Colorado.

The presence of Mr.. Bryan in Colorado
suggests that the republicans of that state
must be waging a warm fight. His interest
in Mr.. Tellers fortunes is naturally great.
The Colorado senator. after supporting him
twice for the presidency, has now under his
influence gone over in name as well as in
activity to the democrats. He is seeking re-
election to the Senate as a democrat, and
therefore has a claim upon Mr.. Bryan and
every other democratic leader. Mr. Bryan,
being a near neighbor, is able to show his
sympathy in a practical way by taking the
stump for Mr.. Teller. He has since 1896
been popular in Colorado, but his strength
there, as elsewhere in the west, has grad
ually declined How much remains is
question. 1t is probably affording him pleas
ure TO give Mr.. Teller the benefit of all that
does remain, even at the risk of losing a
little ground at home. Democratic pros
poets in Nebraska are reported to be none
too bright.

Its interests. More than this need not be
taken into account at this time. The pub
lie can afford to wait and follow develop
ments from day to day.
There is no risk In the prediction that the
report of this commission will impress the
country, and be accepted by it at full
value Both the mine operators and the
miners will have enjoyed opportunity to be
heard, and will have improved that oppor-
tunity. The last word will have been said
therefore, by those who have figured as
principals in all this lamentable business
Is it reasonable to suppose that at such
time and in such circumstances either the
operators or the miners will face about and
raise new difficulties? Such an act would
be very expensive to the perpetrators. 1t
would not only bring down on their heads
public indignation. but put them in the atti-
tude of enemies of arbitration and good
order.
All disqueting speculation is now out of
place. The miners in large numbers are
again at work, coal in rapidly increasing
quantities is coming into the market again,
the game of freeze out" with the cards
stacked against the public, has been called
off and the full story of the strike, its
causes. its effects, and what it teaches as
to the future, is now on the eve of telling.

and confident over the latest reports of his
friends, refers to the eighteen thousand ma
jorlty of Mr.. Roosevelt over Judge Van
Wyck as a sort of tight squeeze. In Iowa
the republican managers complain OF
apathy, but are expecting a majority OF
forty or fifty thousand. The republicans of
Wisconsin concede a factional light of I'M
usual bitterness in their ranks, but claim
that, nevertheless, they will defeat the op-
position by from twenty to thirty thousand
Illinois, we are told, will be close but with
the chances in favor of the republicans.
Still, the public is warned against expecting
a majority greater than thirty thousand.
And so on.
1t will be a good thing for both parties
and for the country when we again return
10 the old standards and really close races
are in order. In speaking of the national
House of Representatives, John Randolph
said on one occasion that the best majority
there was one; that where the parties were
almost equally divided neither could afford
walk chalk. The party in control must
keep its eye on that one vote. while the
party seeking control must show its ability
to hold together. Mr.. Randolph stated the
case, as he did most cases, extremely, but
he was dealing in sound sense. A narrow
margin in such matters is best. 1t tends to
insure good candidates, active campaigns,
well-digested legislation, and good conduct
in office. Pranking cannot be entered upon
without great risk, and failure in power
means certain defeat on the next appeal to
the country.

Colombia and the Canal.

The obstructive attitude of the United
States of Colombia. attested by the
actions of the Colombian minister in this
city during the past few days, is not likely
to last long when the full force of the
isthmian canal situation dawns upon the
authorities at Bogota. Colombia may now
complacently believe that she has a mo-
nopoly of the *'anal market, in view Of the
selection of the Panama route by Congress
last spring, and perhaps further in view of
Attorney General Knox's report that a
good title can be secured to the Panama
compapy's property, privileges and fran
chises. If such is the Colombian belief
there must soon come change of opinion.
Congress did choose the Panama route, but
with two conditions distinctly stated, first
that valid title could be secured from the
company and secondly that the United
States should be able to obtain control Of
the necessary territory of the Republic OF
Colombia (and certain rights enumerated in
the acD within a reasonable time and upon
reasonable terms
Failing both of these requirements the
President was authorized to negotiate with
Costa Rica and Nicaragua for a cession of
perpetual control of the territory necessary
for the construction, perpetual mainte-
nance operation and protection of a canal
along what is commonly known as the
Nicaragua route. 1t was very evident to
Congress. even with the sentiment in favor
of the Panama route strong enough in the
Senate to control the situation, that it
would be unwise to tie this government
down to one route or to dealings with a
single government. 1t was well known
then. and it is true now, that the United
States has the best grounds for confidently
expecting to obtain the most satisfactory
terms from Nicaragua and Costa Rica in
case the canal Is constructed along that
route. Treaties are already practically ne
gotiated which give this government terms
erous when compared with those demanded
by Colombia.
The United States of America has a role
to play in the monopoly drama itself in
this connection. 1t is the only possible
builder of the isthmian canal If it does
not see fit to construct it at one route it
can go to the other. 1t is master of the
situation. Under these circumstances it is
not to be believed that Colombia will try
to drive too sharp bargain or will under
take to make capital in the premises by
annoying the United States on the score of
the existing treaty which gives this govern
nent the right to protect the railroad
travel across the isthmus AS far as I'M
derstood today this government has of
fered no valid ground for complaint by the
actions of any of it's officers on duty at the
isthmus during the recent revolution. The
treatys terms are plain, and the United
States has kept well within its rights while
fulfilling it's obligations.

Majorities.

The two Mckinley campaigns for the
presidency broke all records for popular
majortties. The figures In some of the
states climbed skyward New York gave
the republican candidate an enormous vote
pennsylvania seemed to have been of but
one mind on the subject. Iowa showed a
hundred thousand. and Michigan and Wis
eonsin did almost as well Ohio and I'LL
nois likewise went overwhelmingly repubIi-
can, while Indiana, which until 1896 had al
ways been doubtful state, appeared in the
republican column that year with the larg-
est majority recorded there In a very long
time. In some of the state races, also. held
within the past six years. the republicans
have been phenomeEally successful. The
result of all this has been to so aceustom
the public to big figures that all caieula-
tions and comparisons are now based upon
them. A rev standard of a close race has
been established.

Silver's Lowest Price Makes Mischief.
IRON the New York Herald

From the New York Herald
The latest fall in silver, putting it at the
lowest price ever known, is demoralizing
the exchanges of countries that are on
silver basis.
At yesterdays price of 23A pence an ounce
in London the bullion value of our standard
dollar is 391a cents, and the commercial
ratio of silver to gold is about 40 to l.
What would be our fate If we had adopted
free coinage at Is to 1?
A wall is being raised by Americans who
have put their capital into Mexican rail-
ways, the revenues of which are collected
In silver, and they are trying to persuade
President Diaz's government to adopt meas
ures to give stability to the exchange.
Our own chief concern lies in the in
creased need of promptly adjusting the cur
rency In the Philippines. The fall in the
white metal and the feverish fuctuation of
the exchange are disastrous to trade
American salaried officials in the islands are
bitterly complaining of the reduced power
of their remittances to procure gold or COM
modit!es on a gold basis
The situation is like that precipitated in
India by the fall in silver ten years ago,
until the British government in June, 1893.

Mitchell. needs no noisy CONNIE moration or

could be paid to him would be for every
man of the miners to put in an extra hard
day today and produce an exceptional
amount of coal, and then later point to the
great product as not only as a tribute to
their leader but as an evidence of their
own prowess and skill. The people want
coal and will not be satisfied with the hon
