1t ia given out by the State Depart
ment that the friends of the Panama
canal treaty in Colombia have given
up all hope of its ratification. This
brings TO mind the fact that Senator
Harris always contended that, taking
all things into consideration, the
Nicaragua route was the best, and
this simply goes to prove his state
ment. 1t is always wise to be content
with what you can get. The failure
Of the Panama route brings up an
other thought. 1t will be remembered
that when this contest was raging in
congress it was often stated that the
opponents to the canal in congress
were intending to block all canal work
by first working in congress for the
Panama route and then working In
Colombia against acontirmation of the
treaty. The results would seem to in
dictate that there was something in the
story. The American people are get
ting pretty tired of all this. What
they want is a canal and they propose
to have one in some shape before very
long.

Disgracing Our Country.

It is very unpleasant reading for an American who has feeling of love and respect for his country to turn over the files of English papers and note some of the letters printed in re gard to lynching in the United States. For instance, we find in the Chronicle a letter suggesting that there was nothing more disgusting in the Kish- ineff outrage, in fact, not so much as there was in details of the Delaware lynching. This correspondent urged that, if the United States was not able to bring the offenders to justice and secure their proper punishment, at least a protest should be made by civi- lized European nations against the existence of such conditions. Another correspondent. writing on the same subject, says that the United States has thus furnished an example of how the savagery of 300 years ago can be thrust into the civilization of the pres ent age. Unfortunately, there IS no opportunity to deny the truth of these charges. and, while we protest against outrages in other countries, we have within our own borders crimes per petrated by lawless mobs, that, hap pening in Turkey or in China, would call for a rebuke from the civilized world, and possibly threats of armed intervention by other natiens.-BC5ton Herald.

About 10000 soldiers in all went to Cuba, and a few went to Porto Rico for d very brief time. Disease played havoc in a good many camps, but only a few hundred were killed in Cuba. in cluding those who died from wounds.
 Yet 12,000 claims for pensions have all ready been allowed; and, although more than 1S,O00 have been rejected, many of the remainder will have to be put on the list.

Leo XIII's Physicians.

It was practically certain. if the pope's illness continued long enough without definite results one way or the other, that the change-of-doctor view would be heard from.
 The notion is very common, if not universal, that to increase the medical skill already engaged in your service is a very good thing to do. This in crease is very nearly always quantita- tive, and not qualitative. Those who are financially able to call in new phy- sicians generally have at the outset the best ones to be had. As the rule, it practically amounts to so much more of the same kind of medical insight and of medical Judgment as that al ready at work in your service: what has been done is approved. if the old and the new physicians are about equally competent; and there you are. substantially and often exactly, where you were. This very nearly invariable result. however. has no effect upon the notion. The idea is almost fixed that there is increased safety in Q multitude of physicians; and the physician who has the case in charge. however able he may be, has to submit to this rule-as in fact he usually does with entire readiness.
 It is safe to say that if Leo XII were younger man. and had an ill., ness showing precisely the same symp- toms as those of his present illness. he would still trust himself exclusively to the care of Dr. Lapponi and Dr. Mag zoni. Both of these eminent men, the first on the side of medical knowledge and the other on the side of surgical knowledge. possess the invaluable ad- vantage of knowing their patient. They have learned. by previous treatment of him, how to treat him now This is at least half the medical battle in the case of an aged, attentive and clear-head- cd patient. Leo XIII knows by experi- ence that it is safe for him to trust himself to their joint skill, and they know, by the same experience the pre- else personal and bodily equations in
 
 remedies or alleviations. He may die, to be sure: but all mcn must die sooner or later, including the Roman popes and when the date of death arrives no physician can do more than to make the dying man as comfortable as may be. The death of Leo XIII at this time will carry no reproach whatever to Dr. Lapponi and pr. Mazzoni. They are competent, and both of them have been diligent and devoted in the highest de- gree.
 It is not necessary to impute bad faith to the suggestion of a consulta- ton. Ordinary human anxiety accounts fully enough for the suggestion. But it is fussy and wholly inconsiderate piece of human anxiety, just ths-s same. pr. Lapponi in particular deserved diff ferent treatment; but he has the satis- faction of knowing that this treatment did not come from Leo XIII.

To Redeem Missouri.

Congressman Bartholdt, one of the most influential republicans of Mis- souri, in an interview at Washington the other day expressed himself in favor of Joseph w. Folk as the candi- date of the Missouri republicans for governor next year. It is true, as MT. Bartholdt says, that Mir. Folk is a dem Ocrat, and with the possible exception of President Roosevelt is the most popular man with the Missouri people, and were the democrats to nominate him 1t would be wise for the republi- cans to make him their candidate also. But, as Mir. Bartholdt explains, there is little probability that the courage ous prosecuting attorney of St. Louis will be nominated by the democrats for governor of the state. The democratic bosses would not permit 1t. Ed. Butler and the other bosses picked up" MT. Folk and nominated him for district attorney. but that was before they knew the stuff of which he Is made
 They had no idea that among his first acts would be the prosecution of demo- cratic leaders for corruption and the sending of Butler himself to the peni- tcntiary. The long reign of democracy in Missouri has put the state at the mercy of band of thieves, and state and municipalities have been robbed with such brazen effrontery that bri- bery and the footing of the public have
