GERMANS ABROAD.

Some recent imperial statistics in Germany
give Interesting information, though not entire
ly pleasing to Germany, concerning the number
and place of German subjects former sub
jects in foreign lands. There are. it appears,
outside of the German Empire more than 3,OO0
600 persons who were born within it and were
thus its natural subjects; and there are also
more than 10000 who are or were not native
but adopted subjects. Against this loss of more
than 3450O00 Germany has gained fewer than
So, 900 inhabitants from abroad, of whom four
fifths are from the adjacent countries of Au-
stria Holland, Switzerland and Russia OF the
3,4500O0 emigrants all but an insignificant mi
nority have become naturalized In their new
homes, and thus are permanently lost to the
Fatherland, while a much smaller proportion OF
the immigrants have become naturaliZed in
Germany.
The distribution of the expatriated Germans
is worthy of notice. More than three-fourths
of them or 1863 164, are in the United States

PROGRESS rowARD RECIPROCITY

Since the adjournment Of the National Reel
2rocity Conference in Chicago less uneasiness
has been shown at the prospect Of a tariff war
with Germany and the seven powers Of Central
and Eastern Europe which have united under
Germany's leadership in a limited zollverein. IT
was shown at this gathering that our national
interests were not seriously threatened by the
commercial alliances concluded by the Berlin
government and that the United States WAS i'm
position TO defend herself against aggression
or oiscriTnlnssion. 1t was also shown that Ger

had no desire TO provoke US to q commercial
conflict, and was, in fact anxious 10 adjust her

THE BENNINGTON EXPLOSION.

Secretary Bonaparte has lost no time In ex-
anining the testimony adduced by the official
inquiry into the disaster which occurred few
weeks ago in San Diego Harbor. He has thus
been led TO comply with the recommendation
of the board which conducted the investigation
that Ensign Wade be brought to trial for neg
lect of duty, but he has coupled with that de-
cision another which Will excite much surprise.
Not being convinced that a suitable state of
discipline had prevailed on the Bennington
prior TO the accident he feels 1t necessary to
order that Commander Young shall also be ar
raigned for an apparent laxlty of administra ton.
1t does not look as if the Secretary of the Navy
were disposed TO exculpate Mr.. Wade-Whom
he designates "chief engineer" of the vessel
on account Of the negligence which he provi-
sionally imputes to the officer in charge Of the
ship. For the time being the two cases may
be regarded independently of each other. But
if the tribunal which tries Ensign Wade should
find any mitigation of his offence in the alleged
slackness Of his superior officer, no doubt that
fact would influence its verdict.
Without prejudging the case of Commander
Young, it may be said that in directing that he
shall clear himself of the charge of neglect, Sec
retary BonRparte shows lively sense Of the re-
sponsibility of the men who are placed in com
mand Of American warships. He has pre-
vented a possibility that a scapegoat might be
made of Mr. Wade. Nor is his comment on
Commander Young's management final con
demnation In directing that charges shall be
preferred against that officer he merely acts as
does grand jury in authorizing indictment
for crime He merely shows that in his opinion
there is prima facie case. 1t is for other men
to listen to the defence and 10 pass judgment on
its strength.
One of the most ably conducted Of our con-
temporaries. The American Machinist." re
Gently evinced 4 fear that grave injustice was
about TO be done 10 Mr.. Wade and that his
trial would be farce. We feel sure that both
that periodical and others that have entertained
similar misgiyings will now revise their opin-
ions. a division of the responsibility for the
explosion Of one of the Benningtons boilers
hardly points in that direction. Moreover, the
verdicts of courts martial in this country have
as often been criticised for lenency as for Sc
verify. 1t must be remembered moreover, that
no punishment can be imposed on either Com
mander Young or Ensign Wade without Presi-
dent Roosevelt's approval 1t is not credible
that this could be obtained for any measure that
was cruel or unjust

which important colonies might be planted ana
developed, were already pre-empted. There was
nothing left for her but tropical wlldernesses In
which at best she could maintain military posts

4 NATIONAL LINCOLN PARK.

The birthplace of Abraham Lincoln will al
ways have for Americans an interest perhaps
second only to that inspired by the home Of
Washington at Mount Vernon. The suggestion
has frequently been made in recent years that
the Lincoln farm, on which the great Emanci-
pator and President was born, should pass
out OF private possession and be maintained
as a public park. Happily, events have now
made such consummation easy Of accomplish
ment Mr. Robert ]. Collier, of this city, has
bought at court auction the farm near Hodgens-
Vile, La Rue County, KY, on which Abraham
Lincoln first saw the light, and is said to be
willing that it should pass into the hands of
some patriotic society or into the possession of
the government. The farm consists of ITO acres
Of rolling land in a picturesque region of Ken
lucky, and its natural charms as well as its
patriotic associations would make its conver-
sion into park natural and desirable AS Ken
lucky was a border state it was peculiarly
well situated for producing the hero OF the
great civil strife-the President who held two
warning nations in his heart'-and for the
same reason it is peculiarly we'll situated for a
memorial park for an American whose fame is
indssoluby associated with the titanic struggle
between two warning sections now indIssolu-
bly, united.
Mr.. Golfers purchase of the Lincoln farm
it is pleasant to learn proceeded from patriotic
motive, and should he now supplement his
action by offering to dispose of it as suggested,
the offer would in all probability be gladly ac-
cepted. Mr.. Collier however we believe to be
in error in supposing that the log farmhouse
now standing on the farm is the original log
cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born. 1t
does not even stand upon the exact site of the
original house. which-so VISITORS at least, are
usually informed-stood nearer the fine spring
of water that flows out from under q rock at
the head of what is now thcket. Perhaps the
exact site can be determined, and, If so, it
ought to be marked by a monument COM
memorating that fact as. doubtless, in time

WHO is TO BLAME IN LOUISIANA

DR. White. who Is directing the campaign
against yellow fever in Louisiana, betrays Just
Indignation over the imputation that he and his
assistants are prolonging their labors merely
for the sake of winning pecuniary rewards.
This insinuation is an insult not only to the
United States Marine Hospital Service, but also
to the President, to Governor Blanchard, who
appealed to Mr.. Roosevelt for help, and to those
influential citizens of New-Orleans who begged
the State authorities to seek federal aid. Fur
thermore, there has never been the slightest
justification for imputng mercenary motives to
Dr. White or any Of his staff. II they have not
been able thus far entirely to check the spread
of the disease which they are fighting, it Is
because the evil had attained too large pro-
portions before they were permitted to act
and because local physicians are not co-operat-
ing heartily with DR.. White in reporting new
cases.
The outrageous suggestion that yellow fever
would remain in NewOrleans as long as there
was any money left for its suppression is said
to have originated among disciples of DR.. Leach,
the author OF a plan for securing immunity
through the use of arsenic tablets If DR..
Leach himself We're in any way responsible for
the libel, it would hurt him vastly more than
the failure Of his remedy. But no evidence Is
submitted to indicate that he or his followers
are chargeable with the report.
1t is becoming more and more evident every
day that the invasion Of New-Orleans was CO.
temporaneous with the arrival of fruit vessels
from infected Central American ports, those
vessels having been permitted TO pass the quar-
antine station at the mouth Of the river in vio-
lation of established regulations Next fall and
winter, when in consequence of the efforts Of
the United States government and of cold
weather, the progress OF the pest is stayed men
of influence in the Pelican State should get at
the bottom of the matter and initiate such a
radical reform that repetition of this years
experience will ever be possible.
