The Commission to Leave the Route to
Selection OF Congress

Washington, November s.-The 18TH
milan canal commission will meet next
Tuesday to add the finishing touches
to it's report. 1t can be stated by au-
thority that the commission has not
reported, up to this time, in favor either
of the Nicaraguan or of the Panama
project. Consequently. the question has
not figured before the cabinet n the
administration mas not expressed a
preference for either route.
1t is expected that the commission
will not undertake either to accept or
to reject the proposition of president
Hutin looking to the acquisition by this
government of the Panama canal COM
pany's concessions. However, it will
lay the position before the president
and congress.
It can be stated, also by authority
that, in view Of the well-understoo1
favor with which congress heretofore
has regarded the Nicaraguan route.
the decision of the executive depart
ment will be in favor of that project

Professor Vfrchow's Patient

A humorous anecdote is told of the
eminent ~octogenarian pathologist, Ru-
dolf Virchow. 1t was only for a very
short time that he practiced medicine.
He was devoted to scientific research
nj private practice interfered with
his studies. But one day in later life
while his students were waiting for
their lecture at the hospital, agentle-
man knocked at the door of his private
room and stated hat he was not feeling
we'll and wished to consult the profess
sor. The learned savant examined the
man carefully and then said: Why.
my good friend you have no business
to be alive at all! You are suffering
from three separate complaints, each
one of which has long since arrived at
a stage which ought to have caused
your death. This is a most interesting
case; it shows that one must not al
ways believe in theory"
The patient began to feel very un-
comfortable, but Professor Virchow
did not notice either the effect of his
words or the cOmical side of h situa-
ton. He added: Would you mind
stepping into the next room? l should
ike to show you to some gentlemen
who are there The patient followed
the professor into the lecture room,
where he was introduced as an interest
ing case, and he had to remain while
the professor described the nature or
the three diseases and the progresS
they had made. On again hearing that
he ought long since to have been a
dead man he got so uncomfortable that
he felt a longing for home and bolted.
The man is still alive! No doubt Pro-
fesSor Virchow is now more astounded
than ever, and the patient Of those days
was able to laugh in his sleeve over
the incorrect prognosis while he warmly
congratulated the doctor on his recent
birthday anniversary Berlin CORE
spondence of the London Standard.

The Passing of Croker

n reasons for the defeat of Tam
many in the New York municipal con-
test are neither obscure nor complicat-
ed. Mr.. Croker, actuated by the brutal
egotism which has so long character
lied his leadership, had his way in the
nominating conventions and the voters
had their way at the polls, Mr.. Low
was by no means the strongest candi-
date the fusionists could have offered.
New York is a democratic city. This
fact was clearly demonstrated last
year, when, under the most adverse
circumstances, it returned a majority
of 2S,00) for Mr.. Bryan. Had the gen
tlemen VINO managed the forces op-
posing Tammany seen fit to offer the
voters an independent democrat as
their nominee there would have been no
doubt at any stage of the campaign
and the popular verdict against the i'm
pudent boss would I've been much
larger. But a sufficient number OF the
New York democrats overlooked his
bad management and chung success
ully to the idea of defeating the boss
and his cohorts.
Mr.. Croker's greatest and initial mis-
take was made when he returned to
this country from his home III England
and resumed the role Of dictator. With
the stencil Of Van Wyckism In the nos
trils Of the voters, the Tammany boss
Idecreed that the n conspicuous sue
Icess of the administration, Comptroller
jColer, SHOULD be turned dow ana hu-
INFLATED. There was i widespread and
honest demand for the nomination Of
Mr.. Coler for mayor. The Tammany
leaders advised Croker of this fact and
warned him that it would be dangerous
to ignore it. But the boss ~stubbornly
refused to listen to anything that would
SAVIOR of a capitulation to political
decency and proceeded to execute what
his low cunning conceived to be a sharp
gentleman, who had made himself con-
of Tammany and Tammany methods,
was made the nominee. The nominal
ton not only failed to check the feeling
Tammany, but 1t acted as a
wet blanket upon the members of the
democratic organization.
Having given the ead OF his ticket
an air OF responsibility, Boss Croker
then proceeded to load the county
ticket down with a list Of men who
were both incompetent and impossible
from the standpoint of decency in pub
lie life. Conspicuous in this list was
Mayor Van Wyck, whose name is Oh
.noxious wherever it is used. Van
Wyck's administration OF the mayors
office was so thoroughly discredited
that his nomination for a high judicial
position was nothing short of a stupid
and ignorant slap at and challenge to
public opinion. 1t was a challenge the
The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1901-11-12

voters were not slow to accept, and the
defeated and discredited boss has his
own short-sightedness and the obstin-
acy to thank for his discontinue.
That the result will be beneficial to
New York and the democratic party
there is no DON for doubt. Boss Crok-
er has u his race, and it makes no
difference as to whether he recognizes
the fact. His obstinacy and brutality
have wrecked temporarily a political
machine of great magnitude. and it will
require considerable repair before 1t
will again be fit for successful service.
The men who will rehabilitate and re-
store Tammany will dispense with
Croker and Croker methods, and it is
not at all unlikely that the boss will
make his English residence permanent
