No More Dalliance With Colombia.

1t is now physically impossible for an ex-
change of ratifications of the Hay-Herran
canal treaty to take place on the 22d of
this month provided in the protocols
Even if Colombia were to ratify the treaty
at once-an event of which there Is not the
least present prospect-it would be neces-
sary to agree upon an extension of the
date of the exchange. Thus the admins
tration Is today warranted in considering
>irU rInama Case vlvseu. Not even the dis
patch printed today from Bogota warrants
the belief that there is hope for satisfactory
dealings with Colombia. That dispatch
reads as follows:
The senate has approved the bill au
thorizing the government to neeo,ia TO n
new Panama canal treaty with the United
states on It's first reading. Senator Perez v
Soto announces that he will oppose 1t in
the subsequent debates"
This does not signify that the new treaty
VIII grant the requirements of the United
States on terms which this country can
afford to accept There is talk of the pas
sage of a bill which will authorize Presi-
dent Marroquin himself to ratify the Hay
Herran treaty. The minister at this capital
announces that the president is diligently
at work trying to secure the five votes
necessary for the adoption of such a meas
ure by the senate. The two projects that
for presidential ratification of the already
rejected treaty and that for the negotiation
of a new treaty, are not consistent
In short it is apparent that the situation
at Bogota is hopeless of a satisfactory So
luton This government cannot be ex-
pected to wait for the factions down there
to settle their differences. The probab BILE
outcome of any legislative enactment would
be an absolutely unsatisfactory treaty The
probable result. on the other hand, of
presidential ratification would be a revo-
luton fomented by the anti-canal elements
Under the circumstances it is the duty of
this government to take the initiative in
opening the negotiations with Costa Rica
and Nicaragua for which Congress has spe-
officially provided. Further dalliance with
the Panama proposition will weaken our
position with those countries and will not
strengthen US in Colombia

MiSSi SSippi.

The Vicksburg Herald accuses The Star
of a ''jaundiced judgment" in the matter Of
the Vardaman triumph. Let us see Two
compaign: the policy for which he stood
and the personality of the man.
The negro in America, his present and his
future. was the topic to which Major Var
daman gave particular attention. He made
that issue paramount. and treated it with
frankness which left nothing to be desired
on that score. He took position squarely
upon the proposition that the negro is
born newer of wood and drawer of water
and that the policy of educating him flies
directly In the face of the divine plan. Ac-
fund of the state of Mississippi be divided
so as to give the negro the benefit of next
to none OF 1t at all The best way to keep
him in his appointed place was to shut him
out OF the school-house. Such was the Var
daman cry throughout the campaign and
II was heard on every stump.
The man himself was an object of interest
because of the personalities in which he in
duiged- His abuse of the President of the
United states was so coarse and revolving
that the country at large was astounded
In his speeches and in the editorial columns
OF his newspaper he applied epithets to Mr.
Roosevelt which made a new record In the
line OF blackguardism. The most ADAM
doned bum in the lowest of doggeries,

enemy never delivered himself Of senti-
ments more depraved or of language more

Mr.. Fairbanks at Toledo.

The aulopv Of Mr. Mckinley delivered by
Senator Fairbanks at Toledo yesterday was
warm with feeling and fragrant with sin
cerfty 1t came from man competent on
every account to deal with the subject. He
spoke from knowledge as well as from ad-
miration and affection, and was not laying
a wreath on the grave of man whom he
had ever derided or opposed. He was not
putting praise into form with the hope or
having 1t read as criticism of Mr.. Roose-
Welt. The Mckinley in life having received
his hearty support the Mckinley in death
was entitled to his praise; and he could de-
liver it without extravaganza or hidden
meaning.
As much cannot be said for eulogies that
now and then appear in certain other quar-
tiers. For instance, there are trust organs
which appear to be passionately devoted to
the memory of Mr.. Mckinley, and yet while
he lived. and particularly while he was
struggling for first place. covered him daily
with ridicule. They dubbed him Bill. the
STILL at that time. They declare now,
with double leads, that he was one of the
greatest of men. If they can in some way
injure the present occupant of the White
House by intimating that there has been
decline In force and character there they
will accomplish all they have in view. =
For another instance, there are news
papers which dwell now upon the quiet
courage and determination which marked
Mr.. McKinley's course Immediately pre-
ceding the war with Spain. At that time
they were describing him as a spineless
being who did not know his own mind
They were the real authors of the opinion
which Senior de LONE communicated to his
government, and which so completely mis-
led the authorities at Madrid The present
object of these newspapers is to strengthen
their attack against Mr.. Roosevelt, whom
they describe as reckless swaggerer hunt
ing trouble.
For still another instance, there are news
papers which now laud to the skies the way
Mr. Mckinley managed the race question
in the south. And yet while he was max
Ing his southern appointments-and some of
them were indefensible-they denounced
him In unsparing terms. They represented
him as insulting the intelligence and man
hood of the south in order to redeem cam
paign promises Socketed in scoundrelism
But all of these words are eaten now
gulped down-in effort to serve against
Theodore Roosevelt at the polls
Such eulogy as MIR. Fairbanks has de-
hvered is striking for the truth it conveys
and for the honest object in view EuIogies
which have for their Interior aim the injury
of Mr.. Mckinley's successor in the White
House poor stuff

Turbine Ocean Steamers.

