ening Of their scope Of activity and to-
day their stockholders are receiving divi-
dends that would never have accrued
to them under the old system OF opera
ton. The country never before saw a
day when so much gold was parcelled
out to individuals as that in which It
is now rejoicing. 1t is the golden era Of
Americas prosperity, the harvest day
OF a people that have sown well and
cultivated thoroughly"
There are some who doubt whether
the situation is altogether healthy,
whether some things are not being done
financially which are attractions OF nat
ural economic laws and therefore dan
gerous. But there can be no reasonable
doubt that the country is having n high
degree of solid prosperity and so far
as appears there is good reason to ex-
pect its continuance for several years.
There is a disgusting feature Of the
situation In the labor troubles, but there
is ground for hoping that these will be
settled before any very serious harm
results from them to the business Of
the country.
Omaha daily bee., 1902-07-03
ANorhER IssUE wIrH oHlrA.

Last Tuesday the Chinese government
was to have paid to the powers the first
installment, amounting to a little over
100000, Of the Indemnity, the share
Of the United States being S400.eSo.
China, however, refused to pay at the
current rate Of exchange, urging that
under the provision Of the treaty she
is privileged to pay at the rate of ex-
change that prevailed at the date of
the protocol, April 1, 1901, when the
price Of silver was higher than at pres
ent. There is a difference Of opinion In
regard to the construction to be given
the language Of the protocol and our
government agrees with the Chinese
contention and is willing to accept pay
ment accordingly, while the other gov
ernments are disposed to insist upon
being paid at the present rate of ex
change.
There is the authority Of Mr.. Rock
hill, who was the special commissioner
Of the United States in the negotiations
with China, to the effect that the repre-
sentatives of the powers calculated the
debt according to the value Of the tael
in gold at the rate of exchange then pre-
vailing and this being so it certainly
appears like an injustice to China. sill
yer having greatly deprecated, to de-
mand that she shall pay at the present
rate Of exchange. Therefore the posi-
ton Of the United States on the ques-
ton seems absolutely fair and proper,
but it is doubtful If other governments
can be induced to take this view and
hence the serious way In which the mat
ter is regarded at Washington. The
greedy European powers, which have
shown a persistent disposition to
squeeze all they possibly could OF of
China, are likely to insist upon their
demand and may enforce it in the event
Of the continued refusal Of China to
comply. The probable outcome. how
ever, is that the Chinese government
will yield rather than face the danger
of more serious trouble.

PROMPT ACTION ON CANAL BILL.

Already the president and cabinet
have had under consideration the
course to be pursued in carrying out
the provisions of the isthmian canal bill,
which means that there is to be
nc unnecessary delay in the mat
ter. The general belief is that
no difficulty will be found in Sc
curing a satisfactory title to the fran
chises, rights and property Of the New
Panama company, or in obtaining the
required concessions from Colombia. In
regard TO the former 1t is the intention
of the president to proceed carefully, so
that when negotiations are completed
not a shadow of doubt will rest upon
the title OF the United States to the
property acquired. Some OF the ablest
lawyers In congress have held that the
Panama company is fully authorized, by
the action of the French court last year,
to dispose Of its property. 1t is con-
tended that the power to sell is sane
toned in the most unequivocal terms,
but it is stated that our government
may seek further judicial action in
France and possibly will even endeavor
to have the matter passed upon by the
French parliament. For any efforts
that may be made in these directions
there is assurance of the assistance of
the French government
In regard to concessions from Colon
bia, the basis Of a treaty has already
been drawn. Our right to construct
the canal will not be derived from the
Panama company. but must come from
a treaty direct with the Colombian gov
eminent The republic of Colombia
offers to give to the United States all
necessary Jurisdiction over the canal
and territory requisite for its construc-
ton and operation. the United States to
pay a reasonable annual compensation.
to be hxed by the two governments
every hundred years; except the
amount for the first term is 10 be hxed
at the end of fourteen years. Upon
ratification OF a treaty the sum OF
100000 shall be paid by the United
States. this amount to be accounted for
in subsequently fixing the annual COM
p~ensation. Colombia has given evil
dence Of a disposition TO grant to this
country necessary concessions and 1t is
not doubted that a fair and satisfactory
treaty will be effected between the two
governments. The southern republic
understands that the selection OF the
Panama route is contingent upon our
government obtaining reasonable terms
and conditions, the bill passed by con-
gress specifically providing that IL salts
factory concessions are not secured from
Colombia the president shall negotiate
with Nicaragua and Costa Rica- AS
Colombia is undoubtedly most DESTROYS

A PARTY OF ~NEGATION.
Democratic way Of Dealing with
Great Issues.
st, Louis Globe-Democras

St Louis Globe-D Democrat
The democratic party got a hard blow
from Congressman Cannon Of illinois, the
other day when he saidi I'VE pull the
wagon and we do the work, and you ind
the fault. We are doing the best that can
be done In settling the questions that
grew out Of the war Of 1898, but all that
you can do is to scold." II anybody recoi-
lects anything that has been lone by the
democracy in recent years except to scold
he ought TO tell II as q contribution to
history. When Money OF Mississippi, as
blatant a ~demagogue as Clark Of Missouri,
or TIllman of South Carolina, was asked q
few months ago how he would solve the
Philippine problem, his answer was, "The
Philippines may go to the devil for ali I
care"
This is the democratic way Of dealing
with great issues. That party's only
function in the politics Of the past forty
years has been to obstruct every great
measure which the republican party has
brought forward. Once or twice when It
essRyed something In the field Of creative
statesmanship IL passed silver bills and put
through q tariff which President Cleveland
said stood for party perfdy and party dis
honor" and which he refused to sign, let
ting It become q law through the expira-
ton Of the time limit. All the legislation
since 1851 which met the national necessi-
ties as they presented themselves has been
enacted by the republican party and, in
almost every case. against the persistent
and malignant hostility Of the democracy.
ostensibly the democrats are very anxi-
Gus to lave a Cuban reciprocity bill passed,
but they favor this policy only as a means
Of embarrassing the republicans. But the
republicans are not showing the slightest
amount Of embarrassment on this or any
other issue. The Cuban question will be
dealt with in this session and will never
arise again TO bother the republicans. The
reciprocity which was favored at the out
set by one element Of the republicans has
been given up, and probably never will
resppear. This question will soon be out
Of the way, and congress will have a
chance TO give Its attention to something
else. The democrats nave made no con-
tribution to the constructive legislation OF
the session. They will make mons TO that
Of this congress. The democracys oniy
function is obstruction and even in this
field II has no influence which any public
spirited American need reckon with
