mayor of Tracy; has recommended tc
the city council the adoption of a city
ordinance prohibiting the use of

The House..

Washington, May g For the first
time during the fifty years of agita-
ton Of the project Of the construction
Of an interoceanic canal the house OF
representatives yesterday entered upon
the consideration Of measure TO
actually authorize the building OF a
canal Many times propositions bear
ing upon the subject have been be-
fore the house. but this was the first
time positive action can be predicted.
The bill will be voted upon before ad-
,iournment to-day. The debate yes
ferday was memorable because OF the
unexpected powerful opposition it de-
yeloped. Mr.. Burton of Ohio. chair
man Of the rivers and harbors COM
mittee: Mr.. Hit Of Illinois, chairman
of the foreign affairs committee, threw
the weight of their influence AGAINST
it. not because they are opposed to the
building of the canal but because they
considered the time for; authorizing its
construction was not ripe. Mr.. Bur-
ton and ME-. Hit contended the bill
would violate the sClaytonFB ulWer
treaty. which guarantees the neutral
ity of the canal. and Mr.. Cannon
quoted Admiral Walker, chairman or
the isthmian canal commission, as
saving that the commission was not
vet prepared to say which was the
best route. Mr.. Cannon contended that
the authorization of the construction
of the canal over the Nicara guam route
at this time would delay its building
for years and cost the government
$50, 100000. The, debate also devel-
oped other lines Of opposition. Some
of the Democrats insist that the
amendments striking the words "de-
fend' and 'fortifica tons" from the
bill are designed to make 1t harmon

LIncnIn.s onhand Why.

In 1861, when Mr.. Lincoln was on his
way to Washington to be inaugurated
as president his train stopped at Roch
ester, Pa. station on the Pittsburg
Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad. Mr..
Lincoln aligbted from the car to stretch
his long limbs by walking on the sta
ton platform His identity became
known 10 the townspeople assembled
there. and friendly conversation with
him ensued
In reply to reference to the threat
ening political outlook he said. "Oh, no
one has been hurt yet"
Seeing tall man in the crowd, Mr.
Lincoln remarked that he and the man
were Of about the same height and pro
posed that they measure. They took off
their hats and stood together, back to
back. while some one placed n hand
above their heads and found Mr.. Lin
coin to be slightly the taller.

The Louisville Courier-Journal has
evidently learned some lessons from
past experience, and recent issue
contained this: There is an extensive
opinion that the Republicans will do
all that is necessary TO bring about
their own destruction. But II the Re-
publicans should disappoint these ex-
pectatious, il their administration
should meet and solve the problems,
then the Democrats would be hopeless
through mere opposition. Their one
chance-and 1t is great chance-is to
put aside the small tactics of ranging
themselves on one side OF question
simply because the Republicans have
taken the other side, send TO the gar
ret all the rubbish of undemocratic
and dead issues and come forward to
the solution OF the living problems OF
the time IN spirit directed to the
best interests OF the nation, with the
breadth to agree with their opponents,
should the opponents do what is best,
and the assertion of an ability to do it
themselves--the power being given
them-when the Republicans fail or
refuse TO do it,
