WEDNEsDAY, DEC. 80. 1903.

When the members Of the Colon
bian Senate defeated a treaty which
provided for ten million dollar
gift to their country, along with an
annual rental ola quarter of a mil
lion dollars and provisions which re-
.quired this country to expend more
than a hundred millions Of dollars
on a public improvement, wholly
within the borders of Colombia, they
acted contrary to their country's in
tests, contrary to the interests Of
mankind the world over, and in a
manner quite unfriendly to the peo-
pie Of the United States. There is
q well founded suspicion that the in
trigues Of some of the railways Of
this country and some Of the envious
governments Of Europe had much to
do with the defeat of the Panama
canal treaty. And it is regretable
fact that the administration at
Washington seems to have been I'M
ableto dcalwitll its enemies in this
canal business and keep its own
hands clean. Congress directed the
president, in the event Of his failure
to negotiate proper treaty for the
construction Of the canal at Panama,
to 90 ahead and build it at Nicara-
qua. But instead of obeying the
direction OF CONGRESS the president
concluded that Panama was the best
location for the canal, and that he
would have it at Panama by fair
means, if fair: means would win; but
should fair means fail, then by the
use of such means as should be
found necessary to bring bring about
desired results
Fair means did not VIA, and the
president answered the defeat Of his
treaty by planning the disruption Of
Colombia.
No doubt a large majority of all
parties sincerely wish that the facts
were otherwise, but what has beer
done cpanot Re undone. In one
way oSanother this country's right
to dig a canal across the isthmus Of
Panama has been secured. 1t il
B now in Uncle Sans open hand anc
the Senate of the United States has
the power to close the hand. The
question is will it do SO? We think
that it will, and by anoverwhelmint
majority.
