To the outside public--at least tc q
large part of it in this eountry-it was
no doubt something of surprise to
learn from Washington dispatches, says
the New York Commercial, that the
United States Government is already
engaged in digging the Panama Canal.
This, too before the Republic of CO.
lombia has taken any action in ratifi-
cation of the canal treaty already
signed by the Government of the Unit
ed States.
The title to all the existing canal
rights. properties and improvements is
still vested in the Panama Canal Com
pany, to which this Government has
promised to pay s4o,0oo.oOe for their
transfer; but, when that tentative
agreement was reached the construct
ing company naturally wanted to quit
the work, as all money paid out for
1t from that date would be dead loss
to the company. So 1t was arranged
through our Department of State and
the company that this Government
should pay for all the work done be-
tween the reaching of the agreement
and the taking Of formal possession.
1t is stated on good authority that
the Panama Canal Company now en-
ploys on the isthmus l60 civil engin-
GERS, As physicians and 1900 foremen
and laborers. For what they are do
ing now these men viii be paid by the
United States. 1t is estimated that
the daily expense Of construction is
at least 5000.
So, In addition to the s40o00,0O0 TO
be paid for the porperty, the United
States already ewes the canal COM
psay for nearly two months work at
5000 a day, and the bill will keep on
Increasing until Colombia ratifies the
treaty and titles to the property pass.
ifssis is well enough if our Govern
ment is getting what it pays for-if, too.
the work is being done as c1r own
canal engineers would approve. 9th
erwise, we are tied up to pretty sharp
bargain, it would appear. And the
Colombian Government can keep US
tied there indefinitely, if it sees fit to
delay ratification of the treaty.
The Subcommittee of the Isthmian
Canal Commission that sails from New
York for Colon is to investigate the
affair from the time the United States
assumed responsibility for construction
and viii ascertain the exact cost both
for work done and TO be done.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
Republic Of Colombia will put an end
speedily to the existing arrangement
by ratifying the treaty. Otherwise the
canal company may build it in its en-
tirety, with the United States paying
all the bills.

For long time the two year old
child of Mr. P. L. Mcpherson, SO N
Tenth street, Harrisburg, Pa, would
sleep but two or three, hours in the
early part of the night, which made 1t
very hard for her parents. Her mother
concluded that the child had stomach
trouble, and gave her half of one OF
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets, which quieted her stomach.and
she slept the whole night through. Two
boxes of these Tablets have effected a
permanent cure and she is now well
and strong. For sale by r. H. Beers

DEATH RATE DECREASING.

10 per cent in the general death rate.
The decline in consumption is more
marked than any other disease. Many
causes are attributed, but it is safe to
say that DR. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds is re-
sponsible for the decline, to a large
extent. Many life has been saved by
it's use. There is nothing anywhere
