THE CANAL TREATY LIMIT.

The time limit for the ratification OF
the canal treaty by Colombia expires
today, and after this date our govern
ment viii be az liberty to declare its
position and state its further inten-
lions. The Colombian government has,
practically already rejected the treaty,
for II cannot be reconsidered In the
form In which II was presented, and
that form, II IL understood, Is the one
in which this country desires II to pass,
except for minor changes that Colom-
bia might deem necessary.
The suggestion has been made that
one state OF the Colombian republic,
Panama, might secede and continue
the negotiations with this country for
canal, Such an outcome of the re-
lection of the canal treaty Is, Of course
possible Should, however the seces-
sion occur, the United States would be
bound. by honor, to keep out OF the
quarrel and In no way encourage the
instruction, neither morally, imam
clally or otherwise But II the lnsur-
gents should happen to be successful,
and ask for recognition as an inde-
pendent state, after having won inde-
pendence, there Is no reason why rec
ognitlon should be withheld. And In
that case Panama might grant what
Colombia refuses.sr But there Is no
necessity OF considering a so remote
possibility II Colombia refuses the
benefits the canal would bring to her,
there are other routes that will do just
as well.
There is Il suspicion though. that
the treaty was defeated through the
employment of American money. IL
that Is the case, the country has trail
tors within It's borders, who do not
hesitate to employ the wealth they
have extracted from the people, to de-
feat the plans OF the government That
is the most serious phase OF the entire
canal question.

IN MEMORY OF sERvErUs.

People Of this country are being ask
ed to contribute means for the erection,

professors of Geneva,as kind OF atone

that advanced thinker. AS everybody
knows, the judicial murder Of Servetus
Is the blacklist stain on the annals of
the reformation, and this EFFORT to blot
1t out is natural enough. Whether II is
successful, is another question. Serve

who was possessed OF keen intellectual
curiosity. lie reached a point Of view
which was practically that of the Uni-
tartan Of the present day. Calvin
warned him that II he came within his
reach he would have him sent to the
stake Tor heresy, Unfortunately Serve
tus arrived one day at Geneva on his
way to Italy, and Calvin kept his word.
The Spaniard was tried by the Genevan
authorities for heresy Calvin was prac-
tically hts prosecutor, and on the 27th
Of October 1852 he was publicly burned

true principles Of the reformation and
