THF STORY OF PANAMA-

Il is not news that the United States govern
ment had some warning in advance Of the revO-
tuition at Panama. As matter Of fact all the
world had IT, Long before the Hay Herran
treaty WAS hlackmailed TO death at Bogota,
when the first limitations of such fate ap-
peared. representa- tive men at Panama plainly
declared that if the treaty We're defeated and

Panama would revolt and proclaim her indie
pendence. There was no secret about it. Such
revolutionary talk WAS open and general As
time went on il became more earnest, and
preparations for carrying ii into effect were
made. The United States government was
neither blind nor deaf even il the Colombian

THREE GREAT MEN.

The Chamber of Commerce of the State Of
New-York did well yesterday in paying high
tribute to Hamilton, Jay and Clinton. 1t would
not be easy to name three other men of New
York or Of America, for all that. of their times
so worthy of the gratitude and honor of this
city, this State and this nation. They were
men whose labors and whose genius enriched
the whole nation. Their benefcence was mani
tested i'm many ways But perhaps their high
est titles TO fame are such rs make especial ap-
peal to the nation at the present time, and 10
this State and city also at this time.
II was Hamilton who founded the financial
and commercial greatness Of the United States,
a fact especially to be remembered in the finan-
cial and commercial capital of the nation. 1t
was Hamilton. too. who sounded the first key
note of continental supremacy for this nation.
who first formulated the policy which Jefferson
fulfilled in the Louisiana Purchase, and who set
before the eyes of the American people the
ideal OF a United States extending unbroken
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the
Gulf 10 the lakes. 1t was Jay who, by his
masterful diplomacy, secured for US the North
west Territory, and thus opened and fastened
open the door to continental dominion. But for
him we might have remained 4 seaboard coun-
try. with the vast valleys of the Ohio and Mis-
sisSippi in alien hands. 1t was Clinton who
opened the nrst great highway OF commerce De-
tween this coast and the inland seas and made
the Northwest Territory a commercial appanage
OF New-York. The three men effected the trans
formation of strip Of coast States into con-
tinental nation, and bound the parts Of it to-
gether with bonds which, though based on
water were stronger than steel
In their own day they were not without
honor and not without oblOquy. Hamilton was
ragged against for his continental policy, which
his chief critic and opponent was fain TO exc
cute. Jay also did not lack criticism and bitter
opposition. We are not sure than any treaty
ever made 10y this government has been more
savagely denounced than that with which his
name is connected. That was not, of course,
the one 10y which he won the Northwest Terri
tory for us. but it was one Of inestimable i'm
pOrtance and benefcence. AS for Clinton, he
personally and his great canal project were for
years the favorite target for all the abuse au1
reviling of which Tammany Hall in those days
was capable. Splendidly has time vindicated
the deeds and the memory of those great men.
Once weaklings sought TO gain attention by
clamoring against them. Now the foremost men
Of city, State and nation can honor themselves
in no better way than by honoring them.

President and the Colombian governments I'M
truthful protest to Europe against America.
The facts-which every new revelation tends to
conhrm-are that Colombia attempted an ex-
tortlonate ''holdup" OF the United states; that
thus she provoked Panama To revolt and to Sc
cede; that she either purposely or stupidity let
herself be caught mapping; that when she found
herself thus caught she tried first TO bride the
United States to do for her the work she ought
to have done for herself. and them falling that,
asked TO be permitted TO smash the treaty or
1876 to smlthereens. and that the United States
government. in consideration Of these things,
came to the conclusion that IT was time to stop
such fooery and take matters into our own
hands" We see indication that In so doing
our government will incur anything but the
general approval of the nation and Of the
world

THE BRIDGE ENTRANCE.

simultaneously with the opening of the extra
loops for trolley cars at the Manhattan end of
the Brooklyn Bridge the attempt has been
made TO oblige passengers TO embark only at
the right hand side Of the station. In this
manner the convenience of those who alight
from arriving cars and that Of people who are
about TO board the latter will be promoted As
soon as the new system is fully understood BY
patrons of the trolley lines, it certainly ought
to work well. 1t is TO be hoped that the Bridge
Commissioner and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company will firmly adhere to the plan Just
adopted, and make no concession because the
full benefit of the arrangement has not been
realized at the start. Several days may be
necessary to educate the public into comp!-
ance.
Better results would undoubtedly have been
secured at the outset If those who are RESPONSE
bic for the change had given ample warning of
this innovation. Commendnbe zeal was exhib-
tied in advertising by signboards the new dis
tribution OF the cars. No instruction which
appealed TO the eye in similar fashion. how

NR. RRUCE AND MR. CUTTING.

