COLOMBIAN BOMBAST.

The promise that General, now Pres
ident, Reyes. of the United States of
Colombia. made to Admiral Coghlan,
to the effect that, If war ensued from
the establishment of the Republic of
Panama, 1.-The United States would
have to fight the entire Colombian peo-
pie, and that it would be second
Boer war" shows the ignorance and
the incapacity for reason of men who
are rated as statesmen in that coun-
try. A very few facts will dispose of
the assumed analogy. General or
President Reyes is not Dom Paul by
a long way. Colombian generals and
Boer generals are of very different
breeds. The same observation holds
true with reference to the Colombian
and Boer armies. The Beers had
made preparations for war for many
years and had accumulated its sinews
in the form of available money. CO.
lomba has neither money nor credit.
A war between Colombia and the
United States would resemble the Boer
war in one particular. for the Colom-
bians would be badly worsted. and
that without much delay, and instead
of 100000 men, not one tenth of the
number would be needed. and the eX
Dense would be comparatively light.
The analogy of General Reyes would
be correct also in another respect, II
its application were reversed. Pan
ANA Is unanimous in favor of its own
independence and of the treaty. If
Colombia attempts coercion 1t would
be doing exactly what the Beers claim
ed against Great Britain. In the in
terest of its own corrupt politicians and
of the transcontinental railroads. 1t
would pursue n policy of subiugation,
that could scarcely be successful, even
If Panama We're unaided, but, with
Uncle Sam at its back. the soil of the
new republic would be so hot to the
would leave it with the rapidity of fleas
on a heated skillet.
1t is highly improbable that Colon
hia will enter into contest. in which
It would stand alone, without a popu
lation or a government that would
command any sympathy or aid what
ever. The expectation of General
Reyes of n coalition with other South
American republics. if the news dis
patches are to be believed. has already
fallen to the ground. The great DOW
ers have recognized Panama, and, to
all appearances, the incident is viz
tually closed. and the prelmnaries for
the excavation and construction of the
Isthmus canal settled.

THE MILITIA.

The need OF a strong militia organiza-
ton to back up the regular army In
case OF war does not apply alone to Ha-
wall With the comparatively small
army of paid soldiers, the United States
depends more upon her citizen soldiery
than any other nation. This has been
emphasized not only in the recent mill
tary utterances in Honolulu but also in
high military circles generally. At n
banquet for the army and navy given
in Philadelphia last month, General 5.
NJ. y. Young, now the head of the
United States army. gave utterance to
the following expression:
"The solicitude OF Congress for mill
tary establishment has not been con-
fined to enacting laws for the benefit
of n regular army, but has extended to
the liberal provision for both the volun-
teer and the militia.
I'VE have upon our statute books per
manent legislation under which a
volunteer army may be speedily Great
ed and the militia quickly brought into
the service of the United States as
part Of the first line of defense. There
is thus substantial cause for congratu-
lations that after a century OF only par
TALLY successful effort, we ma our
selves in better condition today than
ever before to meet all questions of
defense or offense with which we may
be confronted. The effort should be to
move progressively onward to n still
higher development of our military re-
sources and to guard against lapse
into feeling of indifference to the
highly important necessities.
"To utilize the great military re-
sources of our country and to direct
this conceded strength into the most
useful channels Is the military problem
which confronts us today. The recent
organization of a staff has done more
to promote the efficiency OF the army
Of the country than any other act OF
legislation which Congress has pro-
yided,"

A NEW UNIVERSITY.

We are pleased to see that our young
Portuguese friends are deep in projects
for higher, political education. o. They
are coming of age and, having matric-
ulated in the primary school of ward
politics, in their capacity of lockers on,
they are eager to study the loftier du-
ties Of statecraft, in the guise of par
Elephants To veracious Lusitanian
of Punchbowl we are indebted for the
news that n college of politics is to be
established on the slopes back of town
"a university in facial which the
Portuguese youth are to sit at the feet
of local Gamaliels and learn how to put
American citizenship next to the offices
and get all there is in both. The COM
plete faculty has not yet been chosen
but the names of Prof. Gear, Prof.
Dunno, Prof. Breckons and Prof.
Humphreys have been given us. Prof.
Gear is scheduled for the chair of Po-
strate the peris OF applied graft and
warn the young Portuguese against the
growing practice of using the courts
for political purposes. Prof. Gear will
alternate in this course, ii is said, with
Prof. Humphreys. Professors Breck-
ons and Dunno have not chosen their
chairs US yet, but We are led to suppose
that much Of their labor will be given
to undoing the work of Professors Gear
and Humphreys, 1t would not be a
Portuguese University II there We're
not divisions in the faculty-or fac
tionality" as our informant words it.
The motto of the University is al
ready chosen and will be chseled in
the main archway of the largest build
ing on the campus-'ll Busto WAS"
There is a sweet Lusitanian simplicity
in the motto and it shows that as in
the case of Girard College of Philadel-
phia, the doors of the Punchbowl Uni
versity are not open to everybody.
Vivas is barred. If he enters there
he will leave hope behind and run the
risk of being soused by a pail of dirty
water balanced over the door. If that
does not squelch him we are given to
understand that he will be sat on by
Professor Gear and his estate Sumner
lied by Prof. Humphreys.

GETTING THE
BLANKS READY

Auditor Fisher is bsily engaged in
preparing the books and blanks which
will be required by the counties on
January 4th. The room occupied by
the garbage department in the capitol
building has been stored with ton
or two of heavy bound books and an
enormous quantity of blanks, which
will be sent to the various counties
within a week or ten days.
The Legislature voted an appropri-
alton of $4,000 for the purchase of
supplies of this kind for the counties.
and in this one thing there will be no
difficulty because OF the lack of the
funds. Most of the blank books are
ready and the auditor will send them
in plenty of time for the use of the
county officers.

1t is natural for Great Britain and
Holland to want Panama to assume a
part of Colombia's foreign debt, but
such request would not be made of
strong power. Possibly the idea may
become a basis of compromise between
Panama and Colombia, in which case
the assumption of a $4,000, 900 dent
would be no great matter. Evidently
Great. Britain and Holland, in loanins
money to Colombia, regarded Panama's
canal route as valuable part of the
debtors negotiable assets.

The nature of the crisis with Colom-

tant news will be that of a collision
between United States marines and
