THE RESENT STATUS OF THE CANAL.

Congress has authorized the President acquire all

Panama company of France including the capital stock
held in the Panama Railroad company for $4QO00000 if
he secure satisfactory title He is also authorized
to acquire from the republic of Columbia perpetual
troll strip of territory less than six miles wide
which the United States shall have absolute
troll and he shall then, through canal commission com
plete the construction of the Panama canal.
All this is very simple paper, but many have grave
doubts that the Panama Canal company transfer
title to the nUited States, and Columbia there
seems to be legislature there to grant the desired
concession.

SENATOR eAlLgYs CODE OF HONOR.

In the code of honah, sub" which Col Bailey
brings with him from Texas the word unwarranted is
passed between gentlemen except the signal fol
mortal combat assault and battery. The New York
World discussing the matter, says:
According the standard dictionaries unwarranted
is fairly inoensive word well within the rules Of free
parliamentary debate. They define it without war
rant authority guarntee justfable; unjust i'm
proper Presumably the Texan Senator has special
dictionary of HIS and defines unwarranted the
equivalent of lying; false; mendacous.
ITO doubt any statement made by q Texn gentleman
is Of properly punishable with death unlees there
large extenuatng circumstances-such that the
statement could POSSIBLY be Still something
should be discounted for Senatorial coutesys I'm
fortunate gentlemen like Senator Beverage of Indiana
from where the standard dictionaries in general
ought held the full rgors OF the special
Texan lighting vocabulary.
There is Of course touching simplicity about the
code of honah that sofens and human inter
the barrooms of the throbbng and thirsty South
west But the belcose Bailey will be wise to give it
liberal interpretation among his colleagues at Washing
ton Because speak seriously the Bully Brooks bust
is half century behind the times and the
sumption that Senator may question Bailey state
and remain unsain unassulted is not likely to
prevail at the capital of a civilized nation"
