The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1903-11-12

Friends of an istbmiau canal are
somewhat alarmed by reports which
indicate that in the Pacific coast
States a systematic attempt is being
quietly made to convince the people
of that section that the advantage to
all that part of the country in the
trade with the Orient will be de.
stToyed if the canal should be built.
The argument is based upon the fact
that the geographical position of the
Pacific coast is such that the pro-
ducts of that part of the country will
have marked advantage over other
sections in the trade with the Orient,
and that all importations will have to
enter through the ports of the Pacific
coast, while if the canal were com
pleted there would be comp etition
from the east and from Europe. 1t is
not known whether this argument will
have influence with the present dele
CATION in Congress, but it indicates
that strong interests in the country are
opposed to canal construction.

ment against the action of the United
States in connection with events on
the Isthmus of Panama. The state de-

THE CANAL TREATY.

The recognition of the de faoto
government Of Panama by the United
States may result in the reopening OF
the whole canal proposition at the
regular session of Congress. The
Spooner Act, which authorized the
President to carry on negotiation
with regard to the canal and also the
payment of $40, 900, 600 to Colombia in
the event of the negotiations being
successful is being discussed by the
party leaders with regard to its effi-
cacy under the new conditions, Some
of the leading lawyers in the Senate
hold that the succession of the repub-
lie of Panama to the sovereignty OF
the isthmus takes away the power
which the President had under the
Act. They say he was authorized to
buy rights relative to the canal OF
Colombia and that now the canal is
beyond Colombia's control, the au-
thority is gone. Others Of the Sena-
tors hold, however, that the authority
was given to buy the canal rights and
that who thew were to be bought of
was a minor consideration.
The discussion of the bill has
brought out the fact that when the
Spooner Bill was being framed it was
suggested that the words or Pana-
MAJ inserted after the word Col
ombia, " for the purpose of meeting
just the contingency which has arisen
on the isthmus The words were
omitted because it was feared their
insertion would place Congress in the
attitude of fomenting revolution. II
they had been inserted the President
would now have the necessary power
beyond question, but very grave
opening would have been left for Col
ombia, or other countries interested,
to say that the United States was
at the bottom Of the revolution or
the isthmus. Even now advices from
France and other European countrie:
state that the belief there is that
Americans started and assisted the
revolution, and that the United States
government gave its sanction. Foreign
governments certainly have some rea-
son for being suspicious, though thu
United States may be entirely limo
cent of any meddling, American
would have been quick to suspec
France, or Germany, or England o
being the supporters of the revol
under similar circumstances.
Whichever way the Spooner Act i
finally interpreted it is expected thu
President will go ahead and negotiat
with the Republic of Panama treat
similar to the one made with Colon
bia and rejected by the Colombian
congress. It it is held that the Presi
dent has full power under the Spoon
or Act the matter may be settle
without reference to Congress again
bat Otherwise the whole question vii
be opened. 1t is expected the enemie
of the Panama route will attempt {
open the debate again in any case.

The Post on GOsvenOr.

In a scathing article illustrated by
fac simile letters the New York Even
ing Post calls upon General Grosvener
to resign his post as congressman on
the ground that in order to sell a book
of which be is the author he has used
his official pasitiou to hide his consort
ing with fraudulent Representatives.
The Post says editoiially:
The evidence is clear that General
Gosvenor has traded upon his official
position for his private profit. He has
associated himself with a begging en-,
terprise conducted by a mau formely
convicted OF fraudulent use Of the
United States mails; finally, he has
turned and twisted and lied as his III
erary schemes have been revealed. a

Henceforward, says the London
Chronicle, you must not Judge a man
by his hat or his coat or the way in
which he carries his. handkerchief,
but by his necktie. This is the die
tum of a ladies' paper. Itworks rath-
er %curiously. A well-tied tie, it
seems to argue an absence of intel
lect. Mr.. Gladstone's ties might have
been quoted in support of this propo-
sition or its converse. They were al
ways abominably tied and never
stayed in their proper place. But
our new authority goes outside the
sphere of geniuses, "The average
man, with an ordinary share of intel
lect,' she says, seldom knows how to
tie a tie as it can be tied, and is tied,
by men with no intellect at all. l
defy a man Of real brain to keep his
tie at the exact angle for any consid-
cradle time. Directly you see a beau
tifully tied tie which never moves out
of its place you may be fairly certain
you are not face to face with an un-
discovered Shakespeare or an en-
bryonic Goethe" This explains at
last why it is that Frenchmen never
seem able to tie a decent tie. They

TEE COMING RACE.
Next Generation of Americans Should
Be Giants and centenarians.

AVA 1EAAAaNAaA - LA48
Be Giants and centenarians.
There is no reason why the next
generation of Americans should not
be Grants in stature and live a~tleasta
century. Science has shown this to
be possible. and that life can easily be
made worth the living for the bare
century of existence that will belong
to every man that is not run over by
an electric car or struck BY an auto
mobile. This is not ouackery, de-
clares the New Orleans Zines Dem
oerat. but the assertion of the leading
scientists of the country. Taken in
connection with the assertion of a sci
entifc man of Harvard university and
another of Columbia university that
it is possible TO convert an ignorant
bow into a well-eouipped scholar in
about two weeks by hypnotic impress
sion. the next generation may start
life with an education and spend its
hundred wears of existence in the ac-
tive pursuits of life. 1t is not so long
AGO that DR.. Loeb advanced and con-
frmed the doctrine that salt would
revive the waning power of the heart,
and that a saline solution had the
power of preventing the liquefaction
Of the nerve substances, without
which process the body cannot die.
Only a few weeks ago DR.. Coakley, of
Chicago, announced that by the use
of a hollow gold needle several inches
in length he had been able to pierce
the human heart to the right auricle
and to inject a saline or other solution
without the slightest danger to the
subject. Thus, while a patient is in
extremis, the physician can pierce the
heart and inject a small particle OF
salt, which will make his heart young
again, arousing the waning action in
an instant.
Why should the patient die under
such circumstances until the machin-
cry Of the body gives out altogether,
ike the deaeon's one-hoss shay? Salt
is to be had everywhere, and it is easy
in these days to get a physician to
pierce the heart with a gold needle.
If the patient be young a hypnotist
can be giving him a thorough educa-
ton while he is convalescing, and he
will arise from his bed a scholar and
an athlete. But he may be a person
of small stature. Fortunately science
. has provided for that also. DIR, De

OF the British empire beyond seas
the Liverpool chamber Of commerce
has just completed an instructive in
ventory.
OF the forty-five colonies twelve have
popular self government, with legisla-
lures of their own electing. The rest
are more or less automatically ruled by
governors sent out from London.
Including India, the empire now eX-
tends over II, 900 square miles, or
ninety-one times the area of the moth
er country.
A great increase has taken place in
the population of the colonies during
the last two decades, it having grown
from 100000 in 1881 to 24,000,000,
excluding possessions from which there
were no returns. The bulk of this in
crease is in the Australian and South
African colonies.
