Eminent Domain.

When the government wants a
certain piece of property for n
building, or even when railroad
needs place for its right Of way.
1t may take it from its private
owners. under the right of "emin-
eut domain" by paying what it Is
fairly worth. The law does not
allow a single individual to stand
in the way OF the general interests
of society. Pension Commissioner
Ware argues that there is a larger
right of the same sort which au-
thorizes the taking of such piece
of land as the isthmus of Panama
for world objects. in spite of lis
casual owners. He says:
lis there not n world-right of
eminent domain, and in that sense
i not the world sovereignty Is
there not a world-empire for the
benefit of interoceanic commerce.
The oceans belongs To every body,
and every body has right therein
and thereto. And if a rigth of way
for inter oceanic commerce Is de
manded. has not the world-empire
the right of eminent domain to
force way. and can mere rights
of local sovereignty stand in the
way of the world right! Could
Turkey seal up the BosphorousY
Has Panama or any other isthmus
the legal or moral right to prevent
this world empire from forcing an
open channel for the worlds in
teroceanic commerce?
The concensus of the CONNER
cial power of the world demands
that way bs built across the
isthmus. and the party is now
found who will build it. Is now
the right of way an ingredient Of
the worlds right that commerce
may flow from ocean to ocean?
And what right has a local state
or sovereignty 20 thwart that
world-right or to demand any
thing more than just and reason
able compensation for what is
really taken? Must we not ulti
mately reach the doctrine that the
Worldom OF commerce may exer-
else the right of eminent domain
to make trade routes for shi,
from ocean to ocean,"

ON RECORD.

The Mississippi Legislature has
gone on record as favoring ratiti-
cation Of the Panama canal treaty.
Senator Walker. of Aberdeen, one
of the ablest young statesmen of
the State, introduced in the Sen
ate the resolution given below
which speaks for itself:
"Approaching the tremendous
importance of an Isthmian canal
TO the commerce OF the world and
especially the benefits that it will
be TO the whole South from the
construction of such waterway
between the Atlantic aud the Pa
citic oceans, which would make of
Mississippi an open gateway for
world wide commerce and traffic {:
realizing that conditions have so
shaped themselves that the conn
try must choose between the
Panama route and indefinite and
proba ble permanent postponement
of the elimination of the canal at
any point across Central America +;
and waving all questions of right
or wrong in the recognition of the
government of the republic OF
Panama, for which we of Missis-
sippi are in no way responsible.
all OF which Is now an accom-
plished fact, presenting a condi-
ton which must be met 10y this
country. Therefore be il
Resolved, BY the senate, the
house concurring that it is the
sense of the Legislature tina. the
treaty touching the construction
of this canal now pending be-
tween the government and the re-
public of Panama should be
speedily ratified, and thereby
make certain the only apparently
possible opportunity presented to
this country for the construction
of an Isthmian canal.
Second, That Senators Money
and McLaurin be and are hereby
urged to use their best enoeayors
to secure the ratification of this
treaty.
The Senate after a general dis
cussion adopted the resolution
With but one dissenting vote.
In the House the resolution was
generally discussed aud was adopt
ed by the vote of 81 10 36.
The sentiment of the majority
OF the members of tho legislature
Was clearly shown in the discus
sion as we'll as the vote.
And thus it is shown that Mis-
sissippi is still for progress and
that thoughtful Mississippians
look upon the construction Of an

An inquisitive paper in Missouri
wants to know "who is the happi-
er. the man with 100000. or one
who has seven daughters?" At
first blush this seems to be "pos-
er." but closer investigation shows
that it is dead easy ore." It ie
well known that the desire for
money grows by what it feeds on
and no human being ever has
enough. Clearly, therefore. the
man with 100000 is not content.

of manageable age. is perfectly
