ticable or impracticable. Congress disposed of
all those matters when it-after sufficient de-
liberation, goodness knows!-declared its pref
erenee for Panama and directed the President
to arrange for the construction of canal
there IL he could. The President obeyed that
mandate of Congress, to the letter; and noY the
only thing that stands in the way of the canal
on that preferred route is the United States
Senate itself-the senior branch of the very
body that selected that route and gave the
President those instructions! Are we to under
stand that some Senators are lin favor OF the
law but against its enforcement'-in favor OF
the canal but against the steps necessary tor
its construction?

HEATH.

The simultaneous publication OF the complete
Bristow report and the findings of Messrs. Con-
rad and Bonaparte makes more clear than ever
the unfitness of Perry S. Heath for high Official
position in the management of the Republican
party. Both sets of investigators, the postott1ce
inspectors and the unprejudced lawyers desig-
mated by the President to study the postottlce
scandals, make statements seriously damaging
to his reputation Mr.. Bristow reports in de-
tail a transaction which seems on its face to
show that three men interested in selling goods
to the government each contributed block OF
his stock in a corporation to pool amounting
TO $4,000 and that the stock was transferred
to Heath on his promise to order $675,000 worth
of their machines. Messrs. Conrad and Bona
parte declare that Heath and Beavers are 1.-THE
persons primarily responsible" for the postoffice
abuses and scandals which have resulted in
long list of indictments. Indeed, it is probable
that Mr.. Heath himself would now be under in
dictment if prosecution of the offences charged
against him were not barred by the statute of
limitations.
Now, Mr.. Heath may be greatly wronged, but
the secretaryship of the national committee is
hardly the place for discredited man, even II
he is unjustly under q cloud. The national
committee is not an asylum for the repair OF
injured regulations, but a body constituted to
work for the Republican party and to commend
it to the favor of voters. 1t is not great while
since the Republicans of New-York thought they
had good campaign material in the implication
of John +. Gaynor, the treasurer of the Demo
cratic State Committee, in the Savannah I'M
provement frauds. Gaynor never has been
tried. In the eyes Of the law he is innocent
until proved guilty, though his present sojourn
in Canada does not suggest conscious innocence.
GG.ity or not, as a treasurer he would have
been a milestone about the neck of the New
York Democracy. So with Heath. He may be
a good man in adversely, but so long as Demo
Gratis can point to the undisproved accusations
of the Bristow and the COnrad-Bonaparte re-
ports he will be a milestone about the neck of
a Republican committee which he persists in
keeping identified with him.
1t would not be quite so bad if he really met
the charges. But it is not case of refusing to
retire under fire." He has retired under fire."
though not from the national committee AS
Messrs. Conrad and Bonaparte say, his answer
is altogether insufficient and no less unsatis-
factory in substance than in FORM" He has
been entirely evasive, and has shown no dis
position to meet in manly fashion with detailed
replies specific accusations about which there
is nothing shadowy. His whole attitude sug-
gests that he is taking refuge in his legal i'm
munity. That of course, is his privilege as
citizen. But it is fatal to his standing as a
political leader, and highly injurious to any
movement dependent on popular respect and
approval with which he Identifies his name.
Is there no statute of limitations to free him
from the national committee as we'll as from

We commented the other day on the ruinous
results of official discrimination in favor of
labor unions in two of the Australian States.
There now seems danger that the same policy
will be applied to the whole Commonwealth. In
that case we may expect to see not as at pres
ent. a large migration from Victoria and New
South Wales to West Australia, but a larger
emigration from the Commonwealth to other
lands where the rights of man are more re-

have been insolent and threatening in their

DOLLARS Are a Sure Sign of SUCCESS

After all that has been written and said about DON LUIS there are still plenty of people who have rot as yet secured a future homesite or made an investment for profit in this favored spot-But look at the number of people who would not go on the Ark wit Noah We do not expect the less progres- sive element to become very exteu- sive buyers in DON LUIS for 1t Is only the progres sive wide-a-wake men and women of the hour who discover mines build cities, con struct railroads and generally make life worth living It Is to this class that we appeal, the great ustling, throbbing America life. We want in Don Luis the people who do things; who will build homes, who will assist us in car
 rying out the grand plans we have for this magnificent townsite. The sign of success will be a harvest of dollars for every man or woman who buys now and stays with us.
Bisbee daily review., 1903-11-13

What is going to increase the value of property at Don Luis? What has increased the value of pro- perty at Colorado Springs?
 Rapid transit is going to increase values.
 The large number of buildings now under construction, and contrac- ted for, are going to increase val The beautiful graded streets are going to increase values.
 The gradual centering at Don Luis of population that comes simply because others come Is go- ing to increase values. And last and most important of all, the mines-mines that we little dream of today, will be the grand reali- ties of tomorrow. Pin your faith on Don Luis backed by the mines, and you can't go wrong.
