THAT PANAMA FplSODE

Insults to the American flag and
American citlzons tor tho past 10 yoars
have been 50 common and so often
passed without resentment by the gov
ernment that every power on earth, big
or little, fancy they have a halfway
right to bully us TO their hoart's con-
tent. Tho episode at Panama few
days since was but one of many similar
ones. If thoro Is any difference it is in
the fact that this last one, though com.
mitted by irresponsible insurgents, was
the most aggravated OF ALL 1t passes
understanding that n lot of rebols on
the isthmus would soiao vessel aud
imprison consul and naval lieutenant
of the great United States OF the north!
But IL was done with all the holiness
and apparent contempt of fear that
might characterize the Russian govern
mon. in dealing with camp of Esqu-
mauX.
But stranger still is the fact that an
American war vessel in tho harbor and
abreast of tho town should witness such
an outrage upon American citizens and
property and honor aud never even
entor protest, much less fire q gun. II
Is an open secret that our navy has do
cayod, but II was reserved for this at-
fair TO disclose tho further tact that
Amoricanmanhood haddegeneratod 90.
Tho commander of that war vessel
ought to have dress and apron
placed upon him and DO set to waiting
on the table in some cheap restaurant
in Washington.
While the conduct of the commander,
in the light of the facts now known, was
ineXcusable and despicabe, the con-
duct of tho now administration is ener-
getic and oommendable. MEssRs. BAY
ARD and WHITNEY seem determined to
get at tho facts and do all that does be-
come tho nation in the premises.
The United States of Colombia are
bound to protect the persons and prop
erty of foreigners within tho country
and are legally responsible in damages
for violations to either. But claim
against Colombia isn't worth the paper
tits written on and, besides, money does
not wipe out an armed assault upon the
flag and accredited officers of country.
The new administration has golden
opportunity to emphasize the fact to the
world that the Republican party is no
longer in control ofour government and
this can only be done by an energetic
rebuke by force and arms of these high
handed Panama insurgents. 1t is safe
to assume that the present ministry at
Washington will rise equal to the occa.

PARTlSANS TO THE END.

The unpstriotlc, partisan malice of
the Republican party is cropping out,
as might have been expected, in the ac-
ton Of Republican senator's in their
caucus of Tuesday evening. OF course,
appointments by tho president are sub.
iect to senatorial confirmation. Tho
senate eau, II it see fit, refuse to confirm
executive appointments, and so hold in
power the present Republican employees.
In caucus, we are told, it was deter.
mined not TO allow any moro removals
in eNeou tive offices whose tenure is
fixed by law, unless cause Is shown for
the removal.
Tho people of the United States, last
fall, by tremendous majority, repudl-
ated the Republican and chose tho DEM
ocratic party to administer tho affairs of
this government. Tho Democracy,
therefore, is entitled to all the execu
tive machinery, It is it's for four
years by 81 # of the people, and to the
people it is alone responsible. TO
manipulate that machinery upon bust
ness principles, It is entitled TO the
control of all its parts, When the Re-
publican senate negatives the purpose
OF tho people, and says % the Republi.
can office holders hey have nothing TO
fear from Democratic chiefs, it simply
creatos an impudont lnsubordinstlon,
