sArIsrYING CnLnMnIA.


A rich country and a full treasury
make it easy for Congress to chase
the frown from Colombia's face. While
there has been no definite and author
itative statement that Colombia Is to
receive a cash compensation for the
loss of Panama and the rental of the
canal it seems that negotiations are in
progress for a settlement of that sort.
The sum that Colombia is to receive is
| said to be 100000.
But If the United States are not re-
sponsible for the Panama revolution
why does Congress propose to pay Co
lombia that sum? 1t seems that after
all the concessions for the canal are
going to cost us more than $10,OOO,OOO,
the amount named in the Hay-Herran
treaty. IF we had consented to in
crease that sum to 5,O0O,O 900 it is prob
able we should have had no difficulty
in getting from Colombia all we want
ed in the way of concessions on the
isthmus, but when an increase in the
amount was suggested the administra-
ton declared that not a cent more
would be paid.
Now it seems we are going to pay for
these concessions ST., 900, 0000-$10,0 00,-
900 to the Republic of Panama and ST.
100000 to Colombia 1t is to be pre-
sumed that the $7OO00OO is paid to Co
lombia provided she agrees not to UNI
dertake to recover possession of Pan
anna.
Probably it would be cheaper to pay
Colombia that amount than have war
on the isthmus. If there should be such
a war we would have to take a hand
in it, and perhaps the cost to us would
be more than the amount we are pro-
posing to pay Colombia.
1t begins to look as if we should have
to spend a great deal more money than
we expected to before We get the canal
property and concessions. If anybody
had suggested a few weeks ago that
we would have to pay S7,000,0o0 to Co
lombia we would have laughed at the
suggestion. About $4,000 was paid to
the Colombian soldiers to get off the
lSthhuuSi liiOuSh VIC hou hOtiiAAi5 " w
with that transaction, but we are go
ing to pay Colombia $7,0O0,000 to keep
her soldiers off the isthmus. Doubt
less claims of many sorts will be
trumped up for the purpose of getting
money from the United States. There
is a chance of course that Congress
will object to giving Colombia any
thing. A lively debate is probable
when the matter comes up for con-
sideration. 1t is understood to be
pending in the Committee on Foreign
Relations at present.

A View Yenr RESOLUTION.

When Prof. ]. NJ. Sullivan of STAN
ford University was called on some
time ago for a New Year resolution,
says Sunset, he wrote as follows:
The highest resolution that every
citizen should make is, it seems to me,
to try to become the best and most
useful man he knows how to become;
and, to this end, to cultivate his mind
and to acquire knowledge that he may
act more wisely; to interest himself
in men and affairs of men that he may
become sympathetic and helpful; to
perform the plain and simple duties of
everyday life cheerfully, modestly, pa
tiently, fearlessly; to labor unremit-
tingly for the welfare of family, neigh
bors and society, with due regard for
his own proper rights and well-being;
to be just to all men; to be kind and
respectful to others without sacrifice
of his self-respect; to be true to his
convictions, but to maintain them
without arrogance; to acquit his just
debts of money or of kindness; to al
low no selfish aim to encroach on
others rights; to covet no unearned
success, nor undeserved honor, but to
accept without vanity or conceit such
honors or success as may properly be
his to do his work cheerfully and I'M
ostentatiously, giving and getting as
much rational pleasure as possible on
the way to strive to attain that in
sight into the relations between the
desirable and the attainable-that COM
mon sense which makes human effort
and influence most effective for good.
Such a New Years resolution is COM
monplace enough, but surely all great
virtues are commonplace, except as ac-
cident or rare opportunity promotes
them to picturesqueness."

This is a true story, says writer in
LipDincott's.
When Mrs. Grover Cleveland was
Miss Frankie Folsom, the prettiest girl
in Wells College, she had as teacher in
English composition Miss Myra Rey-
nolds, now a professor at the Universe
ty of Chicago.
Miss Folsom handed in an essay one
day in which occurred the reprehen-
sible word pants
Miss Reynolds promptly crossed out
the offending term and wrote in the
margin
Gents wear pants, gentlemen wear
DantalOOnS.
The correction was obviously absorb
ed by the fair pupil. A few years
later, when Miss Folsom, as Mrs. Cleve-
land, had become the first lady in the
land, her former teacher received one
day an imposing looking letter from the
executive mansion, Washington. On
opening 1t a sheet of beautiful note
paper, bearing the monogram and crest
of the Presidents wife, appeared, to-
gether with Mrs. Cleveland's card. On
the center of the sheet was pinned
simply a newspaper clipping which
read
Mamma said little Emerson High
life of Boston. ARE the Gordon
Brownies and the De Whitneys and the
Burne-S mithsons all gone away for the

