struction Debts.
 Washington. Feb. 1.-The case oF tb. State of South Dakota vs. the State nt North Carolina to-day was decided bl, ,h, United States Supreme Court favorahI, to South Dakota. The case involved tLI validity of a mortgage on stock of tbf North Carolina Railroad Company giver by the State of North Carolina to secure the payment of state bonds given in aid of the road in 1867. The State Of sout Dakota holds ten bonds of $1.0O0 each II, der q gift from Simon SchGefer and Sar uel NJ. Schaefer of New York city, u amount due on the bonds and coupor attached being $27,O00 The opinion W. rendered by Justice Brewer and the d. cree of the court was embodied in the fo lowing order
 A decree will therefore be entered whic after finding the amount due on the bond and coupons in suit to be $27, 400, nC interest being recoverable. and that tn, same are secured by one hundred shares of the stock of the North Carolina Rail road Company belonging to the State of North Carolina and directs that the said State of North Carolina pay said amount to the State of South Dakota, and in de fault of such payment an order of sale bo issued to the marshal of this court. direct ing him to sell at public auction all th interest of the State of North Carolir Tn and to one hundred shares of the car ltal stock of the North Carolina Railroa company such sale to be made at tn east front door of the Capitol building thls city, public notice to be given of sue sale by advertisement in some daily pape published in the city of Raleigh N.

go had at that moment about 300 men, yet they talked of thousands and of marching across forty-seven miles of mt asmatic swamp and through forty-seyen
 miles of jungle to fight It was a bluff; and so is the war talk one hears these days, The facts of the matter are that Colombia, driven to desperation by the revolution on the Isthmus, is playing a strong hand at home. She is making a show of arms at re-establishing her SOW ereignty over the Isthmus not with any idea of actually attempting such a feat. but with the sole purpose of satisfying home sentiment and of preventing rey- olution there which would sweep from l power the present weak, inefficient and corrupt government. With the independence of Panama tn be. l justified upon humanitarian and commer- clal grounds; with the United States given
 canal rights of the most liberal character. l and with no danger of a clash with Co., lombia impending, the isthmian situation is as simple as is the alphabet. Panama
 will take care of herself under the pros lection we are bound to furnish her. de- veloping in time a patriotism now un- known and leading to stability of gov- ernment As for ourselves. we have only to ratify the canal treaty in order to obs tain full license to come here in force, 
 and dig the ditch upon which the French squandered hundreds of millions of d9l- lars.
 End Justifies the Means.
 The thing we have been aiming at lies before hs, in easy reach. One-fifth of the necessary work to construct 8 canal has been done; the power to do the other four-tifths waits only upon the ratitica- tiOn of the treaty, and in the doing of that four-hfths we shall not, as I have explained, encounter any problems that need dismaY or darnt us in the slightest. If the demand of the commercial world for this interoceanic canal is genuine, and of that there is no doubt: if military cOn- alterations mako 1t desirable for us to control that canal, and upon that there Is only one opinion; if Colombia. by stn- ister intent, did delay the construction of the canal, and rejection of the Hay-Her- ran treaty proves that she did; if we have any desire to elevate mankind and
 make, svamps and wilderness subject to civilization's uses, and our policy in that respect is too well known to be disputed there is nothing in what has been done here upon the Isthmus-by Panamaians or by the United States-that is subject to censure. for all that has been done tends directly toward the right. The end Jus- tifles the means, and for us only one thing
 remains, and that is-dig!

 MEANS EMPLOYED
Panama Deserving of Independence and the World Wants a Canal
 Across the ISthmuS.

(Staff Correspondent of The Advertiser.)
 Colon. R. F., Dec. 9o.--(Delayed in transmission). this correspondence have endeavored faithfully to present the several phases of the isthmian and canal situations as they have revealed them selves to me. In what I have written there has been much that was not en- tirely creditable to those responsible for the existence of this new republic; much that wins for them admiration. and not a little that touches deeply the morality and integrity of our own government Regard for the truth compelled this seem fngIy contradictory survey of the situa- tion, and the story. now told in full, leads one inevitably back to the starting place-the interoceanic canal.
 What has heretofore been said of the sordid nature of these inspirations that

