THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY. MARCH 2. 1820 BLAINE AND BISMARCK. There being no longer & question that Mr. Blaine will be secretary of state under the next administration, future negotiations between the govern- ment of the United States and the gov- ernment of Germiny regarling the Samonn issue will be carried on under the direction of Blame and Bismarck, It is therefore a matter of interest to recall the views of the former regard- ing American policy with respect to the islands of the pference having already been upon bo- tween the two governments, in contin- uation of that held in Washington 1 1887, to meet in Berlin, that arrange- ment will doubtless be carried out by the new sdministration, to which the present administration hasdeferrved the duty of appointing a representative of this government. That representative will instructions from Mr, Blaine, and thero 1 be no doubt that they will be in part to firmly resist every effort or scheme of rmany to obtain control of the Samoau isiands. The ground for this belief s found in the position of Mr. Blaine when he was secretary of state in the Garfield administration relative to the Hawaiian islands. He then main- tained that the policy of the United States with respect to the Pacific ocean was essentially the same as the policy that had been pursued with re- spect to the Atlantic, and has peen re- ported recently to have expressed him- self regarding the Samoan question in terms showing that he has not changed from his attitude of eight yearsago. Assuming that General Harvison isin sympathy with this view, and there is no ronson to doubt it, Bismarck will find in the next American secretary of state a determined opponent of any ef- fort Germany may make to interfere with the wdependence and authority of Sumoa. Meanwhile indications of Bismarck’s purpose to severely punish the Samoans for what they have done in defeuse of their territory against German invasion, and perhaps incidentally to strengthen German power in the islands, are not wanting. The tone of the semi-officinl German organs, and the intelligence received from other sources, permit lit- tle doubt that the German government contemplates, if it has not already taken measures to carry out summary action in dealing with the Samoans, ostensibly by way of punishment, but really to gain a more extended and se- cure foothold. The killing of a few marines is not an affair about which Bismarck would be deeply concerned on the score of vengeance alone, but in this case 1t can be made a convenient pretext for putting into effecta policy pretty plainly defined by the whole course of Germany in Samon. Tt will be the task of the next secro- tary of state to thwart this policy, and the Samoan issue will doubtless be the first international question to which the next administeation will address its at- tention. There need be no apprehen- sion that the interests and rights of tho United States will not be wisely and firmly maintained. receive PROVIDING FOR MORE It has been remarked that Mr. William Springer’s temperament 1s as elastic as his political conscience. Hav- ing become somewhat identified with the business of creating new states, by virtue of his position as chairman of the house committee on territories, and knowing that his opportunity for further usefulness in this line is about at an end, Mr, Springer appears to have determined to improve the last chance to associate his name with measures to admit all the territories except Utah, and it is somewhat surprising that he did not include that territory in his bill introduced a few days ago providing for the admission next year of Arizona, Idaho and Wyoming, If it was not a political reason—and that is the most potentof all reasons with Mr. Springer—that led him to introduce this indefensible measure, it is impossible to conceive upon what grounds he could justify it. It isnot possible that any one of these territories will have asuflicient population a year hence to entitle it to statehood, while as to Avizona and Idaho, it is not probable that they will be eligible five years from now. These two torritories have a present population of between fifty and sixty thousand each, Arizona being a little in the lead, or about one- third the ratio of vepresentation in con- gress, and their growth is slow. Under the most favorable conditions that can be thought probable, neither of them is likely to have to exceed seventy-five thousand population at the next census, and the apportionment for representa- tion under that census will doubtless be not less than two hundred thousand. Wyoming presents a somewhat better case, but unless she should have a most remarkable and unexpected increase her population at the next census wiil not exceed one hundred and twenty thousand, or eighty thousand less than the probable new ratio of representa- tion. The absurdity of proposing to create states of these territories a year ence is obvious, The lesson presented by Nevada is one that is pretty cortain to deter con- gress from any future blunder in mal- ing states out of territories that have not suflicient population to entitle them to statehood, and are lack- ing in the conditions to at- tract population. If this desson be heeded the next generation may find Arizena still a terrvitory, for her con- ditions ave not very much superior to those of Nevada, and it is not likely that Idaho can present a fair claim to statehood within the next ten years. The outlook for Wyoming is more promising, and her admission before the close of Harrison's administration is not unlikely. Of course nothing will be done by the present congress with Mr. Springer’s bill, or with that of the New Mexico delegate for the admission of that territory with its mongrel popu- lation, and the next congress can be safely trusted not to r ¢ them. ————— THE British governisent has ap- pointed Sir Julian Pauncefool to suec- ceed Sackvil g-West as minister to the United States. When it was stated some tine ago thut Puuucefoot was likely to be appointed it was also said that the understood intention of the government was adversely commented on in English diplomatic circles, owing to the fact that Sir Julian had always been merely an attacho of the British foreigmoffice, with noactual experience in diplomacy, though possessing a very thorough knowledge of international law. Objection was also made on the ground that his appointment would be an innovation on the system of appointing forelgn ministers, since it would promote him over men older and higher in the ic service. In view of all this setion of Pauncefoot cannot be regarded as altogether complimentary to the United States, though this is a matter about which we can afford to be entirely indifferent. If the now sentative af Her Majesty's governmont is a gentleman and will attend strictly to his own business, he is cortain to be more acceptable than his morally blem- ished and ind sot predecessor. Tire Omaha police force appears to be divided into silent factions concerning the pension bill now before the legisin- ture. The members fail to approciate and applaud the generows efforts of the cominission to hushand a surplus for old age, and provide means to alleviate the wounds contracted in live of duty, No objection would be made if the city pro- vided the fund, but *‘the finest” cannot comprehend the benevolent features of stem for which they furnish the means, nor the unselfish efforts of the men who will handle the funds.

