Secession "Then and Now"

.
Tho Colombian Republic has made ear
/ nest protest to Great Britain against
i the action OF the United States govern
]! ment toward Panama, claiming that the
1 main responsibility for the secession OF
Panama lies with the United States gov.
ernment. firstly, by fomenting the sepa-
/ ratist spirit, of which, there seems to be
clear evidence: secondly. by hastily
acknowledging the independence Of tho
revolted province: and. finally, by pre-.
venting the Colombian government from
!. using proper means to repress the Te-
bellion.''
As II that were not severe enough. the
protest goes on to say in conclusion that
"the hastiness in recognizing the new
government is under these circumstances
4 all the moro surprising to the Colombian
\ government, as they recollect the ener-
settc opposition Of Washington to the
Acknowledgement OF tho beigerency Of
\ the Confederates by the Powers during
& the civil war
But the Colombian authorities seem to
forget that It makes n great difference
whose OK Is gored. the Southern States
had greater caues for secession than had
the little State Of Panama, and the South
ern States had the constitutional right to
secede: right which each and every
State reserved to Itself when the Union
was formed; a right which Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams says was recognized In
all parts OF the Union in the early days OF
the republic: and right about which there
was a, best an honest difference Of
opinion among men at the time that the
South withdrew. In those days. how
ever, secession was regarded at Washing
ton as a. high crime and misdemeanor.
Those who seeded were called rebels and
traitors. and. as tho Colombian protest
says, there was energetic opposition to
thu acknowledgment of the belllgerency
OF the Confederates by the powers Of the
world
But, manifestly. sentiment at Wash
8ingtnn has undergone radical change
since that time. Secession in Panama Is
regarded as a righteous and honorable
thing, and II the government at Washing
ton did not actually foment strife and
encourage the State OF Panama to Sc
cede. 1t was at least very prompt to re-
cognize the act OF secession. and to re-
coga.ze the secesslor government before
It wss out OF Its swaddling clothes.
However. Panama has seeded and set
up for itself. Tho new republic has been
recognized by the United States govern
ment and all the protests which Colon,-
bia can make will amount to nothing.
Saul. the King of Israel. once said to
David. the shepherd boy. II have played
the fool" When a man plays the fool.
there IL no escape from the consequences.
The only thing that he can do Is to take
his medicine and endure 1t. The same is
true OF q nation. The same Is true OF
Colombia
Tho Colombian Senate played the fool
and Ike the dog In the fable lost every.
thing by being too greedy. Panama played
smart and seceded-and secession Is al
ways right-when 1t succeeds,

wildly In italian. and as far as could be
gathered from his DISCONNECTED statements
he had been Kidnapped. drugged, tohbed
and subjected to other cruel treatment.
He says two men came to him on Friday
and aeked him to go with them TO the

selves as detectives and Ted him into
cellar. where he was bound and gagged
and kept three days. They took from him
SO OF his own money and 500 belonging
to his sister, besides other vslnsbles. For
many hours the man who held him pris-
oner kept revolver pointed at his head.
The result Of all this was to put a strain
upon his nerves which left him almost