1t is doubtless no more than a coincidence
that announcement is now made immedi-
ately after the record-breaking westward
run of the Deutschland. that the Cunard
line intends to build two turbine steamers
for the Atlantic service in the hope of
wrestling the speed supremacy from Ger
many. No formal verihcation Of this report
is yet at hand. but II may nevertheless be
considered as probable. in view of the
efforts which have been made during the
past two years to persuade the companies
controlling the Atlantic passenger service
to adopt this device. The turbine advocates
claim that there is no practical reason
against the enlargement Of the engine to
meet the requirements OF the big liners.

The Powers and the Balkan Troubles

1t grows more evident daily that the pol
icy of the powers Of Europe toward Bull
garia and Turkey will probably be the same
as that adopted by them toward Greece
and Turkey in 1887. when those TWO couE-
tries went to war over practically the same
issue of the sultan's treatment of his Chris
tan subjects. Greece was encouraged oy
the previous attitude of the powers to be-
lieve that she would suffer no material re-
duction of territory IN case of defeat at
the hands of Turkey. When she was forced
into war by the national society she found
the continental governments neutral though
closely observant. The position of the
Greek government was very like that Of
Bulgaria today Within the Grecian-Turk-
ish territory were many thousands of agita-
tors intent upon forcing the issues and Sc
curing the amelioration of the condition or
the Christian subjects of the Turk. Just so
today there is in Bulgaria a definite organ
ization. styled the Macedonian committee,
which keeps in close touch with the insur-
gent factors within the Turkish borders.
This committee has fomented strong pub
lie sentiment in Bulgaria in favor of war
with Turkey, based upon the belief that
even should Turkey whip Bulgaria the pow
ers will not permit heavy war indemnity.
But in the case of Greece in 1897 this hope
was not altogether justified The treaty Of
peace stipulated money indemnity of 49,
COO, 900 the cession Of Thessaly and the de-
limitation of the borders greatly to the ad-
vantage of Turkey.
Russia and Austria, it Is reported, have
agreed upon joint note to the other pow
ers, declaring for strict neutrality in case
Bulgaria goes to war with Turkey. France
WILL of course, follow the lead of Rus
sia Germany's interests all lie in the
direction of the sultan's program. England
has given no sign of desire to intervene,
either in conjunction with Italy or single
handed These seems to be no possible
chance of a coalition to prevent the Turk
from devastating Bulgaria even as he is to-
day laying waste the whole of Macedonia.

COwpea Hay as a Feed.

In feeding value veil cured COW
pea hay Is similar and about equal
to alfalfa and red clover hay.
Curing of COW pea hay requires
especial care to avoid dropping Of
the leaves which occurs if the
vines are over ripe when cut, or
if in curing they are too long ex-
posed to sunshine. We often
cut just after the dew is off, turn
the vines several hours before
sunset and put in windows or
cocks toward the middle of the
next day. Hay caps are very
useful in curing pea vines if the
weather becomes unfavorable.
The MIXTURE of crab grass with
pea vines aids in retaining the
leaves. We have SATISFACTORY v
used German mIllet for the same
purpose with the early varieties
Of COW peas, sowing one bushel
of the latter and one peck of the
millet per acre. AS emphasizing
the Importance of retaining the
leaves by curing peavines partly

There is more inquiry for
crops suitable for hog raising
than we ever heard. 1t seems
to be at last dawning on the pee
pie that hogs must be raised
mainly on something, cheaper
than corn. The continued high
prices OF meat and lard also are
helping to impress the lesson
that We must raise instead of buy
our meat. Fall sown rye, oats,
barley, wheat vetch, etc, make
good winter grazing and early
spring feed. Then early peas,
followed by sorghum, peanuts,
potatoes, chufas, artichokes, etc.
insure us fairly good grazing ev-
cry day in the year and good fat
producing foods most of the
time. These home raised Ias
turing crops with a little corn
will enable the people of the Gulf
States to produce meat cheaper
than any other part of the coun-
try.
