EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Republicans are pleased to see
that the democrts are trying to
make a party issue out of the
Panama affair. The American
mople want the cansl and will
surely punish the party which
opposes the present treaty or even
makes an attack on the President.
During the discussion OF the treaty
in the United State Senate, and
elsewhere, the case of the Ad-
miuistrstion has been we'll stated.
When the democrats assaial it they
are CERTAIN of defeat. 1t is no
question OF sentiment or OF theory,
a,ut of fact.
Columbia rejected the treaty Of
fered her by this country. Her
reason for doing SO was to wait a
year Or two and when the conces-
sion to the French canal company
would run out. she hoped to geti
from the United States the forty
million which was to he paid to
he French stockholders. For this
klfsL purpose, Colombia was will
ling to delay the construction OF
the great waterway, to risk involv-
ing herself and this county in
trouble with France, who would of
course protect the interests of her
citizens in the canal company, and
lastly to disregard utterly the in
terests of her own citizens who
lived in Panama.
After the treaty was rejected,
talk of secession of the isthmus
VAS general. 1t was discussed in
all the papers of the United States
and everywhere else. Given the
prorocation and the political hab-
its Of Latin American people, a
revolution in Panama was inevita-
BILE. 1t needed not the slightest
instigation in Washington, and it
is Ridiculous to blame our officials
IN the Navy Department for pre-.
pairing themselves for an event
which everyone foresaw. Not to
have done 80 would have been the
jast cause of complaint. Blind as
IVES Colombia the state of affairs
~ the isthnus, even she realized
at a revolution was probable and
Md sent troops to Panama.
By treaty and by obligations to
America interests aud the interests
of the commercial world, our gov;
ernment is bound to prevent hos
tilities on or near the isthmian
railroad, and its terminals, Panama
and Colon. Many times we have
xercised this right or fulfilled this
|ty, and this paticular time it
ppens to be- Colombian troops
hich are refused permission to
nd. The easiest answer to the
itics of the Administration is to
SIX them to say what else could
have been done. The world looks
ut the result. Colombia has lost
what she was unable and unfit to
keep and the world has gained
what it has right to have, the
canal.