She had ample in centive, but lacked the means and ade- quate direction. The act of November 8 had the effect, therefore, of freeing from very odious tyranny a people who had little" or nothing in common with those who had for so long held the reins of government. There is nothing in geo. graphical location, commercial interests, national temperament or disposition that can possibly be construed as forming a bond of unity to join Colombia and Pan- anna, and Colombia's dominion has en- dured for many years solely because of the power of the mighty over the weak.
 Now that she is free. Panama has an opportunity long withheld from her. In

 Colombia's Viciousness.
 Colombia. by her vicious system of con- sessions, prevented the PanamIans from doing any of these things. With a land which rivals that of Cuba in richness and productivity. Panama has been compelled to give it over to the wilderness, swamp and jungle; all because Colombia has re- fused to permit the building of roads, to give the people chance to occupy the tand and turn it to account. or to enable them to freely and profitably avail them selves of their opportunities. Champion ship of Colombias cause means, there fore, championship of a system of gov prnment which has cursed the isthmlan strip for three-quarters of century; which makes 1t to-day an undeVeioped, worthless wilderness, peopled by as be- nighted and unprOgressiVe a race as any that claims adherence to civilization.
 A quarter of a century under the new republican rule. with the United States standing by to give assistance, advice and encouragement. will change all of this and change it for the better. In that time there viii be bred here new spir- it; with the natural influx of Americans that will follow the canal work this coun' try will be subjugated and turned to com mercial account. The people may be lift ed from q state closely approXimatinl savagery, and through education and tho training of their talents made fit to oc cupy decent and dignified position among civilized peoples This will be possible because the faults of this people. aside from their inherent laziness. are largely acquired.

 Just as long as this republic stands, the determination to have a shin canal built here rather than any ennobiing spectacle Of glowing and irresistible patriotism
 Those who seek practical results may, however, be very content to overlook these latter.

Colombia Her Own ExecutiOner.

Panama knows, as does the world at large, just what motives influenced Co., lOmbia to reject the Hay-Herran treaty. Panama has had more experience than has all the rest of the world with. Co., lombian greed and unscrupulousness. This little republic while State in the Colorn- bian Federation was systematically mulct- ed; its citizens were politely pilfered of their substance and for many long years the whole State paid tribute to that ra- pacity which affIicts the Government at Bogota. With this experience Panama knows that when Colombia rejected the treaty. upon which every hope of the isth- milan prosperity was pinned, she did so in the belief that she could drive a bet ter bargain for herself. No thought of Panama's interests entered into the con-

assistance was rendered her without its sincerity, being tainted by collusion-we have helped a people deserving of assist ance. Upon humanitarian grounds alone, if for no other reason, we should have in- terfered when Panama decided to throw off Colombia's yoke, for it is to be re- membered that in Cuha's case we estab- lished the principle of the right of in- reference upon humanitarian grounds
 Conditions here were even worse prior to November 3 than they were in Cuba; the only difference was that the isthmian sit- uation had not commanded the worlds attention as had the other one. I say the condition, here was worse because, no matter what else Spain did in her op- pression of Cuba. she gave the Cubans a chance to cultivate their soil, to raise

 New York. Feb 1.-The speculation in the cotton market carried May and July cotton options above 17c a pound on the local market today for the first time in twenty-nine years.
 Cotton has not passed 17c a pound in New York since 1875, when 1t went to l7 l-Sc. It touched IS 7-S in 1874; A 3-1s in 1873 and 2 3-S in the year of wild specu- iatlon in 1872 when the crop. as against 4'391OOO bales in the previous season, turned out only 2974,O0O. The high price or war times, when the South was block aded' was N.9O per pound in 1884. The rise on today's market was scored in spite or heavier receipts and the failure Of southern spot markets (save New Or leans) to advance.
 There was the same wild and overbur- dened market here as on Saturday. Brokers despaired of executing their orders according to book. There was in tense confusion and an enormous voI,,r,a of trading.

 Conditions in Maryland indicate that Senator German is out of the running for the Democratic nomination for President. The Baltimore Sun, speaking for the Rayner faction, editorially serves notice on the Senator that unless he surrenders and helps elect Rayner to the United States Senate he may expect to be fought in his own State for nomination and for election, if nominated.