Eyes, dear. And why?"
Then, please. may 1 say pants till

The United States have given Great
Britain and Russia a pointed and
splendid object lesson in world politics,
in their treatment of Cuba. The Amer
lean occupation of that island is now
at an end; the last remaining Unit
ed States troops have been withdrawn,
the flag has been lowered and Cuba is
free. The United States entered the
island to put an end to a condition
that had become intolerable to them.
Having accomplished that purpose, it
would have been easy for them to hold
the island in perpetuity. They could
have annexed the territory or made
it a dependency, like Canada or Aus
tralia. They could have done with it
as they pleased, and no Power of Eu-
rope would have objected. Had Eng
land, or Russia, or Germany, been
similarly situated, is it conceivable that
they would have failed 70 make the
most of their opportunity? But the
United States have proved that they
did not enter into the war with Spain
from any mercenary motive. They
fought for Cuba's freedom, which they
have had the pleasure of handing to
her

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York World CDem.) thus
quotes Mr.. Glass of Alabama and
comments: THE Alabama delegation
said Mr.. Glass, will go uninstructed
to the National Convention to vote for
a conservative platform and conser-
vative candidates. And this is the
prevailing sentiment in every South
ern state where 'old-fashioned DEM
ocracy,' common sense and desire
to win dominate the situation"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: Evidently the silver
commission appointed to stir up the
nations into doing something to pro-
mote a stability in exchange between
gold and silver using countries has
not succeeded in impressing the Unit
ed State Senate with the practicable
ty of its schemes or the progress of it's
work The Committee on Appropria-
tions, at any rate, has declined to
recommend further expenditure of
money in this direction, and fixes upon
five months as the time within which
the commission is to wind up it's af-
fairs"
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Dem.)
says: ITO keep step with imperial
progress politically the social condi-
lions in the White House are becoming
very gorgeous. 1t takes an army de-
tachment headed by a colonel, with
good second lieutenant bringing up the
rear, to get the President into the re-
eepton room in proper form. The mill
tary staff is in the foreground from
first to last. The baIbaric display is
form of the diplomats, every one of
whom, by Mr.. Roosevelt's request
(command), must come in the bravest
finery he has in his trunk. This is
a brilliant shadow of Imperialism.
The New York Post Qnd.) says:
Secretary Shaw's announcement that
he means soon to call $45.0Oo,0Oo from
the national banks, on account of the
Panama canal payments, will excite
more serious thought at this time than
would ordinarily be given it. 1t is
easy to say that the money Will sim
ply be transferred from certain banks
to others, and that the effect on the
financial situation will be unimportant.
Yet the fact is, the banks that are
drawn on by the treasury will con-
ceivably have to call loans, thus ham,
pering their present customers. But
the important point is that the sec
retary's announcement comes right on
top of the most extraordinary increase
of New York bank loans on record.
In about five weeks the banks have en-
larged their loans by about $102, 600
900, bringing them up nearly to the
bilion-dollar mark. The treasury's
withdrawal of the Panama money must
be pondered in connection with this
fact. And it must also be remember
ed that this money must eventually
leave the country in some form or
other. The chances that tho nav
ments will fall due on an adverse ex-
change market have to be considered.
OF course. The natural tendency will
be to draw gold from this country, and
thus to impair the reserve capacity OF
American banks"

Modern.

The modern bridegroom led the mod
ern bride to the altar, says Life. The
modern clergyman was waiting for
them with his modern wedding cere-
mony wedding ceremony.
"Will you," he said to the BRIDE
groom, take this divorced woman to
your social wife, to have and to hold
until you are both tired of each 9TH
er?'
Il WILL" said the groom, with the
understanding that she is not to kick
up a row no matter who 1 bring home
with me, and that she turns over all
her available cash to help me out of
my scrapes."
"And will you" said the clergyman
to the woman, take this man to be
your companion in misery for so long
as you think best?"
II will" said the woman, "if don't
have to nurse him when he is sick,
or take breakfast with him."
'Is there anyone" said the clergy
man, who objects?"
mo one," said the spokesman for
the congregation. I'VE are all very
glad of it. 1t makes gossip, and the
mere fact that we are here will en-
able us to have our names in the pa
pers. Let the ceremony proceed"
"There!" said the clergyman, Il pro-
nounce you man and wife. Send me a
check or cash by registered mall give
your names and a description of your
presents to the society reporters, and
when you want a divorce, here's the
card of the best lawyer in the bus

Representative Gillette of Massachu-
sets has introduced into the House a
bill which he has designed for the pur-
pose of cutting off lot of congress
sional graft. The bill proposes that each
member of Congress shall be paid q
salary Of $500 a year, in lieu of all
demands for salary, mileage. clerk hire,
stationery and other perquisites, and
provides that the proposed Office build
ing for congressman shall not be con-
structed. Under the present system
each senator and representative re-
ceiyes a salary of IS, 600, is allowed ST.,
200 a year for clerk hire. $l25 a year
for stationery and whatever mileage
he can get at the rate Of 10 cents a
mile each way. And yet, while Mr..
Giilette's bill is designed to cut Off
graft, it provides that sG75 OF the So
500 additional shall be considered as
Office rent for members. Should the
bill be passed II is highly probable
that many members would discharge
their clerks and have their offices in
their hats. ~. -

LITTLE PROGRESS IN THE PHILIP
PINES.

