A LoyaI Samoan.

Washington, Aug. 18.-Captain Miller
of the naval transport Badger, which ar
rived at San Francisco with the Samoan
commission Aug. 6, has made report
to the navy department, in the course of
which he narrated an interesting story
about one of the native chiefs named
Seumau. Seumau rendered very valuable
service in saving the life of an American
seaman during the great hurricane of
1889, and in recognition of the service
the American admiral presented him
with whaleboat. During the hostilities
between the Mataafa and the Malietoa
factions Seumau was a firm adherent of
the latter, which was backed by the Eng
lish and Americans. Seumau's boat was
wrecked by the Mataafans. Captain
Miller repaired the boat, but he had no
oars or oarlocks to give, and he recon-
mends that the department recognize the
loyalty of this native chief by sending
him an equipment for the boat.

MORE TROLLEYS.

Trolley lines will soon be con-
structed from New Brunswick to
Trenton, and from Trenton to Phila-
delphia. 1t is stated that these troll
ley lines will run alongside or not far
from the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks
and that the railroad company will be
interested in the enterprise.
1t is generally believed that the
proposed new trolley line will become
part of the North Jersey electric
union, to be known as the United
Electric Company.
After fighting Senator John Kean S
Union County trolley enterprise for
the last two years the Elizabeth and
Westfield Street Railway Company
has at last clear route from Plain
field to. the Elizabeth city line, the
final link having been granted by the
Township Committee of Westfield for
the western end of that place. 1t is
expected to have cars running be-
tween Plaintield and the Elizabeth
city limits by October LIST.
1t is probable that the tracks of the
North Jersey Traction Company will
be used to get into Elizabeth, which
will then connect New Brunswick,
Somerville, Bound Brook, Plainfield
and all intermediate towns with Jer-
sey City by trolley, as well as giving
access by the same transit to Pater-
son, Passaic and the Oranges

THE CHEAP MONEY PARTY.

In nominating Mr.. Cleveland for a
second term, in spite of his we'll
known opposition to silver, the dem
ocratic party made a surrender of
principle, and, as is usual in such
cases, the punishment came in the
shape of party decentralization and
disruption. When the silver majority
in 1896 forced free coinage into the
platform it simply declared for the
doctrine that had succeeded the
greenback tenet of 1868, and had been
for twenty years growing in conf
dence of the democratic masses. If
there is any use in parties, if they are
not fraud and menace, they must
be representatives of the principles
and policies in which they believe
When there are disputes, the major
ity must decide. For the majority
in 1896 to have surrendered to the mi
nority would have been base aband-
onment of the fundamental demo-
rcatic idea. Judging from recent re-
marks of exColonel Bryan, John p
Altgeld and Others while the Chicago
platform may not be quite as promi-
nent as in 1896, the principles and
planks so dear to the leaders will re-
main just the same.

TO HOLD OFFICE IN CUBA.
General Brooke Considers a Decree
Making Americans Eligible.


Havana, Aug. 1S.--La Discussion says
editorialiy that Governor General
Brooke wishes to issue decree allowing
Americans to hold public offices and that
he has instructed Secretary of State Ca
pote to draft such a decree. The paper
points out the danger of Cubans being
deprived of their offices by Americans
and declares decree of the nature pro-
posed will cause great discomfort 1t is
said at the office of the secretary of state
that the decree is not intended to espe-
cially favor Americans, but is merely in
tended to modify the Spanish law, which
forbids any foreigners to hold office. The
decree will be submitted to General
Brooke's cabinet ON Tuesday next.
General Brooke has asked Mayor La
coste to inform him as to the opinion of
the municipality regarding the contract
awarded to Michael j. Dady of Brook
lyn for building a sewerage system IN
the city. 1t is stated here that Secretary
of War Root desires information on this
point. Mayor Lacoste told correspond
ent that a report favorable to Mr. Dady
will probably be given.
General Ludlow has prepared his re-
port to Secretary of War Root on his
suppression of the newspaper Ell Recon
centrado. He will send copies of the pa
per and translations of articles appear
ing therein as justification of his action.
A Spanish woman here has been at
tackled by yellow fever. There are other

FRIDAY. AUGUST 10, 1899.
CAMDEN COURIER'S NIGHT
MARE.

1t would appear that the editor of
the Camden Courier is frequent vic
tim of gubernatorial nightmare judg-
ing from his oft repeated references
to the necessity of selecting South
Jersey or some specific section from
which the next Republican candidate
for Governor should come.
Our spasmodic contemporary should
bear in mind that when the Republi-
cans of New Jersey next assemble i'll
Gubernatorial convention, no North,
no South, no East or no West Jersey
will be recognized-but as the Jersey
City Journal puts it :" the man to be
nominated the next time will be NOM
mated not because he comes from
some definite section, but because he
is the man for the position, be he
from Millville or Hackensack or any
place between. -
The Journal sensibly adds, refer
ring to such monkey talk as frequent
ly eliminates from the Courier:
Such talk is foolish and should have
no place in either Republican news
papers or among Republican party
leaders. The governorship is like a
United States senatorship, a question
of men and not of localities. Who,
for instance, cares whether General
Sewall comes from Camden or Hobo
ken, as long as he fulfills the mission
of his office, and is, as he ought to
be, representative of the whole
State and the citizens of every sec
ton A man who has reached posi-
tion to be the candidate of his party
for Governor is always broad man,
hardly ever to be swayed by local
influences, and the history of the last
quarter of a century proves it.

