countries seemed to do what ii could to
stimulate trouble But all this has now
taken its place among the has beens''
The cause of the American mstrust of
Germany is found in the peculiar and
strange actions of the German admiral
al Manila. He kept aloof from the Amer
leans and chummed with the French in
a certain part of the Manila harbor.
while the American, British and japanese
vessels seemed to be drawn by a sort of
affinity to another part. The conclusion
drawn by the action of the German ad-
miral was that he isolated himself in re-
sponse to secret orders from his govern
ment. Whether he was or was not. may
or may not transpire in the distant fu-
ture. That may be left to explain it.
But what most concerns our people now
peace now pass between the two coun-
tries.
The withdrawal of the Kaiserin Au-
gusta from Philippine waters, the conf
dencc shown in the fairness and ability
of the Americans to take care of the Ger
mans and their interests in the islands,
in referring their Samoan matters to the
good offices of this country and last
though not the least, in lowering her bars
against q freer trade with this country
are conclusive evidences that Germany
is quite sincere in her desire to maintain
the best of relations with the United
States.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

1t is hoped and by many. confidently
expected, that the difficult problems
which have already and which may arise
out of our relations with Cuba, and Porto
Rico and the Philippines, will be disposed
of by the new congress to the satisfaction
Of all parties concerned. This is assumed
for the reason that a new set of congress-
men will come fresh from the arena of
public discussion imbued with a desire to
conserve the interests Of our own people
and those Of the islands mentioned
The so-called "non-expansionists" and
"anti-imperiaIists' have said about all
they can advance, on the sentimental side
of the question. They have been met and
overthrown by stubborn facts, and it is
fair to assume they will accept the situa-
ton and lend helping hand to settle the
more serious questions of our vast COM
mercial interests in the Pacific, and to
protect those interests from the hostility
of European combines whose interests are
dametrically opposed to those of this
country.
The question Of free access to China for
trading purposes, of course, available to
all countries will, doubtless, come up and
be exhaustively discussed. If that matter
can be equitably and satisfactorily settled
this country may easily succeed in defeat
ing the designs of military powers whict
wish to partition that country anon!
themselves. The China "open door ma.
thus be secured without friction with ou
transatlantic neighbors and the grea
question settled on a pacific basis.

OUR RELATIONS WITH GERMANY.

If the recent action of Germany in
withdrawing the kaiserin Augusta from
Manila and announcing that the protec-
ton of Germans in the Philippines will
be left to the United States, signifies any,
thing it means that our relations with
that nation are getting back to an avow-
edly friendly feeling. 1t Furthermore
means that Germany accepts the situa-
ton in the Philippines that the United
States have, by purchase and conquest,
acquired sovereignty there and that the
American forces are fully able to protect
German interests and will protect them
as readily as they are or would be pro-
tected in any harbor on the Atlantic
coast.
1t is true that since that May morning
when Dewey's fleet sailed into Manila
harbor and destroyed the Spanish fleet
there, our relations with Germany have
been somewhat strained. 1t is quite as
true there have been plenty of assurances
from Berlin and from Washington that
the two governments were on the most
friendly terms, but those assurances
have not altogether disarmed suspicion
on either side of the Atlantic, for the
pugnacious portion Of the public in both
