London, Jan. 25.-The report of the
isthmian canal commission at Washington
flvoring the acceptance Of the offer Of the
Panama Canal company to sell its prop
erty and rights to the United States for
S4O,O00,0O0 caused some comment here.
The Saturday Review says:
The Americans can do one thing to
perfection they can drive hard b1rgain.
The sufferer on this occasion il France,
which was completely hoodwinked by The
American bluff. The Panama directors
have agreed to sell their rights for $40.

at the proposal. The Americans have
made very good bargain, better perhaps

Freight and Passenger Collide.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 27.-At Logan as
the eastbound passenger was pulling into
the depot special eastbound freight ran
into the passenger, striking two sleeping
cars and knocking them off the track,
one sleeper being driven almost on to the
platform. The freight engine was slightly
injured. The strange part of the accident
was that no one was injured
Both trains were coming into the Logan
depot on almost parallel lines, but fortu-
nately both were running slowly. The en-
gineer Of the freight train claimed the lr
brakes would not work properly. With
the exception of the two sleepers being
rather badly smashed and some slight
damage to the freight engine, little harm
was done.

The First Dsclsratlon o Independence

Not every student of American
history is aware that the Declare
ton of Independence signed at
Philadelphia on July 4, l776, glo-
rious old document that it is, can
not claim to be the first express
sion by American people of revolt
against British rule. The first
Declaration of Independence was
put forth more than year before
the immortal second, and its birth
place was the little town of Char

Carolina. The two Carolinas were
settled largely by strenuous folk
refugees from religious persecus

lowers of Knox and Calvin. Cove

The Grand Rivers furnaces are
again closed down.
The last experiment 10y st, Lou

thousands of dollars in iron ore

as the successful manufacture OF

Grated has been blown out. The
future Of the iron industry there
now may only be speculated.
1t is stated, however. that both
the furnaces will be blown in as
soon as the projected railroad is
built from the ore lands between
the rivers to the furnaces. This
would ourtail the expense OF hand

be supplied as rapidly as needed.
There is nothing definite rs to

thing interesting about this part
of the furnace plant is that the
charcoal furnace consumed all the
timber that grew on eight acres OF
land every day that il ran.

a high tribute to our next con-
gressman:
collie James, the Democratic
candidate for congress in the Pa
ducah, Kentucky, district, is a
splendid illustration of what a
young man with ability, integrity
and moral courage can accom-.
plish. Although but thirty years
old Mr.. James has become a con-
spicuous figure in the politics of
his state, and he is now entering
the arena of national politics, his
nomination in that strongly Dem.
ocratic district being equivalent to
an election.
"Mr. James rise began in the
great inter-party contest which
preceded the convention of 1896,
When some of the older leaders
allowed the bankers and corpora.
tons to draw them away from the
masses. Mr. James stepped to the
front and espoused the cause Of
the people; and so answering has
been his devotion to public inter.
ests and 80 valiant has been his
service that he has now been Sc.
lected to champion the peoples
rights in the Federal legisla.
ture.
"The fact of Mr.. James receiv.
ing and accepting an invitation to
speak at the Nebraska state con
vention held at Grand Island JUNE
"a, indicates that this KentuckN
orator is already in demand out
side Of his home state. Mr.. James
