TINE PANAMA CANAL.

Tho decision of the French Government n
prosocute the directors Of the Panama Canal
Compauv has startled the reckless spectators
vbo mismanagcd that il-dircctcd enterprise
co capricous is human fame that the bold pro-
motor who won the title Of The Grand frencn-
man by his triumph over Nature at Suez Is
now compelled in his old age t. face criminal
trial for fraud and embczzlement on tro-
mcndous scale He is not the only well-known
director who will be placed on his defence.
VI EifTcl the builder Of the famous tower, IS
also imDlicated in the scandals connected with
the management Of the Panama Canal although
he boldly asserts his Innocence, and promises
to vindicatc his reputation when ne "a con-
frontod by a public prosecutor. Other prom
incnt capitalists If the directorate Will be IN
cluGcd in what will undoubtedly prove most
sensational criminal trial
The bond. Of the canal enterprise represent
Cd 2 face value Of 1000, 900, for which
saG5 goo 900 was actually received. Con-
sentative experts like Consul-Generl Adam
son az Panama. have estimated that not more
than $4,000. 900 was expended in plant.
buildings and honest work. The balance repre-
scnts waste. It is not probable that cnc-half
of II cvcr reached the lsthmuS. The record Is
4 most appalling one. Justice 10 the share
holders requires a rigorous investigation Of the
mana cement Of the canal at every stage. The
Government. after waiting for 4 long period to
ascertain If the company would be able to re-
sumo work NJ tho ISthmus and 10 command
public confidence. has now taken measures to
redress the wrongs OF the credulous investors.
What bearing these prosecutions VIII have
upon the future Of the enterprise it is perhaps
premature TO consider. The Colombian Gov

DODGING RESPONSIBILITY.

The argument Of "The Ncw-Ycfk Times, =
that The President elect ought not 10 call an
extra session 20 take mp tlIiH Legislation at the
earliest POSSIBLE moment because Mr.. Rcid and
NJ Dcpcw have yIreSscd the opinion that
the logic Of the situation requires il, is neither
digniicd nor forcblc These gentlemen have
been saving. it is true that ia their judg-
mcnt the policy advocated by the Democratic
party would be mschicyDus. So saying and
so believing, THE Times says their acton
in logging the Democrats en- to put their
mischicyous policy in operation has "bchind
it a very petty and mean motive and 4" is
also unpatrotici This is SO tram parent that
"Thc Tines thinks every one sees through
IT," The construction our contemporary puts
upon the attitude Of these gentlemen and those
who concur in their view seems ~ us prcjudiccd
and unfair The great fact b lie considered
is that the party about coming into power j.
committed absolutely to tariff revision. No
matter how much or how little ii may revise
it, il is bound to make changes in the existing
law.
Tn Sc changes must affect the business of
the country one way or the other. There can
be no stability, no surety for any business en-
tcrpriSc existing or contemplated until it is
definitely known what these changes will be-
The condition of uncertainty is the worst thne
possible for the country. Every thinking man
must assent to that proposition. And there is
no intelligent reader Of "Thc Tines who does
not understand that the small politics and near
motives are clearly on the side Of those who
oppose an extra session because it will bring
tho party at once to confront the issue it has
made and compel it to announce clearly and
distinctly its purpose. a great many persons
think that the results Of the policy which the
next Congress is pledged - initiate will be
damaging. But they know that II must come
sooner Or later, and honestly believe that the
sooner it comes, the sooner tho suspense Is
ended and the uncertainty about it over. the

A rampant free trade paper says:
''ln order to develop the mining OF tin
and the Manufacture of tin-plate in
this country. prohibitory tariff was
put on foreign tin, which had the i'm
mediate effect of adding so per cent
to cost of tinware sold in the United
States. Such barefaced solid lies as
this are written and published every
day, when the fact stares the free
trade editor in the face that he can
step out of his sanctum any time of
the day and buy tinware just as cheap
ly as he dida year ago. Then where
is the so per cent addition to the cost
of tinwsref 1t Il, not even in the free

The victory for the Mckinley tariff
act, in the United States supreme
court, is much more comprehensive in
its scope and effect than appeared
from the meagre dispatches of yester-
day afternoon. The law was attack.
ed on three grounds: That the omis-
sion of the tobacco rebate clause in
the enrolment was fatal; that the
reciprocity clause conferred law-mak-
ing powers upon the executive, and
that the sugar bounty was not wer-
ranted by any powers conferred upon
congress. The first objection was too
trifling for serious consideration and
the two great features of reciprocity
retaliation and bounty encouragement
of home production were affirmed.
"McKinleyisin" is standing the test

people believe in it.-Det. Journal.

In the State the first result of the
great Democratic victory of the au-
tumn was the Hill-Tamany theft of
the Senate, and to that the Cleveland
followers made no opposition, but, on
the contrary, acquiesced in and by some
Uf its leaders, commended it. This is
true also of the notorious alliance of
Tanmany Hall with the liquor inter
est. In the view of intelligent Demo
Gratis it is still an open question wheth-
err the Democratic party is mastered
by the worst tendencies In politics;
whether IL Is represented by honest
and reputable citizens or by a horde
of plunderers and corruptionists, the
foes of honest money and of honest
administration. So far as the indie
pendent vote Is concerned, /; seems to
be pretty clear that the Democratic
hold upon it is relaxing, and all the
more that many independent voters,
we think, were grieveously misled in
New York last autumn.-H arper's

The Democratic proposal to put
binding Irvine on the free list is on a
par with the free wool and free silver
policy of the Democracy. The bind
ing Irvine industry is one that con-
sumes 10000 tons of Northwestern
hemp each year, and pays more than

ed to pay foreigners IL cents per 10.
for twine. Now we pay Americans
n cents. Even If you should add the
present duty to the price it would
make difference of only cent per
acre of wheat to the Western farmer.
Free binding Irvine would result in our
paying Glasgow manufacturers their
old tribute. Probably that is why the
Democrats want it.--N. !. Press.
