New Proposition of the CO.

Hope in Ultimate Success
of Negotiations.
Aimed at Canal Company,

anna Members Abandon
All Hope.

1t is believed now the Colombian gov
ernment will not ask the State Depart
ment for an extension of the time limit
for the ratification OF the Hay Herran
canal treaty, which expires at midnight
on Tuesday. Information comes to The
Times from an authoritative source that
the new proposition made by the Co
lombian government, received by Or.
Herran on Thursday and communicated
to Acting Secretary of State Adee. is
of such nature that hope is revived in
the ultimate success of canal negotia-
tions between the two countries.
Advices received today indicate that the
new proposition withdraws none OF the
benefits which Colombia would obtain by
the ratification OF the present treaty, nor
requires any additional payments to be
positively the Colombian government has
sent information to this country of its
recession from the position taken since
rejection of the treaty.
The BogoIs government still asks an
additional bonus from the canal com
pany, and though these demands have
been decreased from S1O.OOO.OOO to lees
than s5.OOO.O goo. the company will depend
absolutely upon the new proposition ad-
vanced by Colombia. and VIII decline tC

The Fourth Amendment.
Do New York Trlbune.

From the New York Tribune.
Whether the basis provided by the
Fourteenth amendment is wise or not
is another question. While its purpose
was to guarantee equal rights. it would
II put i'm operation, bring pressure to
bear on the States to debase their cleo
torate States which, like Massachu-
sets, tried to secure intelligent voting
would be penalized, as would Southern
States which might, without any dis
elimination against the negro, try in
entire good faith to keep government
i'm the hands of industrious and intelli-
gent men. This government was not
founded on universal suffrage. II was
a later development aided by politi-
clans wanting new and ignorant voters
to use. Perhaps il is now so establish
ed that there is nothing to fear from
further pressure 10 make more igno-
rant voters or to prevent reaction in
favor of educational or property quail
hcatiOns. But II there are States
where limited sunrage-limited in good
faith by equal laws without race dis
crlmination--is thought to be i'm the
interests Of civilization and honest
government, a Federal law which offer
ed a premium for the sway of igno-
rance and irresponsiblity would seem
to be OF doubtful wisdom.
