The Mules Delusion.

The pack mule is quite as much an
institution as the team mule and is
absolutely Indispensable in the noun
tains. Mule packing is fine art, and
with a well trained animal and a skill
ful packer you can safely transport
anything from piano to bag of oats.
When the packer has finished his job
In an artistic manner, the animal may
buck or back, kick or rear or roll, but
he cannot rid himself Of his burden,
and he finally gives 1t up in despair
After two or three experiences he will
submit to his destiny and fall into line
with the rest of the train every morn
ing to receive his load from the pack
er. A well trained pack mule is al
ways proud of his load, and II by any
means 1t gets loose he will step quietly
out Of line and wait until the pack
master comes along to tighten 1t.
The most serious objection to the
mule, which you sometimes find in hui
man beings also, Is the delusion that
he can sing. One who has never heard
mule solo cannot appreciate the ex-
tent Of his mistake; but, like every
thing else about mule, his song Is
strictly original. 1t belongs to no 9th.
er animal. No one can describe and no
one can initiate it.-New York Mail

PARAMOUNT IYTEREsTS-EoUAL RIGHTS

Amid the various comments upon the crisis
In Samoa We have observed none going more
accurately to the heart Of the matter than that
OF q leading German paper, the "Vossisehe Zei-
tung" 1t SAYS that the United States evidently
"does not mean 10 respect Germany's para
mount interests" Evidently the "Vossische
Yeltung' can distinguish the difference between
a hawk and handsaw, or Il hernshaw or
whatever II was Hamlet said especially when
the wind is from that southwest quarter or the
world where lies Samoa. It's statement OF the
Intentions of the United States is marked with
singularly just appreciation and exact under
standing. II may be accepted as entirely true
that the United States Goes not mean TO re-
spect "Germany's paramount interests" The
United States is not ia the habit Of respecting
things that do not exist.
II any nation had paramount rights In Samoa
II might well be claimed TO be the United States.
1t was this country that first OF all opened
Samoa to civilized intercourse. 1t was this
country that first Of all, In 1878, made treaty
with the Samoan Government Germany foi-
lowing I'm 1879 and Great Britain six months
later still. That VIII not be disputed certainly
not by Germany. For in a memorable inter-
view on January 16 1886. the American Minis
ter at Berlin reminded the German Minister for
Foreign Affairs that the United States had
treaty with Samoa antcdating that of Germany
or Great Britain, securing 10 it and its citizen5
AL the privileges of the most favored nation
To this the German Minister "assented very
appreciatiyely." Mr. Pondleton further stated
that this country would expect nothing to DO
done to impair It's rights under that treaty, TO
which Count Bismarck replied that Germany
intended to maintain the status as II had thith-
erto existed. And In August 1887, Prince Bis
marck himself added that Germany did not
aim at the exercise Of a stronger influence with
regard TO the affairs OF the islands than Great
Britain and America. Finally, In the General
Act signed at Berlin on June IA, 1850, the equal
rights Of the citizens Of the three sisnatory
Powers were expressly recognized.
So much for priority OF interests. So far as
magnitude OF existing commercial and other In
terests Is concerned, the facts DO not by any
means establish Germanys claim. In 1856 Ger
many claimed ownership of $4,000 acres or
lind In Samoa most of which had been got from
the natives by gross trickery and fraud. Az the
same time. Great Britain claimed, with as good
and perhaps better right, $4,000 acres Eieht
years later an impartial commission reduced
these claims 10 q small fraction. confirming 10
Germany only $1,000 acres, and TO Great Brit
ain $4,000 acres. To this country $1,000 acres
were confirmed In that respect, then. German
interests appear TO be more extensive than
those OF either of the other Powers; more ex-
tensive but not paramount; differing In degree,
hss not IN kind. Perhaps our ownership OF

TROLLEY CONFISCATTOE.

In the suburbs Of New-York In many IN
stances the trolley companies have been work
Ing serious mischief, and intend to do further
harm II their schemes are not checked. The
boldness of some Of these corporations Is amaz-
ing. Their managers act as II they had some
special claim upon the public emitting them
to confiscate public property for the pecunary
gain of their companies. Accordingly, instead of
buying their right Of way, as other compa MES
wanting TO build railroads do, they simply
seize the highways, which have been laid out,
graded, constructed, repaired and improved at
the cost Of the taxpayers. What good reason is
there why these companies should be permitted
for private gain to destroy this public property,
or greatly injure II for the purposes for which
II has been created? Would ii not be proper to
require the projectors Of new trolley lines 10
purchase the right OF way. 10 pay for the grad
ing and TO expend their own money upon their
routes, precisely as steam railroads are COM
PEELED to do? Why not? In numerous cases in
and near this city the troleys have been al
lowed to ruin attractive drives on which large
amounts Of public funds have been lavlshed.
The users Of these roads have been injured; the
taxpayers who paid for them have thus been
robbed, and the companies owning the lines

Picturesque drives among the chief de-

there be ia driving where the Changing trolley
cars take mp the best part OF an avenue or
street? Country roads are necessarles of life to
country community; what compensation Is II
TO the residents who have built them and paid
for them. and are now robbed OF them. to be told
that the people In some village seyernl miles to
the right OF them are now able to rush through
their lands to some beach several miles 10 the
left OF them az n lower price or in less time
than formerly? If some private corporation
wishes TO make money by rushing them
through why shouldn't II buy and pay for It's

In their plans for destructive encroachments
these trolley corporations usually pretend that
they are aiming to develop the general prosperity
Of the suburbs. But this ravaging OF costly
avenues and streets IL inspired, OF course. by
ovarlce. and their schemes result In so extensive
damage and injury 10 many delightful towns
and villages that to permit them to extend their