There isn't anything encouraging in
the report of the Philippine Commits
sion or in the report of Gov. Taft, re-
Gently Governor of the islands. AS q
matter of fact the work of developing
and civilizing the islands isn't pro-
crossing very rapidly. 1t is serious
question whether they are not costing
us a great deal more than we shall ever
get out of them.
Great expectations were entertained
of the investment of American capital
in the islands. 1t was said that rail-
roads would be built, the lands opened
up to cultivation and industrial plants
established. Well, these expectations
haven't been realized yet to a degree
worth noticing. American capital
hasn't gone to the Philippines in great
quantities. The Americans who have
gone there with the view of investing
money have done so with the expecta-
ton of making as much as possible in
the shortest time, and then getting
back to their native land. They haven't
seen as many opportunities for MAX
ing money as they expected, and the
most of those which they have seen do
not look as attractive on close inspec-
tion as they did at a distance.
There is no doubt that there is a class
of Americans on the islands who are
great drawback to the work of civil
izing the natives. They are men, in
most cases. who have been discharged
from the army on account of the ex-
piration of the terms of their enlist
ment, and have decided to make what
they can out of the islands before re-
turning to their homes. OF course
they have no scruples as to the means
they use. They have no desire to as
sist in the work of improving the
moral and material condition of the
natives. Their whole purpose is to
crafty their own desires and to get
what they can.
OF course the islands are costing us
a great deal. and doubtless they will
continue TO do so. The commission
wants the duties on Philippine prod
ucts reduced to % per cent. of the
Dingley rates wants the control of
shipping between the islands given to
it and recommends the postponement
of the application of our navigation
laws to shipping between the islands
and the United States until 1909. OF
course the commission recommends
what it thinks will be helpful to the
islands. The chances arc. however,
that Congress win give the most con-
sideration to what would be best for
this country.

Harvard University has established a
department of phonetic archives" In
it are to be kept photograph records of
the voices of such persons as will prob
ably have future historical interest
for America. One of the first records
to be placed in the archives will be
that holding the voice of Emperor Will
liam of Germany. Similar archives are
to be kept at the National Museum and
the Congressional Library in Washing
ton. The idea is an excellent one, and
will be appreciated by generations to
come. AT the end of the century, for
instance, it will be highly gratifying
for the scholars and statesmen of that
period to hear, literally, the voices of
the men who were great at the begin
ming of it.

-Apropos of Mark Twain" the
Sketch tells the following story:
Mark" observed once at public din
ner that he had written a friendly
letter to Queen Victoria protesting
against tax being levied in England
on his head, on the ground that it was
a gas-works. Il don't know you," he
wrote, "but I've met your son. He was
at the head of a procession in the
Strand. and I was on bus" Years
afterward he met the King at HON.
burg, and they had a long talk. AT
parting the King said: II am glad
to have met you again." That last
word troubled Mark" who asked
whether the King had not mistaken
him for some one else. The reply:
why, don't you remember meeting
me in the Strand when / was at the
head of a procession, and you were or
a 'bus?" revealed the strength of royal
memories.

Mrs. Jack" Gardner of Boston is
still having trouble in the matter of
her art museum. Following the fed
eral governments levying $4,000 tar
iff taxes on her imported art works,
the state and city governments have
announced their intention of collecting
taxes on the property, on the ground
that it is not. and is not intended to
be, for the benefit of the public and
therefore, should be taxed like any
other private property. This prospect
Of continued taxation, from year to
year, is said to have determined Mrs.
Gardner to remove her art works and
herself to France permanently.

Sisyphus was rolling the stone up the

down, asked him why he did 1t. says
the Brooklyn Eagle.
Sisyphus, with a significant Ieer, an
swered: ITO keep it from gathering
MOSS which was ironically equiva-

Thousands of years afterward. sci
ence discovered that moss produces mi

many mortal ills. Therefore. a foxy
old gal invented what she called Sissy

waved wealthy and powerful; for
straightway myriads of suckers fell to
rolling stones UP hill and, thus having
something beside their livers to engage
their attention, were speedily cured OF
the many ills they did not have.
