The Samoan group con sists OF three large
islands and four small ones. These islets,
namely, Apoluna. Manono. Olosiga and Ofu,
are small and unimportant.
The larger islands are Upolu, where Apia
IA situated Savaii, where British land in
terests have been predominant; and Tutu-
fla, containing the bay and harbor OF Pago-
pago. covered by the American flag since
the treaty OF 1878 between this country and
Samoa, without reference to the tripartite
treaty concluded twelve years later between
England, Germany and the United States.
In any scheme Of partition or division OF
the group among the three powers our
treaty rights in Pago-pago the best harbor
in the group. cannot properly he considered
as an Offset to the superior Importance In
other respects Of Upolu and Savaii; for
Pago-pago is already ours.
The suggestion that Germany should
acquire Upolu. England Savaii, and the
United States Tutuila, was made originally
In Berlin, as long ago as 1885.
II this IL the basis Of present negotiations
for the partition OF the group Germany
taking Upolu with the municipality OF
Apia, England taking Savaii, to keep II or
transfer 1t to Germany for equivalent
value in one form or another elsewhere on
the globes surface, and our Government
acquiring sovereignty over Tutuila, what
would the division look like, set down on
paper in Arabic numerals
The areas OF the respective islands have
been variously stated. We take the figures
as reported by Mr.. JOHN B. THURsToN, the
Special Commissioner for Great Britain
when the Samoan question was first acute

Heaven forbid that there should be any
embarrassments to the altruistic attitude
OF our Government toward our friends OF
Berlin and London!
Nevertheless, Samoan geography Is an
interesting study while negotiations for
partition are in progress, especially so
from the fact that any one Of the three sig
natory governments has the power to block
any deal whatsoever.

In long article on Gov. Bradley s
turn down in Louisville by his party,
Col. Breckenridge, who knows how 1t
is himself, says 10 the Lexington Her.
aid that he "has fellow-feeling Tor
Gov. Bradley, but assures him that
there is much left in life-both Of
pleasure and work-even after being
turned out of ones party. And there
is some comfort in being free from all
necessity to be prudent in speech.
There is a vast difference between
Bradley's position and that OF Breck-
inridge. The former is and will con-
tinue to be the head and brains OF the
republican party In Kentucky, while
the latter has no standing in either
party. The democrats won't have hlm

good Judgment is used, is certain to win

WOW iu any manner and at any time
they see fit. The representation Is one
delegate for every 100 votes cast for
Bailey for clerk OF the court OF appeals,
which will give Lincoln county 10. The
meeting in Louisville was remarkable
for the absence of familiar faces and
for the inharmonious mingling OF the
factions.

GEN. HARDIN is either verv conf
dent or very boastful man. He told
the Lexington Herald that he is sure
to win the nomination for governor,
that Goebel's strength was confined TO
his own and few other counties,
while he, Hardin, would get more votes
in Stones district than Stone himself.
A combination between the two, he
says. can not beat him as he will go to
Louisville with enough votes TO organ
ize the convention and then dictate
matters. Confidence is good factor in
a fight, but we opine that Gen. Hardin
is disposed to talk through his hat and
like the fellow who went through the
grave yard at night, whistles TO keep
his courage up.

CAPT. CoGHLAND, OF the returned
cruiser, Raleigh. has raised breeze In
diplomatic circles by relating his person
al observations OF rebuke and threat
administered by Admiral Dewey to the
German naval commanders at Manila.
He SAYS that when the German war;
ships were disposed to act ugly there,
Dewey sent for the German representa-
tive and told him that II he did not or
der his admiral to cease his operations
and let the blockade be complete he
would fire on his vessels. "But they
are flying the German lag," the repre-
sentative observed. "They can be
bought at SOC yard" replied Dewey
''and II you want war am ready for
it," This was said so emphatically that
the discussion ended and the admiral
evidently got his orders as he ceased
from troubling forthwith.
Like the parrot, Capt. Coghlan
seems to have talked too much and
Secretary Hay has expressed strong
disapproval of his conduct to the Ger
man Ambassador. Coghlan will be

THE New York Herald takes 1t that
Reed will move to New York more 10
aid his ambition to be nominated for
president than TO make money in the
practice of law and his action is regard
ed with uneasiness both by Mckinley
and Roosevelt. Reed and Platt are
great friends aud this is also regarded
as an element of danger. Reed may
not be the most popular, but he's intn-
itely the strongest personality in the
republican party and If he were to be
elected president, he would rule the
country with an even heavier rod of
iron than he has ruled Congress and
made II do his will.

THOUGH any kind of death was per-
haps too good for the Negro, Sam
Hose, who murdered a white man In
Georgia and then raped his wife near
the dead body, the story of the fiendish
manner in which he was put to death,
shows brutishness and cruelty that
Southern people should have been in
capable of. The Negro had committed
two Of the most horrible of crimes aud
richly deserved death, but there eau
be no excuse for butchering him aud
burning him in fiendish glee and the
act puts a stain on the honor of the
State that will be hard to eradicate.
