The Young Mans Country.

In address at Chicago to the students
of Armour Institute Mr. Cleveland said:
Il hate to hear persons talk in a pessi-
mistic strain to the effect that the day of
opportunity in this country has gone by,
and that the chances for a young man to
rise by his own efforts have passed away
1t Is not true. There is room at the top,
and there always will be-
Good words and true. but they bring MIR.
Cleveland into conflict with Mr.. Bryan and
Richard Croker. Both of those statesmen
have declared that the young man has been
pushed to the wall In this country. and that
never again will he have an opportunity to
rise in the world until the policies of the
party now in power are overthrown Mr.
Bryan desires the job Of overthrowing
them. and Mr.. Croker thinks 1t ought to be
let to Mr.. Cleveland. Every day brings
forth evidence of the unprecedented divis-
ions that exist in the councils of the DEM
Ocracy.

The Stars comment in these columns yes
terday on the fact that the District is
charged on the books with an advance pay
ment OF 100000 to the B. and o. railroad.
on the grade crossing elimination account,
has aroused official interest at the
District building. and it Is now probable
that Congress will be asked this winter to
relieve the local funds from this unjust
burden. 1t appears that the railroad COM
pany. evidently recognizing the equity in
the case. has made no demand for these
two installments Of 100000 each. which
the auditor has. by a strict construction Of
the law, charged against the District be-
ginning July 1, 1901. or two years before
the work was started. Thus there will be
ample ground for a request that Congress
rectify the evident error in the union sta
ton act of last February. which In read
justing the other matters to conform to
the union terminal scheme should have
provided that the Districts payments begin
July /, 1903.
Now 1t further appears that the actual
deficit In the local revenues, after all the
current needs are met and the cash-basis

space on fourth floor, Eleventh

every item needed for the proper
enjoyment of indoor and outdoor
recreation is represented.

The products of this maker are

Every one interested in sport, or

committee now proposes, Colombia will
stand by the letter of its agreements with
the Panama Canal Company and will ne
gotiate no treaty until that corporation
has actually forfeited it's right. At the
earliest, that cannot be until some time
next year. 1t may not be until 1910.
This statement of the case is sufficient
warrant for an immediate dropping of all
the canal negotiations with Colombia. If
that government will not undertake the
writing of a new convention save upon the
uncertain basis of the disapproval Of a
concession, which action will mean the sur
render of 100000, there is no present
hope of securing satisfactory treaty. Has
not the United States been extremely
ia tient and slow in this case. even to the
point of comparison with South American
standards? Does not the United States
want the Panama route so badly that It
will walt a quarter of a century, II neces-
sary, in order to get it? Are not Its pre-
tensions about Nicaragua merely bluff?
On this subject an interview had by
New York Tribune reporter with an Amer
lean resident of Nicaragua Is OF immediate
interest. Says this man:
I'VE have had no hope of a canal In MIC
aragua since the Nicaragua Company failed
and abandoned work at GreytoWn, In 1917.
Since then we have regarded the negotia-
tons of the United States with Nicaragua
as only a menace to Panama, and though
the Columbian government has rejected the
treaty we believe that Panama Will secede
before she will sacrifice the chance OF nav
ing the water route established across the
is thmuS
1t would be we'll If some positive action
were taken Immediately by this government
to demonstrate to Colombia, as well as to
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, the sincerity Oh
our choice of the Nicaragua route as alter
ma tive to the Panama.

The Canal Situation.

A close reading of the latest dispatch
from Bogota on the canal situation. printed
yesterday, reveals no reason for expecting
early satisfactory results or justifying fur
Their delay by this government in the open
ing of negotiations for the Nicaragua route
1t appears that bill had been proposed in
the senate authorizing the president of the
republic to draft a new treaty with the
United States. to supplant the rejected
Hay Herran convention. If the dispatch
correctly states the situation. the committee
to which this proposition was referred vir-
tually negatives 1t on the ground that the
executive. under the constitution. cannot
execute treaties without the final ratifica-
ton by the congress. and that the constitu-
ton cannot be amended without the sane
ton of two successive congresses all Of
which means delay.
The Senate committee offers a counter
proposition. The Panama Canal Company.
in 1900. was granted an extension for a
term Of six years. beginning in 1904 1t
would seem that this concession has never
been formally approved by the congress.
AS a condition precedent to any further
negotiations with the United States this
grant must be either approved or disap-
proved. II approved. the Panama Canal
Company will have until 1910 to fulfill its
obligations. That Is an impossibilty and,
If honestly undertaken, would necessitate
q further extension. Besides which. the
Panama Canal Company Is In no position
financially to attempt the completion of
the canal
But IL the concession Is disapproved.
when the rights Of the company expire
in 1904. the government of Colombia will
reimburse 1t in the sum OF 81. 100000. will
take possession Of the works. and. In the
language Of the dispatch. will then be able
to negotiate a new treaty with the United
States" In other words, az the Senate

The Alaskan Boundary.

There is evidently a feeling III London That
the Alaskan boundary case will be decided
against the Canadian claims. The London
Advertiser announces that it regrets to
learn from a source which it regards as be-
yond question that the decision of the tri-
bunal virtually comedies The American
side This announcement has evoked a
denial based upon an emphatic statement
also from an unuueStionable source, that no
decision has been reached by the tribunal
and no vote taken on any issue thus far

The Southern Forests.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The question of preserving the southern
forests, both from neglect and from fire,
is beginning to be discussed in forestry cir
cles. and none too soon, for the chief part
of the timber supply of the country, both
pine and hard wood, is now in the southern
states. The pine of the northwest has been
largely removed by fires and cutting, and
what remains in Maine and other eastern
states will be used up in paper making.
Few people have any idea of the extent of
the southern forests. The hard wood Is
found in the mountain districts of the Vir-
ginias, Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Ken
lucky, Tennessee and northern Mississippi,
and some in the forests Of Arkansas and
northern Louisiana. The fine southern pine,
which is such a favorite wood for building
and for interior finish, grows over a belt
following the coast line from Virginia to
Texas.

actual saving to the District, unless Con-
gress later changes its mind on the sub

Lambs.
From the Chicago Record-Herald.

In the Wall street 200" as every we'll
informed child in this land knows, there are
three kinds Of animals-bulls, bears and
lambs. Moreover, there exist there only
these three kinds of animals, for every
man in Wall street. whether capitalist or
a "piker" a professional or an amateur, a
broker or a customer, falls under one Of the
three types. Heretofore 1t has been accept
ed as automatic that all brokers are either
bears or bulls, or. to put 1t from the reverse
point of view, that no brokers are lambs.
The events of last week have made 1t ap-
pear, however, that this is all wrong, and
that the brokers are the most innocent and
lamblike of all the Wall street tribe.

The Meat Trust.
, the Baltimore American

From the Baltimore American.
The reputation of the meat trust has not
been specially savory for some time. A
very few years ago every newspaper in tina
country was invoking punishment on this
combination, which practically monopolizes
the sale of meats in America. While 1t was
most heartily and universally condemned
then. and it was hoped that the public
would in future receive better treatment,
the effect of the criticisms was not lasting.
and the trust has treated the people pretty
much it pleased. Its recent coup is
astonishing for it's simplicity and impu-
dence.
