1t is true that Senator Morgan does

No POOLING With the Tariff.

The unsettled conditions from which
the country has just commenced to
recover do not admit of introducing
any new uncertainties until the sky
has materially cleared. Had the boom
continued there might have been
some grounds for the opponents of
the tariff to argue that it was bringing
too much prosperity, but now that the
boom has had a check the danger that
would follow the introduction of a
further disarrangement of trade con-
ditions could invite nothing but disas-
ter.
The Republicans have always stood
for tariff that would enable Ameri-
can industry to thrive. There is no

Panama route with all its risks to no
canal at all.
The Democratic senators honestly
in favor of an isthmian canal accept
ed this view of the situation when
they voted for the SpOoner bill. They
have not changed their views and are
now objecting, not to a canal on
particular route, but to the means
used to secure control of the route
This objection is personal or political
issue when the question is a canal on
the Panama route or no canal at all.
On this question no one doubts
how the American people would vote.
East and West, North and South,
Democrats and Populists, as well as
Republicans. they are in favor of an
isthmian canal. Mr.. Germans schem-
ing to defeat the ratification of the
canal treaty has developed the
strength of the canal sentiment in
the Democratic party. There is no
opposition to the ratification in the
Republican party.
Why, then, treat the question as a
party issue? Why not act upon it in
its real character, as an American
question, and put aside Mr. Germans
theory that any question. no matter
how vital to American progress, may
be used as a football in the game of
politics.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

NEED OF THE CANAL.
ENTIRE COUNTRY RECOGNIZES
ITS NECESSITY.
Obstructionists in the Senate Are in
Opposition to Their Party Followers
in Schcming to Delay the Construc-
ton of the Panama Waterway.

Senator Germans tactical maneu-
vers on the isthmian canal question
have been successful only in uncover
ing the weak points in the Democratic
line.
Democratic Senators who originally
favored the Panama route and who
voted for the Spooner bill and to rat
lily the Hay-Herran canal treaty have
no reason for opposing the present ca
nal treaty.
Democrats who held that the treaty
with Colombia made too many con-
cesslons cannot logically oppose the
present treaty, which makes no con-
cessions inimical to the interests of
the United States
Senators who formerly favored the
Nicaragua route are right in the alb
stract. The Inter Ocean believed
years ago and believes now that the
Nicaragua route is preferable to the
Panama route. The contention that
there is greater risk and greater DOS
sibility of scandal in constructing a
canal on the Panama route than on
the Nicaragua still stands.
AS a canal on the Nicaragua route
is impossible and as a canal on the
Panama route can be constructed I'M
der more favorable circumstances
than ever before, the real friends of
an isthmian canal have accepted the
situation, preferring a canal on the

argument that a tariff is not needed

Italian InasuIter Locked Up by Dixwell

f Italian Insulter Locked Up by Dixwell Avenue Police.
 For number of days past women living in the vicinity of the Dixwell avenue police station have been mak- ing complaints that an Italian has been holding them up, following them, and insulting them. Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Bowers and Policeman Keen an were out in citizen clothes and while standing at the corner of Ashmun and Munson streets they saw a man follow ing woman and trying to talk to her. The officers started towards the man, and it is alleged that he said, I'm the one you want; I'm the one you want. :" He then started away, but was caught before he had gone very far.
 At the police station he said that his name was Joseph Appodiamonte; that he had only been in this city two weeks; that he was mason employed on the new buildings that are being at the Winchester shops. and that he was boarding on Henry street. The accused is charged with two counts of breach of the peace and one count of indecent exposure. He will appear be- fore the city court this morning.
