DEBATE BEGINS
On Nicaraguan Canal Bill--Mr,
Hepburn Leads off.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE debate on
the Nicaragua Canal Bill inthe House
was opened in lively fashion to-day
by Mr.. Hepburn, the chairman OF the
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committe, which reported the bill.
For two hours he held the foor, re-
plying to volley of questions con-
corning the recent offer Of the Panama
Canal Company to sell Its property
and franchises to the United States
for $40, 600, 900. The interest In the
debate centered almost entirely in this
new phase of the subject. Mr.. Hep
burn maintained that the alleged new
offer OF the Panama Company was
part of the plan OF delay. All his ut
terances along that line were literally
spplauded. He pointed out what he
claimed was the suspicious circum
stances that the Panama Company
had held out for $Too. 900, 900 until II
was decided before the holiday recess
to consider the Nicaragua Bill. and
then suddenly dropped the price to
$40, 900, ooo.
Mr., Morris(Minn) gave notice that
at the proper time he would offer an
amendment to authorize the Presi-
dent, If he could procure the proper
ty and rights of the Panama. Comps-
ny for $40. 900, 900, If concession could
be procured from Columbia and If the
Walker commission so recommended,
to purchase and proceed to complete
the Panama Canal.
Referring to the efforts OF the Pana-
ma Canal Company to build canal
by private enterprise, Mr.. Hepburn
summed up their efforts as follows:
1.-THE company raised S2s6, 600, 900
by the sale of s43s. 900, 600 of bonds,
and after eight years the managers OF
the company found themselves with
the work less than one-fourth COM
pleted, penniless and bankrupt in
money and character"
The disaster to the company, he
said, proved couclusively that the
work should be undertaken by gov
einmental agency.
There was not an atom of work In
general engineering, said he, yet to
be done. In favor OF the feasibility
and practicability, no enterprise that
had ever received the attention of men
had been so conclusively proved. If
the pending bill became a law the
work could begin at once and should
be completed in eight years.
In concluding Mr.. Hepburn said
there might be some interests in the
United States which believed they
would be harmed by the rivalry OF
this canal, and there were gentlemen
of honest purpose who thought the
time was no: ripe for the building of
canal or that an enterprise OF such
magnitude should not be undertaken.
They were perhaps terrified by the
spectre of scandal.
But" he continued. al insist
that the American people have made
their decree that the canal shall be
built. and that now is the time to
build it."

DIR NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

Mr.. james DeWeese, our Superin-
tendent-elect, took charge of the Of
fee of School Superintendent Mon
day. Mr.. DeWeese is a bright,
scholarly young man, in a rough and
stormy position. He is unfortunately
in the poorest Office IN the county,
does more hard work, contends with
more people, has more difficult ques-
tions to adjust, gets more "cuisngs'
and less pay than any other official in
the county. Everybody expects ia
vors at the hands Of the Superintend-
ent and when they don't come as
sbundantly as desired, or just as or
dered, the Superintendent is a bigot
and incompetent and ought to be re-
moved from office. This is the way
the disappointed fellows sees the ac-
commodating, genial, generous man
who fills the Office of Superintendent
discreetly and conscientiously. The
Trustee question, the change OF boun-
diaries of districts; the making of new
and dividing the old districts; the
building Of new houses; the examina-
tions; the woes and tales of sorrow
poured in upon the Superintendent on
the day OF examinations; the gratis
abuses after examinations, these are
onerous burdens for the Superintend-
emit which he can neither deny nor
dodge.
But, whilst there are many un-
pleasant features to the work, and the
official path is not strewn with choic-
est flowers, nor his pillow blessed with
sweetest rest, it is great pleasure to
be privileged to associate with the
teachers of the county, for they are,
indeed, the cream of our citizenship,
the very best, choicest society. As a
rule the teachers are noble, upright
and agreeable. few of the ignoble
slip into the profession.
We sincerely hope that SuperiD-
tendent Dew ese will guard the trust
confded carefully, zealously, faith
fully, as we believe he will, knowing
neither friends nor foes, dealing
righteously with all who may come
hither with official business.
Notwithstand the unpleasantness OF
the work, the poor pay and the per-
picking and difficult questions he must
confront, the office OF School Superin-
tendent is the most responsible posi-
ton in the county. The education of
the community Is IN the hands of the
Superintendent. 1t is the lot of Mr..
DeWeese to say who shall constitute
his corps Of teachers, and who shall
not. Many will apply who are unfit
for the work. IT'S the Superintend-
ent to say no. From the sheep the
goats must be driven.
Superintendent DeWeese, enter
upon the duties of your office deter
mined to serve all alike and you will
come out with the same traits OF
character you now possess-spotless
and unblemished, as it is.

THE COMMERCIAL TRIBUNE;
CALEB POWERS CASE

The Commercial Tribune, Cincin-
natl, Ohio, is engaged in about the
noblest work that great daily could
choose, in raising Defense Fund for
Caleb Powers. That trial of Dray-
fus, in France, shocked the civilized
world. The trial was a farce, a mock
cry of justice and ranking conspir-
acy of malice hearted villlans-souls
of purified prejudice, who sought
to destroy his good name and along
with it, his reputation and freedom.
So wretched we're the proceedings of
the court, so infamous was the pur-
pose, that M. lola, a distinguished
writer, took up and aired the vicious
ness of the court, which resulted in
the viDdication and liberty of Drey-
tus.
Caleb Powers has been indicted as
an accessory before the fact to the
murder of VIM. Goebel. He has
been accorded two of the most farci-
cal, the most inhuman, prejudiced
and unfair trials recorded in history.
In these trials but two things have
been established. He has been found
guilty of Republicanism, it has been
proven beyond a doubt that he was
actually elected Secretary of State, of
which he has been deprived by judi
cial and political burglary.
In his recent trial, he made affidav-
it that Judge Cantrill was prejudiced
against him, that be could not and
would not be granted fair trial, and
therefore prayed the Judge to vacate
the bench, which he refused to do,
and proceeded straight forward to
conviction and life sentence in the
penitentiary. The case is being pre-
pared for new hearing before the
Court of Appeals, which will I'M
guestionably reverse the lower court,
and ought, at least, tread the riot
act" to the Savior of Kentucky De
mocracy-Judge Jas. E Cantrill.

Powers, on trial for his life, filed the
affidavit required by the Kentucky
statutes and alleged prejudice on the
part of Judge Cantrill, that Judge
promptly directed the trial to proceed
and it did, to conviction and life
sentence in the penitentiary.
