anama which caused a great deal of ex- citement and comment. % A soldier, while on duty guarding the lconvicts in the chain gang, was an- noyed by woman, who persisted in asking him questions. He lifted his rife and shot her dead.
 | It happened on busy street and the l bullet passed through another woman i in the line of fire and broke the leg of a third. The second woman also died, | and the leg of the third had to be am- putated. ~ .E-s. .tSs But this is not the remarkable part of the story. What aroused comment was the fact that the soldier was actually brought to justice, and condemned to | thirty days Imprisonment in the com- mon jail. | According to Columbia law, there Is no capital punishment, though men are often shot by court-martial. The max inium legal punishment is ten years im- prisonment, even if man kills half 8 l township.
 | ''It is Isthmian experience" said an American who lived many years in Pan- anna, 'that the only individuals who ever get the maximum punishment for i murder are foreigners. I remember one | case where a Jamaican murdered wo- man and received full sentence under the law. During my long residence there I never knew a native of the coun- | try to receive it.
 | "On the other hand, I know many cases where the Colombian authorities have sent Americans, Englishmen and other foreigners to jail for several years for petty frauds, and other cases where ] foreigners have been imprisoned for months without any charge-let alone any evidence-being brought against them. The jails are so filthy and un- sanitary that imprisonment for any length of time usually means death" | The anamanos, like the Columbians, are brave people; but, somehow, most of the fighting on the Isthmus in the past seems to have been done by for eigners. During the last campaign mos | of the revolutionists and good many of the government troops were British subjects-Jamaican negroes.
 Many thousands of these men were brought over by the French company to dig the Panama ditch, and on the works coming to a standstill they were thrown out of employment. When the revolution broke out they eagerly em- lloot, for the Jamaican negro dearly loves a fight, or a ''contenshun," as he calls it. Some rose to high rank, even becoming generals and handling Large bodies of men.
 Two other foreigners bore a promi-
 nent part in the fighting and won for
 themselves great regulations among the
 Panamanos. They were General Her. bert o. Jeffries, an American the Sun
 told about recently, and Captain
 Charles E. Hilton, a merchant skipper

THE OLD REGIME AT PANAMA.
Life on the Isthmus Before the Recent
 Revolution. <. i. X.

Revolution. .s .= Panama, the new republic, is remark able for two things-the wide open na- ture of it's towns and the mixed char acter of it's population, which ranges though all shades of color from paiiid white to jet black. s. Panama and Colon are the most cos- mopoiitan cities under the sun, and also the most lawless. Negroes, mulattoes, Indians, Chinese, Syrians and every race of Europeans and Americans meet there and blend into all kinds of cross es and half breeds. Panama's China town is considerably larger than New York's.
 'Talk about wide open towns!" said a man who knows the isthmus well. There were never towns wider open than Colon and Panama, especially dur ing the canal boom and the early days of the revolution. ......
 Men gambled in the public streets. Tables used to be brought out of the gambling halls on hot nights and placed on the piazzas fronting the chief thor Dughfares. @@et~.
 "You would see men gambling there by the light of a dim hurricane lamp, with piles of gold and notes before them and ragged little Indian boys looking on in open-mouthed wonder.
 "Then, suddenly, some loser would jump up with an oath, knock over the lamp, and begin shooting right and left. The table would upset, and while the Indian boys scrambled for the scat tered gold, those of us who valued our skins would dive for cover" }
 Under the old dispensation the soldier was abcolute king on the isthmus in time of war, and even in time of peace he could do pretty much as he pleased. Some years ago an incident occurred in

DUTY on Coal.

The coal duty is the very oldest OF
the protective measures on the stat
ute books Of this country. The orlgi.
nal tariff act of 1889 imposed duty
upon coal Of every kind and quality,
and there has never been a time until
now when bltuminous coal entered the
country free of duty. The need for
protection in the East and Middle
West has long gone by, SO there was
not coal operator in any Of the sec
lions now suffering from the coal
shortage who interposed the slightest
objection to the repeal Of duty which
was meaningless to him. The tariff
did protect an industry in the state
of Washington Its removal is a
heavy blow to this state, and the worst

His Trial Sermon.

