NOT POLITICAL.
The Panama Matter Does Not Enter
Into the Presidential Campaign
In This Country.

Recognition of the de facto govern
ment of the republic of Panama does
not constitute a basis for q political
issue in the United States. Circum-
stances have put the United States, as
the agent of peace and protection on
the isthmus, in such a position that
it is bound to forestall any injury to
American citizens, and to recognize a
provisional administration. 1t has not
only kept within its rights so far, but
has done no more than it's duty, says the
st. Louis Republic (dem.).
The revolt against the Colombian
government will probably signify the
| success of the canal project, whether
Panama should remain Independent or
whether it should again unite with CO.
lombia. If Panama should continue as
free republic there should be no diff
ficulty in arranging a canal treaty. If
an unforeseen cause should once more
combine Panama and Colombia, har-
mony would not prevail unless Coom-
bia would acquiesce in the plans for an
interoceanic shipway.
Colombia melted the revolution by
dallying with the isthmian canal treaty
Panama considered the canal necessary
for its welfare, and the attitude of the
central government forced the trouble
The opinion was generally held that
Colombia did not accede to the plans
because some of its public officers had
| excessive itchiness of palm. The Unit
ed States government was not operat-
ing as a Legislative agent" or a finan-
cial-salve physician and it did not re-
| alize the Colombian dreams Colombia
then disregarded the interests of Pana-
ma, and Panama revolted.
The United States has large rights
and great authority, as well as grave
responsibility, in isthmian affairs. 1t
conformed to recognize duty in taking
steps for the maintenance of peace and
order and the protection of life and
property. While the canal affair.". in
which the United States is probably
the most interested party, was the cause
of the revolt, and while it is a matter
of international importance, it is,
theoretically, only an incident. Should
the revolution be beneficial to the Unit
ed States, as it will, there will be still
no reason for blaming this government
unless it proceeds to take offensive
steps beyond its recognized policy.
Any effort to make political issue OF
the Panama matter would have to be
| founded on not only the proceedings
connected with the revolution, but also
on the merits and benefits of the pro-
posed canal There is no dissent from
the view that canal would be good
for the southern, middle and western
states, and that it would do no injury
to the eastern and northern states. The
canal project seems to have the favor OF
nearly ali of the states and of most
| foreign governments. How the affair
could be made political issue by either
| party is hard to perceive The only
ground could be some unreasonable ex-
treme of interference not yet developed
| by our state department

REVIEW OF TRADE,
Signs of Improvement are Noted In
Several Hranches OF KusIness.


New York. Nov 2S.-R q. Dun u
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Seasonable temperature and holi-
day purchases stimulated retail
trade, making results more satisfac-
tory during the past week than at
any recent date. Improvement was
most conspicuous in heavy wearing
apparel and kindred lines that have
remained dull because of the mild
weather. Another encouraging fea-
ture was the resumption of work at
many mills, although there is stIli
much idle machinery, especially in
the textile and iron industries.
In view of the numerous wage re-
ductionS there is noteworthy har-
mony between employers and work
ers, indicating that labor leaders APP
preciate the necessity of sharing in
the readjustment. Grain shipments
increased with the approaching close
of navigation on the lakes, and
freight traffic was subjected to the
greatest pressure of the season.
Railway earnings for three weeks of
November averaged So per cent.
larger than last year.
1t is at last possible TO perceive an
improvement in the demand for pig
iron, due to the exhaustion of sup
plies by consumers, the extensive re-
duction in output and absence of fur
ther price concessions. business is
by no means brisk, nor is there any
expectation of wholesome activity
during the remaining weeks of this
year, yet there is evidence of return.

GROWERS STATEMENT.
MIR. Cleveland Declares that EBe Is Not
n Candidate for the Presidential
Nomination.

Nomination.
New York, Nov. 2S.-Grover Cleve-
land has sent the following letter to
the editor of the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle:
"Princeton, November 25, 1908.
"My Dear McKelway: l have want
ed for a long time to say something
which | think should be said to you
before others.
You can never know how CRATE
full | am for the manifestation of
kindly feeling toward me on the part
of my countrymen, which your initia-
tive has brought out. Your advo-
cacy in the Eagle of my nomination
for the presidency came to me as a
great surprise; and it has been sec
ondcd in such manner by democratic
sentiment that conflicting thoughts
of gratitude and duty have caused
me to hesitate as to the time and
manner of a declaration on my part
concerning the subject--if such n
declaration should seem necessary
or proper.
"In the midst OF it all and in full
view of every consideration present
ed. / have not for Il moment been
able nor am | now able, to open my
mind to the thought that in any cir
cumStanceS or upon any conSidera-
ton ! should ever again become the
nominee of my party for the presi-
dency.
My determination to do so is un-
alterable and conclusive.
This you, at least. ought to know
from me: and should be glad if the
Eagle were made the medium of it's
conveyance to the public. Very sim
cerely yours,

THE FAULT-FINDERS.

Democrats Raise All the
Objections.

fishing those trade relations with Cubs
so evidently demanded by her interests
and our own, says the Chicago Intel
Ocean.
Yet when the bill to do these very
things came up in the house the demo
Gratis sought to kill it with an amend.
ment to remove the differential duty or
refined sugar. The direct effect of such
amendment would be to transfer large
part of the sugar-refining industry from
the United States to Europe. Indirectly
it would destroy the sugar growing in.
dustry of democratic Louisiana, Missis.
sippi and Texas by depriving it of 6
nearby market of refneries.
OF course that was not what the dem.
ocrats really wanted to do. Had the
republicans accepted their propose,
they would have run crying to the sen.
ate to save leading industry of three
democratic states from the destructive
folly of their own democratic repre-
sentatives. What they really wanted tc
do was merely to put the republicans
in hole" by killing the Cuban treaty
so they could denounce the republican
administration for failing to carry out
a great national policy.

fault" was the phrase in which Speaker
Cannon at the close of the fifty-seventt
congress described the attitude of the
two great parties toward questions OF
national interest and honor. The accu-
racy of the description was again proved
by the course of the house democrats
And yet there are thousands of we'll
meaning democrats who cannot under
stand why the American people refuse
to trust their party with the great busi-
