Canal Commissions Duties.

The presidents letter Of instruc-
tons to the isthmian canal commits
sion. issued Yesterday, is the letter Of
and difficulty of the work of inter-
oceanic canal construction by the
United States government, and the
necessity Of making a record of public
works construction, unstained or sul-.
lied by Jobbery Of any kind, and COM
pleted fully within the lines of abso-
lutte economy, consistent with the best
quality of the work required.
The calamitous failure of the De.
Lesseps organization has left it's mark
between Colon and Panama in ruined
structures and rusted machinery. The,
history of the De Lesseps canalization.
is the history Of monumental en-
cheering incompetency, grotesque ex-
travagance. misrepresentation Of funds,
and a wide swath of stealing. -.
De Lesseps himself was not bred to
engineering; he had cut a level canal
thru the level neck Of land between
the Red sea and the Mediterranean
where were no difficult engineering
problems to solve. The Walker com
mission is charged with the -prosecu-
cheering feats of our age. In tropi-
cal regions, the ability Of the engineer
Is severely tested in the construction
Of works with view of making them
proof against the effects of the rainy
season. A flood of a night may de-
molish costly works, and tropical
fevers may fight against both laborers
and engineers.
The president counsels the commits
sion to make the canal strip, thru the
application of scientific sanitation and
hygiene, as near a health resort as
science can make it. He urges the
necessity of such supervision Of ex-
penditures as is the habit Of private
corporation dependent for its profits
on the returns, and, in accordance
with his instructive love of honest
public service and efficiency in every
department, he dwells upon their re-
sponsibility and places the commits
sioners on their mettle, as the agents
for the construction Of one of the
greatest of the worlds public works,
| which will reflect high honor upon the
| nation.
"You represent the whole country, y
says the president. "You represent

single one Of you, and, indeed, I have

IA large element Of the Irish party
der Of Ireland by England, the with
drawal of British garrisons and royal
constabulary from authority in Tres
land, the dissolution of the union,
would very surely bring about serious
antagonism between the vet consid-

On the whole, it will be best for Mr..
Redmond and his fellow agitators for
Irish nationalism to reflect that, II an
actual strategic movement We're made
by them to actualize their program,
the result would be a physical strug-
gle with the, imperial government
which they could not maintain. Irish
gains politically and industrially and
socially have been many and sbenef1-

agitation, and, with the continuous
growth Of autonomous local govern

the recent legislation, and the pres

An Irish Cato.

John Redmond has the rugged per-
sistence of Cato, the censor, who, in
his octogenarian days, Numbered his
"Delenda est Carthago!" in the ears
of. the Roman senators, urging them
to another war with Carthage to an
initiate that troublesome oversee en-
envy. This Irish Cato made one Of
his most vigorous appeals Sunday, to
a meeting of Irish nationalist at Man,
chester, to grid themselves, for a. more
strenuous struggle for home rule in
Ireland and the destruction of the act
of union of 1901. The first business
of the Irish party, he declared, is to
strike down the Balfour government
and see that no government Is put in
power which refuses to grant home
rule to the. Irish. . IS
The present conservative govern
ment believed that chronic Irish dis
content and unrest would be perma-
nently removed, if a measure to meet
the land hunger of the Irish people
were passed. Last August a new Irish
land bill was passed, nearly unani-
mously, by the house Of commons and
by, the lords, who had killed the Glad
stone home rule bill in 1898. This
measure provides for government aid
to the peasants who desire to buy their
holdings and become proprietors, and
covers about 400, 900 holdings by ten
ants, British credit being pledged to
/ the extent of $5OO,0OO,000 in order
! to finance the transaction. Three COM
| missioners are provided to arrange the
terms between landlords and tenants,
the latter to repay the money ad-
1 vanced over a term of sixty-twos years,
while the government makes the land
lords present Of $60,000,000 for
agreeing to sell out.
Mr.. Wyndham, chief secretary for
ireland, introduced the measure and
commented upon4it as if he believed
it, would absolutely pacify Irish unrest
and bring about permanent harmony
| William O'Brien, chief Of the Irish
land league, declared when the bill
was passed: 'Now, for the first time

THE SPIRIT HE HEARD

Captain Charles &. Potter, United States
engineer in Duluth, has been reading up
on spiritualism Of late. The other after
noon, being at leisure in his office, he was
absorbed in a book which treats Of his
5favorite topic, when he heard a hollow
voice in the ROOM The captain well
coined the manifestation, which was much
more convincing than anything he had
seen or heard in seances. The voice
seemed to come from behind his desk and
the captain proceeded to hunt for its
source. He located: the general direction
from which the voice was coming and
kept crowding his left ear that way. He
listened fntently, and the hollow, distant,
tomblike voice was heard to say: please
hang up your receiver Then the mys-
terry was cleared up, Captain Potter hung
up the receiver OF the desk telephone
which he had accidentally left off the
hook, and The read no more in the spirit

One-Sided Educational Effort.

This Is commencement day at the

boys, after completing a three years
course, return to. their rural homes
to put in practice the new ideas they
have learned at the farm school. Ag-

would no doubt produce equally bene-

The plain statement of: James j. Hill,

dissolved, when compared with the inter

somewhat interesting and shows to what
politicians will resort to 1nislead the peo-

that the law will be obeyed. Mr.. Collins
says that it is now the duty Of the peo-

who will enforce the laws against such

course, that he is the only man who can

American Interest in British Pol
tiles

The narrow escape the Balfour min
istry had in the British house Of COM
mons on Monday is but one more sign
of the approaching turnover in Brit
ish politics. The people are evidently
getting tired Of. the conservative par
ty, and the liberals, who but short
time ago seemed to be on the verge
of dissolution, are now almost GER
tain to carry the country at the next
election. r..
This reaction is partly due to a
widespread feeling that the govern
ment is not strong one and to the
dissatisfaction of the majority of the
electors with the Chamberlain fiscal
scheme, which has the sympathy, If
not the support Of the government.
The first flush of enthusiasm for the
new cause has passed., and the reac-
ton has set in favorable to the policy
In which almost all Englishmen have.
believed for nearly half a century,
Neither at home nor in the colonies
has the Chamberlain idea prospered
as Mr. Chamberlain hoped it would.
At first glance it would seem as If the
colonies would be emphatically in. ia
vor of it, but little examination into
the question shows that there is really
not much in it to arouse the interest
of the colonies. ..-.
Take Canada for example: The
proposed tariff on breadstuffs and
other foods would, it has been figured,
not add more than $6,00O,0OO a year
to Canadian profits. In, return for
this premium the Canadians would
be expected to make sweeping reduc-
tions in the tariffs on English goods.
The preferential Of ,one-third which
those goods now enjoy in the Cana
dian market has helped them only a
very little.
But the Canadians think they have
gone to the limit already. Indeed,
the Canadian proposition Of those who
wish to cooperate with Chamberlain
ii advanced first, and then give British
goods a big preferential. But the &C
tual duty on those goods might be
higher under such an arrangement
. than it is at present, There would
be mighty little assistance to the
i British manufacturer in such a de.
vice, tho there would be much fol
y the Canadian manufacturer. It would
be a lop-sided trade. The British
consumer would merely have taxed
himself to benefit the: Canadian pro
Queer Of goods and would have re-
ceived nothing in return except, per.
haps, a loss Of a part Of his Canadian
3 trade.
With the defeat Of the conservative
party in England and the continuation
of the Laurier government in powel
In Canada there will likely come
time in the next three or four year
when the negotiation Of a reciprocit.
treaty with Canada will be quite pos
sible. Will our government have tn
disposition and the foresight to seiz
