longer that would have been
necessary II his case had been strong.

plea In attempted justification of acts
which are moi justifiable under the ord.
mary rules which should govern our
conduct as individuals and. certainly
our conduct as nation
We had a right to expect. for in.
stance, that the president would have
good reason, In honor and under the
law OF nations, for his precipitate rec.
ignition of Panama as an independ.
ent republic; but, after trying IN

after admitting also that "a new state
should not be recognized as independ.

maintain its independence" against
the parent government-7-admitting
also that the Republic of Panama had
not reached this state-he discards

they have supposed they were being
supplied by their. party press with the
information and discussion requisite
for good citizenship. These papers,
especially the dailies, have deliberate
ly misled them
Nevertheless truth spreads, and the
masses of both old parties are ready
TO consent to populist demands. 10
prevent these voters from going over
to the populists or socialists the re-
publicans will make concession after
concession: and it is the function or
the peoples party to procure these
concessions-to compel them. The
populists cannot get the opportunity
to enact reform measures; and the
republicans, having the opportunity,
cannot use it unless the populists
keep up strong party for agitation.
We will not get into office by this
process, and it is just as well we can
not. II is better for us that the pie
hunters should remain in the old par
ties where they belong However, we
must make the effort to win elections,
and in some states we will likely Sue
coed, especially in the south, If the
democrats nominate Clevelandite.
AS to policies and declarations, we
should avoid saying much that is new,
but there are two things we should
do.
First-We should make it clear that
while we intend justice and oppOrtun-
ity for the negroes, and desire Their
| votes, we will not admit them to any
influential position in the party, espe-
cially in the southern states This
stand is necessary both for populis1
success and for the negroes own vel
| fare in other respects.
Second-We ought to devise some
way to obtain the cooperation il
practical ways of democratic and re.
publican individuals who sympatnizt
with our purposes, but do not see any
necessity for changing their party con
/ nections. There are countless thou
sands of these people.

Editor independents: You ask me,
What Is the prospect of maintain
ing the peoples party as really vital
political organizations"
That question rifles me, coming as
it does from The Independent. it i'm
plies doubt, and is a confession that
the policy supported by The Indepen-
dent has almost wiped out the grand
est political party that ever existed in
all the history of the world.
DO not stand doubling. Don't stop
to ask such question. Stand up
bravely and unswervingly for the peo-
pies party. Fight both old parties
to finish. all down the line from
president to constable.

(BrO. Dixon is temporarily afflicted

Those who have been happily con-
verified to populism are not troubled
by doubts as to the virtue of populist
principles-but they may we'll ask.
How far have these principles been
disseminated; how generally do the
people accept them?
No sane man has ever doubted that
fusion with another party would re-
suit In breaking down the weaker or
ganization; but it's effect upon the
stronger party is something man, are
prone to ignore. Until a new party
can command sufficient strength to

tional work. Eight years of fusion
has educated hundreds of thousands
of democrats to know that there is a
fundamental difference between the
democracy of Cleveland and the dem
ocracy of Bryan; and that OF itself Is

ple-not to the banks, but to the
masses of the people-at reasonable
and uniform interest, is practicable,
because it is being done in New Zea-
land every day, with profit to the
government and help to the people,
and the losses are almost nothing.
Postal savings banks are practicable
because they are in daily operation in
New Zealand and in many other cOun-
tries.
Government telegraph is practicable
because the telegraph is operated by
the government in every civilized
country. except Bolivia, Honduras,
Cyprus, Cuba, and the United States
Of America.
The package pest is practicable be-
cause it is in daily operation in New
Zealand, England Germany, and many
other countries.
Land titles are guaranteed by the
government in New Zealand.
Personal property is exempted from
taxation, small land holdings are ex-
empted. and land value is taxed with
an increased rate On large holdings in
New Zealand, in order to protect the
humble home and place the burden of
taxation where it can best be borne.
The railroads are run for service,
not profit, in New Zealand, and school
children are carried free.
Incomes and inheritances are taxed
in New Zealand and in many other
countries, and the larger the income
or inheritance, the larger the propor-
tomato tax.

| in New Zealand and worthy old age in
need gets pension.

Kept within reasonable bounds by the
government going into the coal mining
business and Offering competition to

things, and allow your opponents to

DEPARTURE OF CANAL COM.
MISSION,

The recent sailing Of the Panama Ca.
nal Commission for the Isthmus on their
first visit of inspection, coupled with the
announcement from Paris that the suit
Of the Republic of Colombia against the
Panama Canal Company has failed, SAYS
the Scientific American, must bring home
to the people Of the United States the
conviction that the long deferred con-
struction Of the canal across the lsthmns
is at last about to commence. The COM
mission, as appointed by the President
consists Of Rear Admiral John G. Walker,
William Barclay Parsons, Col. F. J
Heckvr, y. E. Grumsky, Gen George 5
Davis, Benjamin M. Ilarrod, and W. II
Burr. Accompanying the commission
DR.. Col William G. GOrgas and DR.. Louis
La Garde, of the Unted States army,
and DR.. Ross, of the navy, who are to
have supervision of the sanitary ar
rangements on the Isthmus.
The decision of the first Civil Tribunal
of the Seine against the Republic of
Colombia says of the various treaties
made by Colombia: "These articles have
the manifest purpose of assuring the full
exercise of sovereignty over the canal,
1t results from what is established before
this tribunal, that Colombia is not in
possession of the territory traversed by
the canal. By coming before French

its inability itself to control the
the canal. It therefore follows naturally
that II has lost sovereignty over the terri
tory Irayersed by the canal.
