COLOMBIA is ANGRY.
Congress in Boaota Sewers Relations
With United States.

Bogota, Colombia, July 2S.-The Col
onbian congress has severed all Dip
lomatic relations with the United
States after cancelling all existing
treaties and Withdrawing all diplo-
matte and consular exequaturs.
The action has created the greatest
excitement here, but has the general
support of the populace, which is ex-
ceedingly bitter toward the United
States.
The session of congress opened yes
terday with Joaquin Velez as president
OF the senate and Concha Perez Soto
as speaker of the house. The anti
United States element predominated.
Lewis NJ Cairo was seated as the
representative from Panama, after the
senate had passed resolution pro-
testing against the separation of Pan
anna ard refusing to recognize in any
way the declaration of independence
of Nov 3, 1903
The Intervention of the United States
IN behalf of the seeded state was
roundly denounced, and emphatic reso-
lutions on the subject were adopted in
both houses.
Little Change in Condition.
Washing TON. July ao.--SOloIllDld mas
not been represented dlplomatieally at
Washington for more than a year.
Minister Concha. who took up the orig
inai canal negotiations, was forced to
retire from Washington because of his
demands for a personal consideration
as a requisite To any treaty. He
was practically driven out of Wash
ington, and is still marked absent" on
the diplomatic list. Dr. Herran. secre-
tary of the legation. concluded the
canal treaty which the congress of Co.
lombia repudiated.
Then came the revolution of Novem-
Der 3. by which Panama declared its
independence. Even DIR. Herran re-
tired from business then. and since
that time Colombia has never been re-
gularly represented in this country al
though Minister Concha has never pre-
sented his recall.
No Treaty With Colombia.
Furthermore, there is no real treaty
between the United States and Colom-
hIa. The treaty was made with New
Granada In 1915, and Colombia fell heir
tn 1t as a result of various revolutions
since then. With the sthmus cut out
Of it the treaty of 1916 amounts to lit
tie or nothing.
1t is supposed here that the action of
the Colombian congress means the
withdrawal from that country of the
minister and consular representatives,
of the United States. Such action is
frequently taken by nations which wish
to mark their displeasure.

The Comma Brotherhood.

There shall come from out this noise OF
strife and grooming
A broader and a Juster brotherhood;
A deep equality OF aim, postponing
All selfish seeking to the general good.
There shall come time when eacn snail
to another
Re ms Christ would have him-brother
unto brother
There shall come time when brother
hood grows stronger
Than the narrow bounds which now DIS
tract the world:
When the cannons roar ana trumpets
bare no longer,
And the ironclads rust. and battleflags
are furled
When the bars Of creed and speech and
race which sever.
Shall be fused in one humanity forever

A Gem From India.

Single is every living creature born
Single he passes to another world,
Angle he eats the fruit of evil deeds,
Single the fruit OF good. and when he
leaves
His body like log or heap of clay
Upon the ground his kinsmen walk away;
Virtue alone stays by him at the tomb
And bears him through the dreary, track
less gloom.

The president recommends that the greenbacks be retired and bank notes substituted. That will give the banks an interest on $346,o00,o GOO more of their notes, that are printed by the govern. ment and furnished them for nothing, except the cost of looking after the ac, counts. Of course, the bankers have no interest in destroying the peoples money and substituting their own. But let it be done, says Appeal to Rea- son. The more the people are op- pressed, the more special privileges that are granted to the rich, the sooner will the people wake up. The people never reyolted against a "good'' king, but. always against bad one. So, the worse the system grows the sooner will it. be ended.

