WAIT TILL THE MEEK INHERIT
THE EARTH.

[From the Detroit Free Press1
All the critics of the administration
Panama policy have one note which
they strike in unison on their harps,
What would we have done if Great
Britain had recognized the indepen-
dence of the Confederate states in
1892 The answer is simple enough.
We should probably have moved an
army into Canada and taken possession
of the dominion; but this answer really
has as little to do with the case as the
question of the critics.
There is no parallel between Colombia
and the United States or between Pan
anna and the Confederate states. Meth
er is there a parallel between the action
of the Roosevelt administration and the
contemplated action of the British gov
eminent towards the south. The indie
pendence of Panama was not recognized
to cripple another power or to build up
American industries at the expense of a
rival No question of national hates
and jealousies was involved The only
point at issue was whether the United
States should assist in checking the adj
vancement of civilization by permitting
Colombia to crush an instruction that
meant the construction Of an Isthmian
canal.
If the policy of President Roosevelt
really involved the ruthless despoiling
of a friendly nation" as one critic has
said, it would be indefensible, but it in
wolves no spoliation whatever Colon
bia never could and never would con-
struct an interoceanic canal. She had
already granted to a private corpora
ton the most substantial considerations
asked for by the United States, and was
seeking to prevent the transfer of these
rights only in pursuance of policy of
extortion. The canal, when constructed,
will be open to the commerce of Colom-
bia as well as to the commerce of the
rest of the world; and no valid excuse
has yet been offered for the dog-in-the-
manger policy pursued by the Colon
bian government.
The world would soon be in strange
state If civilization had to pause at the
demand of reactionary governments and
peoples. Great Britain would have to re-
tire from Egypt and India. and give A1-
strasa back to the bushmen. France
would have to restore Algiers to the wan
dering tribes that had made it a desert,
and Russia would have to hand over the
khanates to the barbarians. We ourselves
could not do less than to restore the en-
tire domain TO the remnants of the Indian
tribes that were overwhelmed by SUI
perior civilization.

SOUTHERN DISHES.
Reason Why Efforts to Make Them
Popular in New York Have Failed.

At irregular intervals the effort is
made to establish in permanence the
popularity of southern dishes in New
York restaurants, but usually it has not
succeeded. French, Italian, Hungarian,
German, Spanish, Polish and even Rus
sian, Syrian, Greek and Chinese dishes
have, on the other hand, had certain
vogue.
There is a large and constantly in
creasing southern colony in New York.
Yet restaurants making a speciality OF
southern dishes have, in almost every
case been compelled to yield sooner or
later to the demand for cooking of an
other style, despite the Acknowledged
excellence of fried chicken. pone cake,
corn mullins, Smithfleld ham, pan hsh.
waffies and like delicacies.
The explanation of this apparent in
ability of southern dishes to retain a
foothold in New York restaurants IS
simple The south is a region mostly
of small towns and villages. and the
opportunities of cooks in it are limited.
There. is corn in plenty, but very little
-four There are chickens, but little
beef. mutton or veal.
There are ham and bacon and game
sometimes, but the standard articles of
the American bin of fare, beefsteak,
roast beef, lamb and mutton chops are
seldom seen Frying, rather than
broiling, is the rule, and what can't be
fried but must be broiled. stewed or
roasted is not often seen on tables in
the south
Hinder the circumstances, the south
ern cooks have done well. but when
southerners come to New York, with
its greater varieties offered in cooking.
with its larger markets and different
methods they eschew the southern
dishes and take to those which are
more popular here.
Corn cakes as a substitute for bread
are popular in the south, where the
supply of corn is almost unlimited.
but southerners in New York incline
rather to bread than to corn combine
tons, and it is the same with other
dishes.
So long as people of French birth or
French extraction are favorable to
French cooking; so long as Italians
favor Italian; Hungarians Hungarian;
Standards Spanish; Poles Polish; Ger
mans German, and Swedes Swedish
cooking-Hilk soup, blood pudding,
picked herring and caulifiower salad
the popularity of each of these styles
of cooking is likely to continue in New
York restaurants; but where. as in the
case Of southern Dishes people display

dependence of Panama, we say that all
civilization has been fraud. and that hui
man progress should cease until the un-
progressive elements of humanity gra-
ciously permit mankind to advance. No
body's toes must be stepped on. None Of
the laggards must be prodded. The process
sion must wait until the lazy and the
Indifferent and the venaI are willing that

If tupenny South American republic
wishes to block one of the greatest of
modern undertakings, in the benefits of
which all the world may freely share. its
will must be construed as the supreme
law. The thing for US to do is to wait
until the meek inherit the earth, and
then we shall have both moral and a
legal right to proceed with our plans. For
tunately the moral sense of the American
people is not quite so attenuated as this
implies, and that is why the opposition
to the presidents policy fails upon deaf

MILLIONS OF BIBLES.
The Holy Book Has Been PRINTED in
$40 Languages.

To show its appreciation of the part be-
ing taken by Canada in the celebration of
the centenary of the British and Foreign
Bible society. three of it's abIest and most
eloquent supporters are in Canada as spe-
cial delegates They are the venerable
Archdeacon Madden of Liverpool the Rev.
G. H. Bondfeld, the society's representa-
tive in China, and Sir Algernon Coote, pre-
mier baronet of Ireland and one of the So
ciety'S vice presidents.
Sunday evening Archdeacon Madden
spoke in the Church of the Epiphany, say
ing that the Bible society during the hum
dred years of its existence had distrib-
uted throughout the world 1S0. 900. 900 b.
bles, printed in $40 different languages.
Last year it gave out 6.000.000 Bibles and
portions of Bibles. The enormous work Of
this society was apparent when 1t was
known that a century ago only 100000
copies of the book were in existence Now
there are 200. o03. 600 copies of it in the
world.
The Rev. G. H. Bondfield spoke at the
Metropolitan church and at Westminster
Presbyterian church. Among the signifi-
cant facts he presented was that notwith-
standing the $40 languages in which the
Bible is circulated. there are in India 1o2

TRADE WIFE cuRA.

The trade relations between the
United States and Cuba, present and
past. are the subject of a document
just issued by the department of com
merce and labor through its bureau of
statistics. The United States imports
from Cuba have always exceeded in
value the United States exports to
Cuba. This fact has been due, not to
lack Of appreciation of United States
pr ducts and merchandise on the part
of the Cubans. nor yet to lack of
purchasing power on their part, but
rather to the fact that Cuba has hap
pened to be the producer OF two great

Jernegan, the great sea water gold
man, has been discovered in the Philip
pines, where he is teaching school as a
means of livelihood. His story is told
in a Sunday paper. He got away with
a large sum of money, something over
100000 and when he found himself be-
yond the reach of pursuit he sent back
SS5, 900 to be distributed among his vic
Tins He then went to work and threw
the balance away in speculation, being
the victim in one instance of a trick
similar to the one by which he gained
wealth. Driven at last almost to beg
gary, and forced to perform hard man
ual labor, he finally secured the situa-
ton in which he now finds employment
and subsistence.

allies this session in the western con-
gressmen, who are interested in the

for a river and harbor bill this year
than ever before. In order to secure
sufficient support for this omnibus bill,
the work will be laid out on the in

expected to exceed from fifteen to
twenty million dollars.-Omaha Bee.

Some people appear to be born lucky.
There is Mr.. Rockefeller, for instance.
The oil king has been anxious to gain
possession of the Pennsylvania railroad.
He has everything else arranged except
