Uncle Sam Not a Bill Collector.

If the republic of Panama does not look sharp it will stand a good chance to lose all the benefits of the s1O, ,OOO.- 0OO which the United States is to pay for the canal concession. Several of the European nations that have claims against Colombia are now trying to make it appear that Panama should pay some of these debts It is alleged by London paper that English hold CTS of Colombian bonds will insist that Panama should assume the payment Of these obligations to the extent of $15,- coo, ,OOO. On behalf of these bondhold- CTS, the British ambassador a day or two ago unofficially handed to the president a statement Of the bend holders position and no doubt the ambassadors and ministers of other countries will take similar action for their people. It is not pretended by them that the United States should act as a bill collector for these credulous purchasers of Colombian bonds: that is. the subject is presented to MT. Roosevelt with more delicacy. than that. He is merely requested to use his good offices" in persuading the new government Of Panama to assume a generous share of Colombia's worth less debts.
 It was to be expected that the sight of such a huge sum as $1O.000, 900 pass Q ing from Uncle Sam's treasury to the government Cf Panama would start a wholesale itching of palms in Europe Colombia is bankrupt, and one Ameri- can silver dollar will buy S2,OO0 in Co., lombian money. But at no time in re- cent years has Colombia been able to pay her debts. and investors who were SC foolish as to invest good money in her securities" are rot deserving of any consideration.
 On the face of things, there would be nothing unjust in the bondholders' asking Panama to assume d certain proportion of Colombia's g just debts, fer these debts were incurred while the department of Panama vas an integral part of Colombia But as a matter of fact, Panama had little or no voice in the government or in the creation of these debts, and the new republic should be left to a free decision wheth- CT it will pull any European chestnuts out Of the fire. And certainly, it is no part of the duty of this government to interfere for the protection of foreign lambs" who have bought Colombian gold bricks.

there could he no permanent peace in the Philippines until the friars were removed, and this view has been ac- cepted by both the American govern ment and the church at Rome. The holy father has insisted, however that the friars ought to be paid a fair price for their property in the Philippines. Negotiations have been prolonged be- cause of the difficulty in arriving at a price that would be satisfactory to all manded $13,OOOOOO for their lands. Governor Taft offered $6,000,000 after a careful examination of the property. Yesterdays dispatch says that the price agreed upon is $7.5OO,OOO, which indicates that the friars practically ac- cepted the American terms. Shortly, therefore. the "friar question" in the Philippines will be a thing of the past. Most of the friars are gone, already. Their places will be taken by young priests of the. Catholic faith who are familiar with American institutions and the American spirit Both the church and the government will be the gathers from this settlement.
 Governor Taft's valuable services in the Philippines have been fairly crown ed by this fral triumph. He is to re- turn to this country immediately, to enter President Roosevelt's cabinet as secretary of war, and he has well earn ed the transfer.

BLOODHOUND EVIDENCE BARRED

George w. BrOtt, of Nemehl county, convicted of burglary and sentenced to serve three years in the penItentiary has secured a reversal in the supreme court cn the ground that the testimony of bloOdhounds is not competent. The defendant alleges that he was convict ed largely upon the testimony Of two bloodhcunds, Bcauregard and Miss Co., lumbia, and that he was deprived of a constitutional right to meet his accus- CTS face to face and to cTcss-examine them. He m3intained that the testi- mony cf the dogs was not admissible in court. The supreme court has sus- tained his contention and reversed and remandcd the case for a new trial. The dogs in question followed a trail from the house that was robbed to the house where Brott lived-Nehraska State Journal

THE TROUSERS MUST GO.

It is kind of the Chicago clubwomen to undertake to reform mems trousers. which, as they justly remark, are in artistic and anything but graceful. Naturally they cannot be expected to bit just the right inspiration at the first trial. What one leading modiste describes as an ideal business cos tune" strikes us as just a trfie inn practical. IL consists of black satin brooches, with ru es around the knee,
 black silk stockins and a lace collar Such an outfit would be funereal. too depressing would lend itself too readily to bear operations in Wall street. The atmosphere of business ought to be cheerful. like the smile of q blooming typewriter. The lace col lar would be all right. but for the rest of the business mans costume we would suggest robin's-egE blue blouse old-rose knee brooches. mauve stock ings and white satin slippers with diamond buckles. Black might be worn for d day if steel common passed it's dividend.-New York Evening World

CURRENT COMMENT
A DEMOCRATIC VIEW.

The utterances of some newspapers and some public men indicate that the section of the Panama treaty under which the government guarantees the independence of the new republic will be a special object of attack in the senate.
 It seems to us that the critics who point their fingers at this provision lose sight entirely of the peculiar rela- tions of the United States must hereafter held toward the Isthmus of Panama. However much the acts leading up to the revolution and the creation of the new republic of Panama may be open to criticism, the fact stands that the republic is there. that it is the responsible government so recognized by the nations Cf the world, and that it has made treaty with the United States under which this government is to undertake the construction of the greatest enter prise of modern times
 That treaty, being an entirely legal document, will be ratified by the United States senate, and the con- struction of a canal which first and last will cost several hundred million dollars. will be begun.
 With this work under way with the interests of the United States para mount on the isthmus. the possibility of leaving things in such shape that the isthmian territory may become the scene of constant revolution or strife is net to be considered for a minute. But two ways are possible to insure peace and stability there One of these is to guarantee and maintain the independence Of the republic of Panama: the other would be to step in and assume sovereignity. with all its attendant responsibilities for the United States.
 The latter step was not to. be thought Of. Tc have taken it would have been placing this government in the attitude of grabbing for itself the territory of q friendly republic This the United tSates has not done. aI- though the impression seems strong in some sections that the Isthmus of Panama has been gra bbed by the United States. All this government has dCne is 10 back up the secession Of the people of Panama and to aid them in establishing a governu,ent for themselves
 That government established, it i~ to thehighest interest of the United States and of the world that it should be maintained in peace so that the great ship canal can be constructed and forever preserved undlsturbed This is the guarantee which the United States, in it's treaty. gives to tho republic of Panama, and it is proper that it should be so given.-At- lanta Constitution

