CURRENT COMMENT.

The Houston (Tex.) Post (Dem. }
says: 1.-The practice of the house in
passing important measures without
full and exhaustive debate is much
to be regretted. 1t marks a departure
from the original Republican ideals
that prevailed at the foundation of
the government. Coming fresh from
the people, the House was constituted
to register the peoples will. II can not
do this If II allows itself to degenerate
into a mere servant of the Senate."
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem }
says: Andrew Carnegie warned the
Mckinley administration early that the
absorption Of the Philippine Islands
would so Just that far in the destruc-
tion of the American tariff system. Mr.
Carnegie was probably under the i'm
preston that in the matter OF making
a living at least, our acquired citi-
zens, or subjects, would be treated on
an equality with citizens at home"
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem) says: "A House Committee has
made a favorable report on a bill for
the election OF United states Senators
by the people. This. however. Is an
old story Several such movements
have got through the House. but they

COLOMRIA'S PREPosTEROTS DE-
MANDS.

Colombia evidently thinks the offer
of the Panama Canal Company to sell
| its canal property to the United States
! for S4O,OOO,000 gives her a chance to
! put her bankrupt treasury on solid
| foundation at the expense Of the
/ United States. The chairman of the
Isthmian Canal Commission has been
irving to find out from DR.. Silva. Co
lombias representative at Washington,
the terms on which the United States
could get the right to construct the
canal across the isthmus. if they
should accept the offer Of the Panama
Canal Company. AS is well known the
Panama canal route passes through
the territory of Colombia.
At first DR.. Silva said his govern
ment would not part with the title to
any of its territory, that it would
lease the right of way of the canal
for period of 100 years, and that it
would demand the payment of $1,75O.-
900 year rental. He also mentioned
some other conditions on which Co
lOmbia would insist, one of them be-
ing, probably that Colombia should
own the canal at the expiration of the
100 years term, or at least a con-
siderable part of it.
After discussion DR.. Silva said that
his government would lease the right
of way for 200 years and would accept
a rental of $1,000. 900 year. 1t is evil
dent that the United States will not
accept such terms. If Colombia in
sists upon such conditions she will get
nothing The United States will build
the canal on the Nicaragua route.
1t may be that Colombia, when she
discovers that the United States will
not consent to any such preposterous
terms as she now offers, will consent
to be more reasonable. In the first
place the United States will not spend
hundreds of millions of dollars in build
ing a canal through land that is
owned by another country. They have
said to Nicaragua, that if the Nicara
qua route were accepted the land for
a certain distance on either side of the
canal throughout it's whole distance,
would have to be decided to the United
States. They have doubtless said to
Colombia that she will have to give
the United States title to the land bor-
dering on the Panama route before
they will undertake to construct a
canal on that route.
And the United States will not pay
81, 500, 900 a year for the use of right
of way for the Panama canal. They
ought not to pay a cent, because the
canal will be of great benefit to Co
lombia. Still, they would be willing
to pay a nominal sum for the right of
way-that is, for the absolute title to it.
1t is apparent that there are a good
many things to settle before the United
States will be in a position to begin
work on an isthmian canal.

ARE THE BoERs SEEKING PEACE,

ARE THE BOERs SEEKING PEACE:
/ The impression is created by dis
patches from London that the Beers
/ are seeking peace. One dispatch stated
that as long ago as last August Boer
agents approached the British govern
ment through Lord Rosebery with
terms of peace, but that it refused to
notice the offer for the reason that it
believed that unconditional surrender
was in sight
Assuming that this report is correct,
the government must have based its
belief on the report of Mr.. Broderick
of it's war office. In February last that
official fixed the number of Beers in
the field at Is, 900 or 100000 According
to recent statement of his, there were
removed from the fighting force of the
Beers during 1901 about $4,000 men by
the efforts of Gen. Kitchener. The fig
ures he gives are as follows: Number
of Beers killed, III; number wounded,
1,244; number taken prisoners, 1856;
number that have surrendered 2,759.
To the foregoing must be added 2,S44
removed from the field of action by
other casualties, making the total
losses of the Beers during the year
approximately $4,000 men.
After reading these figures one won
ders how large the force of the Beers
is that is holding up" as it were. the
mightiest empire in the world. IN
less Mr.. Broderick is greatly mistaken
the Beers cannot have more than 1000
fighting men in the field. But they
seem to have great many more than
that. They have so many, in fact, that
the British are continually calling for
reinforcements.
1t must be a fact that in the very
beginning of the war the British
greatly underestimate the strength of
the Beers. They were ignorant of their
fighting force and of their qualities as
soldiers. If the Beers have no more
men in the field that Mr.. Broderick's
figures show, it is not at all strange
that the British are not in a hurry to
offer them terms of peace. They have
good reason to think they will wear
them out within the next few months.
AS a matter of fact, however, have not
the Beers a great many more men in
their armies than the British think
they have? If Gen. Kitchener were to
be questioned on this point the prob
ability is that he would differ radically
from Mr.. Broderick. His losses, and
his failure to bring the war to a close,
indicate that the Beers are far stronger
them to be.

A school teacher in Newark, N. j..
the other morning received a letter
from the father of one of her pupils
which read as follows: Dear Teacher
Please don't teach Johnny any more
about his insides. 1t makes him

school, no doubt. about the effects Of
alcohol on the lining of the stomach.
and had been giving his father the
benefit of some OF his knowledge. When
Johnny began to talk about the pan
creas and the pancreatic juice, the old
man probably opened his eyes in sur
prise to learn that he had any such
things in his insides; and then Johnny
got uppish and sassy. Superior knowl-
edge Is apt to have that effect upon a

Members of Congress are not mod

government can give them, at public
expense. Thomas Jefferson once
wrote, or rather compiled, a book
which he called, THE Morals of Jesus
of Nazareth The volume, of which
only one copy is in existence, in the
national museum, has become known
as Thomas Iefferson's Bible" In
preparing it Jefferson stripped the BIZ
BILE of all of it's miracles, leaving moth
ing but pure morals, in order that they
might be compared with the morals
Of Confucius and other pagan philoso-
piers. The work was performed in
a most reverent spirit. it is said. A
resolution has been introduced in the
House providing for the publication Of
5000 fac smile copies of the original
work, for the benefit OF the members
of Congress. Should that proposition
fail, some member may possibly apply
for leave to print" the matter in the
