UNFAIR POLITICS.
Evr since the land fraud invoca
tions begun in Portland there has Wen
an effort on the part of some to eon
nect Senator Fulton with these trail
nitions and the old gang who have Wen
whijiped time and again to a standstill,
and who are doing all in their power to
get once more in the saddle, have left
no stone unturned to accomplish tlii
end. Xow come the report from Port
land emanating from the grand jury and
telegraphed all over the country, a
though a great crime had Wn commit
ted, that lie wrote a letter for one of
the men indicted to the secretary of the
interior, stating that he was an honor
able man and that the claims held by
him under supension be given the at
tention of the department at an early
date. Now what harm is there in this!
M 1M frjepd of the, senator comes to
'm and asks that lie help him git his
matters promptly attended to by the
department, just the same as thousands
of people have done before and will do
hereafter. There is not a day passes
but that Senator Fulton has requests
made from bualne people, qld soldiers,
commercial bodies, etc., asking that he
take ur matters with the authorities
at Washington In which they are in
terested, and if he did not give them
proper attention his stay in Washing
ton would be short, for is he not the
servant of the people!
The latest effort to besmirch Senator
Fulton'a character is probably done to
discredit his influence in Washington in
the matter of the appointment of a

FRANCE IN MORROCCO.
The concessions made bv France to
Germany in Morocco, culminating in a
conference and DelcassV' resignation,
have not availed to prevent the French
government from being drawn by Ger
man policy in North Africa to the very
verge of a military demonstration on
the Algerian frontier, a step whose win
sequence no one can predict.
The one important factor which influ
ences both France and Germany m
Morocco, as Mr. Ion Perdkaris has
jointed out in his article on "The Dis
integration of Moroceo,"in the Inter
national Quarterly," is the possibility
of profits to their citizens in concessions
incident to the developement of a back
ward country. France hoped to monop
olize these concessions, under the agree
ment with Kngland. Germany insist
ed on being recognized, and demanded
an international congress to decide the
future of Morocco.
Were such a conference, as Mr. Per
dicaris has suggested, to assume a cer
tain guardianship over Morocco, making
the ill-governed land a ward among
nations, the world would gain. Nor is
there any reason to prevent the United
States from aiding such a project with
its moral support.
But such a course presupposes that,
pending the conference, no country shall
seek concessions or disturb the exist
ing situation. If F'rance expected this
of Germany it showed a similar want
of knowledge of either German manners
of methods. The German Minister in
Morocco has steadily pushed on. A
German concesion for building a quay
in Tangier greatly needed gives a
German grip on the management of
the trade in the chief Moorish port. A
loan of $2,500,000 to the Sultan, Abdul
Aziz, "personally" gives German con
trol of hi personal revenue and ex
penditure. In this way this is handier
for diplomatic influence ban the loan
of $12, 400,000 made by the French to
the state.
French influence pales before these
steps and the sultan emancipated
from the fear of French and English
by pressure by his German friends, ha
resented the aid many Algerians haw
given the pretender, now in rebellion
against him by seiting the leading
figure among the Algerians in North
Morocco. While this revives a Moorish
claim of sovereignety over all Moslems
by virtue of their religion, it is a gross
violation of French ex-territorial right
and an open and flagrant inult to the
French flag.
Nothing possibly remains for France
but a demand on the Sultan for idem
nity, under ieiialty of occupying by
a military force, a town near
the Algerian frontier, Oudja. The
Moorish government will doubt'
less yield, but the step is an extreme
one, and it bring France accross the
path of Germany, a perilous ttosition,
Turkev will use the influence of the
power to perpetuate his ownj plun
der, oppression and mi-government. I

Until Mayor Weaver shonk on the
-hackles Philadelphia did not govern
itself. It was governed by "the dead
hand," by "sjiantaneoiw generation." by
the hoeuspoeu of political mediums. The
vote of an honest man had just one sixty-thousandths
part of the vote of no
man at all. A queer thing sometimes is
"popular government."

A petition was recently filed in the
probate court in Shelby county, in Mem

ing that he le allowed to change his
name to that of Thomas J. llanim. The
petitioner, who is a native of Denmark,
set forth in his petition to the court
that his name had caused him consid
erable annoyance on more than 1.000
occasions. His feelincs had lieen par
ticularly hurt since the souvenir post
card, bearing portraits of "The Whole
Damm Family," had been phuvd on the
market. The court granted the prayer
of the petitioner and his name was
changed to Ha mm.
