81 am much gratified to receive the
letters whereby you are accredited to
the government of the United States
in the capacity of envoy extraordi-
nary and minister plenipotentiary Of
the republic of Panama." said Presi-
dent Roosevelt to M. Bunau- Varilla,
as this representative of the infant
republic of Panama was presented to
him in the White House by Secretary
Hay. In the words of the new minis
ter, the President thus admitted 'into
the family of nations the weakest
and the last-born of the republics of
the new world". Panama is now a
sovereign state in the eyes of our
government, and it will not be long
before we take up negotiations with
it, for the construction of the canal.
Colombian troops are said to be
hurrying to the isthmus to punish the
TRAITORS, but our government will
not permit them to land at either
Panama or Colon, and may inform the
Colombian government that any
hostilities even in the remotest vicin-
ity of the Panama railroad will not
be permitted by this government.
This would make the suppression of
the revolution very difficult, if not
absolutely impossible. In fact, friends
of the new republic can be now GER
tain that it's national existence is
guaranteed by this country.

Nearly every Maine man who has
the welfare of his State at heart will
commend the manly utterances of
Representative Edwin G. Burleigh of
the third Maine congressional district
when he says he will not be a candi-
date for United States senator against
Senator Hale before the legislature of
1905. The words are well placed and
will bear very much weight with the
public.
Take him for all in all, Mr.. Burleigh
must be counted in the very front
rank of Maine politicians. In the
first place, he has the reputation of
getting whatever he goes after, which
Is a very good reputation to have.
He has also been in the public eye for
a long time, and those who study his
record longest find therein the most
to admire. He is man who wears
well, person who does not shrink or
change color in washing.
Had it not been for the unwearying
labors of Edwin G. Burleigh, Maine
would have had only three represen-
tatiyes in Congress to day instead of
the four which we now have. Had 1t
not been for the tact and kindly
dissensions would have arisen and
much harm would have been done.
And his reasons are cogent and
sound, and of a character TO win
friends among the people at large.
Owing to their long terms OF service
in the upper branch, and TO their
knowledge of what Maine people
want, and to their ability to secure
these wants with the least delay
and trouble, both Senators Frye and
Hale have gained an ascendency
in the councils of the nation such
as few other men ever held, and
such as no man can hope 60 hold
until he has served long and become
familiar with legislative methods.
For these reasons Mr.. Burieigh
gives US to understand that he shall
not oppose the re- election of either
senator so long as he lives, and Is
willing to fill the position he holds.
In making this open statement we
believe Mr. Burleigh gives voice TO
the prevailing sentiment in Maine, a
sentiment which is not confined to
the republican party, but which per-
yades business circles all over the
State. The admitted strength of Mr..
Burleigh in his party, his proved and
proyable power TO control votes and
70 win friends, and his voluntary
abatement made months in advance
of any possible contest for the high
plaee-aH these facts will tend 10 en-
dear him to the people and to mem
bers OF his party, and viii give alm

Much comment has been aroused
by the publication of that part of the
Presidents regular message to Con-
gress which related to the canal nego-
tiations. 1t was written before the
revolution in Panama and has now
been cut out of the message. The
President says: "High authorities
on international law hold that the
canal can be dug as an incident to ex =
ercising the power to prevent the OBJ
struction of traffic across the 18TH
mus" After stating that in his judg-
ment /; is time to declare that the
building of the canal cannot be much
longer delayed, he continues: sit
seems evident that in a matter such
as this we should finally decide which
is the best route, and if the advantages
of this route over any other possible
route are sufficiently marked, we
should then give notice that we can
no longer submit to trifiing or insin-
cere dealing on the pert of those
whom the accident of possession has
placed in temporary control of the
ground through which the route must
pass" He ends by declaring that If
the possessors of the territory fail TO
come to Straightforward agreement
with us, 1--WE must forthwith take the
matter into our own hands,"

The honor and responsibility placed
upon the shoulders of our Senator
Hale, which he has reluctantly ac-
cepted, that of being the chairman of
the committee on committees in the
Senate are deserved and WELL placed.
Probably no man in the Senate can
better dispose of the ambitions and
anxieties for place of his colleagues
than can our senator. By the way,
this selection again emphasizes the
important influence exerted in the ma
tional Senate by the Maine men,
Portland Express.

