CoLUMBIA's constitution, it is said, for
bids the alienation Of any of that coun-
try's territory, and therefore the United
States cannot get that perpetual lease OF
land through which the Panama canal
would pass ifw should build it. But
what is constitution in such a country
as Columbia? Such little impediment
as that is never allowed by president Of
country Of that sort to stand in the way
ofhis wishes. II the president of that
country feels like doing it, he can grant
the perpetual lease, no matter what the
constitution says. Moreover, constitu-
tions are easily pulled down and set up
in most of South America.

IT is figured out that according to the
vote cast for Pattison at the late election
there will be 43G delegates in the next
Democratic State convention. This will
be an increase Of ll9 over the number in
the last convention. Nearly one-h half the
increase is in Philadelphia alone, which
will have seventy-one delegates, about
which there will be no such dispute as
there was in the last convention. Lack
awanna gets less than one-half the num-
Der Of delegates it would have if all the
votes for Pattison had been cast in the
Democratic column. A. seats in the
party State convention are about the only
honors the Democrats Of Pennsylvania
can look forward to the increase in their
number is a matter of interest.

The President speaks wisely on the

The Combination Word That Opened
Commodore vanderbiIt's Safe.
According to all the traditions, Com
modore Vanderbilt, who laid the foun-
dation Of the family wealth that has
become proverbial, was man without
education, knowing little Of the "three
RS" and lamentably weak on spelling.
He kept to himself the word on which
the combination Of the Office safe was
based until sudden sickness prevented
his appearing one morning and it be-
came necessary to transfer the secret
in order that the days work might be
done without let or hindrance.
The bookkeeper sent to the commo-
dore's house for the word key and re-
ceived reply that dog" was the neces-
sary word. But every effort to re-
lease the bolts on the dog combina-
ton failed, and it was necessary to
send again to the Vanderbilt home in
fear that the old fnancier might have
made a thoughtless mistake. But the
messenger was speedily convinced that
the mistake was somebody else's when
the irascible commodore roared at
him: "'Dog,' you dog! Dog" Con-
found you all for lot Of zanies! Go
back-go back to the Office and open
that safe on 'dog'-'d-o-r-g-e,' dog!

The Elects OF ARTILLERY.

It has long been a commonplace that
the effects Of artillery are mainly
moral" but for all that the inroduc-
don Of new explosives, lyddite espe-
cially, and Of quicker firing guns bad
insensibly revived the belief in the
great material value Of artillery. It
would be gratuitous to say that ardl-
lery has had a great downfall in gen.
eral estimation-among those who
have always taken a sane view of its
uses we do not think it has-but we
may fairly say that relatively to artil-
lery the rife has gained in reputation.
We know now that lyddite, although
it may make short work Of mahdrs
tomb, is Of little use against earth
works, especially when it falls on very
soft ground, and that the stories Of
men whose senses left them and whose
teeth shook in their heads because they
happened to be within q quarter Of a
mile Of an explosion Of lyddite were
mere moonshine.-Spectator.

Queen Victorla's Way.

The queens interest in and oversight
of public affairs did not cease with the
princes death, although In the first
years Of overwhelming sorrow it must
have been difficult to carry out her con-
ception Of duty. All important resolu'
tons were taken by her; the personal
notes in The Court Circular were writ
ten by her own hand and were seen by
no one else. When Sir Henry Ponsonby
became the queens private secretary
she said to him: Remember this, no
advice! I am older than you are and
have had more experience" In after
years historians will have much to say
upon the queens personal share In the
government Of her dominions. AL her
papers have been most carefully pre-
served and arranged and some day,
perhaps, will be accessible to the In
ouirer. On the other hand there IS not
