being new question. Congress and the
country both have heard a great deal about
the two routes proposed. Nicaragua had
the field to itself until four months ago, but
Panama which then entered the contest, Is
still handicapped by disputed title. Not
half dozen lawyers In the Senate have
examined Panama's title. What is to be
gained by protracted debate therefore but
postpenement The proposition to leave
the choice OF the route to the President
smacks strongly of delay, and the Senate is
reminded from several quarters that It
ought not to shirk plain duty.
Why should Congress hurry away? June,
as rule, Is not hot month in Washing
ton. The Capitol is comfortable building
In all seasons. Public servants should give
full time to the public business. Seven
weeks must roll around before the Fourth of
July rears it's blistering head and makes
people feel little tired; and those weeks,
properly employed by Congress-, will give
the country all the legislation it now is de-
manding.

Cuba and the Canal Bill,

Why should there be contest In the
Senate between the Cuban bill and the 18TH
milan canal bill? Why may not both bills
Is upon US? Neither should provoke pro-
loEged discussion. Both are important The
country expects action on both. and action
ought to be taken If either bill fails to
become law at this session there will be
widespread disappointment.
When the Cuban bill reached the Senate
4. was accompanied by the two objections
which had been urged against it in the
House: Cd That cut of 20 per cent on
Cuban sugar would injure the beet sugar
industry in the United States. and CO. that
the sugar trust alone would benefit As
to the first objection the Senate committee
investigating the subject has been informed,
aS was the House. that there Is nothing
whatever in 1t: and as to the second objec-
tion II has been conclusively shown that
the sugar trust would not benefit at all by
any terms Congress has been asked to grant
to Cuba. What Is the text therefore for a
protracted debate? If Cuban sugar can be
admitted to our market at a special rate,
and Cuba and the United States both be
benefited. why not make the arrangement
promptly and In a very few words?
The tsthmian canal question does not
easily lend itself at this late day to pro-
tracted congressional discussion of an illu-
minating character. 1t is very far from

The Coal Strike.

The decision by the coal miners to make
the temporary strike permanent was by no
means unanimous, but it binds the whole
hard-coal region In a strike which may last
for many weeks. 1t remains for the next
few days to disclose whether the mines are
to be absolutely crippled by the withdrawal
of the engineers, fremen and pumpmen,
whose departure would cause the mines to
fill with water, entailing enormous losses
upon the operators If the pumping force
were not Immediately replaced. 1t seems
probable that If these employees are called
out the union will take measures to prevent
the employment Of substitutes, if possible,
and on that point may come the first clash
of the forces. The filling of the mines
would ultimately affect even the strikers If
later they should decide to return to work
and We're received, for it might be many
weeks after the resumption Of friendly re-
lations between the operators and employees
before the mines could be prepared for use.
The same danger was presented in the
strike of the miners Of the Occur d'AIene
region in Idaho several years ago. Only
through the determined opposition of an
army officer who was stationed there with
company to protect life and property"
were the pumpmen prevented from leaving
the mines under union pressure. When
work was later resumed 1t was found that
this action had saved many hundreds of
thousands of dollars and had spared the
strikers from prolonged lay-off.
The strike thus precipitated appears to be
founded upon most stubborn disagreement
between the miners and the operators. The
latter have refused to make any conces-
sions whatever and seem to be bent upon
breaking the power Of the union which
they We're forced to recognize when the
previous strike was settled. On such a
basis the struggle is likely to be severe and
prolonged The public now is concerned
lest it spread to other lines of coal mining
and other industries. There are reasons for
fearing that this may happen, and mean
while there is a heavy responsibility resting
on the strike leaders for the preservation Of
order in the anthracite region, where con-
ditions usually favor disturbances.

The Situation in Mindanao.

