HOPE EoR TIE CANAL.

There is yet hope for the Panama
canal. Colombia hastens to assure
this country that she has not rejected
the treaty altogether. but proposes to
offer certain slight amendments. The
speakers OF her respective Houses Of
Congress are in favor OF the canal
concession: indeed there il evidence
that the feeling favoring the treaty
is so strong that its rejection might
result in a revolution. Colombia finds
her position rather delicate. The
United states has authorized tho Pres
ident in this emergency to open me-
gotiations with Nicaragua. and should
Mr.. Roosevelt choose TO regard the
action OF the Colombian Congress as
final the great enterprise would be
lost to her forever With the pros
pect OF canal at any other point on
the Isthmus. colombia's concession
would not be worthy OF a place on the
bargain counter,
Her haste in opening communication
with Washington shows that she is
aware Of this She claims that her
objection was based on our absolute
Jurisdiction over the strip Of territory
bordering the canal She demands
mixed tribunals composed of an equal
number Of representatives from the
United states and Colombia. This will
be the chief amendment, and reports
indicate that the revision viii be drawn
with great care in order to prevent
it's rejection by our Senate. Whatever
it's nature. it would not have 10 be
returned to Colombia for her accept
ance. since the instrument together
with any amendments, having been
adopted by the Colombian Congress,
binds that body, and is final as far as
that country is concerned, Meanwhile
the United states is in a waiting atti-
tude. We may accept cplombias
terms. or we may reject them, and
still dig our Isthmian canal.

fellows and quail before the possibility
of having the word "scab" hurled after
them, with the result that they quit
their employment possibly never to be
re-instated.
For the average working man TO go
on strike requires high order Of
courage or degree Of fool-hardiness.
II ne has no family ties 1t is not so Sc
rious, but with a number OF hungry
mouths for which he must provide food,
it is a serious thing. We have read Of
cases where the wives OF the men have
been the first to demand strike, and
the last to advise return TO work, and
this has been regarded as an example
for applause
On the other hand, we have heard
the story OF one woman who, when her
husband came home from the mill an
nouncing that he had gone on strike,
said that he was on strike most Of
the time. and that she was going on a
strike to keep him company sym
pathetic strike" as It were. so she re-
fused to cook his meals or to perform
any OF the household duties for a few
days. when her husband declared his
strike of.
The point is that while a mans du-
ties may be conflicting. his paramount
duty is to his family. II is for him to
make his labor count but any man with
a spark OF manliness in his nature will
work for a pittance, and at any kind
OF labor. rather than see them suffer.
and the working man, whether he be-
long to a union or not, must make this
his chief concern. The Philadelphia
papers tell us OF a sad tale Of a woman
whose husband was on a strike Her
children were starving and there was
no prospect OF better conditions. So
she gathered them into her room and
turned on the gas. Two Of them died
and the mother and the other two were
saved Now she will have to face a
murder charge. Who Is to blame? The
law viii say that woman is the guilty
person. Others viii declare that the
fault lies with the man who left his
employment and thus cut off the means
OF providing for his family. Then there
are those who win attribute the whole
guilt to the employer who would not
make the concessions demanded Who

rhE PRosPERous MEsr.

Only . decade ago the farmers OF the
great West depended upon Eastern
capital to keep them going. Money
was at a premium, paying ten per cent,
interest in certain States, and in others
40 high as twelve. Millions OF dollars
went from the East in return for Kan
sas mortgages, and there came a time
when many such Investments slumped
dreadfully. because Kansas farming
did not pay,
But mighty change has taken place
1t began right after the election OF
Mckinley. Whether that event had
anything to do with it we do not pre-
tend to say, but certainly Western
prosperity has been coincident with
Republican administrations. A vast
percentage Of these mortgages have
been paid of, and the premium on
money is no greater than il is in Dela-
ware.
II is reported that ex-senator Carter
the other day while visiting the Presi-
dent declared that the West wanted no
financial legislation. that she was con-
tent and was lending her money %
Eastern banks, II the West doesn't
want any change in our financial sys=
tenn It is pretty good sign Of pros
perity. When crops failed and prices
were low, out Of the West came the
green-back craze, It was laid away
among the ptheF discarded isms, hu
wildcat currency was revived under tbs
guiss Of free-silveF coinage, That, too
has been discarded, and the West il
satisfied. Wall street may have iti
nurries, but Kansas, Nebraska, Mime
sofa and other great Western States
with prosperity knocking at their doors
for once in their history ask the gov
ernment to stand pat on her fnancia

the record dropped peg by peg until
Goidsmith'S Maid made it in ia, and
then II was thought that the limit had

gan to measure the quarter seconds
and TO regard anything above that as
beyond the realm of modern speed
records. Rarus reduced it by clipping
on three quarters of a second, and
was followed by Maud S. who reduced

gone on until yesterday Lou Dillon

2K seconds off Of the fastest previous

For several years there has been a
feeling that some day there would be

done. Whether it is possible under
modern methods of breeding to hold
20 that gait is question, but in all
such things we have way of going
forward. but certainly this is almost
the limit for there must be limit in
such matters. We have reached it in
the speed Of our railway trains in our

reached It on the track. 1t may be
possible that a second or two may yet
be clipped or. but it is safe to say
that substantially the limit for trotting
