One of the most memorable debates
that have taken place in Congress for
years was that in the senate last week
in which Senators Hoar and German
criticised the a ADMINISTRATION with re-
ference to its conduct in the recogni.
tion of the Republic of Panama, and
Senator Foraker defended the course
of the President. The debate was
memorable in that the Massachusetts,
senator again took issue with his part,
on national matter and from the
further fact that both he and Senator
German attempted t, curtall morally
at least, the prerogative of the Presi-
dent. Senior Hear wanted info1ma-
ton as to the status of the de faeto
government of Panama when it was
recognized by the Washington govern
ment. On this occasion he placed
himself in very unenviable position.
He wanted the canal built by the
present Republican administration,
and by American enterprise but he
wanted string to all this, an the
differences to be drawn from his
speech were that the President had
used some state chicanery to &C.
compish the results already obtained.
John Quincy Adams, who once repre-
scented the state which has honor ed
Senator Hoar, in discussing message.
of President Jefferson, VINO was his
bitter political enemy said that he be-
lieved what the message said because
the President had stated it upon his
nnigh honor. Tie American people
believe, even though Senator Hoar
and Senator German choose to think
otherwise, that the men who have
filled the exalted position of chief exc
scutive of the nation are not ward
~ Dol iticians, and that they rise above
the small practice of scheming politi.
clans. The President has acted with
vigor and without Quibbling and
it may grind some of those who car
refer to their third of a century exper
fence in the halls of congress to b
compelled to endorse such course

The Plaindealer takes exception to
a recent editorial in this paper COM
mandatory of one in the Plaindealer
in which it was stated that the
trouble with the democratic party, is
that it has been one of obstruction
and objection. The gnat at which the
Plaindealer strains is the fact that
this paper never finds anything good
in the Democratic party. In large
measure that Indictment is tue. If
there were more good in the principles
Of government as taught and believed
by the Democratic party than in those
regarded as the fundamental laws of
national administration by the Repub-
lican party, the man who would not
be Democrat would be fool. The
history of the Democratic party, how
ever. has been tnat every important
policy which ha, at any time been ad-
vocated by the Republican party has
been either openly or incidentally en-
dorsed by the Democrats. While the
very measure advocated by the latter
party has either been abandoned by it,
or been loven to have been mere
fa1lacy. THESE things have driven
the leaders of that party from pillar
to post, until it has nothing left ex-
cept policy of objection. 1t has fail
