be most expertly handled. Three things conduce to the belief that the affair can be successfully managed. The first-the dominant character of the Americans res ident here and now given added prestige by the presence of the American naval forces-has already been commented upon.
 Patronage a-Plenty.
 The second is that there will be enough patronage to satisfy the various elements from the several parts of the republic As a department in the Colombian fed eration the Panamaian provinces bore to Panama the same relation that counties do the states in our Union. The creation of Panama into a republic elevates these provinces. so that under the new govern ment they will assume the dignity Of states. This means that governors. sem ators. representatives and provincial con gressmen are to be chosen: alcades ana prefects. judges and prosecutors pohce inspectors and civil magistrates. customs officials. postmasters and all the other numerous cogs in the machinery or national government are to be appointed.

NAMES OF DOGS
DERIVATION OF AFFILIATIONS
 GIVEN VARIOUS BREEDS.
Hounds are the Present Survivors of the Time When All Hunting Dogs Were Used to
 Hound Game.

The spaniel is so called because the original breed of this beautiful and in- telligent type came from Spain, and the first arrivals in England were called Span ish dogs.
 The Spitx dog got Its name from it's sharp pointed nose. "Spitz'' means sharp point" in German. and the spitz was a favorite German breed before he became known in England and America. The Spitz is known also as Dalmatian dog because his native home is in Dal- matia.
 The dachshund Is another German breed. and his family name-almost as long and funny as the dog himself-is a German name. meaning badger dog.'' The original dachshund was used for drawing badgers. and the dogs still are great favorites among German hunters. although the breed has become a little too delicate for fighting such a gray old warrior as the badger.
 The fox terrier earned his name. not from any fancied resemblance to the fox. merry England" these terriers, much larger and stronger then, were used everywhere by sportsmen fo drawing and killing the fox. they being sent down into his burrow. It is said that no good fox terrier ever backed out of a burrow without his fox. . If he came out he had the dead fox gripped. If he didn't get the fox he didn't come out, but died there.
 The bulldog used to drive cattle. and as he was trained to meet the rushes of the bull by seizing him by his most sem sitive pofnt-the nose-the sturdy. brave dog came to be known in time as bull dog, In some countries he is known as bull bitter.
 The beautiful Blenheim spaniel is nam ed after Blenheim Castle, where this dog first was made fashionable in the time of the great Marlborough. The King Charles dog owes it's name to the Merry Monarch.
 The various breeds of hounds of to- day are called hounds because they arc the present survivors of the time when all hunting dogs were used to hound game. In the early hunting days of 2EgA pany the hunt was selected mainly for his speed and endurance. There were hounds that were supposed to follow the game by scent, and others who were sup posed to sight it a long way off. but all were expected to be able to run the game down. Consequently. while the name of hound. or hund in the ancient Saxon, was first used for all kinds of dogs. 1t finally came to denote hunting dogs only; that is why we call our run ming dogs hounds to-day. such as grey hounds. rabbit-hounds. bloodhounde, wolf hounds, bear hounds. deer hounds. etc.

brunt of the strokes of the wing that turn the creature in its flight. Few realize the strength of stroke of the birds wing. It is said that swan has been known to break A mans leg by blow of It's wing and in like manner the wing-beat- lngs of the larger birds are dangerous If they strike the head or face. If. thera- fore. a large bird is in the habit of max ing sudden turns to right or left in its flight 1t must be fitted with a wishbone competent to withstand the great strain of the wing-stroke on one side. with no special action on the other side F1r this reason we find in the eagle and like birds of quickly turning flight furcula that is a perfect Roman arch, widely at variance with the gothic arch, which IS the shape of the wishbone of our com mon fowls. The eagles furcula is a solid rounded arch. everywhere equally strong, and not developing those points of weak ness that made our sport of breaking the wishbone possible.

should be kept out of tho country. for no good can result from its presence. and as a boisterous. carousing element it can only add to the difficulties of sanitary regulation and administration. There must come, however, a dependable class-- men of resourcefulness. energy and gen. uine integrity-who will put the ,isthmus in an enduraPle sanitary state; and fol- lowing themA will come the executive forces of the canal work proper. This class of Americans will receive gener- ous welcome on the isthmus-the other Is not wanted at all-and so disposed are the Panamaians in their favor that they are more than ready to rely upon them to assist in the work of preserving and perpetuating the republic
 American Ascendancy Welcomed.
 These Americans will have an impreg- nable barricade. from behind which they may wield their influence. for over the 1o-mile canal zone the United States will assuredly exercise all police and civil au- thority. This zone cleaves the isthmus almost in half: 1t is the line along which runs the only avenue of transit across the isthmus. In the c...es of Panama and Colon we shall, also. be the controlling powerful Panama, because of the ceded right to construct. maintain and operate waterworks and sewerage systems. and In Colon. because the Island of Manzanillo. upon which Colon is built belongs to the Panama Railroad and will consequently. pass into the possession of the United States government, all inhabitants of Colon becoming thereby tenants of the United States.
 Inherently weak as the -Panamaians may be for the task of working out their own salvation-and that they are weak they do not deny--it will be seen that the United States is destined to throw about them such a cloak of protection that their failure will be we'll nigh impossible. It might be more laudable if they were strong and reliant enough to do for them selves the things that must be done; but here in Panama, where the situation is known most intimately. there Is no note of dissatisfaction with conditions as they actually exist. and. serene in their reli- ance upon the United States, the Pana- maians look hopefully. albeit somewhat chaotically, toward the formal establish ment of their new government.

 Panama. R. F.. Dec. 2o.-with the re- turn of Dr. Manuel Amador from Wash, fngton a more lively interest than has hitherto been manifested in the future of this freshly matched republic is being shown by those in positions of power
 The great body of the populace-that non- descript mass of humanity which peoples the isthmus in it's few inhabited spots remains callous and indifferent to it's suddenly acquired political freedom. The leaders of this mass-the men who incu- bated the republic-are. however. moving with unwonted energy and purpose. They are exhibiting a determination not before displayed by them toward getting the government they called into being upon
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-01-03
DR. AMADOR IS
 THE GOVERNMENT
He is the Ruling Spirit of the New Republic on the
 Irthmu.r.

The explanation for this seemingly anomalous procedure in what pretends to be a republic lies in the fact that the masses of the Panamaian populace are wholly unfitted to wield the ballot. Pan anna is peopied by Indians native Colom-
 bians. negroes, Chinese and forNgners of all races and classes. The population, save among the very limited number of .upper-class people," is essentially tat terdemaiion aggregation-a "no-name'' people traceable to promiscuous and long, continued intermarriage of the races. It Is no uncommon thing to see six or seven shades, of color in one family, while
 brothers and sisters play together obliv- ious of. the incongruity offered by the presence of one child with slant eyes. an other black-hued, by with pig-tails. and
