THE fate of the Panama Canal shows
that, although money is the first requi-
site in engineering works, there are
other requisites. 1t is almost impossi-
BILE 10 say what the ultimate fate, of the
Panama project will be, but IL is quite
possible that the Commission now sent
out to examine the canal as far as it is
made, and TO report on the feasibility
of its completion, may advise that the
original design might be realized, and
it is just possible that France might
raise the necessary mouey but, consid-
ering that the preliminary work of the
Nicaragua Canal is now we'll In hand,
it does DOT appear likely.

THE owners of the silver mines in
the West want the Government to keep
up the price of silver by buving up a
large amount every month and holding
it. On the same principleis would be a
good idea for the Government to buy
up all the surplus wheat, corn and
other farm products, thereby prevent
ing the price from going down and
maintaining a fixed price for all the
marketable produce Of large class OF
its best citizens, The farmers are now
taxed to keep up the miners and manu>
fscturers and why not tax che mixers
and manufacturers to keep up the
farmers. Then, working on the same
theory, if the Government would give
bounty to every consumer it would
equaliZe taxation and make us all rich.
But for some reason protection does not
work on general principles and the more
you examine into it the worse il appears.
To protect one class you must rob many,
and when you attempt to apply protec-
tion's beni6cent principles to the masses
who deserve protection you cannot do
it for the reason that some class must
be robbed, and to attempt to rob the
few for the benefit Of the many, The few
would soon fail, and there would be
none left to steal from. The farmers
are too numerous for the Government
TO undertake TO raise them with a bot
tie and as consequences, are weaned
early and left to take care OF them
selves. They have submitted long and
patiently to the protection theory but
they will eventually learn that they can
be robbed in other ways than that OF
being knocked down with a club and
having their pocket books taken.

Tho town OF Wellsburg is all torn up

involved the good name and fair rcputo
Of several well known people whose
characters are said to be above reproach;

they were traced down to this particular
woman.
One OF her stories affected tho good

ayounger sister she went to the room Of
the woman she wanted, stepped in
quietly, locked the door, stated her
errand and then pitched in.
The first blow sent the gossiper Of her
chair and under sewing machine, and
then there was picnic. The miss Of IS
threw herself on her dciamcr and held
her down while she pounded her and
pulled her hair. The woman howled for
help, and one Of the police officers OF the
town hearing the racket buried to the
scene. He found the door locked,
but as the tumult inside increased
he finally adopted heroic course and
smashed the door in. AS he did this the
young girl her eyes ailame with the ex-
citement Of her victory, jumped up and
handing the officer a $40 bill, aaid
"rhis will pay my iine-1 fixed myself

punishment inflicted by the girl on tho
woman was quite severe.
