A Tariff Lesson From Germany.

The German meat bill, which is prac-
tically prohibitiye of American meat and
meat products. and, with the exception of
bacon and lard, will shut them out OF the
Empire entirely after 1903. is a protective
tariff lesson that should not be lost on the
people of this country. When we look
across the ocean and see great nation SO
utterly in the power of a single. selfish
element OF its population, that it is COM
PEELED to adopt and apply measures self
evidently oppressive OF all other elements.
and disastrous TO the general prosperity and
well being of majority of interests and
citizens. we may perhaps derive some faint
idea of the spectacle the United States pre-
sents TO Europe bound as it now is hand
and foot TO the American trusts and pro-
tected monopolies.
Because it is profitable for the great
agricultural landowners OF Germany TO
prevent foreign competition with the prod
ucts OF their estates, and thus compel their
own people TO pay them unnecessary and
exoFbitant tribute, the Agrarian party in
the Empire, which includes the greater
part Of the hereditary nobility, has been
long determined to exclude the food com
modities of the United States. and particu-
larry American meats from the markets OF
Germany. In that country the agrarian
interest is consolidated and combined ia
such a manner that its force is exerted
upon the Government much as the trusts
here exert theirs. IL is the dominant power
in domestic politics. aud it cannot be sue
cessfully defied b. the Kaiser. What
ever the future may bring forth. the
agrarian influence at the present time ap-
pears 10 be supreme. 1t necessarily coo.s
the policies and action of the Government.
and it is distinctly and actively anti
American. II was at the bottom of the
German pro-Spanish sentiment during the
late war. 1t hated us then. and il hates
US now. not because OF any sort OF SYM
pathy with Latin countries, to which nor
maily it would be antagoristic, but simply
and solely because the United States is in

sun. this seems not to have utterly cast
MN down. for he is proclaimed as hope
Iui candidate for the tcga now worn by
senator Chandler. Meantime Senator
chandler continues to recuperate at the
virginia Hot Springs. and when his re-
cuperaticn is satisfactory 20 himself he
may conclude to make l. trip to New
Hampshire and make a few states Of bis

to predict that he will soon proceed to

country can prepare itself for some lively
New England politics within the next few
months. II 4 vote CT the newspaper
writer's at Washington could decide the
contest over his seat. Senator Chandler
would be returned as his own successor
unanimously. At the same time these
DISTINGUISHED citizens would not do any
thing to stop the row now brewing in
New Hampshire. They are too fond OF
witnessing and reporting disturbances to
do anything like that.

PoNCA INDIANS PROTEST.
A Delegation Accuse a Government
Agent With Fraud.

delegation OF Ponca Indians yesterday
called upon the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs. William A. Jones. The party con-
sisted of White Chief. Hairy Bear and Buf-
falo Chief. and James p Williams ard
Frank Eagle. interpreters.
Mr. Williams. who is a member of the
Ponca tribe and speaks excellent English
explained to a Times reporter that
the mission OF the delegation was to pre-
sent before the Interior Department and
Congress the wrongs inflicted upon his
people by the'T agent. as well as to sub
nit some resolutions and their rights in
their reservation in Oklahoma.
The agent, \. ]. sharp" said the in
terpreter, lis. we believe. guilty Of a
fraudulent lease contracted some two
years ago with a white cattleman. by
which he obtained a portion of land for
enc year for $1,000. and directly
after the agreement was ratified
transferred his lease for the sum of
$500.
Another matter to be submitted to
the authorities is case which occurred
in our reservation. This was OF a Ponca
Indian who. having already his allotment
in our reservation. married a woman of
the PotawattGmies and was accordingly
granted a portion of land in the reserya-
ton OF that tribe. This man recently re-
turned to our country and took up his
residence on the ground which he claims
he still owns there, SO that he is now
possessed of a double right by means of
marrying into another tribe"
Mr.. Williams explained that he was a
student OF law at the Hampton school.
Another question, he said. which the dele
cation was endeavorng to settle is con-
corning the grant Of the SIS. 900 civilza-
ton fund appropriated by the Government
to the Foncas There are branches Of the
tribe in Nebraska and South Dakota.
amcng whom the fund is being divided
these Indians have identified
themselves with the tribes among whom
they live 1.-The grant devoted to the
Porcas proper is therefore. very small and
the wants OF the tribe are many and
pressing"