The absence of news from that quarter
for several days past leads to the hope that
our troubles in Mindanao have been settle
or are in process of settlement Such at
any rate should be our wish Every effort
should be. made to bring the Moros to a
clear understanding of our purposes toward
them, and convince them that their inter-
ests no less than our own call for peace
ana good will. The start We made with
them was excellent. but General Davis, in
the statements of his views. purposes and
general policy which preceded his recent
move. seemed to be indiscreet and strife
provoking and to put in peril much that
had been gained If therefore procedure on
the line suggested by him has been checked
and something of the former confidence re-
stored, We may an properly feel a sense of
qualification.
VI course. wherever force is absolutely
necessary there is but one way to employ
it. An army in motion which is not dead
IN earnest is poor organizat ton. When it
strikes it must strike to kill or capture
and the sooner its task is executed the
better. But there is no need to strike in
the Philippines now for the purpose of prov
ing either our valor or our enterprise The
difference between Spain and America in
asserting sovereignty in the archipelago
mas been so well illustrated that the natives
as rule are pretty well convinced of our
quality and have little stomach for chal-
longing 1t. Some scattered bands in the
forests and mountains are holding out
against us, but our army in the main is
Keeping the peace without firing a gun. and
that condition of affairs should everywhere
be encouraged.
The outbreak in the House on the subject
of the conduct of the army in the Philip
pines Is unimportant, but at the same time
1t is to be deplored. Not the army, but its
assailants. will be injured. The Senate de-
bates and the Senate's Investigation of
charges of cruelty against the army have
made that matter very plain. and at the
same time cleared the skirts of the admin
istration of the charge that it was trying
to cover up a damaging record. We know
now that the cases of torture by the water
cure have been comparatively few and none
fatal. and that the administration has
moved promptly in putting the seal of it's
condemnation on all practices in the least
out of line with warlike procedure as we
know it here at home. The army as a
whole has acted admirably, and the promo
tons bestowed upon its officers have been
fully merited. There are no votes in abuse
of the army, as certain politicians are likely
to discover next November. The blue uni
form and the stars and stripes stand for
the whole country today

Nixon and the Tiger Part Company

Lewis Nixon has let go his hold on Tam
many. 1t was never a very strong hold,
and his separation from the machine was
but a question of time and circumstance.
His charges that ever since his appoint
ment as Cookers successor he has been
hampered by secret communications be-
tween New York and Vantage put a new
phase upon the case. The truth, according
to Nixon, is that Croker never really re-
linuuished his control of Tammany, but
sought to rule through him without per-
hitting him to know it, a charge which
Croker denies by cable with show of
virtuous indignation. II that were the
case in fact Nixon was indeed in an awk-
ward predicamcnt. Having no real power
he was accused by the anti-Croker faction
with merely representing Croker When he
tried to fight that faction according to his
own judgment he had to battle not only
against the solidifying ranks of the poppo-
sition. but against the manipulations Of the
absent boss.
Nixon's retirement from the machine
means that Tammany has lost chance to
redeem itself. He is a man of good mo-
tives, clean life and great energy. Had he
been untrammeled in his leadership and
had he secured the implicit obedience of
the organization he might have accom-

Canal Calamity Howlers,

Opposition to the Nicaragua canal route,
in view of the volcanic eruptions in the
French West Indies, fully 400 miles away

build the canal across the Isthmus of Pan.

Nicaragua because there have been vol-
canic eruptions. why stop there? We would
better let the boiling springs and geysers
of Yellowstone Park alone and insist on
restoring the eruptive curiosites Of Hawaii

public to shun the railroads from New
York to New England and go to Boston by
the outside route?

plished something for New York's welfare.
But the hypothesis upon which his success
Is predicated assumes great deal Tam
many has for practically its entire career
stood for corruption and spoils the very
antithesis of what Nixon. according to his
public declarations and his private charac-
ter, would have sought to make of it.
Therein lies one Of the anomalies of Tam
many. 1t contains hundreds of men who
do not countenance It's dishonest methods
and its dangerous principles, but who re-
serving the right to lead honest lives them
selves. do not hesitate to ally themselves
with it because it has been the dominant
power in municipal affairs from time to
time. Their presence in the organization is
to be justified only by cemplacent and
convenient conscience.
Now that Nixon is out the hght in Tam
many will evidently come between the
Crokerites, who have found Nixon an I'M
available tool and the anti-Crokerites,
whose spokesman. Carroll, declares for an
elimination of the boss He wants Tam
many to run itself through it's district lead
ers. That sounds well, but will hardly
work. 1t is certain that one Of those lead
ers, more capable. more ambitious or less
scrupulous than the others, will steadily
seek to acquire dominant power over the
whole body. In an organization like Tam
many, dependent upon the blind obedience
of followers who have been trained in the
past to accept without demur the dictates
of the subordinate captains. it is inevitable
that some one man should set himself up
as the prime authority. Whether openly ac-
knowledged as such or not by the organiza-
ton, as long as Tammany Hall exists there
will be one man who, above all others, will
be regarded the master of the tiger by
the voters both obedent to it and opposed
to it.
