BELIEF GROWS THAT
 BIG CANAL IS BLOCKED
Option of Panama Company Will Ex-
 pirs Before Negotiations End.

Washington. November 16.-The inn pression is growing stronger that in- surmountable difficulties have present. ed themselves in the way of construct ing the Panama canal under existing legislation
 Members of the senate committee ar irving in Washington do not see how pending negotiations are to be brought to successful termination without great delay. and. in the meantime, the offer of the Panama Canal Company to Sell it's franchise to the United States expires March 3, 19C3 Then there is a question whether the money appropri- ated at the last session of congress will be available after that date, unless something is done in the meantime.
 Senator Morgan, the author of the Nicaragua canal bill, who knows as much about the status of affairs as any man. is oi the opinion that congress will have to deal with the canal prob lem over again. In this he does not permit himself to be prejudiced by his preference for the Nicaragua route but views the situation merely from the standpoint of one who is deeply inter- ested in the whole subject.

LOVELY WOMAN AS A REPEATER

When it used to be alleged against woman suffrage that the participation of the fair sex in the voting would de- grade the sex, the late Miss Francis E. Willard was fond of saying that women would uplift the ballot and purify the voting places and the men who assem- ble around them. We wonder what Miss Willard, if she were alive, would say on reading of the arrest of a widow in Denver on Tuesday on a charge of repeating.
 This misguided sister had so success fully adopted ward heeler standards that she had already cast two ballots and was about to drop in a third when detected. Men-base men-have been known to do these things upon rare occasions, but women never. The .ob- loquy of the Denver woman's offense is appalling at this distance, and even in Colorado, where they are used to seeing feminity at the polls, the fact of trying to cast more votes than were allotted to each individual when the sex was granted suffrage some years ago is a distant shock.
 The only mantle of charity which can be drawn over this episode of the gen eral election is the excuse put forth by the fair repeater. She says she did it to make pin money. She has no hus- band to buy her pins. or to give her the cash wherewith to get paper of these little articles each week, and so she had to devise some plan of her own to acquire the universally coveted pin money" That is certainly some justi- fication, at least the other women who don't get pin money will think so.
 When mans in trouble, especially when he's in the clutches of the law for falling from grace, there is an old saw which says that "a woman is always at the bottom of it." In this affair the prisoner is a woman, and we wonder. just for the sake of wondering, wheth- CT a man is at the bottom of it. Has the relative position of the sexes with regard to the old maxim been reversed since lovely woman began to exercise what President Roosevelt Tuesday des- ignated as "his duty and his privilege

THE PHILOSOPHY OF IT.

One of the obvious philOsOphic lessons of the election returns. taking the coun- try as a whole. is that large masses of voters, perhaps the majority. do really credit the national administration oI the day, or the party in power. for such good fortune as they have. and do ac- tually blame it for the evils they are enduring.
 There is no other way of explaining the fact that. alike in the west and the east, broadly speaking. the farmers everywhere have followed Hanna's counsel to stand pat with prosperity while the wage-earners, feeling the pinch of higher retail prices much In excess of any corresponding advance in wages since 1897, have come out and given great democratic majorities in the cities.
 It need not be inferred that the farm CTS attribute their prosperity to the Dingley tariff; they understand, Of course. that their crops and products generally-the prices whereof are fxei in Liverpool-are not and cannot b. protected by import duties. Neverthe- less they are prosperous. therefore in clined to let things be. The city wage earner and householder is in a very diff ferent position. He is daily buyer at the retail store of many things which the farmer never buys-and the retail store is exactly where the trusts make people 'step up and settle" Henc.. the impressively large votes cast in tho cities for "a change" - New York World

 A rich strike has been made on the 75 foot level of the Bess mine adjoining the Angel. These two mines present the peculiar phenomenon oi a gold mine and a copper mine lying side by side. The Angel reports indications of a new strike on the 200 level within a few days. The Rose & Russian near Congress has been sold to Boston peo- pie who will commence vigorous work at once.
 The recent heavy rains will do the district a world of good. Grass will be plentiful on the ranges to make the stockmen glad Water holes and desert tanks everywhere are full and this will encourage prospectors to prospect in the districts where water cam ot or dinarily be had.

