the Partisan press. The journal des

Colombia viii think twice before ac-
cepting the aid Of the United States In
it's trouble with Venezuela, and that
the Government at BogOta should re-
member the recent history OF Cuba is
not encouraging in this connection"

thinks that the Washington authorities
see in the situation an excellent chance
to seize territory. The Figaro" con-
siders the present "a fine opportunity
for il Cthe United States 10 put Pana-
ma and the canal in its pocket by pro-
tecting Colombia and Venezuela as it
protects Cuba and the Philippines"
Our worthy Gallo contemporaries
have not the slightest occasion for aEi-
tation This country does not want
either the Isthmus Of Panama or the
old de Lesseps canal failure partly dug
across it. There is not the remOtest
danger to any French interest on that
score The good people Of France are
welcome 10 their impracticab!e ditch.

ton. But there viii not be any seizure
The END in view can be accomplished
in another way, and one not calculated

result in the overthrow Of the present
Venezuelan Government Of General

France has no concern with that little

American affairs more carefully and
thus spare themselves the nightmares
that sometimes upset their nerves be-
cause Of their lack Of accurate infOr-

The jersey Postomce sc.nd,I

The Civil Service Reform League and
the United States Postoffice Department
are directly at issue concerning the
violation Of the Civil Service law by the
officials Of the Jersey City postOfiice.
The League charges that the assistant
postmaster a tempted 10 coerce the en-
plOyes into making contributions to the
Republican campaign fund, and the
department. in effect denies the charge
This presents an issue that is 10 be re-
GREETED. and the manner in which IL is
made Is not calculated 90 strengthen
public confidence In the Administration
Of the postal service of the country.
The officers Of the Civil Service
League investigated the matter, and
found 10 their full satisfaction that the
law had been violated; that the assist
ant postmaster was chairman Of both
the city and county Republican cam
paign committees; that as such chair
man he caused written requests for
contributions 10 be sent 70 the employees.
and that those who failed promptly to
comply were subjected TO less favorab BILE
treatment in the matter Of their en-
ployment Against this the Postofice
Department claims that il caused a sep
Srate department investigation to be
made, from which it appeared that
there had been no coercion; that sixty
witnesses were examined under oath

only twenty made statements. and

inspectors. Moreover. IL Is alleged b.
the department that the testimony
against the officials was largely given
by disgruntled ex-emplOyes. II We stop

showing in their own behalf But in all
such cases we must In fairness look be

Acting Secretary Of the Navy Hackett
has concluded TO maintain silence in fu-
ture in respect Of the Schley Court Of En-
quiry. He SO informed the congress Of
newspaper men convened in his office yes
terday. This action is taken to relieve
him of the embarrassment incident TO
continually refusing TO answer questions
regarding SIMPSONS appearance OF non
appearance before the Court OF Enquiry.
II is the manifest purpose Of the Depart
ment 10 save Sampson from cruss-eNami-
nation in the case, if that can be done;
because, the best witness against Samp-
son and the navy ring which Is seeking

could get at and 20 through him This
is a fact thoroughly appreciated by Long.

they can prove that the Matanzas Mule

opinion will compel them to produce him
before the Court; OF else there will be a
lively commotion after the meeting Of
