Our Naval victory at The lsthmus.

Most of us maxi no attempt to get a
clear understanding of the revolution
in Columbia, AID probably we Should
not succeed if we tried. II is one of
these typical Central American
sauabples with much loud talk and
little powder burned by the partisans
of the various dictators and wouldb be
dictators. To be sure they have at
lracted attention by the untrue and
:Ite'scther praiseworthy innovation IN
warfare of refraining from fighting. by
common agreement. on rainy days
when they might spoil their gay dni-
forms or catch cold. Undoubtedly.
however, the affair has its serious side
as mcnacing American interests on
the isthmus End threatening to involve
this government ir unpleasant compli-
cations there and i'll this connection it
il gratifying to note that the attitude
OF our naval representatives, on the
scene of trouble has been so fair and
so firm that not only have American
interests been fully protected. but un-
;nterr,,pted traffic along the isth,nian
railroad has heen maintained, and botn
sides. applauding the United States for
it's neutrality. show cheerful willing
ness to do as We want them to.
At the request of our naval officers

was given uo by the government party
and tn. Liberals. in possession "f the
cit.. promptly moved out ut u re-
quest from The same source. This WAS
simply to get the quarrel of the
isthmus where it endangered free
traffic along The railroad which We are
bound by treaty to maintain. WhertN-
or an emergency faces the American
navy. il is always equal To the occa-
sion. and our officers are showing tact,
coolress and resolution to Il nigh de-
gree in dealing with the turbulent cle-

This. the Fifty-seventh Congress is

entirely. to the uniform and persistent
foIly of their accommodating adVcrsa- :
rics-RoSton Herald.
The Democrats have helped in the
good work. but hardly to the extent in
tiicatcd by our esteemed semi Demo-
cratic contemporary. The series of
great Republican victories in recent
wears. have been won on the merits Of
the party and the virtue Of Republican
principles. rather than on the short
ro,nings Of the opposition. The Re-
cublicans have Won because they
stood for national honor and integrity.
for progress and prosperity for
strenuous AmcricaniSm at home and
abroad They have won because they
are the party which does things and
does them well. not the party Of
rctroEression and negation. Bryan
and the Eryanites. with all their follies
and fallacies have made the Eepubli-
can victories easy. but it is putting
the ear, before the horse to thank
them for the blessing of four success

President, being a former navy ofhciai

happy by the compromise which kept

That he got SO excited over the

q touch to the scene which brings our
