ANGLES LETTER,
The President and Panama.

All events which result in interna

ing opinions from many intellectual
men equally capable of judging. Such
of us little people who seek information
from all this instructive matter with a
view to the edifcation of few having
even less knowledge, will do we'll to be
guided in forming judgment by those
who have only the common interest at
stake.
AS a consequence of the revolt in Pan
anna an influential New York journal
denounced in characteristic terms the
action of the administration in recog-
nising the newly established republic
Atthat stage in the proceedings criticism
and judgment was premature, to say the
least, since it had not as yet transpired
that this country had gained any advan-
tage in the action of the executive be-
You'd the protection to commercial inter-
ests, which this country is bound by a
legally adaptable treaty to afford. Had
the administration taken an opposite
course it would have been blamed for
inadequacy by those who condemn, on
principle, every action of the President
in his official duties; from motives not
to be misunderstood. Such papers as
the Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.) the Boston
Herald Ond.) and others too numerous
to here enumerate have taken a totally
opposite view Of the Presidents action.

And now, friends CO of the admins
tration at home and abroad charge it
with the revolution in Panama, with the
Interior object of the desired canal rights.
Well, if the president and secretary Hay
have got their fingers in it with good eff
fects, thanks be to them even. But we
think otherwise. They are diplomats,
and such men get ready for all possible
contingencies, then keep their eyes and
ears open, so when the automobile of
progress dashes by them they leap on
board and at once proceed to make them
selves perfectly at home. But the credit
for the revolution goes elsewhere. The
spirit of progress in the world, extern
sively manifest in the worlds CONNER
cial relations has long demanded the ca
nal between the oceans, and it could
wait no longer. The Colombians were
too slow; like Spain they were laggards
in the race and could not keep up. In
these days the flags of the enemy are
captured by the FROM rankers. The fin
ger OF progress is pointed straight ahead
The United States is in the front ranks
and will capture many trophy of vic
tory. Hail, The new republic of Panama.

 which was simplified by the school tax law passed by the legislature, com

 It is also made misdemeanor for any person or company having men employed to refuse to give the tax collector complete list of such men and if the employer pays the tax for the men, the receipts are made legal tender for the amount of S2.50, in payment for services of the employe. or whom the tax was paid.-Tomb- stone Prospector.

 To the Editor of The Citizen:
 have observed in the columns of Che Citizen certain items likely to mislead your readers regarding the negotiations in progress between the Mexican Pacific railway and the English debentrre company, myself aud associate, acting as the brokers ln the transaction It is scarcely fair to persons who are work ing faithfully aud honestly in the in- terest of obtaining the needed capital to start this railwly that they or their operations should have any compari- sons made with the narrow gua.e bond deal and It's unhappy sequel. My transactions with thls railway board and the people of Tucson have been strictly honorable and transparent and all insinuatIons and careless filings are not only uncaIled for but decidedly disrespectfuI. Myself and associate of Boston are not miGdlemen making money out of Tucson, but industrious and effective brokers, dOng our wo k skIllfully and we will bring larger net results to the railway ill our financing of these bonds than can be duplicated anywhere else.
 No money was ever raised for more legitimate purpose than this con tingent expense fund of S20,00O to be expended directly by the committee of the subscribers. The negotiations now in ogress are, we believe likely to effect the placing of the bonds in the English market, and every citizen of Tucson should In such case never cease at so great and permanent ben- eft at comparatively trivial promot : ing expense.
 l personally thank you for kindly . and fair editorial and news mention . during my work ill your city, and ia cerely hope that our plans will be eff fective to finance the Americ ln- Mex ican Pacific railway. l see that knockers are in your midst, and vulturcS wheel over the carcass of our creation. Such is history. They should !o sclrod away. Respectfully ! yours. HOW ARD l. COOKE. ;
