IsTHMIAN CANAL COMMISSION.

The report of the Walker Isthmian
canal commission, which was submitted
to congress a week ago, is very exbars-

route which will cost 5000, $40, 900, as
compared with S142, 342, $40 for the Pan

STAY WITH YOUR PARTY.

Philipsburg Mail: In speaking of F.
Aug. Heinze's candidacy for the United
States senatorship, the Butte Inter
Mountain says
1.-The Independent endeavors to retain
Mr.. Heinze's good will by telling him
that all he has to do is to wait patiently,
keep on helping the democrats to fill the
o$4ces, and that four years from now
the republicans will fall over each other
begging him to accept a senatorial
toga.'
There is a moral concealed in this
little paragraph that applies to the case
of every would-be republican who as
sisted in electing democrats to office.
Before election they We're ostensibly de-
Tending certain principles, and for
valued support given the democratic
ticket were patted on the back by the
democratic managers. They were nice
fellows then and veritable heroes in the
eyes of the democrats. This was before
election. After election, however, the
situation is somewhat changed. 1t has
been discovered that these very fellows
who were SO very nice before election are
republicans, and it would certainly be
most inconsistent for a democrat (after
he is elected) to consider, even for a mo-
ment, the candidacy of any man
whether he is a republican, was a repuD-
lican, or only pretended to be one. He
must look to the republicans if he would
hope to receive something from a politi-
cal party. It matters not how much he
contributed to democratic success, he is
a republican just the same; and now
only democrats, such as are able to
trace their geneology down to the time
Of Thomas Jefferson, need apply. 1t is
the old story often repeated: Just help
democrats into Office INC see how far
they will go out of their way to permit
republicans to gather in the plums.
Your views may differ in some respects
from those expressed by your party-it
matters not. Remain true to your party
just the same; it is the most honorable
course and will win you friends in the
end.

THE APPRECIATION OF oDDNEsS.

In the ourse of one of his lectures,
Prof. Fowler happened to remark that all

Whether this moral retrogression which
is being noticed in this nation is the re-
suit of loose marriage laws and lax d.
vorce proceedings, or whether the latter
are the result of growing immortality on
the part of the people, are mooted ques-
TONS. The churches are becoming stirred
up over the matter, for on the purity of
the marriage and the sacredness of the
home depend the stability of the hurch.
Every nation in history that has decayed
has died because of moral laXity in SEX

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

The total value of our exports during
the last fiscal year was 81 1874 4S3,OS TINS
is truly, a magnificent showing. and 1t
vouli seem difficult to find in it anything
but cause for congratulation.
Since Secretary Gage issued his report
giving these figures. however. some
democratic papers point out the fact that
of this immense total, over I6.4 per cent
went to Europe the exact figure being
ST. 40, 167. 76S. while less thar PA per cent
went to the rest of the world. The report
also shows that our trade with South
America is not only very small. but that
it has increased less thar one per cent
since 1890, while for the same period the
exports to North American countries
have increased nearly 100 per cent. to
Africa So per cent, to Asia 229.6 per
cent. and to Oceanica 1885 per cent.
Upon this showing some democratic
Journals recommend that the United
States cease angling for the compare
lively insignificant trade of the poverty
stricken peoples of other parts of the
world,"-that is, that our efforts be con-
fined to Europe.
1t happens, however, that the trade Of
South America is not insignificant. 1t is
only that portion of it that is held by
the United States that merits this term,
For that condition. the fault clearly rests
with US. The Europeans have been fore
ally taken the trade.
As Mr.. Whitlaw Reid recently point
ed out. it is "a reproach upon this coun-
try that for seventy seven years it has
largely overlooked and neglected this
phase of the case, hat the South Amer
lean states have been far more closely
related to Europe han to the United
States
Statistics further show that the trade Of
South America is growing rapidly, and
while it is today only anindication OF what
it will become in another decade, it is
even now far from insignificant. The de-
velopment that is going on down there
is hardly to be looked upon as the devel-
whole continent.
The spirit of the Monroe doctrine ought
to ,nita the the South American states
to his republic more closely han they
are united TO any other country. Such a
condition., unfortunately, does not exist,
but it is difficult to understand upon
what grounds opposition to bringing it
about can be based.
That it will be brought about, to a
large extent at least, seems absolutely
certain. There are many movements on
foot in that direction already, ana one
factor that will probably help more thar
all else will be the Isthmian canal. The
effect of the great waterway upon the re-
lations between the United States anf
South America will be potent, indeed
and next year-the year when all pre-
liminaries relating to. the construction o
the canal will be closed up-there will b,
the great Pan-American exposition a
buffalo, which is certain to bring tn
people of the two continents into clos
business and social contact.