According to the annual report of the commissioner of pensions, the cost of the pension system, which reached it's maximum in 1893, when it amounted to s2.44 per capita of the entire population, has become less each year, and in 1904 the total cost of pensions amounted to, only $1.77 per capita of population. The num- Der of pensioners remaining on the roll June 30, 1904. was 994,762, net loss of 1,7S3 from the previous year. The commissioner estimates that the death rate among the pensioners this year will be about forty-seten thou sand, and the losses to the pension rolls from other causes will be about five thousand. The thigh water mark of pensions as to numbers was reached in July, 1902, when there were 1.oO1, ,494 pensioners on the. roll; under the operation of existing laws it is not at all likely that these fig ures will be reached again. A state ment accompanies the report showing that 3,304, ,e95 soldiers and sailors rem dered service in the several wars in which this country has been engaged, and that the average pension that has been paid out on account of each en- listment is $962. The above number does not include a great number of civilians who rendered service in tenn porary local organizations against In dians without making any claims for such services. Two pensioners of the revolutionary war died during the year, leaving three pensioners of that war on the roll--one widow and two daughters. Only one survivor of the war of 1872 remains on the roll The disbursement for army and navy pen sions for the fiscal year were s141.- 093.5T1, which was less than the ap- propriation made by congress for meeting these claims. and an unex- pended balance of S1,410,326 was coy- cred into the treasury

The year is closing in much better shape than expected, says Banker Clews. Since the harvest, improve, ment has been so marked that much of the ground lost during the panicky year of 1903 has been regalned. Rafle road earnings, bank clearings, pig iron production and other trustworthy in- dicators tell the story of revival. and there are no signs yet of the onWaro movement in business having reached it's climax. The outlook for 1905 is even brighter than that of 1904. the only hindrance to activity being the universal high level of prices. This would suggest that it is time to call. a halt were it not that owing to the na- tional growth our industries are stfl1 unable to meet demands. We still need more houses, more food, more clothing and better transpoFtation, and until these demands are satisfied there can be no serious recession in values.

At the present rate Of emigration from the United States to the Cana dian Northwest, that section will be 'fAmericanized'' before many years. It is asserted, on Canadian authority, that fully fifty thousand Americans, mostly from the middle west, have ta- ken up locations on the Canadian side within the past fifteen months. Bvi- dently the Canadians favor the emi- grafton, for a Dominion agent has been authorized to open an office in Boston, from which he will carry on a campaign in the agricultural dis. tricts in New England, to 1nouce farmers to locate in the Canadian Northwest.

souRTsHIP 5 BEGINS MHEN?
Famous English Judge Finds Himself Facing Perplexing Prob
 lem in Court.

When does coartship begin? At the moment when a man first meets his affinity? At the time when he real izes that ''the only girl in the world is his affinity? Or Rt the time when he determines to let her guess his views on the subject? asks tic Chi eago Tribune.
 This delicate question was raised in the English probate and divorce court. The president, Sir Francis JeuEa, was compelled to admit that the solution was beyond him. The point was raised in this way: A young man named George Whitehead was aRlxins the court to declare that the Scotch marriage between his parents was valid. His mother, Mrs. Whitehead, was called as a witness in support of his case, and gave evidence about her courtship, which began, she said, in the gardens that flank Princes street in Edinburgh. ''How long mad your husband been courting> you when he proposed to you?" asked counsel. Mrs. Whitehead hesitated, funding che query hard to answer, and the president came to her rescue. Gan anyone say that?'' he remarked. ''I doubt if q man knows himself when he first be- gins to court girl."

 Dispatches from manufacturing towns in Connecticut and Massachu- setts show how seriously industries are handicapped by the scarcity Of water. If the present warm weather continues, the melting snow will fI all probability relieve the situation to a certain extent. Here in Meriden, as manufacturers do not have to depend upon water power to keep their estab- lishments going, the problem is not so serious business wise but it would make people feel more comfortable if l the reservoirs registered greater depth.--Meriden Record.
 New Britain has arrived at the con clusion that she cannot collect the $50, ,000 due in military and poll tax. Every city in the state is in the same predicament, and the confession made 1 in New Britain that it would be poli- tieal suicide to attempt it by those holding office, is only another illustla- l ton of one class paying, while others escape their just dues.

SATURDAY. DECEMBER 24,, 1904.

Another year has rolled around, and another Christmas season is with us. Falling on Sunday this year, Christmas will be celebrated with more solemnity and by more people than would be the case were it some other day. The season is one of joy, or should be, peace, good will and contentment. The Democrat hopes that everyone will have his full share of the happiness and prosperity that should abound at this time, and wish es all a very merry Christmas.
