THE COLOMBIAN DEBr.

There is a general wish to have Pana-
ma agree to pay her pro rata of the Co
lombian debt, or about 100000. She
had about one-sixteenth of the Colombian
population, and the Colombian debt is
S15,OOO0OO. This would make her share
something less than 81, O0O, 600, but it is
not a matter for splitting fractions. Nor
is there any legal compulsion about it. No
portion of the debt was incurred for Pana-
mas benefit, and we should probably take
the same position that we did in regard
to Cuba, which was saddled with the enor.
n,ouse debt incurred by Spain for purposes
in which Cuba had no part or let. We then
refused to let Cuba pay a dollar of It
There is also the proposition to refer the
matter to the Hague, which, while we
would have every confidence in the justice
of the decision of that tribunal, yet VIC
cannot tolerate, because we expressly with
drew from consideration by the Hague, all
purely American questions, particular,
those referring to the Monroe Doctrine
We said that the Monroe Doctrine and all
that related to American affairs were do
nestle matters, not to be passed upon by
foreigners. Therefore, the question of Pan
ama's share of the debt is matter that
We must determine ourselves. IL we allow
Panama to pay $1,000, 900 to the United
States of Colombia, it must be accepted
more as a gracious giftshan anything else
Colombia tried her utmost to blackmail
a great world project, and to make her any
allowance whatever after her complete fail
ure, is generosity leaning to the excess.

Mr. Il. e. ELMwoOD, who ID here as
an advocate for Statehood for Arizona, has
presented the claims of that Territory in
very forceful way. He says that while
Arizona had population Of $4,000 in
1880, there is every evidence to show that
the population to-day is fully 80 per cent.
greater, and that this population is as per-
manent and stable as that of any State
in the Union. 1t is made up OF the very
best elements, and not Of Mexicans and
railroad foaters, as has been alleged. The
eansus of 1900 shows only 1900 of for.
eign birth in the Territory, of whom but
100 were Mexicans. All that Arizona
wants is Statehood and irrigation to as
sure her Of future of wonderful bril-
liancy. Arizona does not desire to b.
united to New Mexico, which would make
a territory too great to be properly ad
ministered. since the breadth of the Stats
would be greater than the distance from
New York TO Chicago.

Irish Are Leaving Democracy.

AS regards the swing of The Bos-
ton Pilot from Democracy into the
Republican column, T. ST. John
Gaffney, a personal friend OF the
pres ident and y prominent Catholic
Republican, of New York, gives the
causes:
Gone Of the most gratifying fea-
lures of recent American political
Campaigns is the apparent breaking
away from the Democratic party OF
a large and influential element of our
citizens of Irish birth and descent.
There is no doubt in my mind that a
great deal Of the pejudice which has
been directed against the Irish in
the past has been the result of its
Identification with Democratic mum
cipal politics. Again, our race has
Suffered severely and unjustly in
American public opinion by reason
OF Its association with Iammany
Hall.
IF we had been more eveny di-
vided between the two great parties
it would have been much to our ad-
vantage socially, commercially and
politically, and this opinion I know
is shared by the leaders of the Cath
Ollie hierarchy.
1.-The Pilot represents the spirit of
the times in refusing to be a perpe-
tual appendage to discredited par
ty. President Roosevelt will receive
a larger Democratic vote than Blaine.
His popularity with Instantaneous
is far greater than was that of the
