EDITORIAL OPINION
Payment Of Panama canal.

From the New York Herald.
The State Department is officially adj
vised that the Republic Of Panama
has been the example Of the other
great Powers and from the isthmus
comes news that the Colombian forces
which were supposed to mediate an
invasion are disbandingl
II is useless to oppose the inevitable
Colombia must acquiesce in the estab-
lishment OF the new nation and tho
transfer of the Panama canal without
her consent TO the United States.
Whether the American people shall de-
eide that the Washington administra-
tion has acted well or ~ in the matter
il Is q question for them to decide.
Colombia IN rejecting the proffered
treaty has lost her State and the S10,-
100000 this country was willing to pay
her in addition to yearly rentals. but
II would only seem fair that Panama
should assume its share OF the debts
Of the republic from which it has sep
arated.

DOES Ir MEAN WAR;

II begins TO look like war between
Russia and Japan. One OF the most
significant facts pointing in that di-
rectlon Is that both have given large
orders for provisions to American pack
ing houses. The Japanese parliament
has voted to allow the government to
pledge the credit Of the country TO an
unlimited extent. and according to the
reports from reliable correspondents
both countries are bending all their
energies to getting their fleets ready
for action and are preparing 10 take the
field with large forces.
or course all the civilized world
breads clash OF arms between these
two great countries--for Japan mus,
be regarded in that class. But tho situ-
alton IN the far East has long been
troublesome and is fast gros ing in
tolerable. Russia coolly watched the
outcome Of the war between China and
Japan. and when the latter had con-
quered peace. Russia coolly stepped
in and appropriated whatever Japan
was entitled to by reason OF her VIC
tory. Once in possession Of Port Ar
thur and in control OF Manchurla she
has used her foothold as basis for
further aggressIons. Manchuria has
now become Russian territory, and
Korea and China win be exploited next.
unless Japan shall show her power to
place checks on the Muscovite advance.
II is now or never. when her war
with China was ended she was no,
strong enough TO break with Russia.
but she has been industrlously at work
ever since preparing for what she has
regarded as the inevitable. She has
well-drilled army supplied withmod
arms, and ofiicered by trained soldiers
She has built up her navy until she
practically equals Russia as a sea
power. She has husbanded her re-
sources and her credit is good. It is
reasonable to suppose that in the event
OF hostilities she win give a good ac-
count Of herself. The Japanese troops
sent to relieve the besIeged legations at
PekIn won the admiration OF tho Off
GERS representing all the countries
They were intelligent. active ana al
ways ready for desperate work. They
may now be called upon to check the
Russian advance. and Il so It will be
no holiday parade.
Japan win fight alone. and It is a
fight for her existence. Russia infu-
ence, like mighty glacier. presses on.
inch by inch. never hating. never
deviating: and Japan knows that what
has happened to Manchuria may hap
pen to Korea. And then Japan and
China would finally yield to the influ-
ence. A few years ago we talked of
the partitioning OF China. but that does
not represent Russian policy: Russia, il