A certain bishop was in the habit
of testing the ability and competency
of the candidates who came before
him by making them preach a trial
sermon. He had for this purpose a
pulpit in the palace. On one Of these
occasions there appeared before him
a gentleman Of short stature and of a
somewhat nervous temperament.
well, Mr.. -, should like to
hear you preach" said the bishop.
The probationer manifested some
nervousness and diffidence, and plead.
ed that he was not prepared with any
special subject.
"oh,". reiplned the bishop, you
can give a short address on some.
thing. Take Zaccheus for your sub.
ject."

pit and began:

GERMANY LEADS OFF
PREPARING TO RESIST AMERl-
CAN TRADE DISCRIMINATION.
When the United States Shall Have
Granted Special Trade Privileges
to Competing Nations Germany
viii be Ready to Enforce Measures
of Retaliation.

Direct and unmistakable confirma-
ton of the prediction Of trouble with
European countries as the outcome of
the consummation of the proposed
preferential trade arrangement be-
tween the United States and Cuba is
at hand in the shape of a Berlin
eablegram to the New York Herald
dated March IA, 1908. The danger,
indeed, the certainty of arousing
jealousy, resentment and retaliatory
action as consequence Of entering
upon the policy of reciprocity in COM
petitive products has been pointed
out, by Andrew Carnegie in his terse
statement that for every friend made
by such a policy we shall make sew
eral enemies. The American Econo-
mist has persistently urged a SINH
lar view as to the disadvantages Of
such reciprocity wholly outside of the
question Of its sacrifice of the princi-
pie Of fair and equal protection to
American labor and industry. This
paper has expressly indicated Ger
many as one of the countries certain
to take umbrage at the monopoliza-
ton alike of the Cuban market for
American products and Of the Ameri-
can market for Cuban sugar. 1t Is
well known that among high officials
committed to the Cuban treaty this
aspect Of the case has been regarded
with some misgivings, but that 1t had
been decided to jam the treaty
through and let ultimate develop
ments take care of themselves. How
well founded these apprehenslons
have been may be discovered from
the Berlin cablegram.
Berlin, March II, 1903.-Germany,
as soon as the reciprocity treaty be-
tween Cuba and the United States is
ratified, will ask both the Cuban and
United States governments for iden-
tical privileges. 1t is perceived that
German traders will be placed at a
disadvantage and the specialists in the
foreign Office who manage Germany's
cases in the negotiations for
new commercial treaties, have
talked over the Cuban treaty with
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1903-04-23

already the state department has
been advised by our foreign represen-
tatives Of the displeasure with which
the reciprocity program as laid out up
to date has been received in European
cabinets. Would 1t not be well for the
Senators to ask for information and
call for correspondence along this
line? 1t would seem that the Senate
ought to be in possession of such vital
information before taking final action
on any reciprocity treaty whatever

First Fruits.

The alleged course of the beet
sugar manufacturers makes the con-
test straight issue between the con-
solidated sugar trust on the one hand
and the cane sugar producers of the
South and the sugar beet producers
Of the North on the other hand. 1t
May be quite as we'll that it should
come in that way. What the deal
means is, as we showed recently, q
straight reduction to begin with Of
so cents a ton on sugar beets. This
reduction the sugar makers are pro-
posing in all the states in their con-
tracts for next year. 1t is the first
fruits of fake reciprocity. AS in all
similar cases the farmer is the vic
tim. His is the one interest which
does not maintain a lobby at Wash
ington. His is the one interest which
politicians extol and glorify when
running for office, and which they
sacrifice without mercy or delay when
elected. The question is now square
ly up to the President and Senate.
VIII they or will they not repudiate
and violate the pledges of the Repub-
lican party to the American farmer?
If they do, the American farmer is a
fool If he ever trusts them again. But
the Senators from the sugar produc-
ing states will be expected to stand
together and insist that this Cuban
conspiracy shall not succeed.-San
Francisco Chronicle.
