NOT MUCH CAUSE FOR JOY.

1t is beginning to appear that the
recent manifesto of the Gar, concern
ing which so much has appeared in
the public prints and which has been
interpreted to mean that a step had
been taken for the uplifting of the
Russian people and the advancement
of Russia second only to that of the
liberation of the serfs, does not mean
as much as it was at first thought it
did. 1t is said that there is satisfac-
ton with the forthcoming abolition
of collective peasant responsibility and
the letters placed by the commune sys-
TEN on individual freedom" but that
there is bitter disappointment that the
main things for which the people have
been hoping for a long time are with
held.
When the manifesto was first pub
lished II was the understanding that
large measure OF local self government
would be granted and that there would
be a degree of freedom In religious
matters that would carry joy through
out the empire. Indeed some of the
Russian papers said as much, but then.
IT is pointed out, no reliance is to be
placed upon the comments of the Rus
sian press, for the reason that 1t is
not permitted to express its opinions
freely. A portion of it is so anxious
to please the authorities that it says
only what 1t thinks will be acceptable
to them. The other part, the part that
would comment with careful regard
for truth, is afraid to offend the censor
of the press. To offend that authority
is to risk loss of paper and imprison-
ment.
One of the government organs is
quoted on the manifesto as saying that
the Car is not going to depart in the
least from the principles of absolute
monarchy and of the Orthodox Church.
From this 1t appears that local ad-
ministrations are just as much de-
pendent upon the central government
as they ever were and will be held to
Just as strict an accountability. Some
of these days the Russian people Will
make themselves heard. 1t may be,
however, that a revolution will be nee
essary first. The masses are slowly
becoming enlightened. A psint will be
reached eventually wkese rseoRms will
be demanded, and a refusal OF shem
will not be accepted

Science is nothing If not iconoclastic.
One of the prettiest of scriptural stories
is that of the Star of Bethlehem, which
appeared TO the shepherds on the night
of the nativity and lead them to the
birthplace of the Babe in the manager.
That the star was miraculously appoint
ed to act as guide to the Bethlehem
stable, wherein lay the future Saviour
Of the world, has been generally ac-
cepted. But now comes science, with
Profs. David Forbes Of London and
Garrett P. Seryiss of this country as
its spokesman. saying that there was
nothing miraculous about the star;
that as a matter of fact it was not a
star but a comet which has since come
to be known as "Halley's comet" be-
cause it was first identified and de-
scribed by an astronomer of the name
of Haley. This comet 1t is said, makes
its reappearance every seventy-rve
years, and Is due in our skies next
in the year 1911. According to the cal
culations of the scientists, assuming
that Halley's comet was the real
star" the birth of Jesus in the man
ger occurred eleven years prior to the
beginning of the Christian era as at
present reckoned.

THE PANAMA CANAL TREATY.

The Colombian treaty would have
been ratified before the adjournment
of the Fifty-seve1th Congress II Sen
ator Morgan had not made such long
fight against tiff he had not talked
against time and prevented vote upon
it.
The amendments which the Demo-
cratic senator's offered were good ones
and would have been made part Of
the treaty if there had been a posi-
bility of getting the Colombian gov
eminent to accept them. Senator
Spooner, who seemed to be the chief
defender of the treaty on the floor of
the Senate, said that he had no OBJ
lection to the amendment providing
that the United States should have the
right to defend the canal-in other
words should have sovereignty of the
territory Immediately adjacent to the
canal-but that it had been found i'm
possible to get COlombia's consent
when the treaty was drafted. In fact,
it is doubtful If the Colombian gov
eminent could grant such conces-
sion without a change in the Colon
bian constitution.
Senator Platt of Connecticut is
quoted as saying that if it should be-
come necessary for the United States
to defend the canal against aggres-
sion of any sort they would occupy Co
lomblan territory If 1t could not be de-
de-
weak state and could not make pro-
test against occupying her territory
that would be effective. If the
treaty had been amended it is
probable that it would have failed
to receive the approval of the Colon
bian government; at least great delay
would have been inevitable. The treaty
might have finally failed and the ca
nal project defeated for a time at
least.
Now that the treaty has been rati-
fed and the way cleared for begin
ming work on the canal it is probable
that much will be heard about the
mighty task the United States have
undertaken, and the impossibility of
making the canal a success. All the
problems in connection with the under
taking have been considered by our
engineers. and they have declared that
the canal can be completed and for a
much less sum than canal on the
Nicaragua route could be built. No
doubt many lives will be sacrificed in
the work and many millions of dollars
more than estimated will be spent, but
that the canal will be constructed there
is no good reason for doubling.