public position assumed by the British
Government would seem to be one of de-
hance; and such a note as some people
in Europe believe is about to appear could
only be intended TO bring on hostilities.
But even If nothing in the way of diplo-
matte affront is in preparation. the con-
dtions in China are serious enough to
warrant the fear that war might be pre-
cipitated there. and that it might even
come in such way as to involve the
United States.
We should be slow 10 accuse our neigh
hors OF bad motives or intentions, and
there is no particular reason why Russia
should be unfriendiy to this country. al
though it is not the less true that. dur
ing the Spanish war, her press and peo-
pie were openly so. Still. struggles be-
tween empires do not spring from senti-
ment as rule. and If The Car is in
clined TO look askance at our appearance
IN the East as practically an Asiatic
power it is doubtless because our COM
mercial interests in China are so much
like these Of England as to raise n strong
probability OF common action by the two
Anglo-Saxon powers in certain eventuali-
ties. The United States and Great Brit
ain both want the open door, and the for
mer has asked for it and, it now appears,
has been refused. The open door is es-
sential only to this country. Great Brit
ain, and Japan. Russia, Germany. and
France have their ports and spheres OF
Influence ha
Russian tutelage, the Chinese Govern
ment should decree the closing of the
treaty ports, our large and growing trade
with the interior would be paralyzed
From the diplomatic point of view we
are to some extent estopped from COM
planning, since the powers have offered
consent to American occupation of a port
and sphere of influence on the MAIN
land. We have refused the opportunity
and must make the best of the position
in which we find ourselves. And that po-
sition is that if worse come to worst, and
China and Russia, with France behind,
proceed TO shut British and American
commerce out Of China, We must submit
or fight. 1t is quite useless to ask:
Where is the open door so neatly and ex-
peditiously secured for us by our "splen-
did diplomacy" The returns being near
ly all in, the answer IS that it is not
for us. No wonder that Mr. Mckinley
should pack squadron off to the Gulf Of
Pc Chi Lii, or begin to figure how many
troops can be spared from the Philip
pines for service in Asia,

The Expansion of Bishop Potter.

The return OF the Ri. Rev. Henry c.
| Potter. Anglican Bishop OF New York,
from his recent visit to our far Eastern
| possessions Is marked by the announce
ment of his total conversion to the Jeffer-
| AS is generally well known, when he
started on the outward journey Bishop
| Potter was openly and vigorously opposed
to our retention of the Philippine archi-
! pelago, and earnestly in favor Of its
| abandonment by the United States to the
| Tagals. AS he said in a newspaper inter
view the other day: II went there in an
attitude of antagonism to the whole busi-
nes5.'' Now he believes that since we
| have got those islands, We have got to
| hold on to them. The matter OF
their acquisition is an academic question
| purely
The change which has come over the
views of this distinguished prelate as
result of personal investigation on the
ground, need not surprise anyone. The
same thing has happened in other cases.
President Jacob C. Schurman, OF Cornell
University. was sent out to Manila by the
Admin Jon under the settled impress
sion that he was an anti-expansionist. The
probabilities are that, like Bishop Potter.
at the time when his information was
mostly that furnished in the speeches Of
Senator Hoar and the hysterical pamph-
lets of Aladdin Atkinson, he thought him.
self firmly fixed In opposition to the idea
Of Greater America. But experience as
chairman of the first Philippine Commits
sion taught the same lesson to DR.. Schur-
man that his churchly fellow citizen has
learned, and they are now equally con-
WINGED that there is nothing for this
country to do but TO keep, govern and de-
velop all the rich possessions which are
ours as result OF the war with Spain.
Bishop Potter is satisfied from CONVEX
sations with leading Filipinos in Manila,
and with friends of Aguinaldo in Hong
kong, that the Intelligent class among the
natives are fully convinced that resistance
to the United States IS hopeless, and,
furthermore, that American government
is the best thing that could happen to the
islands and their inhabitants. He thinks
that military control should be main
tanned for some time to come, as none OF
the tribes is yet prepared for self gov
eminent, or even civil government unsup-
ported by strong martial force. Like
many other Americans who have studied
the Philippine question dispassionately he
frankly admits that his mind has greatly |
altered as 10 the relations OF the higher |
civilization to the lower civilization"