SAYS CHURCH PENNIES
 WRIGCLE FOR SHAME
Many Persons Get Religion for Cent a
 Sunday.

Reading, Pa, November 16.-The Rev. w. H. Myers. pastor of Grace Lutheran church, is waging war against the practice of dropping pennies in church collection plates.
 Tn Reading and most other places" declared MT. Myers in a sermon today, many people get their religion at the rate of a penny a Sunday. The penny is not in proportion to the value re- ceived.
 In urging the congregation to be lib- eral, Mir. Myers said:
 Money is a great thing for the church, but the way you give it is greater for the soul. How often does the penny, like a little miscreant. wriggle about on the plate for shame before 1t can shake off the conscience of the wealthy giver and settle down in peace?
 "The penny is not in proportion to value received The casual visitor to church drops on the plate his little quota, but how much does he give for a single sitting at other places. The ministry in this country costs you $25,- 100000; imported ribbons and feathers cost nearly as much and wines and to- baocos cost S5.000. 900.
 "A pew at s25 rent. with five persons in 1t, is at the rate of five cents a sit ting. reserved seat in Brooklyn's principal churches costs at the rate of fourteen cents a sitting, and the prn- cipal theaters charge $4 for the same privilege.
 In Reading and most other places many people get their religion at the rate of penny a Sunday. It is rec ommendation of religion to make such a privilege possible for the poor, but 1t Is the duty Of the we'll to- do to make 1t possible"

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Socialists Will Probably Be Represent
 ed in Executive Council.

New Orleans, November 16.-There is a strong probability that the executive council of the American Federation of Labor will be enlarged from nine to eleven members at the present conven- tion, and one of the additional mem- bers will be representative of the so- cialist wing O. the labor unions. So- cialists assert that they control nearly a third of the votes cast in the con- vention. and feel fairly confident of getting one man on the board. A strong element is opposed to an increase in the number.
 w. E. Kennedy. general organizer of the International Brotherhood of Flee trical Workers, has prepared a resolu- tion which he expects will raise some thing of a breeze in the convention It is to the effect that it shall be the policy of the federation to refrain from interference in political matters.

SMALL FARMING
IN HAWAII mel

The work Of the experiment station
liminary investigation. About 154 acres
near Honolulu have been set apart for
the station, which was started in April
last year by Mr.. Jared G. Smith of the
Department of Agriculture. The prob
lem of restoring some of the decadent
industries of the islands is now to be
taken up, in the hope that the small
farmer may again become prominent
in Hawaiian agriculture. Nearly all
enterprise is now centered in sugar
raising. Wheat, tobacco, maize, silk
culture and cotton are known to be
well adapted for the islands, but near
ly all attempts to develop these indus
tries have been abandoned in recent
years.
Experiments in poultry have already
begun, as they are of immediate i'm
portance. The supply of poultry is al
ways inadequate on account largely of
the ravages of disease. It has already
been learned how some of the diseases
may be combated and bulletin has
been issued concerning them. 1t will
be boon if poultry raising is placed on
good footing in Hawaii, where live
chickens sell at $12 to SIS a dozen and
eggs at 40 to so cents dozen.l
The markets are at all times supplied
with fruit and vegetables from Cali
fornia, when they should be raised at
home. The effort is to be made to i'm
prove methods and reduce the cost Of
small tract of land may be able to earn
comfortable living from it. Plans are
now maturing for experiments in hor-
ticulture and especially in fruit raising.
Studies will be undertaken in soils, for
age crops, animal husbandry and dairy
ing, and a preliminary survey has al
ready been made of the coffee industry.
1t is hoped, in fact, that the influence
OF the experiment station will be to
diversity gradually the agricultural in
dustries of the islands so that the peo-
pie will not always continue to carry
practically all their eggs in one basket,
as they have long been doing. The en-
| deavor will be made to attract larger
| attention to the desirability of raising
at home quite number of agricul-
tural products that are now imported
and to cultivate other crops besides
sugar that are in sufficient demand
abroad to make their export advantag-
