Marching on Panama.

The situation in Panama becomes moro
4 and more interesting. 1t Is now reported
that Colombian troops are marching on
y Panama with view to whipping the new
II ,republic back into the union. Whether
4 ar not Panama had a right to secede un-
!. der the Constitution, We have never been
able to ascertain. On Wednesday last Sen
( ator Hoar offered q resolution request
Ing the President to commun icate to the
n Senate whether the Constitution of the
ls Republic Of Colombia authorized the Sc
cession OF Panama therefrom, and
X whether Colombia was prevented by the
action Of the United States or by any off,
Ger or force under the jurisdiction of the
same from attempting to assert Its au-
n thority or to prevent such secession, and
what instructions, II any, had been given
by the government of the United States
to such officers, whether civil. military
or naval; and whether, If any action had
been taken by such officers without spo-
cIal authority what action was so taken,
and whether such action has been ap-
proved or disapproved by the govern
rnent of the United States
Perhaps the inside information Will
come By and by. But right or no right,
Panama seeded and gained her indcpen-
dencc. and set up a government OF her
own which the United States government
promptly recognized. Not only SO. but the
limited States government Is going to
defend Panama against Colombia Our
government proposes to stand by tho new
republic! 1t now recognizes the divine
right of secession, and will lend It's strong
arm to the seeded republic! The United
States government does not propose to
stand off and see these secessionists whip
4 ped back into the union.
II the Southern Confcderacy had only
had such strong ally in 1861; II Eng
( land had then come to our rescue, as the
United States government now goes TO
RI the rescue Of Panama. the Southern Con-
Il federacy would have stood, and would to-
day be an Independent republic. But the
United States government vigorously pro-
Ii tested agains interference on the part OF
Great Britain or any other foreign power
and SO all the nationsaof the. earth stood
by and let the bloody work go on. Tho
North had infinite resources, was able e
draw upon the world for It's supplies
while the South had to depend upon her
self, and was practically shut out from
the world
Happy Panama; she Is more fortunate
A great change OF sentiment has COM
over the government at Washington. Sc
cession which was such an ignobe thlnl
when the South seeded, is now yer,
beautiful thing in the eyes Of the admin
istration thing to bo recognized an
championed and defended.

ZAP AT MR.. COBURN.
Exclusion of Range Cattle Causes
Protests

F. D. Coburn, chief of the livestock
department of the ST. Louis exposition,
announced short time ago that no
range cattle would be exhibited at the
exposition. This decision has brought
forth a vigorous protest from the big
cattle mems associations of the range
states and they have been endeavoring
to make him change his mind The live
stock journals are specializing as to the
outcome, and the Daily Drovers' Tele-
gram of last evening contained the fol-
lowing editorial:
Wouldn't it take a big amount of
nerve, or will power. or backbone, or
stamina, or whatever you call it, for
Chief Coburn ii withstand the entreaties
of all the big livestock organiza lions of
the west in regard to the admission of
range cattle to the Worlds fair? Co
burn has said he would not recede from
his position before doomsday. The ad-
vent of doomsday is variously estimated
to be distant all the way from ten min
uteS to four billion cycles of time. The
length of time to elapse before it arrives
depends on the nerve of the person eff
fected by its coming. In the case of Co.
burn one might anticipate its henceneSs
to be about four million cycles of time.
But if the Texas and New Mexico and
Colorado and Utah and Nebraska and
Dakota and Wyoming and Minnesota
and Idaho and Arizona stockmen We're
to insist that car lots of range cattle
be exhibited at st. Louis. think you
would doomsday arrive any sooner?
That's the question.
Mr.. Coburn has said that there is not
sufficient room at the fair for all the
range cattle that would be received if
the restrictions were removed and
branded cattle allowed to come unim
peded. If this is the case, petitions and
entreaties and committees are in vain.
But the chief not not rely upon the lack
of capacity to shield him from respon-
sibility in the matter. He merely states
that his judgment is that the interests
of the fair win not be conserved by the
admission of such cattle. And so far AS
the chief is concerned the matter is SCI
tied right there. That's reason enough.
But will it be? Quite likely"

NOTHING LIKE 1T.
Representative Linton Talks of Smith
County Crops.

Representative L. NJ. Linton of Smith
county is in Topeka today, but not on
a political mission. He is looking up
speakers and making other arrange
ments for a celebration and reunion to
be held at his home town, Lebanon,
September to 10. He says he has re-
ceived assurances from Governor
Bailey and Senators Long and Burton
that they will attend if they are in the
state at that time. Mr.. Linton stopped
over at Fort Riley yesterday and made
partial arrangements to secure the
Ninth artillery band for the occasion.
Lebanon will give a birthday party on
those dates and she has invited the old
soldiers to hold reunion there at the
same time.
You never saw any better crops than
Smith county has this year" said Mr..
Linton enthusiastically. II have lived
there a good many years and I never
saw corn as good as we have now
Farmers come in every day or two and
bring ears that measure eighteen inches
long We had a big crop in 1896 that
yielded from 80 to 80 bushels to the
acre. but the prospect is better this year
than it was then even.
Then we have just harvested a big
wheat crop, you know. and the alfalfa
is simply immense. All kinds of crops
are fine. The rains do not hurt US
the way they do some parts of the state,
for the surplus water runs off instead
of standing on the fields"

The car of melons was dumped and
the melons were piled out. In front of

thrown clear over on the fence outside
