OUR TROOPS AT PANAMA.

On Friday United States troops entered
the city Of Panama, drove cut the insur-
gents, and took possession of the streets
and public avenues. There was no
reason for surprising that the act
will involve Us in any complica-
tions with the Colombian Government. By
srcaty with New Granada. to which the
United States of Colombia succeeded, we
are not only privileged, but bound to pro-
tect the transit route whenever the local
authorities are unable to do 50. Panama
IS one of the terminal points Of the route
With that city in the possession of insur-
gents, neither passengers nor freight can
safely lie transferred to or from ship or
rail. The insurgents were in possession of
the city, and learning of the approach of
Colombian troops, had barricaded the
streets and prepared for battle. In the
event of 4 conflict Americans and their
property must suffer severely, for the
larger part Of the commercial business
Of Panama is transacted by American
houses there located The night previous
to our marines taking the city the insur-
gents had fired upon our pickctS on the
line Of the Panama Railroad, Just south Of
the city. This may have more speedily
determined the action Of the American
commander bat even without that it
would seem to have been his duty
to do As he did do. His act
was conservative of peace, aud in no
sense can be dcmurrcd to by the Panama
authorities or the Colombian Government.
successor under the treaty to the preceding
Government. We occupied Panama, there
fore, not agressively, but in pursuance of a
policy Of peace and protection to citizens
of the United States, cnioined upon Us by
the treaty Of 1876 and which treaty ante
dates the Clayton Bulwcr convention by
more than four years The act. therefore,
could not be taken exceptions to by England.
Il was an act, to certain extent to her
advantage, since it assures the protection
also Of her Subjects in Panama and their
property. We cannot see, therefore. how
any complications can arise out Of it, or
how ii can he claimed to be in lurtherance
OF any ambition on our part to secure a
frmer footing upon the Isthmus. 1t Ger

ABOUT CENTs.-There is no nickel in a
cent-piece. The alloy used in making
that coin is composed of ninety-fve per
cent. of copper and five per cent of tin
and zinc. Its intrinsic value is about one
tenth of a cent. The report that counter
feits are in circulation is doubted. as the
profits would be small The old penny
was made Of pure copper and was intrinsi-
cally worth one-third Of cent. An at
tempt at counterfeiting them was once
made The frauds were manufactured at
Birmingham, England. Bat the same
cause made that enterprise failure. 1t
needed too many to make profit Of any
amount.

Government against the protection that is
their due being withdrawn, and in the
light of present information their protest
would appear to have very broad grounds
for its indignation. We must assume that
the Washington Government is acting ac-
cording to the law of the case as there
understood, but if Americans are killed or
the property of Americans destroyed by
the miserable, half-clad, half-breed rebels
now holding high carnival in the City of
Panama, the Government at Washington
will, we fear, find it difficult to maintain
the justice of the assumption that must be
conceded for the present.

Destructive Confiagration.

TEMPERANCE IN RUssIA.-The Russians,
in their anxiety to diminish the consump-
ton of spirits, are proposing to reduce the
duty on beer, and are vehemently opposing
the recent proposal of the Russian Minister
of Finance to raise the import duty on tea.
The Moscow Gazette ridiculcs the idea that
tea should be regarded as al article dc haze
in Russia, where, even among the poorest
classes, tea is the only beverage that both
saves the people from the evil effects of
drinking impure water. and greatly reduces
the consumption of alcoholic drinks. 1t is
pointed out that if the duty is raised SNUG
Cling will be carried on to a much greater
extent, and public health will suffer by
adulteration. In support of this statement
that tea is the chief drink amoogall classes
in Russia. the Moscow Gazette publishes
statistics furnished by experts engaged in
the tea trade with China, according to
which Russia consumes go per cent. more
tea than England-[Chicago Tribune.

THE HEATH AMENDMENT DECISION.

Now that the Supreme Court has decided
that for special submission of the Heath
constitutional amendment, law APP
proved by the Governor is necessary, it is
10 be hoped that those who have been
striving to awaken hostile feelings, and
have been diligent in assuming positions
for the railroad companies of the State re-
garding the matter, will be satisfied We
do not recall that railroad operators have
expressed themselves as much interested
in the matter as to when the amendment
should be submitted The railroad people
have certainly manifested no special
opposition to or especially strong afirma-
tive interest in Il matter which large
majority of the Legislature deemed wise
action Common justice should secure to
such corporations fair credit for their posi-
tons. Probably the railroad mana
gers hold divided opinions on the
questions of the wisest methods of taxing
railroad property, but it is certain that
none Of them have ever justified the absurd
EXPLANATIONS that they wished to shirk
their just share of the burden of maintain
ing the government. 1t has been favorite
cry with the radical anti-railroad people
that railroads wished to avoid any pay
ment of taxes. But the fact is, ard the
records make it clear, that the contests on
this question have not arisen out of de-
sire to avoid, but out of that spirit of fair
play which should command respect
wherever found. In fact, the railroad
companies, as we understand it, went a
great deal further than any other record
of litigation di5closes, in offering to pay the
taxes, no matter what the result of the
litigation, but they were not even accorded
the credit due for that offer The decision
regarding the submission of the Heath
amendment affords extremists brief
opportunity 10 reyamp old hates, but be-
yond this it has not appeared that the
railroad corporations are particularly con-
cerned about it

IT is gratifying to learn that the State of
New York is very likely to enact into law
the bill to reserve grounds next the Falls
of Niagara sufficient to remove from that
sublime spectacle the iacongruitieS of shop
and tent and hucksters booth, peanut
stand and beer bar. The real marvel is
how such State should have so long sub
mittcd, as New York has, to the desecra-
ton of one Of the finest natural scenes upon
the face Of the globe. To reserve the pro-
posed park and condemn the necessary
grounds will cost New York round sum,