HoBSON HEARD FROM.
Reports In Regard to Repairs Of
Captured Ships.

MepOrt@ In Regard 10 RePhAEs OAA
Captured ships.
Washington, Aug. 10. - Naval Con
structor Richmond Hobson has been
heard from by the navy department for
the first time at any length since he was
assigned to duty in charge OF the Span
ish ships raised from Manila harbor and
now undergoing repairs at Hongkong.
His report is unusually interesting,
dealing in general questions, such as the
need of large dockyard in the orient,
the increasing shipping at Manila and
the prospect that Manila will succeed
Hongkong as the emporium of the east,
the value of Chinese labor in all branch
es of industry, etc. He also says the
three Spanish ships which are completed
will be worth to the government about
100000, and he contemplates trying to
raise three more Spanish vessels now at
the bottom of Manila bay. The letter
is addressed to Rear Admiral Hichborn,
chief of the bureau of construction, and
is dated at Hongkong, July II.

TEDDY" TO OPEN OHIO CAM
PAIGN.

Colonel Dick, chairman of the re-

says that the speaking campaign i'll
his state would be opened on Septem-
Der 23 at Akron. Governor Roosevelt,
of New York, will be the orator on
that occasion with Judge Nash, the
republican candidate for governor
also in attendance.
The selection of Governor Roosevelt
to open the campaign lis regarded as
very happy one, as his intense pa
triotism will place the contest ON the
highest grounds. He will probably
outline the republican attitude on the
Philippine question in his broadcast

CHAIRMAN JONES AND 25-CENT
"PANTS. =

The Little Rock, Ark, Gazette
prints letter from Chairman Jones,
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, who is now travelling in Europe.
A mong other things he says:
We came through Belgium, which
has more people per square mile than
any country i'll the world, and there
l saw my first dogs pulling wagons
like mules, people with wooden shoes
on, and saw my first pair of new
pants i'll show-window, marked %
cents. asked how that could be done.
The reply was: Material costs s
cents, making 8 cents, they got 9
cents for handling, selling and profit.
They were good-looking pants, but
would not fit me, though 1 was sorry
now [ did not take one pair anyway.
The twenty-five cent "pants" were
undoubtedly a revelation to Mr. Jones.
He is now making his first tour of
Europe and never before saw what
the down trodden labor of that conti-
nent can accomplish i'll the way of
cheapness People who live in one
roomed novels, subsist on coarse,
black bread, wear wooden shoes and
help dogs draw carts through the
streets can produce things very cheap
ly. AS Mr.. Jones says in another part
of his letter: Men are of relatively
less Importance and flesh and blood
are cheap. They say wages are very
low and work very hard to get. "
So loud an object lessen as those
twenty-five cent "pants" should be a
revelation to which even the Chair
man of the Democratic National Com.
mittee cannot longer remain blind.

TRANSVAAL CRISIS.
Alleged Concessions by President
Kruger-War RumOrs.

y
London. Aug. 1S.-The Johannesburg
correspondent of The Daily Mail says:
Il learn that, instead of replying to
the proposal of Mr.. Chamberlain, Brit
ish colonial secretary, to refer the fran
chise controversy to a joint commission
of inquiry, the Transvaal government
will intimate its willingness to grant a
five year simple franchise, retrospective
and unhampered by restrictions, and
that the representation of the goldfelds
will be extended to one-fourth of the
volksraad, thus exceeding the fifth de-
manded by Sir Alfred Miner, British
high commissioner for South Africa, and
rendering an inquiry into the present
franchise law unnecessary
Nothing will be demanded in return
for the concessions, but suggestion will
be made that the imperial government
should grant something reciprocal.
This apparent surrender must, how
ever, be received with caution. Unless
the new laws are properly secured by
effectual guarantees, they may only be
intended to grant the shadow of reforms,
with the object of gaining time and plac-
ing Great Britain at disadvantage
The correspondents of, The Times and
The Standard at Johannesburg confirm
the statement of the correspondent of
The Daily Mail, asserting that the new
scheme of the Transvaal executive is
said to be the result of deliberations be-
tween Pretoria, Bloemrontein and the
African politicians at Cape Town.
The Johannesburg correspondent of
The Morning Post says:
1T is stated on all hands that the
Beers in the outside districts are threat
ening that in the event of war they will
murder all the Englishmen and outrage
their women.

MONEY SECONDARY.

The Plainfeld Courier-News quotes
the following from the Elizabeth
Journal relative to the change advo-
Gated in some directions from a state
to county institution for the insane :
This county is considering the adj
visibility and economy of building q
county asylum for the incurable in
sane who are now at Morris Plains
and whose insanity is of the mild
and harmless variety. The subject
is one which may we'll be looked at
by means of the side light which now
flashes from the Industrial School for
Girls What kind of manager and
matron and assistants will the county
be able to obtain? Will they be Mrs.
Eylers? or better? or worse.
And will the trustees or freeholders
visit the asylum often, at unexpected
times, taking deep interest in the
proper treatment of the insane? Or
will they neglect their duties and al
low things to go as they will, only
to resign when troublesome charges
of harsh treatment and i'll usage of
the inmates are made? This is really
the main, the fundamental question.
The matter of money is entirely sec
ondary. What treatment will the
poor, helpless people receive? There
is no telling who soon some one near
and dear may be stricken with in
sanity and become an inmate of an
asylum. Will such an one be treated
well or cruelty? Will county asy-
lum be as good as the state asylum,
or better, or worse? 1t is the matter
of treatment that must be considered,
and until that is settled no other
question can be properly advanced,