PHoENIX. ARIZONA. DEC. IS. lsO;
The Reservoir a Certainty |.

The suspension of work by the gov ernment in the Tonto basin has no sig nifcancc whatsoever; the cessation of operations is merely temporary. This is made clear by the facts covered in our special dispatch from Washington, printed yesterday. The plain statement of the situation by the geological sur vcy should set at rest the various ru- mors which have been in circulation in the valley for the past fortnight.
 For several months there has been no reason to doubt the intention Co construct this great reser- voir. and assurance was made doubly sure by the following off cial statement from Secretary Hitch oock in his annual report, a synopsis O. which was printed in The Republi- can last Monday:
 In the Salt River valley in Arizona, and in the Uncompahgre valley in Col oIadC. the latter to be irrigated by means of the Gunnison river project, the owners Of lands have organized in- to water users associations. That of tka Salt river was the first tO be or gunized, and various questions in con- ncctIon herewith were submitted for my consideration. In2smuch as the law requires a definite approval of the form of such organization when the mI ior portion Of the payments required for the lands has been made--a cen tirEcncy which would not arise for several years-it was not deemed ad- visable Co formally approve the details cf such organization at the present time. The association was advised, however. that the general form was satisfactory and that there appeared to be no reason why the articles as adopt eG could not be made to conform to such requirements as might be consid cred necessary when formal approval was required by the law"
 Citizens pessimistically inclined have pointed to the failure of the secretary to formally approve the plan of organ izatlon of the Salt River Valley Water Urers' association. and have insisted 
 matter for the future there might be mary a slip" etc. The foregoing par asraph explains why the secretary has not deemed it advisable to for maIly approve the details of such or ranization at the present time," and the reasons given ate entirely satisfac- tory.
 once for all, it should be remembered that the government is definitely com mitted Co the construction of the Tonto Basin reservoir. Official announcement Of this fact has been made by the pres idcnt of the United States in his an nual message. by the secretary of the interior in his annual report, and by officials of the geological survey, and nothing further is required.
 To make ready for the construction of such a dam as will be placed across the Salt river calls for a vast amount oC preparation In detail, and 1t Is not always possible to rush these details. 1T everybody in the Salt river valley were as sure of eternal salvation as tho valley is sure to have water storage, there would be no further need of min istcrs in th.s community.

A PRETTY WEDDING
POPULAR BLOOMFIELD YOUNG
WOMAN MARRiEs a
DOCTOR.

Bloomfield, Dec. 1.-THE home of
Mrs. D, P. Palmer was the scene of a
very quiet but beautiful wedding
Wednesday evening, when her only
daughter Mabel became the bride of
DIR. Lewis Dysart, OF Bisbee, Arizona,
The ceremony was performed at eight
o'clock by Rev. ]. c. Wilson, pastor of
he Presbyterian church. in the pres
ence of about fifty relatives and friends
OF the principals. Preceding the cere-
mony a beautiful piano solo, a love
song by Nivin, was played by Miss
Helen Davies, after which Lohengrin's
wedding march, played by w. J. Steck-
ell, Summoned the bridal train, com
dosed of the officiating pastor, followed
by B. H. Palmer, best man, Mrs. B. H.
Palraer, matron of honor, and the bride
and groom, to the parlor. Taking their
places in the vine-wreathed swell win
dew they were pronounced hus-
band and wife, in the language af
the Presbyterian ring ceremony.
With the rapturous strains OF
Mendelssohn the wedding party re-
paired to the dining room where re-
freshments were served. Returning
to the parlors DR.. and Mrs. Dysart re-
ceiyed the sincere congratulations of
their guests. The bride was attired
in white wash chiffon over taffeta, en-
train and carried BRIDES roses. The
matron of honor wore white null. a
pink sash and carried pink roses. The
bride is a young business woman
whose presence in the city has been
felt not only in its business life but in
literary, musical and social circles.
During the past year she has held the
position of abstractor in the Steckel
bark and her absence leaves a posi-
tiodl hard to be filled. Or. Dysart is a
son of the late Samuel Dysart, of Bis.
bee, Arizona, and a former resident
of this place. He has been a practic.
ing physician for eight years and dur,
ing the past year has been or the staff
for the Copper Queen Mining compa.
ny at Bisbee, Arizona. DIR. and Mrs
Dysart will leave Thursday morning
for Lancaster, the former home of the
groom, where they will visit relatives
for a few days before going on an ex
tensive western trip which they will
enjoy before going to Bisbee, where a
little cottage already furnished awaits
them.
