TALK OF BARGE CANAL DELAY.

1t is reported from Albany that the opponents
Of the 1,OoO-ton barge canal, though overwhelm-
ingly defeated at the polls on Tuesday, have
not given UP the fight, but mean to carry II
into the next legislature and procure, If possible
a repeal of the act requiring the improvement
TO be made in case the popular vote should
sanction it The legislature is undoubtedly COM
petent to take that course If it sees fit, for the
constitution expressly provides In Article VII,
Section 4, that the legislature may at any time,
"after the approval of such law by the people
Elf no debt shall have been contracted In pur-
"suance thereof, repeal the same: and may at
ANY time by law forbid the contracting of any
further debt or liability under such law" The
anti-canal men, however, can hardly expect to
find votes enough in the Senate and Assem-
bly, TO repeal a law which has just been ap-
proved by the people in a remarkably decisive
manner.
Some Albany dispatches, without alluding to
possible attempts to have the law repealed, say
that the State authorities VIII do nothing tow
ard carrying out its provisions until the legis-
lature has assembled and the whole subject has
been further considered. II they are favorable TO
such programme Of delay, there is seemingly
nothing to prevent their adopting II, for the
act does not fix a time within which the first
step must be taken. 1t directs the Controller
to prepare bonds to an amount not exceeding
S1O1. 0O0,O 00 and to issue them from time to time
not more than 100000 in the course of the
first two years-and within three months after
issuing the said bonds or some part thereof
'the Superintendent of Public Works and the
Estate Engineer are hereby directed TO proceed
ito improve the Erie Canal, the Oswego Canal
sand the Champlain Canal in the manner here
'inbelow provided" But the Controller is ap-
parently at liberty to take his time about get
ting the bonds ready. 1t seems to have been in
tended that he should make reasonable haste
for the last legislature contingently appro-
priated to the work 100000 from the pro-
ceeds of the bond SALE instead OF leaving that
detail to its successor; but II viii evidently be
easy TO postpone action of any sort until after
the beginning of the next session.
Whether or not such postponement would
be judicious or generally approved is another
question. II the new electrical towing device,
which was commonly thought to have been sud-
denly projected into the discussion Just before
the election In the hope of making votes against
the canal improvement really renders an ex-
penditure Of S101, 100000 or any smaller sum m-
necessary, the fact certainly ought to be de-
monstrated soon possible. At the present
moment that magnificent claim seems to be
adapted to the traditional credulity OF 1.-THE ma
rineS."

Stntes is simply fulfilling not only It's rlght,

no concern with domestic broils In Colombia,

If they had ratified the recent canal treaty IN
stead of killing it. the United States would now
be bound TO assist them in suppressing this re-
bellion-if in such case, ii had occurred!
The future is TO be regarded with vigilance
and with patience. The revolutionists are al
ready clamoring for recognition by this govern
ment as an Independent power. Our State De-
partment will doubtless act with prudence and
deliberation Memory Of passages In our own
history viii restrain any untimely recognition,
or the promise of any. 1t is not the business OF
the United States TO aid rebels in any country
by recognizing their independence until that
independence is an established fact, or TO en-
courage them by promising such recognition.
1t is a matter OF course, without any special
promise. that recognition will be given when
ever and wherever il is deserved. Until 1T is
deserved it is not to be given or promised. and
should not be asked.

IsTHsuAy COMPLICATIONS.

The situation at Panama grows more serious
and more complicated and United States re-
sponsibility in connection with ii Increases.
Thus far that responsibility has been borne
with unimpeachabIe propriety, and it is TO be
expected that II win thus be borne and dis
charged throughout the whole incident The
strategic position Of the United States, diplo-
maticaIly speaking, is 50 strong, and the as
surance that things viii come our way" is so
ample. that there Is no need or excuse for any
thing that would even look like interested In

international obligation this country could not
afford TO incur the suspicion Of having in any

loss Of honor and for the loss Of the confidence
OF our neighbors We could better afford to

a canal than TO incur the reproach OF having
conspired against the integrity OF a friendly
sovereign State.
Thus Ear, as we have said. American hands
are clean, and we must regard with surprise
and regret the contrary limitations Of some Of
our contemporaries. IL may be that Panama

rNDIGEHTED INlTGRANTS.

The annual report of Commissioner Sargent
shows that more than $4,000 immigrants came
to this country in the fiscal year. of whom some
100000 were Italians, while stria-Hungary
furnished 100000 1t might be supposed that
the governments of those two countries would
become apprehcnsive over such extensive drains
upon their population. Neverthe s.. they seem
TO exhibit no signs of alarm. But of the 92l,3l5
arrivals, 1S5 GG7 could neither read nor write.
The influx of such host of ignorance may
well cause some uneasiness in this republic.
The total of the newcomers exceeded by 10j,043
the figures Of any previous year Is it possible
that Uncle Sam may be burdened witt too much
undgested immigration?

ton New-York has ever had, an administration,
to quote Mr.. Grout, las efficient capable and
honest as the people can expect from human
beings" Certainly that was worth while. The
temporary reaction, disappointing as II is, may
only intensity appreciation of its excellence and
prepare the way for still greater triumphs. The
Republican party might well have aban-
doned protection after the defeat of 1892 and
given up hope OF victory in 1896 as now to
abandon its efforts to give New-York honest
government in the only way that it is possible
TO secure 1t. The work must go on. If the Re
publicans have failed in any way to make flu
sion practicable" they must do better next
time. They must teach their minor leaders and
their adherents that municipal partisanship
is true Republican doctrine and win them from
any devotion to the Tammany ideal Of govern
ment for graft" and spoils. If this election
has shown a weakness in the party as an eff
cient instrument for good government, it is the
duty of the leaders to institute thOroughgoing
reforms and put the organization IN shape to
do better next time. In State and national con-
tests the organization demands and secures from
all its functiOnaries devoted effort. They owe
and must be made to give the same devotion to
that other equally important and equally obga-
tory side of party work which consists of lend
ing its machinery without hope of selfish party
gain to the establishment of honest city govern
ment. We believe that when the smoke of this
campaign has cleared away Republicans will
take UP that task and be ready to join other
workers for municipal betterment in the next
one. We hope, too, that the honest Democrats
who have organized to do n similar work To-
cally, while serving Democracy in State and
nation, viii go on TO strengthen themselves
The leaders of the Citizens Union are undis
mayed. They VIII keep up their organization,
which grows more perfect each year. They an
tagonize neither party, and should have the
support OF good men in both parties. The strug
gle for good city administration has only begun.
Some great triumphs have been achieved Now
comes what should be merely a time of prepa-
ration.
