GENTLENEss IN WAR
A Singular Characteristic of the

Incident.

War is savage in its very nature, and
one looks for war among savages to be
peculiarly barbarous That such is not
always tho case among the people Of
Samoa is attested by a letter sent from
Samoa by an American gentleman who
recently visited Apia, and who gives a
description Of Mataafa's army in camp
after a battle between the rival Claim
ants to the throne, says Youths Cow
pahion.
I'VE went all about among the huts
where the savages were resting after
the battle and making preparations for
the next fight. 1t was a very peaceful
scene, for their arms were all concealed
under the mats where the men sat, and
many of the soldiers were accompanied
by their wives and children. They
were amusing themselves by smoking
and beating tom-toms.
"The Samoans are a most amiable
race Of savages, and white people are al
ways perfectly safe among them
Everywhere we were greeted Will
smiles and friendly mods and the saluta-
ton, 'Talofa,' which means Love &c

NO MORE FUSION.

While there are still decided aiRer-
ences OF opinion among DamUCrats on
questions OF principle. we are glad 10
observe that they are practically unit
ed on one line OF policy, namely, op-
position to fusion with the populist or
any other party
We had fusion to a considerable ex-
tent in 1892, and we had It "ad nause-
um" In 1896. Thousands cf Democrats
In the latter year refused, to obey the
behests Of party leaders and commit
tees who directed them 10 vote mixed
tickets, and these men who stood true
to Democratic candidates and Demo-
cratic principles were called boilers
They were. in fact, better Democrats
than the fusionists with whom they
refused to associate.
Mr. Bryan, in his campaign for the
presidency, was taunted with the faci
that he had voted for the Populisi
electors in Nebraska ia 1892. His reply
was that the State Democratic Com
mittee OF Nebraska had considered &
good policy for the Democrats of tina
state to vote for the Populist nomi
nees, and that he had agreed will
them. Mr. Bryan did what he though
best for his party, but there were thou
sands Of Democrats in Nebraska il
1892 who refused to vote a Populis
ticket for any consideration whatso
aver. and who insisted upon takinl
their Democracy straight.
Fusion has caused trouble and bre,

is ever tried again.
We are glad TO see that some emf

strong advocates Of fusion are nov

There Is no scarcity OF cattle, he

American Meat Trust desires to control
the British market and drive out Aus

selling enormous quantities OF meat in
England at a loss, and IL has decided
TO make the American people pay the
loss. Ny shipping large quantities OF
meat to England it creates an appear
ance of scarcity here, and with that foI
excuse it has raised prices here from
20 to so per cent, so that its dividend.
may not be impaired by its losses

JAPANEsE CoMMERcE.

Japan is a remarkable little coun-
try. In some respects it remains As
truly oriental as any country in the
East, while in others 1t is fully abreast
Of the nations OF the West.
The Treasury Bureau Of Statistics
has issued monograph on the re-
growth OF Japanese CON
merce in the past five years. It says
that with new currency, a new tar
ifi new treaties and new relations
with the large foreign element which
has played so large a part in the do
yelopnent of japan, conditions in that
empire are a subject OF especial inter
est present and prospective while
the rapid development Of American
commerce within Japan and the mar
ket there opening for American goods
adds greatly to the interest OF this
study No other nation has expert
enced such a remarkable growth in It's
commerce with Japan. as has the
United States. Japanese official fig

United States in 1899 at 5000, ,40S yen,

SOUND REPUBLICAN ADVICE.

COUNil hii- DA4l0AN ABNl0
To the editor of the Sussex Repub.
lican, who is one Of the most promi-
nent Regular Republican leaders in
the state, the political outlook is not
encouraging to either the Regular
Republicans or Union Republicans, In
an editorial leader he says:
The Democrats seem perfectly sure
OF success and their hopes are not
founded on nothingness. The present
difference of opinion existing among
Republicans can only result in Demo-
cratic victory and all that implies. But
wisdom should dictate forbearance and
a less acrimonious feeling toward each
other IL they wish to realize a conflr-
nation OF their hopes. II they do not
look out they will rival the Republi-
cans as a shining example OF what
may be the result Of continual bicker-
ings and disagreements in affairs po-
litical.
Here is good, sound advice to Demo-
Gratis, even though it comes from a
RePubllcan source. No effort should
be spared by the Democratic managers
to pursue a line of policy which will
prevent Democratic chickering's and
the tearing open Of any old sores. gen
eral or local, which may exist With
Republicans hopelessly divided, It be-
comes Democrat to perfect, strengthen
and protect their unity. The approach
ing election Is the most important one
held for years, and every step taken
by our party ought to be carefully
considered to the end shat no gross
mistakes be made.