FROM BAR HARBoR.
Dispute Between Coal Dealers and
Transfers Settled in Favor of
r. rrner.

Dispute Between Coal Dealers and
Transfers Settled in Favor of
Former.
The arbitrator appointed to settle the
dispute between the coal dealers OF Bar
asrbor and their tesmsters have an
nounced their decision, which is in favor
of the coal dealers contention.
Some time ago the dealers teamsters
asked for an increase OF wages which was
refused. The teamsters have been receiv.
ing $40 80 per week and they asked for sn
increase of $500 per month, giving as
their reason for the increase the hard
work aud many dissgieeabIe features Of
their occupation.
The discussion was carried on between
the parties for some time, aud it was
finally decided to leave the question to a
board of arbitrators, consisting o, three
disinterested residents of Bar Harbor and
a hearing was held last Thursday evening
in the g. A. r. hall.
The teamsters we're represented by
Eugene Brsnn and he dealers by Fletcher
I. Wood, representing the Clark coal
company, and Frank P. Wood, represent
ing the Bar Harbor coat company.
The meeting was a long one lasting
from 7.3o to 11.3o p. m, and was marked
by some lively passages.
The question al issue was: Are the
drivers of coal teams entitled to more pay
than teamsters in other lines of bust
ness7
Transfers in other lines OF business
receive $50 per month and board.
Many witnesses were called for both
sides.
The arbitrators' report follows:
To Eugene Brann, Frank p. Holden and
Fletcher r. Wood, representatives Of the coal
teamsters and coal dealers:
GEsrLEAEs You submitted to US the SIM
pie question; "Are the coal Transfers Justly
entitled TO a wage of SIS per month when the
| teamsters In other lines of business are paid
but $50 per month";"
At a hearing given at the 6. A. R. hall in this
village on the evening of Nov. IL, 1868. we lis
tened to testimony which, to our minds, seemed
| TO prove.
First. That the cost of living in Bar Harbor
Is not necessarily more to coal teamsters than
TO teamsters in others lines of business.
oNNSha. Ahahs tH1 Ntih VI Lbai tcaH.
sters has certain hard and disagreeable features,
that of other teamsters has certain other hard
and disagreeable features, which seem to keep
the scale on about an even balance.
We therefore answer that the coal teamsters
art not justly entitled 10 wage Of s35 per
month, while the Transfers in other lines of
business are paid but $50 per month. and that
the present wage of the coal transfers, which is
ma i,n a
May |, 1904.
Nothing in this decision is to be understood
as expressing or implying an opinion as to
whether the present wage of teamsters in Bar
Harbor is more or less than 1t should be.

as palstable as in "the good old summer

4 Tale of a Hated Dish.

There is a charming story told of the
great French painter Corot. Being
hospitabe he frequently assembled his
friends to dinner. and Il dish of had
dock ana potatoes. which everybody
hated, invariably followed the soup
The friends. who thought Corot par
tial to the dish. always gave it when
he dined with them. At last. in reply
to the painters query. they admitted
that they detested the dish, but sup
posed he liked it.
Corot was grinning broadly. "My
dear fellow. if you only knew how l
hate the sight of it even. But Adele,
my cook. simply adores haddock and
potatoes. And it is no good dare not
go against her wishes. 1t is as much
as my place is worth. Not for worlds
would my awe of Adele induce me to
undeceive her as regards the value l
attach to this one particular article Of
diet"
And for the sake Of Adele this little
group Of great painters had for thirty
years been eating dish they could
noae OF them bear.
