FRIDAY. NAY II. 1900.
The SENATE and the Canal.


1t has become very evident that Mr. Al
lison was right when he said that General
Morgan did not own the Senate just yet,
That being conceded we desire to ask If the
Senate is owned by Marcus A. Hanna? 1t
would appear so If it should be proven that
twenty-six Democratic Senators were una
bic by united and vigorous action to force
Il vote on the question of considering the
Hepburn Nicaragua Canal bill.
They know that the eyes of the eoun-
try are upon them and that the vast ma
jority Of the American people are de-
manding action. They are perfectly eware
that the game is in their own hands; that
they can force the Mckinley Salisbury
and Panama syndicate managers to submit
10 a vote, with the alternative of remain
ing in session all summer. They are not
ignorant of their power to stop legislation
from this day on until their point is
gained. What are they going to do about
it,
We do not forget that it would sadly
cmbarrass Mr.. Mckinley to have the Hep
burn bill presented to him for his sigma
ture- We have frequently referred TO the
interesting fact that he could not afiix
his name 10 it without breaking faith with
Lord Salisbury and the Panama schemers,
and that he dare not veto it. Is that
any reason why Democratic Senators
should refuse 10 do the will Of the p5O-
pie? Every consideration Of politics or
patriotism warns them to wake up and
get down to hard lighting without more
delay.
The Republican machine managers are
already sending out campaign literature
in which the passage of the Hepburn bill
by the House is claimed as an earnest of
Republican canal policy, and party tri-
umph. Do the Democrats in the Senate in
tend to let that record stand? Have they
lost both sense and courage? Are they.
or some OF them, open to esoteric "infiu-
ence?' The time for effective effort is

1t will not be if the imperial authority

A good saddle horse nowadays must walk trot

TO all horses, so that any ordinarily active horse
can be more or less perfected in them. But rnore

when long journeys had TO be made over roads
which were not much better than trails. Then the
amble was considered desirable and later nueb
pleasanter gait which called the running

progression is secured by the feet on the same
side moving forward at the same time.

Since the Administration cannot induce
Governor Roosevelt to accept a nomination
to the Vice Presidency, it is now announc-
ed that it will utilize his respectability in
having him give a boost to the candidacy
of Long by nominating that naval char
aeter at Philadelphia for the Job which
the Rough Rider has declined without
thanks. We have no doubt that the Gov
ernor viii do himself great credit in the
speech of which he will relieve himself on
the occasion. Beyond question his cham
pionship will settle the question to the en-
tire satisfaction of all concerned. Mr.
Long is the logical running mate. He has
not the personal force that Taylor, of Ken
lucky. or Eagan. Of Hawaii, would add to
the ticket; but il would be scant courtesy
to Mr.. Mckinley to associate him with
any positive character. 1t would look too
much like personal reflection.
