struct an inter-oceanic canal, We asked
Great Britain 70 hslp us out and join
in its construction. We were very will

should come to our aid. but now that
We are rich enough to build the canal
ourselves We find lot Of people who
howl because We propose to make the
canal neutral and insist that it is un-
American to 10 so. They say We should
build the canal and absolutely control
it. We should defy all the maritime
world, and insist, Notwithstanding the
precedent established by Great Britain
with the Suez canal. upon our right to
close the waterway. which. after its
construction, will be of inestimable i'm
portance to the worlds commerce, in
the event Of war. These very people
who are crying out loudly because the
president and such strong democrats
as Morgan Of Alabama would have the
canal neutral, want the United States
to meddle with the Boer war. They
seem to think that we can do anything
we choose with other nations, interfere
with their business whenever we want
to, but no one must say a word TO the
United States. for our government is
infallible. II we are to play the game
of international politics we must play
it according to the rulss. Again, to pre-

No, It win probably turn out on investi-

the humiliation to which Macrum has
subjected this country, whsn the Kru-

government asked our state depart

such British subjects as could not

Secretary Hay voiced the sentiments

he promptly directed Consul Macrum
to act as the custodian OF British in

the young man to act for England as

our recent war. How did the man who

I'm TINE OF PEACE"
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
Less than two years ago sundry and
various English papers commented
scornfully upon the spectacle OF an un-
prepared nation hurrying about the
worlds marts in saach Of munitions
and appliances Of war. The same
papers contrastsd the bungllng un-
readiness OF the United States for the
then inevitable contest with Spain with
the preparedness Of Great and Mighty
Britain FOR any like emerg ncy.
Without assuming knowledge OF the
total result Of General Buffers latest
attack upon the Boer positions, the
question may now be asked without a
tremor OF the voice, Was England well
prepared?
True, In the words Of boastful Brit
ish song, she had the ships, she had
the men and she had the money, too"
But how, in the name Of Laing's Mex
Spionkop, etcetera, have they availed?
Judging preparation by results and
promise by performance, the much
maligned Santiago campaign was a
triumrhal march by the side Of any
thing so far done by the British armies
in the pending South African war.
Within ten days after the landing Of
troops at Dai1uiri, tn two chief outer
defenses Of Santiago had been taken
by assault, and within a fortnight ne
gotlations had baen begun for that
city's surrender.
More than four months have elapsed
since General Butler undertook com
n,and of the English forces in Natal.
He was to have dlned Christmas Day
in Pretoria, but he still fighting on Eng
lish soil, to secure passage toward
the beleagured town OF Ladysmith,
where another presumably equally-pro-
viled English garrison lies benumbed
under Boer fire and camp disease.
With British forces held in helpless
bondage at Mafektng, on the Modder
river and at Kimberley, and British

inferior force on the Tuigela; With ar

THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL

Albert Halstead in Brooklyn Standard
Union.
It appears today rs If the chances for
favorable report on the shipping sub
silly hill from the house committee on
merchant marine and fisheries were
better than had been anticipated. II
has been known that four republican
members OF the committee Were not in
oliued to favor it. These are Stevens
OF Minnesota, Minor OF Wisconsin.
Fordney. OF Michigan. and Jones, OF
Washington. One at least OF these
congressman was influenced by the
wishes OF }. J. Ail, president OF tIe
Great Northern railroad, who year
ago was earnestly favoring the bill, but
who since then has been contracting
for the construction OF vessels for his
Northern steamship line with English
builders because he could get cheaper
terms. Whether these four republicans
viii so to the point OF voting against
the bill when 1t comes to r-porting 1t
frum the committee is not certain; but
it does appear that two democratic
members OF the committee, Chandler
OF New York ana Small Of North Caro-
lima. are favorable to the measure.
This has ereatsd some little surprise.
because it was understood that all the
democrats would antugonize the meas
ure because opposed to the principle
Of subsidies. With these two demo-
cratic votes it viii be easy to report the
bill. and it is expected the measure will
get out of the committee by Tuesday
next So strong is Representative
Chandler said to be in favor OF this
measure that he will make a speech in

from tile senate committee on

has more chance Of baing passed by
