Nebraska too, We have hitherto called at
tention to the plain speaking of various Repub-
lican State conventions in favor of the Repub-
Hcan policy Of reciprocity with Cuba. \ num-
Der of important States have thus been heard
from within the last month or two. They nave
included some whose representatives in House
or Senate are Ieagued with the Sugar Trust
against that policy. thus cle1rly indicating that
in that respect those representatives do not
truly represent their constituents. Now. per
haps most significant of all Nebraska is added
TO the list
Nebraska is what is known as "beet sugar
State The beet sugar industry has been in
existence there for some years. and has there
attained magnitude surpassed in only two or
three other States. Nebraska stood second in
the list Of States drawing q bounty on beet
sugar in 1892 -93- -'94, thus in those years draw
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the
public purse. It is one of the States in which
at the present time beet sugar influence is
strongest, and where accordingly opposition TO
Cuban reciprocity might be supposed to be
strongest 1t is State whose representatives
in the Senate have been foremost in opposing
the Presidents policy. One might suppose that
those representatives were backed up by popu-
lar sentiment Let Us see what are the facts
in the case:
The Nebraska Republican State Convention
was in session this week, adiourning yesterday
morning. The question of Cuban reciprocity
was brought directly before it. in two ways,
bv the two Senators at Washington and by the
nlatform committee The Senators wrote the
convention a letter explaining their attitude
toward-or rather against-the Presidents
policy. The convention placed that letter upon
file without action or comment. The platform
committee reported a plank strongly approx
ing the Presidents reciprocity policy The
convention unanimously and enthusiastically
adopted that plank. Let US quote its precise
words:
We heartily Endorse the admfnistration of
/ President Theodore Roosevelt. We especial
| Iy commend the justice and wisdom of his
reciprocity policy with Cuba as embodied in
! his message Congress.
In the apt words of Hosea Bigelow, There you
hev it plain an fat" That is what the Republi-
cans of Nebraska think about it. That is what the
Republicans Of that 'beet sugar State" think
| about the Vaccinations of the Sugar Trust. That
| is what the Republicans of that Republican State
| think of the conduct of those who assume to
represent them at Washington. That is what
the farmers of Nebraska think about what the
| Boxers describe as the assassination of the
beet sugar industry Surely such utterances
ought 10 be needed by some men at Washing

! gressional Record" There is some handwriting
on some walls that should not need a prophet

PAIa ia.

So after all it is to be Panama, and not Mica
ragua. That was the decision of the Senate
yesterday-of that Senate in which the Mica
ragua route has long had one of its ablest
champions and certainly its most determined
and resourceful 1t is not improbable that the
House will coincide with the Senate's decision
and that the dispute of centuries will thus be
ended in accordance with yesterdays vote
Such a result will surprise nobody who has in
teIligently followed the course of recent events.
1t will diSappoint many and it will crafty
many; both of which things might be said
with equal truth if the decision were the
other way. What the final judgment Of the
nation upon it will be years hence it would be
foolish TO undertake to predict. There is ground
for hope that it will be favorable and there is
ground for fear that il may be unfavOrab BILE.
There can be no doubt that sentiment-and not
unreasoning sentiment, either-has been over
whelmingly upon the side OF Nicaragua, and
not only thus negatively but positively and
aggressively against Panama. But sentiment
was not TO decide the matter.
The Senate has voted to pass by the great
and indisputable advantages of Nicaragua for
the other and greater advantages which are
said to be offered at Panama. In so doing, OBJ
viously, heavy responsibility is incurred,
which we sincerely hope will be successfully
borne 1t will rest with the advocates of
Panama to prove that the many serious OBJ
jections TO their route were unfounded. One OF
those objections was that the Panama route
was urged not in good faith, but merely as
a device for killing the whole canal scheme.
This theory supported by the undenable
fact that among the loudest and most persistent
advocates of Panama have been some of the
most determined opponents of any isthmian
canal. They have said that it would be folly
and worse TO construct any such canal but
that if any were to be made it should be at
Panama. We shall now look TO the friends
of Panama prove by their works that they are
in earnest in desiring the construction of
canal, and that they are not mere marplots
Another objection was that Panama was q
verifable sink Of financial and political iniquity,
which it would be Gerilous for the United States

EQUALITY AND LABOR ryJOHS

The opinion Of Corporation Counsel Rives
that the city cannot Stipulate in contracts for
the employment Of union labor is unquestOn-
ably in harmony with good sense and good
morals, well good law. The wonder is
that anybody should deem it possible so to
discriminate between citizens The fact that
not only strong interests urge such stipula-
tions, but also that large numbers of people are
ready TO tolerate them as within the power
Of the city. is an impressive illustration of a
widespread miscOnception of the character of
our government.
The fundamental principle of our nation is
equality of citizens before the law Our DO
ltica organization, our federal system our
constitution, less essential than equality
in civil rights. Any government regulation
which discriminates between classes of citf-
zens, and says that only members of certain
private societies can be employed upon pub
lie works. is as much infringement of that
fundamental equality would be law that
a member of a labor union who committed
murder should be more lightly punished than a
"scab.' Indeed this country is not so far from
the erection of n privileged order of that sort
as might be thought. Thousands of persons
many of them intelligent, some of them high
public officials, are under the deusion that
member Of a labor union has a special privilege
in the matter of riOting and interfering with
the work of others.
Nobody who really grasped the idea Of
equality would ever dream Of complaining
when policemen militiamen Were sent to
protect property against violence by strikers
Yet many do this in the name Of liberty and
democracy. They charge that the government
is being used by the enemies of organized
labor and gives aid in breaking strikes. when
