The presidents message
was rather disappointing on
the points where boldness
had been expected. On the
tariff the president seems to
have become very conserva-
tive; on trusts the remedy
given for resultant evils is
publicity, which, it may be
observed. is the remedy first
suggested by w, J. Bryan.
The president wants a large
army and navy, which is natu-
raj if this nation is to join in
the territory grabbing game,
But the message should be
read by every citizen, The
adulation and slobber over it
by some republican papers is
unnecessary. They forget
that a Jefferson, a Jackson
and a Lincoln wrote messages
that no president is ever like
ly to equal.

No argument based on loca!
jealousy or fear that some
particular part of the city is
going to grow, should stand
in the way of improvements
that will help the city. No
part of the city can grow
without helping all the city.
7 Ii e H erald would feel
gratifed to see the West side
double in population, because
that would mean much for all
the city. Any increase in
population will not be con-
fined to any particular locali-
ty, and even if 1t were, the
things which come from larger
growth would be shared by
all. It is time for Little Falls
to get rid of the spirit of pet
ty jealousy between sections
of the city. No good ever
came from it.

MoRGAN's AMBITIOUS SCHEME.
The Panama Canal Project Admitted
to BE Fact

The story that a company organized
by j. Pierpont Morgan had offered to con-
struct the Panama Canal and give this
Government every concession desired if
the Nicaraguan project is given mp was
practically admitted by the State Depart
ment officials yesterday.
While the officials are not willing 20 ad-
nit that they are familiar with the details
OF the scheme, they acknowledge that
the main facts are true and do not deny
that the plans are well under way
The scheme involves the deposition of
NJ. HutiD as President Of the Panama
Canal Company, the purchase of the ditch
for $41,000,0o0 and the organization of a
company which will include beside Mr..
Morgan, J. ]. Hill, Charles r. Flint, f. c.
Converse. Senator Hanna, and others
The proposition was made to the Pres
ident by Mr. Morgan during his recent
visit to this city. Mr. Mckinley has not
yet made reply. The United States is
TO have any privilege desired and the
company and capital will be exclusively
American.
1t is said that the President is inclined
To regard the matter favorably and as
good politics, since it would save the
expenditure Of 5000 600 coo

age over what the vendors received,
and the difference no doubt was the
gain Of Messes Nobody and Company.
Now, it would be edifying to know just
who the Intermediates in the Terry
transaction were. If it was an honest
one, it is To be feared that the Board
Of Survey was extremely incompetent
If it was dishonest. it would be well TO
ascertain what civilian or civilians
blessed with influence of some kind,
was or were instrumental in consum-
mating the deal
We cannot say that we expect any
drastic measures on the part of the Ad-
ministration TO unearth and ventilate
an army transport scandal. The coun-
try has long nursed the conviction that
rigid investigation of any branch of
that subject would prove a grieyous
embarrassment to many persons in
high position, who appear to have sac
rificed a good deal of their time during
the Spanish war to engage in the role
of honest broker in the business of
supplying the War and Navy Depart
meuts with Terrys and Merrrimacs,
and large number of old tramps,
tanks, tugs. and ferryboats. at prices
which would make a shipbuilder rich
in six months. Such people would
scarcely welcome an inquest the re
suits of which might tend to encourage
theory that they had used their per-
sonal influence with the Administration
to make enormous commissions. Some
of the class TO which reference is made
have grown mysteriously prosperous
since the time of these purchases; but
that of course may be due to their pro
fessional business ability. If SO, they
ought to be glad of an opportunity to
clear themselves of suspicious that lurk
in the public mind from Maine to Cali
fornia. Unless the records be destroy
ed, the day will come when the secrets
of the transport scandal viii be learned
and divulged. Then, we apprehend,
there viii be a considerable rafting of
dry bones.
