ATTITUDE OF THE PEOPLE OF
PANAMA,

On his return from Panama the other
! day Admiral Walker was quoted as
saying. in reference to the occupation
of the Isle of Pines by the Colombians,
| that the Panamaians, without any as
sistance from the United States. would
be able to resist any attack from that
quarter.
1t is probable that the Panamaians
have nothing to fear from the Colon
bians on the Isle of Pines, but If Ad-
miral Walker meant to convey the i'm
preston that they are ready to fight
for their independence it is safe to as
sumo that he is mistaken.
The letters from Panama which the
Morning News is publishing indicate
beyond a doubt that the Panamaians
have no love of country, no patriotism.
They wouldn't make any sacrifices to
prevent their country from again pass
ing under the control of Colombia,
unless they saw chance to improve
their material fortunes by doing so.
Indeed, they wouldn't have revolted If
they hadn't believed the United States
were behind them, and would see to it
that they were protected in all they
did.
1t is true they are enthusiastically in
favor Of the canal, but that is because
they expect the construction of it will
make flush times on the isthmus. They
remember that when the French were
engaged on the canal money was
plentiful at Colon and Panama, and
business was good. They expect there
will be a like condition of affairs
when the Americans begin work on the
canal
AS a matter of fact when the people
of Panama are spoken of only those
who reside in the towns Of Colon and
Panama are meant. Colon is at the At
lantic end of the canal and Panama
at the Pacific end. 1t is probable that
the majority of the people of the new
republic have only a vague idea of the
changed political conditions and care
very little whether Panama is indie
pendent or is a part of Colombia
There isn't much doubt that one of
easily organized was the prospect of
getting hold Of the $10,0O0,00O which
the United States are to pay for the
canal concessions, and if 1t were not
for the presence of United States ma
rines on the isthmus there would be
another revolution there right away,
a revolution that would set aside the
present junta and set up another one.
The desire to handle the money that
is to be paid for the concession is SO
great that the present junta will be
fortunate if it succeeds in keeping it
self in power much longer.
OF course, as Admiral Walker says,
the Colombians who have taken pos
session of the Isle of Pines are not
causing anybody alarm, but if there
is fighting to be done the Panamaians
will expect the Americans to do it.
They are not going to do 1T.

There seems to be reason for think
ing the terrible wreck on the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad near Connells-
Vile, in which sixty-four persons were
killed, was due either to criminal care
lessness or criminal desire to save ex-
penses on the part of somebody. A
freight train carrying a gondola car
loaded with lumber passed over the
track a short time in advance of the
fast passenger train. BY some means
several pieces OF lumber fell off the
gondola and on the track In such posi-
ton that when the flying passenger
train struck them 1t was wrecked.
The lumber must have been very care
lessly loaded. or the stakes at the side
Of the car were too slight and weak
to stand the strain put upon them
when the train rounded a curve. If
the stakes were not sufficiently strong,
a reasonable suggestion would be that
light stakes were used because they are
worth less than heavy ones. There
ought to be a thorough investigation
into the matter and the blame placed
where 1T belongs. Human lives are too
precious to be jeopardized by careless
ness or greed.

A plucky young girl Of Kentucky
has succeeded in swapping a lot of red
tape for the War Department. She
has a soldier sweetheart in the Phil
ippines, who calculated upon getting
home during the winter to marry her,
but he failed Of procuring a discharge
or a leave of absence. The girl, whose
father is prominent man in Ken
lucky and has influence with the
states congressional delegation, ex-
pressed her determination of going to
her lover If he could not come to her.
To prevent this her father called on
his senators and representatives, and
they appealed to Secretary Root. The
outcome is that a cable message has
been sent to the Philippines telling the
young soldier to apply for a discharge
and it will be granted. The girl did
not get her soldier for a Christmas
present, but he will be home in a few
weeks, and there will be big wedding
in Kentucky.

OUR IMPORTS OF FARM PRODUCTS.

VIII the time ever come when the
United States will be able to produce,
on the lands within their jurisdiction,
all of the farm products necessary to
supply the demands of their markets?
At the present time the American flag
floats over territory having pretty near
ly all kinds Of soil and all kinds of
climate. Still the value of the agricul-
tural products which we import is
about half of that of those which we
export. For the year 1892 this country
spent for farm products $413,744,557.
During the same year it exported farm
products to the amount of 1857 ,000,0 600.
What were the articles it purchased?
What were the principal ones? AS set
forth in a government bulletin they
were sugar, coffee, hides and silk. For
these articles more than 5000, 100000 was
paid. AS a matter Of fact, however,
we get farm products from nearly all
parts of the world. even Holland sent
more than 100000 worth during the
year under consideration.
In the United States it is doubtful if
we shall ever accomplish much in the
direction of producing coffee. In our
possessions, however, we shah increase
our production of that article. The
coffee of Porto Rico and of the Philip
pines is excellent. 1t is impossible to
say what will be the outcome of the
sugar beet experiment. From the sugar
beet we may, in time, get all the sugar
we need and the production of cane
sugar, while it may not become very
much greater than it is at present In
the United States, is certain to increase
in our possessions. The Philippines have
great possibilities for cane sugar pro-
duction and Porto Rico can do much
better thar she is doing now.
AS to hides and silk, it is impossible
to say, with any degree of certainty
what the development in the produc-
ton of these articles will be. Efforts
are being made to increase silk pro-
duction, which is now very small. and
unless more attention is given in the
South to cattle raising there will be a
steady increase in the importation of
hides. Owing to the rapid growth of
the country, the indications are that
there will be an increase rather than
a falling off in the value of our i'm
portation of farm products. At the
same time, however, there will be a
still greater increase in our exports
of these products.

Certain slate-makers are talking of
Gov. Taft of the Philippines, who is
to succeed Mr.. Root as Secretary of
War, as the running mate for Roose-
welt in the next campaign. Friends of
Gov. Taft, however, are not sure that
he would agree to that arrangement.
They are of the opinion that he has a
higher ambition than the vice presi-
dency; that he has in mind serving as
War Secretary during a second Roose-
welt administration and then reaching
out for the presidential nomination.
Like Senator BeverIdge of Indiana,
Gov. Taft is inclined to regard himself
as man of destiny, headed straight
for the White House.

This word of late has been in every

what the word signifies, though no one

that NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE does

thousands of people who like to know
all about good thing, we would say
that HERPICIDE means a destroyer

son. "Oh, he's WE'LL" said the de-
