the assertion of right which had
be en- long since conceded in principle
~ the government of Colombia.
by authorization of congress the
president entered into a treaty with
, the government of Bogota for the
construction of canal by way of
the isthmus of Panama. Wishing to
show every consideration to the gov
ernment of Colombia, the treaty con-
tanned provisions of extraordinary
lliberality.
''The treaty was promptly ratified
by the senate of the United States
and rejected unanimously and with
out consideration by that of Colombia.
The suggestions which have been
made to this government since the
failure of the treaty in Bogota, of a
renewal of negotiations, have been
/ too vague and too extravagant to
i merit the serious consideration of
the United States; and they were
such as to create the impression on
the minds of the people of Panama
that there was no reasonable prospect
of the accomplishment of the objec,
upon which their hope and desires
had been centered for many years

DISPATCHES from Washington state
that the first week of the extra ses-
sion of Congress will have four brief
sessions, and will adjourn from Thurs
day until Monday, Tuesday the Pres
ident's message will be received and
read. Adjournment will follow its
reading, as a caucus of Republican
Senators is to be held in the after
noon. Wednesday will be devoted
largely to the introduction of bills
and Thursday will be a short legisla-
tive session unless discussion of the
Panama situation is precipitated by
the introduction of resolutions ask
ing for information. 1t is the inten-
tion of Senator Morgan to introduce
resolutions on the subject, and these
NAV be discussed under the rules on
the day following their presentation.
The Republican members of the Sen
ator will interpose 40 objection to a
discussion of the Panama and canal
qestions, but it is not likely that any
action will be taken until after the
committees are reorganized.

Democrats to ASSdil
the Administration.

Always grasping for some sort of
an issue, the Democrats in Congress
are preparing to assail the national
administration because it recognized
the new republic of Panama. Already
some of the empty-headed members
of that party are intimating that
this government was virtually
party to the revolution which cul
minated in the secession of the
isthmian state, and are alludiDg to
what they call .'land grabbing by the
United States" 1t is doubtful, how
ever, whether the level-headed Demo-
Gratis in the Senate and in the House
will stand for such an idiotic policy
on the part of their less intellectual
friends. The Republican leaders to
man indorse President Roosevelt's
course in the matter, and will stand
by him.
There has been some loose talk
among arriving members of Congress,
especially among the newer ones that
Congress might be able to make an
issue with the President over his
speedy recognition of the new repub-
lie of Panama, and that Congress
might even feel it necessary to re-
pudiate the Presidents action. But
the members who talk in that way
will know more when they have been
a week or so in Washington, and one
of the things they will learn is that
Congress has no more voice in the
matter of the recognition of for
eign government than has the Cleve-
land city council. Recognition is
purely an executive act, and was lorg
ago settled by established practice.
1t was much debated by Congress in
the early days. Congress claimed
the right to share this privilege with
the President, and Henry Clay in
1918, in attempting to force the hand
of President Monroe to recognize the
new republic of Beunos Ayres, Co
lombia and Chile. made speech in
support of an appropriation for the
salary of minister to those coun-
tries, but it was clearly the opinion
of Congress that it could not inter
fere in a matter which was purely
executive. The question has been
discussed time and time again.
Congress may censure President
Roosevelt for having entered into
relations with the republic of Pana-
, ma if it is so inclined, or il may show
its disapprovsl of the Presidents act
by refusing to make appropriations
Tor a minister and consuls to the new
republic when these appropriations
are presented for consideration, but
that is the only way it can mark its
easure.--Cleveland Leader.
