SATURDAY EVENING. NOV. Is 1899

If RIGHT ideas, and the ability to ex-
press them, deserve political reward
then certainly Mr.. De Almond, OF M s.
souri,. should be the next democratic
leader on the floor of the U. 3. House
of Represe II ,atives. He says the Pnil-
inn,ne Islands should never have beef
se;zed. and should be restored to the
neoule thereof Immediately, as the pre-
tence that this country is the exempiar
of the world, in the face of the forciole
retention of those islands, is worse than
ridiculous; that free Cuba, for which the
Spanish war was nominally prose-
cuted. should exist; that trusts should
be suppressed; that large standing
army should be abolished and imperl-
alism be squelched; that the currency
should be improved, and that govern
mental extravaganza should be reduced.
A man with such wise views, snd aoie
10 support them, at the head of strong
minority on the floor Of the House,
would not only be OF great benefit TO
his party. but to the whole country.

AS SENATOR MORGAN of Alabama
has, in his old age, abandoned the con-
servstism of the democratic party, and
taken up the radicalism of the republi
cans, supporting all sorts of jingoism
and imperialism, from the annexation OF
Hawaii to that of the Philippine ISL
auds, defying all nations that don't
agree with him, and opposing the over
whelming majority of his party in re-
spect of the Chicago platform and tick
ct, all good and true democrats, not
only of his OVID, but OF all the other
States, hope that the effort to defeat
his reelection may be successful.

The anti-democratic newspaper OF
Richmond dominates Senator Daniel
for President. As bygoDes are not
really bygones to anybody, though
few people, for their own benefit, say
they are, such nomination is impo
tent and is only characteristic of its
maker, There are few Southern men,
let alone Virginians, who wouldn't vote
and pray for the election of Mr.. Daniel
to the Presidency. but it is equally as
true that no intelligent man among
them believes that he could carry
single Northern State. In the North,
the election of any ex-Confederate to
the Presidency, as is said there, would
be more than "fesh and blood could
stand" and, in the South, could possibly
do no good. as this section will vote
solidly for anybody the national demo-
cratic convention may nominate.

A NORTHERN republican imperialistic
journal, speaking of the intention to
bring to this country the remains OF
the men lost by the sinking of the bat
tleship Maine, says those men gave up
their lives "whie CALAMITY defending

was not in danger at any time during

heard before that the men who were

THE SAMOAN SETTLEMENT.

By no means the least interesting and mpor-
tant matter now pending at Washington Is the
treaty for the partition Of Samoa, which the
President has transmitted to the Senate for its
action as the complementary treaty making
| Power The terms Of the instrument are IN
general, well known to the public They were
indeed. indicated by the President himself In his
annual message. Great Britain Is to withdraw
politically from the islands altogether. receiv-
ing from Germany compensation elsewhere
The United States is to have sole political con-
troll Of Tutuila, Manua and the other islets east
of the Hist meridian Germany Is to have full
political control Of Savai Upolu and all the
rest Of the group. But It is expressly provided
that the United States shall continue TO enjoy
in all the islands thus assigned to Germany the
same privileges of shipping and commerce that
Germany herself will enjoy Thus the United
States Is TO get all 1t has ever wanted IN Samoa,
to wit, undisputed possession of the ncompara-
BILE harbor Of Pago Pago and an "open door In
all the islands. So far the treaty commends
itself to favor.
What is to be considered with especial care is
the possible effect Of the treaty and the ar
rangement 1t is TO effect upon American inter
ests elsewhere Those interests are now much
troll Of Samoa was established, or than they
were even a year or two ago When our pos
sessions and political activities were confined
substantially to continental limits treaty max
ing was comparatively simple matter. To
day American possessions are scattered In re-
mote parts of the world, and lines Of interest
are commensurately extended and socitude for
their welfare is Increased. 1t is, Of course, TO
be assumed that the treaty has been so drawn
that none Of our rights and interests elsewhere
have been in any degree impaired or menaced.
But it is equally to be assumed that in the exer-
else of It's constitutional power and duty the
Senate will make certain that such is the case.
That done, the ratification Of the treaty will be
welcomed as one more triumph Of American
diplomacy and as a happy settlement OF what
has long been an irritating and vexatious prob

may be- There is undoubtedly some bargain
between Great Britain and Portugal which the
rest Of the world knows naugbt Of 1t may De-
too, that Germany has acquiesced In that treaty.
But II So Il Is difficult to understand why Great
Britain has not already exercised that right ana
why she did not do so long ago. as soon as IL
was apparent that the Beers were using the Bay
as base Of supplies. No doubt such action
would De displeasing to France and Russia.
But we have been given to understand that
with Germany for her friend Great Britain was
not permitting herself TO be intimidated or dis
turbed by Continental menaces. Since by TAX
ing possession Of Delagoa Bay the British could
not only shut off all Boer supplies, but could
also themselves In the easiest fashion march an
army right into the Transvaal and take the
Boer forces In the rear. It certainly seems
strange that they do not do so If they have such
a treaty right
Upon one point we cannot view the situation
precisely as "Ex-Attache" does and as many
others are doing We cannot regard seriously
the menace Of Boer seizure Of Delagoa Bay
That II seems to us, Is the very last thihg Tue
Beers want to do. If they rushed" and seized
Delagoa Bay, as they could easily 90 at any
time, there would instantly be a counter attack
by the British, and If the British did not ianu
and seize 1t they could and would certainly
blockade Il In the strictest manner. The place
would be absolutely sealed up within twenty
four hours of the Boer seizure. 1t Is TO the
Beers interest to keep the place In It's present
status-neutral ground-which they only OF the
present two belligerents can use TO advantage
But whether or not Great Britain will permit
such status 10 continue, and, II not, In what
way she will change 1t, are among the most IN
