NO PANAMA OFFER.

Rumors are extant that the members OF the
Isthmfan Canal Commission. who are now pre-
| pairing their final report. have practically ceased
negotiations with the president of the Panama
| Canal Company and will make no recommends
ton in favor of his scheme. If this be true
much disappointment may be caused to some
who are interested in the Panama company, but
there will be little surprise the part Of jul
tiicious observers. Ever since NJ. Hutin came
TO this country TO negotiate with the commits
sion he has seemed strangely reluctant, I'M
willing or unable TO make definite and
straightforward proposition for the sale of the
Panama property to the United States There
is reason TO believe that down to the present
time he has made no such proposition If so,
the commissioners are certainly justified in
withdrawing attention from his project, and IL
is exceedingly doubtful whether serious atten-
ton will be given to il elsewhere.
For NJ Hutin would surely be in error If he
expected this government to make an offer for
the Panama company's property. The United
States Government is not In that business. 1T
has other and better work 10 do than TO go
about bidding for unfinished canals and second
hand machinery 4 direct offer of outright sale
would doubtless be courteousy considered. 1t
is conceivable that in certain circumstances il
would be accepted But the offer Of sale must
come from the party which desires to sell. And
IL NAV be added that the offer of sale would
have to be absolute. The United States would
have to acquire sole proprietorship, with clear
title or none at all. The idea Of partnership
between this government and some foreign cor
poration, or of purchase by this government
subject TO subsequent claims by stockholders
In the old Panama company, would be utterly
repugnant-
There has been, ever since the beginning OF
the efforts to dispose OF the Panama project to
this country do,lbt as to NJ Hutin's ability to
make a definite proposition of sale and to offer
an unimpeachabe title TO the property. Every
dav In which he has delayed to make such an
offer has strengthened that doubt. And If now
negotiations between him and the commission
are indeed closed without offer being made
by him. 1t will be pretty completely confirmed.
In that case there may be cause for satiSfac-
ton For while II is possible that the Panama
route is the best between the oceans. it is In
disputabie that the United States Government
does not want TO become entangled In any re-
yiyed Panama scandals TO be mixed up in
anv disputes over titles. If this country ever
builds an isthmian canal it must do so on Its
own account and not in any partnership with
aliens and it must do so under title that Is
absolutely unimpeachable.

A CHEERING RUMOR.

IF the New-York of former days-to wit, that
mart of the present metropolis which is pre-
ciseIv designated as the Borough OF Manhattan
is a powerful magnet as everybody must ac-
knowledge it 10 be, 1t Is likewise a vast ex-
tfnpuisher In addition TO the miscellaneous
throng whose advent may be variously account
ed for. there are constantly drawn hither men
who hope to become great and men who deem
ing themselves to have achieved greatness al
ready desire a fuller recognition of their quail
ity and wider field for the exercise of their
talents But New-York is not invariably kind
tn such persons. Ii has a habit OF receiving
them with Indifference and quietly refusing to
crafty their ambitions, unless they are en-
dowed with that peculiar faculty OF getting
on" which is much more easily identihed than
comprehended. We would not say that those
who are thus disappointed necessarily or usu-
ally fall into n state Of melancholy In conse-
guence. for they discover many compensations
for the denial of their original hopes and may
not unreasonably find contentment ere long in
being something very different from what they
expected to be.
These reflections are suggested by revival
of the rumor that the Hon. Timothy L. Wood
ruff has persuaded himself to relinquish the
particuIar privileges OF existence in Brooklyn
and migrate to Manhattan in pursuit OF objects
unobtainable elsewhere Mr.. Woodruff has
been at some pains TO convey the impression
that this report is erroneous, at least prema-
ture, explaining that he has merely taken rooms
here i'm order that he may more conveniently
cultivate the agreeable social relations which
he has formed on this side OF the river and
that he has present intention OF founding
new home But without imputing the slightest
| inslncerity to the Lieutenant Governor We vent
ure to surmise that he is not fully aware of
the fate which he is inviting II he comes to
Manhattan as tenant at will on a small scale
he is not unlikely to be shared. gripped and held

PROGRESS OF RECIPROCITY.

Two important speeches on trade relations
delivered in Boston last Saturday give encour-
aging evidence of the growing realization among
thoughtful and progressive Republicans Of the
necessity OF providing for larger commercial re-
!ations and carrying out the essential features
of President McKinleys policy, as declared by
him at Buffalo just before he was stricken down
by the assassin's hand. At the present stage of
the discussion absolute agreement is not TO be
expected AS TO the form or extent of concessions
desirable for opening up new markets and
crowning the protective system which has built
mp our industries by enactments giving those
industries the field they now ready to oc-
cupy The important thing is that the new duty
of the party OF progress should be recognized,
and the search for practical method of doing
that duty should be already undertaken.
General James II. Wilson of Delaware, in his
speech before the New England Free Trade
League makes what he himself evidently re-
CARDS as an impossibly radical proposition. He
wants a customs union for the North American
States and would hope to see II extended TO
the South American republics He recognizes
the truth that the most profitable trade is what
may be called the natural and necessary trade
between countries that do not produce the same
things or do not produce them with the same
ease Cur true trade expansion Is 10 be found

There was one department of THE Interior that