Six justices are ample for all legitimate litigation. By reduc- ing the number the income of each will be large enough to secure to our citizens the services of lawyers who enjoy the respect and confidence of the community.

The employment of a stenographer for the city clerk’s office is additional proof that reform and cconomy are the wedded watchwords of the council. The new position fills a long felt want. The over burdened city clerk and careworn deputies will be relieved of the onerous duties which confined them within doors for three or four hours each day. Tt will enable them to woo the blooin of youth with outdoor life, and culti- vate a profound indifference tu the wants of inquisitive visitors. The short hand method of reaching the city treasury will alsobe improved and sim- plified by the new clerk. TuiEe destruction of the new reduction works at Deadwood by fire is a serious blow to the mining interests of the Black Hills, The plant had been in operation but a few months, and was constructed of the most inflammable material, The lesson of the fire isa costly one, but it cannot fail of good r sults, The wori will doubtless ba 1 constructed on a broader and more se- cur foundation, and of material reusonubly fire-proof Tue bill requiring a three-fifths vote to change the location of a county seat isagood one and should be passed by the legislature, County seat fights have done more than any other agency to retard the growth and settlemont of the western half of the state.

The disclosures in the Parnell investiga tion Lave boen the all-engrossing topic of interest in the late English news, and the vindication of the great Irish leader has been received on this side of the Atlantic with every evidenoo of gratification. The result is not merely & signal triumph for Parnell, but it is also a most important gain to the cause he champions, In strengthening and elevating the leader in the contidence and re. spect of the world the cause grows with him, and everywhere, even in England, it is stronger to-day than ever before. The hu miliation of the great tory organ, which len itself to the forgers and perjurers is neces v shared by all who sympathized with and the entire tory government is com- promised as a party to this whole disgraceful and dishonorable business. It would seem impossiblo that the popular sense of fairness among Englishmen can lail to olt against such an obvious conspiracy and to repudiate all who are in any measure ccnnected with it. The tendency of the exposure of the con spiracy, which cannot be con- cealed or explained away, must be to increase the dissatisfac- tion that has been growing inside the con- servative party, and which is beginning to mako itself manifest. With Balfourism and Parnell persecution to defend, the tory gov- ernment has a task of great and augmenting dificulties, and there is reason to believe that it will not so easily in the future as in the past hold its forces together, Could a gencral election be held at once there is hardly a doubt that on the new register Mr Gladstone would get a majority, and a con- tinuance of the tory policy will render such a result more certain in the future. The tories may, with a view to saving themselves from impending doom, offer some kind of Irish self-government, but this would hardly save them. It would be a confession of the wrong they have 8o long maintai which might ratker hasten thun vetara th down fall.

The Cossack adventurer is a fanatic who, with his followers, seems to have been carried away with the idea of bringing the ecclesi- astical establishment of King John over into the Greek caurch, to whica 1t is allied. Coupled with this had been the desire to found a colony. Had Atchiuoff chosen to comply with the French regulations, no doubt his settlement at Sagallo wotlld have Dbeen sanctioned, or at least not interfered with. But that would have beeu to seerifice his own ambitious sspirations.

Lamb, Rickots and Wilson appearing for the plain i, and B. 1>, Waggener, of At chison, Kan., and Mr. A. R. Talvot for tho road. The land was taken for right-of-way, when the road came mto Lincoin, in the year 1585, There has been considerablo litigation aud the sceming cross-purposcs of state and federal jurisdiction come into play, When the suit was commenced it was removed to the tederal court, to which the plaintiff ex cepted and took the matter-into the supreme court of the staw, which tribunal stripping the controversy of somo of its facilitics, by mandate, sent the case back to this court for tral on the question of damages. In the meantime there haa been a long trial in the circuit court of the United States, at a term held in Lincoln, and vordict and judg- ment had for the plaintiff, This judgment the defendant paid into court, having also previously paid into the county court of Lan- caster county the amount for which the land was condemned, but the plaintiff by writ of crror carricd the cause into tha supreme court of the United States. Thus stands the matter as the ease comes on for wial here, The plaintiff claims at least §1,000 to §1,200 for each acre of land taken, damago to the remainder and interest, in all bout £16,000. The defeudant does not scem to con sider that the land, for the purposes for which it was used at the time of taking, and without reference to its prospective valie as asuburb of Lincoln, was worth more thun from $200 to $500 pe to the remaining se building of the road as enhanciug it rather than otherwise. The trial is not likely to be ended before some time to-mor- row, this atternoon having just begun to iu- troduce testimony. Misrepresentations Rebuked. It has been currently rumored at the cap tol and on the streets of Lincoln that Ra som's valued policy bill, so bitterly fought by the insurance lobby, and which recent passed both houses of tae general wbi would be vetoed by the governo: Th rumors have been so emphatic that Tue By representative sought to know the truth about the matter to.day, and finds that they are without shadow of foundation. It is clearly upparent that these stories have been put in eirculation by enemics of the gov- ernor without regard for truth or decency. Tue governor has not expressed himself on the question, for or agaimst the bill, to any one, but he pointedly states that he will not be unmind. ful of the majority vote the bill received when it was put upon its final passage, when the time comes for his siguature which shail make the bill a law. The governor's friends are indignant over the unkind thrusts he has been subjected to, and they have not been slow to express themselves regarding the matter. It is enough to know that the walued policy bill will not bo grossly mutilated when it passes from tha governor's hands, City News aud Notes. The funeral of Harry R. Corley, who died t Tuesday, will take place Saturday at Bo'clock. The services were postponed from yosterday on account of the mability of his father to reach him.
