But since Senator Hanna threw the
searchlight of a, dazzling intellect upon
the question We feel reassured- Wheth-
er organized capital triumphs over or
ganized labor, or organized labor tri-
umphs oven organized capital, we
cannot lose. We are bound to be VIC
torious; for if we are defeated as Ia
borers we triumph as capitalists, and
If we are routed as capitalists we con-
quer as labofers. To the victors be-
longs the spoils, and we are certain to
be victors, Mr.. Hanna has lifted
heavy load from our hearts, and we
begin to wonder how the world man

BAD EOR The PARTY.

DIAL run ran
Those Southern Democratic senators
whose votes are to be had in support
of the Panama treaty are doing the
greatest injury within their power to
Democracy. We do not imagine for
moment that the treaty could be de-
feated if Democracy were arrayed SOL
idly against it. That, however, would
place the responsibility for a disgrace
full act squarely where it belongs, upon
Republican shoulders.
The Democrats who act otherwise
are singularly short-sighted. Their de-
sire, or the desire of their constituents
and their section, for the early compile
ton of the canal has no bearing on the
question whatever. In the first place,
the Republican majority will carry this
through without them. In the second
place, they are in no danger whatever
in their states from Republican votes.
In the third place, the Panama infamy
is in no wise essential to the immedi-
ate completion of the canal. We could
get the Panama route just as easily
without robbery; and if we did not get
it we could, without delay, build a
canal by the Nicaragua route, the only
one having any standing or advocates
in this country, practically, until about
a year ago.
The moral issue involved is a seri-
Gus one, and fortunately it is so plain
that there is not room for honest differ
ence of opinion. This is a statement
so broad and positive that we seldom
make it, but it is applicable here We
are bound by treaty obligations the
most sacred that the country can
know to maintain the sovereignty OF
Colombia over the isthmus of Panama.
We have no more right and no more
ability to repudiate that obligation
than any other. To repudiate it in the
disgraceful conspiracy, and to reaffirm
to Panama the promise which we have
just shattered in our dealings with Co.
lombia will not involve us in war with
anybody; will not, probably, create any
great domestic stir; but it will still fur
Their weaken the moral sense of the ma
ton, and help to convince the mass Of
the pepole that the country has reached
a point where it is not worth while in
public matters to draw a distinction
between the truth and a lie, or between
honesty and robbery.
When such an issue as this is raised
Democrats ought to be lined up solidly
on the right side of it. There is no ex-
cuse for a single detection There is
great disappointment and disgrace in
a divided vote. We cannot understand
. how any Democrat, even in Difference
to local demand that he sacrifice
honor to imagined commercial advan-
tage, can stoop to support hostile
administration on an issue where it is

PROMISEDIMMUNITY
Inspector Wanted One of the
GrOffs to Testify.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. I. -
Samuel A. Croft, the inventor of the
street letter box fastener, today took
the stand in the postal trials and told
how he conceived the idea of getting
up the device and the efforts made by
him to find some one besides his broth
er to take an active interest in plac-
ing 1t. The fastener had been adopted
and an order for the Washington post
office paid for, he testified, before Mr..
Lorenz in 1895, proposed to work up a
sentiment in favor of 1t among the
postmasters of the country. The wit
ness declared he never spoke q word
to Machen about the fastener other
than to admit in response to a question
put by Machen at a public test that it
fitted too tightly. Up to that time, he
said, he never had heard Of Mr. LOrenz,
and after making the agreement with
him, witness never saw him again un-
til last summer nine years afterward.
Preceding Samuel A. Croft on the
witness stand was Diller +. Croft, son
of DilIer B. Croft, who said that should
the government see fit to purchase the
fasteners the Groffs now have on hand
they would pay Mr.. Lorenz his share
of the profits, in accordance with the
agreement made in 1895.
Mr.. Croft, referring to a conversation
between his father and the postoffice
inspectors at his fathers house, de-
clared he overheard Inspector Mayer
say to d. III. Croft:
What we want you to do, DR.. Croft.

footed"
