for doing the agreeable" in the tri-
butte 1t pays them, which article will

Dispatch is an observing and conser-
vatlvely edited newspaper. and when
1T asserts a thing it believe it has the
foundation for saying SO. and hence
the weekly press editors may"tip their
hats" in acknowledgment of the
Dispatches kindness.
The weekly papers deserve more
encouragement than they receive from
the community in which they are is
sued. Were they to drop out of the
life of that community their disap-

many persons imagine. And vet
there are people who take weekly

In duty bound TO pay for 1t and act
as If the publisher can afford to work
for nothing. The labors of country
editors are far from being easy. aud
their struggles to get along difficult.
All the type aud material they use
aud labor employed have TO be paid
for. No one would think of asking
a farmer, year after year, to furnish
him with barrel of corn without
paying for it, and yet some persons
think publisher can live by iguor-
ing such plain business principle.
Weekly papers may some times seem
poorl ' conducted, but those disposed
TO criticise them for such failures
ought to ask themselves whether they
have encouraged the editor to put
forth his best efforts by paying for
the paper they receive and by giving
him the job work they can, because
of the many acts Of kindness ne has

OUR GERMAN RELATIONs.

Several things have occurred within
. year or SO that have not been calcu-
lated to increase the cordial relations
between this country and Germany but
thus far positive friction has been
avoided and the sensible view has been
taken by both governments of all these
occurrences.
The friction between the German adj
miral Won Diedrichs and Admiral
Z Dewey in the Philippines was quickly
removed by the prompt action of the
German government in relieving the
offending admiral of his command
there.
The gross violation of etiquette and
good taste by Captain Coghlan in re-
citing at banquet doggerel verses rid
iculing the German emperor is serious
offense, which, however, is not Great
ing any undue excitement here or in
Germany. The official German pro-
test against Capt Coghlan's language
will doubtless be met by at least Sc
we're reprimand for the Captain, if not
by severer measures of punishment for
his gross indiscretion, as soon as the
timid administration at Washington is
sure of public sentiment, which is prac-
tically unit in agreeing that Capt
Coghlan should be properly punished
for his very bad break-not the first
the gallant Captain has been guilty Of,
by the way.
Meanwhile, at this juncture, it is
pleasant and reassuring to know that
Admiral Dewey and Prince Henry OF
Prussia, the new German commander,
are on the friendliest terms at Manila.
The Prince, we are informed from Ber-
lin, on his arrival wrote Admiral Dewey

IMPERIAL TRADE FALLACIES.

The administration party has been en-
deavoring to back up its imperial policy
by much talk about the increase of
trade it will bring US and dissertations
on the line of trade follows the flag"
nonsense. Recently the War Depart
Iment issued mass of figures to show
that there is prospect for reimburse
ment for our war expenditures in the
future trade with the tropical islands
we have taken as result of the Span
ish war.
Those Algerian figures are called in
question by even so straightlaced Re-
publican organ as the New York Press.
'All these figures" declares the Press,
ARE mere waste OF time, paper and
ink, if it is sought to be proven by them
that the war with Spain can. have been
paying investment save in the dis
charge of a great debt to humanity
and a large increase of our capital of
| national prestige
This New York Republican organ,
whose Republicanism has always been
| of the brass-collar kind. but which
finds it difficult to swallow the imperial
| dose. contends that these islands can
never be profitable to us in a trade way
to the extent the annexationists claim.
English statistics show that Great
Britain exports 1884 per capita to her
non-tropical colonies, as against only
Sc per capita to her tropical ones.
| These figures are correct and they
effectually puncture the great fraud by
which the imperialists would deceive
the people of this country into support
| ing the Wall street policy of selfish
| grab and greed at the expense of Ameri-
can life. treasure and peace. AS our
contemporary truly says, there is more
legitimate trade to be developed an
nually in one big Western State, or the
Dominion Of Canada-which takes nov
