The Panama Canal.

The building of the Panama canal was nm
dertaken by purely private company. The
French government disayowed at the star,
any connection with it or any intention to
become connected with it, Without this dis
avowal on the part of France the United
States would never have consented to the De
Lesseps Company beginning the work. 1t was
made known to France in terms which could
not be misunderstood, by three American
Secretaries OF State that the United States
would look with disfavor on any act on the
part of her government that should tend to
create necessity, or furnish pretext for
the establishment, at any time in the future
OF French protectorate In Central Ameri
ca. Should the French government build
the canal, or should it stand behind De Les
seps's enterprise, it was clearly foreseen by
these American Secretaries of State that an
emergency might arise where the French
government would feel bound to protect or
defend the canal, and in so doing would have
to establish its power on this continent, and
so they took great pains to secure from that
government a distinct and anequiyocal dis
avowal Of any intention to in any way iden-
tify itself with the canal enterprise.
Up to the present time France has lived up
to that disavowal, But the time is close at
hand when tremendous pressure is to be
put upon it to force 1t into some sort of con-
nection with the enterprise. The effect of

Manitoba Wins.

The announcement is made that the Su-
preme Court Of Canada has finally settled
the railway trouble that threatened to en-
broil Manitoba with the Dominion govern
ment. The people of Manitoba, not wishing
to be at the mercy Of the Canadian Pacific
monopoly, attempted to build line of railway
along the Red River of the North and across
the Northern boundary of the United States
to connect Winnipeg with the Northern
Pacific. The Canadian Pacific, not liking
the prospect of losing their monopoly of the
Manitoba freight business, resisted the plan
OF the Manitoba legislature and enlisted on
Its side the executive department of the
Dominion Government The strife became
so hot that armed men were called out
on both sides. and a few weeks ago
Dloodshed seemed imminent. The case was,
however. sent to the Supreme Court of the
Dominion, where it wss amicably discussed
by learned counsel on both sides. The result
is complete victory for Manitoba and the
utter destruction of the monopoly which the
Canadian Pacific has been enjoying. The
railway to the United States will be built.
and Manitoba wheat will roll To- market over
the route that will carry it for the cheaper
rates. The decision is somewhat of a sur
prise in Canada. Sir john MacDunald's
government has been the steady ally of the
Canadian Pacific Railway but the judicial
department of the Dominion government, if
it has shared the prejudices of the execu-
tive branch at all, has not allowed them to
swerve it in its decision. The decision has
also an important bearing ON the relations of
the Provincial governments TO the central
government 1t is notable vindication of
Provincial rights as opposed to Dominion
rights. The Liberal party of Canada is in
ciine1 to hail it as marking another era in
struggle for Provincial rights which has been
going on since 1867. The Conservatives. ON
the other hand, affect to see in it complete
vindcation of the policy the Dominion gov
eminent has been pursuing, though how
they arrive at this conclusion it is difficult to
see.

the De Lesseps failure has been widespread
In France. The losers are not few big cap
italists, but thousands and tens Of thousands
of people of small means, whose faith in De
Lesseps induced them to buy with their saw
ings shares in his great work. These
small holders are scattered all over France
and the ultimate failure of the enterprise
means losses to them which they cannot af-
ford to bear France is Republic and the
people are influential. And all of these peo-
pie win have the strongest kind Of personal
motive to urge the government to take hold
of this enterprise and save it from ruin and
themselves from serious loss, and an agita-
tion is pretty certain to be begun looking to
that end. Senator Edmunds's resolution ill.,
troduced into the Senate looking to reas-
sertion of the Monroe doctrine is therefore
exceedingly timely.
