Baron Won Bulow on Samoa.

Perhaps the speech Of tho German Min
Reichstag, is meant only for "home con-
sumption; )" but certainly 1t Is not in special
harmony with the official tone heard in
Washington and London concerning the
late crisis at Apia.
In those capitals we have been accus-
toned to congratulatory expressions over
the concord in the views and relations Of
the co-signatories OF the Samoan treaty;
but Baron Won BtLow publicly announces
that Germany does not approve OF the
craftsmanship OF the agents Of other powers
in behalf Of MALIEToA JANUS" A state
ment, too, from the German Commissioner
that the joint commission received the lat
ter and MATAAFA as party leaders having
equal rights, and a hint that the solution
may be the abolition OF the Kingship, are
suggestive.
Specially noteworthy is the Foreign Min
listers assertion that we shall provide full
indemnity for the Germans whose property
was destroyed by illegal British or Ameri-
can action" What was the illegal action +?
II any occurred, those guilty of 1t must be
censured or otherwise punished. Still we
do not find In Baron Won BtLow's speech
any ground for apprehendingthatt the three
powers are at odds as to practical action in
Samoa, although they may not be quite at
accord in sentiment as to details and in
their views OF past occurrences.

Manly Retraction by the Next Speaker

The emotional nature OF Gen. HENDER-
SONS Judgments and his creditable readi-
ness to retract them when they are wrong
are both illustrated in the subioined pas
sage from speech delivered by him last
week at Dubuque:
Here in my home State. in my home district in
the city love so we'll. and among people love
WELL from this platform from which l have spoken
to you so often want to publicly acknowledge the
great wrong I have done II. CLAY EVANS. Boys he
Ii your friend and the friend OF the old soldiers
everywhere. Let US give him at least justice"
The Hon. HENRY CLAY EVANS is the Com
missioner Of Pensions under the present
Administration. In that Office he has
striven to do his duty not only to the vet
Grams justly entitled to pensions, but also
to the Government in the matter OF the
prevention Of frauds and the protection OF
the Treasury.
The courageous performance OF his duty
to the Government and the people has
brought Commissioner EVANS into con-
flict with the greed OF some Of the PEN
sion attorneys. 1t has exasperated some OF
those Congressman whose main care in
regard to pensions Is to push through
the private pension bills in which their
constituents are interested. Mr.. EVANS
has been attacked violently for doing his
duty. His policy and his attitude have
been shamefully misrepresented. Because
he has set his face against loose practices
and wholesale fraud, he has been exhibited
as an obstacle to the righteous execution Of
the pension laws. and he has been de-
nounced as an enemy OF the old soldier
Among the most violent and apparently
unreasonable OF Commissioner EvANs's as
sailants has been the Hon. DAVID BREMNER
HENDERSON, who now publicly confesses
at Dubuque "the great wrong have done
II. CLAY EVANS"
Everybody will think better OF Gen.
HENDERSON because Of this manly acknowl-
edgment Of error and injustice The con-
fession shows that his heart is right,
although probably nobody has ever doubted
the generosity OF his impulses.
Moreover 1t is encouraging to know that
the next Speaker Is not afraid to say that
his judgment has been wrong, as soon as he
percelves that such Is the case.

A secret drawer Is sometimes very hard to

much exceed 400. The number Of persons
registered at the American Consulate
General as claiming the protection OF the
United States was thirty-two, in addition
to which Mr.. MuLL1aAN knew OF three
native-born Americans and one naturalized
citizen who had not registered OF the
thirty-two mentioned, twelve were Ameri-
can born, nine were naturalized citizens OF
foreign birth and eleven were Samoan half
castles with American fathers. The difference
between the figures given by Mr.. Multi
GAN on the one hand and Mr.. BRoDRICK
on the other is In part due TO the fact that
all the Chinese are British subjects.
1t would be absurd, of course, to compar,
tho trade OF Samoa with that OF Fiji, or of
the Hawaiian Islands. 1t Is more reason
able and useful to compare Samoa with tho
little group Of the Tonga Islands, about 600
miles distant, which are pcoped by Poly
nesians, closely akin to the Samoans, and
much intermarried with them. The area
OF the Kingdom OF Tonga is about ono
fourth that Of Samoa, and its population Is
less than two-thirds as large as that OF the
last-named archipelago. In 1894, never
theless, Tongas exports and imports
amounted to S793,062, as against Samoa's
$767,s62, and the public revenue was al
most twice as large 1t is true that, in re-
spect to fertility, Tonga is much superior
to Samoa.
The fact should not be overlooked that,
while Consul-General MULIIaAN could sec
no commercial future for Samoa. he laid the
utmost stress on the Importance to tho
United States OF a naval station at Pago
Pago, on the island OF Tutuila. Since his
report was made the prospect OF the early
construction Of ship canal across the
American isthmus has further emphasized
the necessity OF holding to the rights
which we possess by treaty in the admirable
harbor named. During what is called the
hurricane season warships may lie with
perfect security in Pago Pago whereas in
Apia, at the same period of the year, steam
must be kept up all the time to provide
against possible exigencies.

The Great Advantage Of tho South.

Tho proposition that the manufacturing
centre OF the United States will one day be
located in the South" Is laid down by our
esteemed contemporary Dirie, OF Atlanta,
and is defended by it on the ground that the
South has an advantage In It's negro labor
which is bound to defeat all attempts at
Industrial competition in the North.
This advantage, Us we have frequently
suggested, consists in the independence Of
negro labor from all the restraints OF
organized labor as it exists elsewhere in
civilization. Tho negro" says Dirie
stands as permanent and positive
barrier against labor organization in the
South" while such organization Is the
potent and sometimes tho controlling
barrier to industry in many sections Of the
United States, and the end Is not yet" 1t
assumes that hero at the South we will
never be seriously troubled with the vicious
class of labor organizations, for 1.-The
ignorant and vicious class OF our popula-
tion is not eligible for membership" the
negro being excluded from them "in the
nature Of things" All attempts to organ
lie negro unions have proved fiat failures,
for 1.-The negro lacks the venom and vicious
istic organizations which threaten industry
IN certain sections Of our country" ''he Is
absolutely careless OF the power that organ
ization Of this character might give him." AS
the white unions would refuse to admit him
he would have to get up union OF his own.
but his good natured" temperament
affords sufficient assurance that he will
never do it. "He is becoming skilled In the
mechanical arts" professional labor agita-
tors are powerless with him, and conse-
Quently there Ia no possible hindrance" to
his improvement as mechanical laborer.
As "tho negro and the white man will
work separately always" there is no danger
that white methods OF organization will
ever include him or divert him from the
independent course he Is now pursuing.
Such is the argument by which this
Southern paper, devoted specifically to
Southern industrial interests, supports the
proposition that in its negro labor the
South has tremendous advantage that
will one day make it the manufacturing
centre Of the United States" 1t Is practi-
cal view Of the race question which is Of
the greatest suggestiveness socially and
politically, no less than industrially. The
cry which we have heard from fow quar-
ters that the South should kill the goose
that lays the golden egg by forcibly de-
porting the negroes does not come from
discerning men. for obviously the prime
factor In the development OF the South
must BIO the negro race, and the increasing
recognition Of the fact Is sure to conduce
also to the advantage Of the negro.
