PATRICK HENRY'S BONES.

Tho remains Of Patrick Henry are to
be brought to Virginia and buried in
Richmond. We believe this bespeaks his
wishes, were he alive to express them.
There are few men with souls so dead
as not to prefer to sleep the sleep that
knows no awakening In the bosom of
their native State. Virginlans, too. will
cherish the thought that he is buried In
the State, which he must have loved as
hi, own.
If Patrick Henry were alive he would
probably say ms Bishop Witness said
when asked just before he died where
he wished to be buried. II do not wish
to be buried" he replied, with that dc.
lightful humor for which he was pro-
verbal. In point Of fact, however, Pat
rick Henry's bones have always rested
in Virginia soil. 1t would be very TT,
however, to remove them to Richmond
and let them rest forever under old st,
Johns Church. In which historic build

What Congress Ia Doing and Discusses

Editor of The Progressive Farmer

the Panama Situation.
EDITOR Of The Progressive Farmer
In all political and diplomatic cir
cles here the Panama situation is
the ~an-absorbing topic of discussion.
The new republic was born SO quick
" and the attitude of the Admins
tration announced so promptly that
public men have hardly had time to
catch their breath before being call
ed upon to express their opinion on
the affair. Declaring that che is
bound not merely by treaty obliga-
tions but by the interests of civiliza-
ton to see that the peaceful traffic
of the world across the Isthmus of
Panama shall no longer be disturbed
by a constant succession of unnec-
essary and wasteful civil wars" Pres
ident Roosevelt has issued a COM
munication to our representatives in
Panama and Columbia in which he
says that the United States has en-
tered into relations with the defacto
government on the Isthmus.
THE PANAMA SITUATION.
More ships are on their way to
Colon and Panama, and our govern
ment has informed Colombia that she
will not be allowed to land troops at
either of these ports. Mr. Philippe
Bunau-Varilla has been appointed
"envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary to the government Of
the United States with full powers
to conduct political and financial ne
gotiations." The new envoy has been
received and dined by Secretary Hay
and talks of negotiating a treaty
direct with the United States. He
began his career by what is regarded
here as a "breach of diplomatic pro-
priety," in writing an open letter to
Senator Morgan asking this cham
pion of the Nicaraguan route to re-
nounce his opposition to Panama.
He explains that he wrote the letter
as a private citizen, and before he
presented his credentials, but as he
begins his communication by declar-
ing hat he is the minister plenipo-
tertiary of the new republic, his ex-
cuse is not very sound. However, in
the whirl of political interests revol-
wing around the Panama affair, a
breach of diplomatic etiquette is a
mere detail. Most of the Republican
Senators support the Administration
and Senator Hanna emphatically de-
clared that the President had done
only what was our manifest duty
The Democratic Senators, with the
caution which characterizes thei1
new leader, have decided to wait fol-
further information before making
a party issue out of the situation

uUd OI uAC &SCORNA
PIatt Amendment this small republic
was placed in a unique position in
regard to this country, with which it
had come into close political and
economic relation. The treaty injured
no American interests, and opened up
to us a large and constantly increas-
ing market, right at u door. 1t
was an opportunity which we could
not afford to neglect, and we should
not force Cuba to seek connections
with foreign countries which would
be disadvantageous to US. In the
granting of coaIing stations and in
other matters, this island republic, to
which we had given freedom, and
which we started on a national ca
reer, had performed faithfully all its
obligations to this country, and we
we're morally bound to do likewise.
| The treaty would serve as a guaran-
tee of god faith of our nation toward
her young sister republic. He ended
his plea for the treaty by saying.
"a failure to enact such legislation
would come p~eriously near a repudi-
alton of the pledged faith of the ma
ton" Although there are o a host
of rumors that the opposition to the
treaty will succeed in defeating it, it
is evident to a non-partisan observer
that the reciprocity will be granted
to Cuba either at the extra session or
during the first part of the regular
session.
MORGAN OFF THE CANAL COMMITTEE,
The Republicans of the State have
decided to remove Senator Morgan
| from the Craftsmanship of the Com
mittee of the Interoceanic Canals,
and the Senate Committee of Com
mittees has been instructed to chose
his Republican successor. It. is nc
doubt owing to his determined hos
tility to the Panama route that the
venerable Senator from Alabama is
to be removed. Senator Hanna, who
is the strongest advocate-of the Pan
anna route, and the third member OF
the committee, will probably be made
chairman. Senator Morgan will be
J offered the Craftsmanship of the Com
mittee on Public Health and Quar-
a%ntine, a position formerly held by
Senator Vest, of Missouri. Through
the courtesy of the majority, the
minority in the Senate has been giver
the Craftsmanship of ten committees
out of the sixty-four. Senator Nor.
gan's removal will reduce this mum
Der to nine.
