4 SERIOUS AFFAIR At PANAMA..

Heretofore protection and control of the
interoceanc transit at the Isthmus of Pan
ANA has been a question in allegiance. Now,
however, the civil troubles in the State of
Panama bring the whole matter prominently
forward and Admiral Almy of the United
States Navy has taken the responsibility of
protecting and controlling the highway from
ocean to ocean, in behalf of the Government
of the United States. Has he any right 10 do
thisY
The duty of our Government to exercise
armed protection over the transit springs from
treaty obligations contracted with the Repub-
lie of New Granada as long ago as 1916. By
Articles w., ", and vi. of the Treaty of
that wear, certain concessions were made by
New-Granada to the United States in the
matter of tonnage dues, reciprocity of trade,
and amelioration of customs dues. BY another
provision, New-Granada guaranteed to the
citizens of the United States absolute freedom
from all tolls and restrictions on transit
across the Isthmus, except such as might be
levied upon citizens of New-Granada. On
their part, the United States in return for such
advantages, "and for the favOrs they acquired
" by the WITH, Vth, and With Articles of said
Treaty" guaranteed the perfect neutrality
of the Isthmus, with the view that the free
transit from the one to the other sea may
mot be interrupted or embarrassed In any
future time while said Treaty exists; and, IN
consequence, the United States also guaran-
tee, in the same manner, the rights OF sove-
"reignv and property which New-Granada
has and possesses over said territory" Ii
always has been inferred that this provision OF
the Treaty of 1916 gave the United States the
right and duty to protect the Isthmus transit
when New-Granada, from any cause, shonld
fail to exercise such protection.
This Treaty was made binding for twenty
wears from date; but it was terminable at any
time thereafter by either party, on giving
twelve months notice. No such notice has
ever been given aud the agreement is still
considered binding. In 1857 Now-Grsnada. by

fun/r m NoHTTEfG m EVlIfJD,

Judge Alexander McCue of Brooklyn, un-
happily for his reputation, has been mixed mp
lately with City Treasurer Sprague, M. i.
Rodman, the late f.. S. Mills, and men OF
like character in various financial trans
actions. And though he does not appear to
have shared in their illegal transactions, he
has naturally Loaf some character-or at least
thinks he has-by the association. TIE TRIBUNE
found it necessary, in exposing the mlsdeeds
of the Others to criticise tho pubic ana
official acts of Judge McCue and 1t still
thinks the Judge was less harmed by our
criticisms than by his own conduct.
Judge McCue is now seeking TO regain some
of his lost character. and has applied to the
Grand Jury for it, lie appears to think that
TO get The TRIBUNE or somebody connected
with il indicted for an error i'll the pnblca-
ton of some minor point will disprOye all
the truth which has been told. He tried it
with the last Grand Jury. and signaly failed
Now he Is trying it with the present Grand
Jury of Kings County, and is using all the
machinery of the District-AttOrney' office to
carry out his deSign. DistriCt-Attorney
Britton himself conducts the inquiry
with such transparent zeal for Judge
McCue that one wonders whether
he acts for the people or the Judge.
Yesterday he devoted his best energies
to endeavoring to force one of the sub
ordnates of this Office to disclose the author
ship of editorial articles in THE TRIBUNE, but
the witness showed his contempt for such
proceedings by refusing to answer what we
look upon as impairment and unjusttable
questions. 1t is not the business of Grand
Jury to pry into our private concerns,
or to indulge their curiosity about the
writers of what we publish on our own
responsibility. Neither il it their special
province to lend themselves TO the pur-
poses of Judge McCue. He has made it
his part to proclaim, in print and ont of
print, his intention to ndict THE TRIBUNE. He
had precisely the same witnesses and the same
evidence before the last Grand Jury, and it re-
fused to indct anybody. Even if he should
find the present one more compliant, his method
of indicating himself will hardly restore him
the character which was lost to him through no
newspapers exposure so much as by his own
conduct.

very far from right in its leading idea that
crime is decreased by increasing the severity
Of oenalties. Ii has, doubtless. effected great
deal of good mainly through the collateral dis
cussion which il has melted. The idea, even
IL il had not been embodied in statute would

Mr.. John Foley has renewed his attack upon
the Controller, while Mr.. Dexter A. Hawkins
and ex-Mayor Tiemann have both published
letters in Mr.. Green's defense. The point of
the controversy now seems to be whether
Controller Green was justified in sending a
lobby agent to Albany to represent what he
Judged to be the interests of the city in the
debates upon the new charter, and in paving
him out of the public funds. Mr.. Hawkins.
who received large fee for his services in
influencing legislation at that time, of course
believes that his employment was perfectly
justiiiable, and his work dirt cheap at the
price; and Mr.. Tiemann, who describes the
opposition to the charter, in metaphorical
terms, AZ defense against holders of corr,lpt
demands against the city, which "Tweed
"Sweeny, Connolly, and Hall had aided in

that the Controller was bound to employ conn

Our own attitude in relation To the charter

the instrument as originally presented NV the

door to enormous frauds, and il was great