The statement about the election made by the
president of the Republican County Committee
and published yesterday is creditabl to him and
gratifying In several respects. Mr.. Bruce al
ludes TO the error, which we have already ex-
posed, of figuring out an immense difference be-
tween the registration and the vote by emitting
to consider the defective ballots and those cast
for the Socialist-Labor, establishments and
Prohibition candidates. Mr.. Bruce is able to
show that the falling off was actually only
about 4.3 per cent. the lowest in many years
From an analysis which appears reasonable, he
concludes that S1.27 per cent of the Low vote
poled under the Republican emblem, and
1873 per cent under the fusion, and says: IL
do not claim that all the votes cast under the
Republican emblem were cast by Republicans
but do contend that these results show that
1.-THE Republicans were loyal TO fusion
When Mr.. Bruce was put at the head OF the
Republican County Committee he was not wide
ly known, but from the first his conduct and
utterances commended him to the confidence Of
the party If the election had convicted the Re
publican organization of grave faults, ii would
have been unjust to hold Mr.. Bruce largely re-
sponsible, inasmuch as he had been in charge
of affairs only short time and the conditions
which confronted him were not wholly favor
able. But we are glad to have the evidence of
his qualifications for the laborious place he holds
which the campaign seemed to furnish con-
firmed by fair examination Of the results. 1t
is particularly agreeable, furthermore, to note
this emphatic tribute from Mr.. Bruce TO the
head of the Citizens Union: Il believe Mr. Cut
ting to be broad minded, conscientious, I'M
selfish, patriotic man. He has labored unceas-
'ingy for years for the success of the cause
"of nOn-partisan municipal government, and
merits the gratitude of every friend of good
government. 1t great pleasure to be as
ISOLATED with him during the campaign" Mr.
Cutting well deserves such praise, and its publ,
bestOwal by the chairman of the Republican
County Committee is timely and effective.

CHARACTERISTIC.

We indebted to clipping bureau for tie
knowledge that The Watertown Times" in re-
plying to Tribune editorial on public school
affairs, accuses us of having gone back nearly
a year for quotation from its columns, In order
TO revive the school controversy. The fact is, as
our article plainly showed and THE Times
knew it 10 be, that got the quotation. not
from its files. but from recent issue Of THE
Daily Saratogian." which itself resurrected and
copied it in present support OF Superintendent
SINNERS active campaign for reelection.
This piece of misrepresentation by Mr.. Skin
ners home organ, paltry enough in itself, has
some Importance as an example of the methods
which his friends are employing in their eager
and anxious effort to convince the legislature
that the people want him to have another term
as Superintendent of Public Instruction.

THE PATRIOTISM OF MR.. CLARK

In the course of his remarks on the Cuban
bill in the House yesterday the Hon. Champ
Clark INDUCED in both prophecy and admo-
milton incidentally he also revealed in an
impressive manner the adamantine morality
which underlies his opposition to the rule cut
ting off amendments 10 the bill. Mr.. Clark
said: The probability is that the Democrats
will control the next House and elect the
next President The more of these ironclad
rules you ram down our throats the more you
will have rammed down yours" The Missouri
statesmans prediction to the result of next
years elections may have been trife rash,
but that can hardly be regarded as a fault. He
had TO take some risk In order to prepare the
way for what was to follow. This exclusion
of amendments" we understand the member
from Bowling Green to have remarked in sub
stance. lis all wrong. 1t is indecent and tyran-
''nical, and my soul abhors it, But so ahead, it
''you want to. Only remember that when we
get the chance we'll make you Republican des-
pots turn green with envy and chagrin."
There beyond pCradventure spoke the voice of
true patriotism.
In those halcyon and vociferous times when
hazing was deemed an indispensable factor in
the higher education. the freshman who
constrained by circumstances over which he
had no control TO stand on his window sin in
his nightshirt and repeat the Ten Command
ments for the benefit of the ungOdly was ac-
customed to solace himself with the promise
that next year he would compel somebody else
10 60 through the same exercise with sensa-
tiOnal variations. But it would be mistake to
suppose he cherished that resolve in a selfish
spirit. ON the contrary, he felt deep convic-
ton that the fame and prosperity of his alma
mater depended on its fulflment. And so it
is with MIR Clark. He is anticipating grim
and hOrrifying revenge for the suffering and
ignOminy inflicted on him this year, but there IS
no conscious disOyalty or meanness in his cal
culations. Love of country is the sentiment
which swells his bosom while he tells what
the next Congress will do in requital of what
the present Congress has done.
