LESS HASTE. BFTTFR CANAL.

The prospect of postponing final action upon
the isthmian canal for another year will not be
hailed with enthusiasm, save by the few who
are opposed to the construction of that great
work. BY some It will he regarded with out
right impatience and dspleasure Nor. indeed,
does It seem certain that long a postpone
ment is necessary. There Is surely no need OF
sending any more surveying commissions to
Central and South America. With the report
Of the last commission before It, with the men,
bers Of that commission within reach for con-
sultation and explanation. and with a definite
hand, it would seem that Congress ought to be
sion upon the matter before the end Of the
present session
IT, however, there be postponement until the
next session we shall not be as those who
mourn without hope. For deliberation is bet
ter than haste. The United States wants
canal, and wants it urgently. 1t does not want
an unfinished and unfinishable ditch. but a
complete working canal. 1t does not want
either Nicaragua or a Panama canal per Sc
but It wants whatever canal will best serve its
purposes Having waited half century for
opportunity to construct any canal what
ever, it surely afford TO wait few weeks
or months for absolute assurance as to the bet
ter route. The horrible example" Of the two
French undertakings at Panama should serve
as a salutary warning against rashness and
undue haste. The nation will forgive a little
more delay if In the end 1t gets the best pos
sible canal. 1t would scarcely be pleased with
the utmost expedition should that result in

PRINCIPLES LACKING.
COwnrdIy Evasion by Democrats OF
the House of Any Open DccInrn-
tiOn of Party Faith.

The failure of the democrats of the
house to make any declaration regard
ing The nature of democratic principles
very naturally attracts attention be-
cause. whatever may he the cause as
signed for such failure. everybody. or
nearly everybody who gives attention
to political affairs know that tits due
to the inability of the minority to
agree upon any definite declaration of
party faith. The resolutions of Mr.. Nc
Cle.lan, of New York, written by Tam
many's candidate for mayor and APP
proved by Mr.. Croker, were entirely
lost sight of in the performance.
which may be accepted as evidence that
Tammany's leadership is not accepta-
bic to any other democrats than thos,
who are elected from New York city.
The resolutions presented by a south
ern democrat. which reafIirmed the
Kansas City platform with an anti-ex-
pansion and anti-Philippine attach
ment. would doubtless have suited the
majority of the members Of the minor
ity. but only 10 members Of the caucus
went on record in favor of them. This
means that the democrats : in the house
did not care to come to a square vote
on the question of declaring the Kan.
sas City platform the latest expression
Of democratic faith. The ,arge major
ity Of the caucus thought it eXpedientt to
dodge the whole question by declaring
that the democrats in the house have
no right to assume the sponsibi,ity OF

COUNSELORS OF AGE.
Political Wisdom Cones Only
with Years and Experience.

A number of democratic papers
seem well pleased with Senator Dol
liver's declarations in favor of re-
vision of the tariff, bat they forget
that the senator is so young that he
has had but one experience with free
trade, and appears to have nearly
forgotten the unequaled losses forced
upon the people of the United States
by the free trade agitation from 1890
to 1896 and the free trade tariff tin
kering that resulted in the enactment
of the Wilson tariff bill of 1894. The
men who remember the disasters and
losses of other free trade eras are
opposed to any tinkering with the
tariff at the present time, and there
is no doubt that their counsel will
be needed. The younger men lack
the experience by which the future
should be guided, but they are learn
ing and they will yield to the counsel
of the republican leaders who have
aided in making the United States
the greatest nation on the earth dur
ing the past so years. The Iowa State
of Speaker Henderson. so cogently
stated in the following extract from
his reply to n petition, signed by 20
republican business men of Waterloo
and Cedar Falls, requesting him to
favor a revision of the tariff by the
present congress:
MY judgment is that It is more i'm
portant at this time, in the interest Of this
country, to reduce taxation upon ourselves
and stop TO a proper degree the influx of
the peoples money into the public treas
Try. With the country in an unparalleled
prosperous condition, ! cannot believe it
wise to begin a reduction which
inevitably will open up the whole
field of revision and thus put a seri-
Gus check upon the business Of the coun-
try. The moment the country understands
there Is to be a revision of the tariff. job

to buy at lower prices. This will compel
the manufacturer to reduce his business.

right, as will be proved by the rec.
ords when the present term of con-
gress has adjourned. The young men
are good takers, but it is the coun-
sci of the old men that will assure
the safety of the government and
the continued prosperity of all the
people who are willing to work for

Fata. Ending OF a Quarrel.

New York, Feb. 14.-Philomon
Cralin, special officer at Milburn,
near Orange, y. j.. at his home last
night shot his daughter, Mrs. Fergu-
son, and himself, and caused the
death of his wife. Father and daugh-
ter are expected to die. Tuesday
night Crelin had quarrel with his
wife and tried to stab her with Il
carving knife. The daughter inter
fered and saved her mothers life.
Creln then threatened to kill Mrs.
Ferguson. When he went off duty
last night he brought his revolver
home with him. While all the facts
are not known at present, it seems
likely that he first shot his daugh-
ter. She was struck by two bullets,
one of which entered her abdomen
and the other the left breast. Gre
lin, it is thought, then attempted to
shoot his wife, but she was suddenly
seized with hemorrhage of the
lungs and fell to the floor dead. The
officer then shot himself, the bullet
