Challenger of New Panama Canal
Company's Title Non-suited.
Washington, July 5.-State depart
ment officials are gratified at the &C
ton taken in the French courts in
non-suiting an applicant who sought
to challenge the soundness of the title
of the new Panama Canal company.
This is regarded as simplifying the
task the attorney general has under
taken of establishing the ability of the
present canal company to transfer
sound title. The French government
already has informed the state depart
ment of it's disposition to forward the
transfer, so that small legal techni-
calities may be swept away.

Boer War Summed Up.
NJ. A. Spaulding.

There isn't much doubt that the
end of the Boer war is in sight, but to
whom belongs the victory can not be
told till the peace terms are sigred.
1t has been war that lasted half a
century, for it began in 1852, when
Great Britain recognized the indepen.
dence OF the Transvaal republic, and
has been waged internationally and in
varying forms ever since.
Wise old Paul Kruger said that the
price Of the war would Stagger
humanity. It has. Up to date Eng
land has paid out for war expenses
about Sis, 0o0, 900, and the cost is now
more than s22, 900, 900 a month. At
best it will be known as the billion
dollar war, which is a high price for
bit of territory that England did
not need.
But money isn't so much. If war
was only a bloodless matter OF dollars
the interest w0nld quickly die out of
the affairs Of Great Britain and South
Africa. 1t has been a bloody war. 1t
has Tiled two countries with weeping
widows; aud fatherless children. 1t
has been heartleSs war of distraction
where the only means of defeating the
enemy has often been to make war on
his family. It has been a war of
starvation and desperation, and tears
and groanS. On the Boer side there
has been Spartan courage and suffer
| ing that can not be told in statistics.
Just how bad the situation has been
Can never be known.
England has shed her best blood, too.
Hate the English, if you will, but you
can not help admiring their courage.
Men with So-called blue blood in their
veins, men bearing ancient names and
high-Sounding titles have fought and
endured the same hardShips that fell
to the rank and file, and it is said
there is scarcely an ancestral home in
England that does not display mourn
ing for son or a father.
The British lost q, 299 officers and
men up to January last, while 81, 33C
were invaded home. Most OF them
are battered wrecks. They have lost
legs and arms. They are marked by
scars, or weakened by disease and few
of them will ever DE able to again
take up arms for their country.
England holds $4,000 Beer prisoners
and it is not believed that there are
now more than $4,000 Beers under
arms.
Such is the price OF ambition, and it
has staggered humanity and put
burdens of sorrow and suffering on
shoulders that are ill-fitted to bear
them.-KanSaS City World.

J. Pierpont Morgan has succeeded in
effecting the biggest steamship COM
bination in the worlds history, bring
ing into close working agreement six
of the leading Anglo-American lines
to which are to be added as friendly
and harmonious to the arrangement
two Of the great German lines, the
whole creating a virtual merger OF
interests and the assurance of eS-
tabliShed rates. 1t is understood that
an American company will be formed,
having an initial capitalization OF
$3.50, 900, 900, for the purpose of con-
trolling the great steamship lines now
under Mr.. Morgans control. This
company will serve as a holding
company, just as the United States
Steel Corporation acts as q holding
company to the various steel and iron
corporations which it controls through
an ownership of stock. By this great
coup the control of the great ocean
steamship lines will be placed abSo.
lutely under American control. The
ownership of the English lines will be
transferred to America, but the state
ment is authoritatively made that
those vessels that now fly the British
flag will continue to do so for the
reason that all the English companies
are obtaining subsidies from the
English government,

Reeder speaks Ags,a.

To all of tbose proud republicans
WHO are 50 highly pleased with the re-
nomination Of ". A. Reeder his
speech OF acceptance will read like a
classic. They will no doubt clip 1T
from the papers and file it away to
take a place with Webster's and Ciay's
best efforts. We reproduce it as
reported by two different pa perS, both
of which support Reeder editorialiy-
This is from the Topeka Herald
In his speech OF acceptance Mr..
Reeder said:
This is a great district. We arc
the people out here. ne are not
hrawn out here, we are brain. The
East recognizes that and is looking 10
US out here. We live in a section of
the country that has the highest per-
centage of intelligence in the world.
OF the Sixth district, right here in
this hall, we find it exemplided.
Fully one-balf if not two-thirdS of the
men in this audience are as capable as
I am TO represent this district"
Here the convention broke into
smiles, but the Congressman added:
.'This is wonderful thing to say and
it can't be said of any other con-
stitucncy in the country"
The convention reared. Mr.. Reeder
continued: This district is in
terested in pensions and irrigation,
and l have bills which will suit you.
I got my idea of a pension from a
Beloit drayman. I can recognize an
idea, no matter where see it. and I
always utilize it, no matter where it
comes from. The drayman's idea was
good. If you people have any ideas,
don't neglect to make them known"
And this is the State Journalists
version of the speech:
''Bilr' Reeder will return to congress
for another term from the Sixth
district under the promise Of his
manager, John Q. Royce, that he will
make no more speeches on the floor of
| the house for his constituents to
criticise, but he made one in accept
ing the nomination.
that this district is interested in that
1 shall work for in congress. " said
Congressman Reeder. 81 shall look
after pensions and irrigation. " Reeder
has bill to have arteSian wells ali
over the Sixth district for irrigating
purposes. "This idea was given me
by q drayman in Beloit," said the
congressman. "Now if you want any
thing just write me in Washington.
If one letter is not enough write me
two. If it is in Washington I will
send it to you" Then he handed a
large bouquet to the convention.
''This is great district, " said Reeder.
1--WE are the people out here. We
are not Drawn, we are brains. This
district is the highest in intelligence
Of any in the United States. Fully
onc-half if not two-thirds of the men
in this convention are as capable as
am to represent this district. 1 am
physically able to do the work" The
anti-delegates heartily agreed with
the statement that there were plenty
OF people as able as the speaker,
Reeder, after all, was almost a fig
urehe&d with the politicians. 1t was
not Reeder in congress that those
wanted who supported him, it was
patronage and postof1ces. They re-
ceiyed promises and the votes were
delivered.
