THE Hutchinson DAILY speaking of
the Nicaragua Canal Bill editorially
says that 1t will be opposed by those
interested in the Panama enterprise
and "will employ their well known
tactics which include the use of money
stock, contracts and other induce.
ments.'" 1t sounds very queer for a
republican paper Of tie lingo sort, like
the News, to talk about money, stock,
contracts and other Inducements {"
being used on q republican Congress
1t simply means that after the heat of
a campaign the use they have made Of
populist boodling stories is forgotten
and they realize that personal honesty
is not to be measured by party afliia-
tions. There is this however to be
considered in this matter. Populists
are on record as one of their party
tenets that they are in favor of public
construction and ownership in all such
enterprises as the Nicaragua Canal and

would Immediately become an object
OF suspicion. But republican whose
general party tenetS are that nothing
should be done by the government that
a corporation wants TO do, would not
subject himself to such suspicion by
voting against it unless we should take

authority. This Spectacle of the re-
publican party championing govern
