THE RIGHT TO asHADowu

The court Of last resort in New York
state has rendered an interesting de-
cisien UNFOLDING the right of a private
detective to shadow" a private citizen.
The case has gone through all the
courts with varying fates. In one in
stance it was held that the citizen has
a right to go to his business uninter-
fered with and unannoyed by some de-
tectiye following on his heels. The
court of appeals declares otherwise,
and holds that the mere act of one per-
son following another does not consti-
tute crime unless there is some overt
annoyance or personal interference.
The doctrine seems a sound one 1t
is difficult for courts, as it is for juries,
to make impartial search for the law
and the equity on this subject, be-
cause there is natural prejudice
against the detective occupation. 9th
er things being equal, the man who is
following or shadowing another will al
ways be out of public sympathy. Yet
we all know that were there no pri-
vate detectives, were it impossible to
follow down quietly the skilled agents
of crime, justice would remain undone
and innocence would suffer in hun
dreds of cases every day.
We are getting altogether too finical
in this country, and too ready to resort
to law about trifies. To the average
man the idea that he.was being "shad-
owed" by detective would contain
large element of humor. Nothing could
give the upright soul greater joy than
to lead some Jealous detective ON
wild goose chase and fool him to the
top of his bent by deliberate evidence
of non-existent guilt. The conscience
that is without burden does not
worry itself greatly over the supposed
stigma of such undesirable attendance
1t looks at the whole thing as joke.
The general resort to the remedy of
injunction, wholly proper and neces-
sary as it is in many cases, has created
a tendency to abuse. This is one in
stance of it. Every man thinks that
the law has remedy for any act, how
ever indirect or trifling. that is person
ally unpleasing to him. 1t is time that
we recovered something of our earlier
hardness, and with greater confidence
in ourselves were more independent of
our fellows. 1t does no innocent man
any particular harm to be Swallowed,
and it is costing somebody hard work
and good money. The point of the joke

JUST RETRIBuTioN

One cannot feel particularly sorry for
the disappointed people of Panama and
Colon who see ruin staring them in the
face. The annexation of the canal
strip to the United States, with the
open custom house in the canal zone
according to our uniform rule with
subjugated peoples and annexed terri
tory, means destruction for native in
dustries and for the government The
so-called republic sees its finish at the
hands of the power that made it.
This is only just retribution. The
conspiracy out Of which the alleged
Panama republic was born was Matched
in these two cities, with at least a
thorough conviction on the part of it's
promoters that the United States would
not interfere to prevent its consumma-
ton. The object was the securing of
the immense bride of $40, 000, 200, to-
prosecution Of the canal. The price
paid by US was the reputation of our
solemn treaty obligations, and our dis
grace as judged by international law.
Neither party to the infamous transact
ton regarded these matters as serious,
and both will have to pay the inevita
bic penalty Of wrongdoing
The punishment of Panama has fallen
swiftly. She, as well as the United
States of Colombia, has been judicious-
Iy gold-bricked by the administration
of the, United States. She got her
money, but she cannot live on it for
ever. The republic Of Panama is alb
solutely helpless and must forever re-
main either a pauper dependent for
daily support upon cur treasury, or
actually surrender it's nominal inde-
pendence to- us and become another CO.
1onial province.
What the punishment of the United
States will be does not yet appear, but
we may be quite certain that rod is
in pickle somewhere. We shall suffer
the inevitable consequences Of falling
away from republican institutions, I'M
less the people determine, as we be-
lieve they will at the coming election,
to repudiates the author of this whole
Panama iniquity, and without relin-
gushing or interfering with the prose-
cution of the canal itself, decide that
repentance and such reparation as can
now be made is their part.

CONTEMPLATE BUSINESS

1t is curious fact, worthy some at
tention by the sociologists, that
watchers of current events who are
both intelligent. ard candid in the
low the lowest level of partisanship
when the political fire begins to blaze.
There are newspapers, for instance,
that would scorn to misrepresent, or
to falsify everyday news Their COM
ments are not without a certain adj
mirable color of independence occa-
sionally. Yet they will do meaner and
more contemplate things from a party
standpoint than the yellowest of their
neighbors. 1t is something of the
same phenomenon that one observes in
Sex, where the woman who falls sinks
lower than the most degraded man
will descend.
By way of illustration, the press of
the country was practically unani-
nous in its outburst of admiration and
applause of Judge Parkers splendid
and heroic act 1t was such an exhi-
bition of American manhood as for
the instant threw into shade all minor
and meaner feelings. Within twenty
four hours the ranker partisans be-
gan to consider whether this had not
made him a dangerous competitor
Within a week it was decided in the
middle and lower circles of the parti-
san inferno that it had, and that de-
traction must accordingly take it's
usual course. Hence we find a lot Of
apocryphal stories being invented
which are now doing duty in the COL
umns of that very section of the Re-
publican press to which we have al
luded.
All the reports show that Judge
Parker waited quietly in his country
home the results of the convention.
The platform adopted on Friday did
not reach him until Saturday morning,
when the newspapers carried it, BY
-
that time he was already nominated
Even had he been thoroughly advised
of the details of the conventions ac-
ton before that, he could not have act
ed before his name had even been
presented to it as a candidate. The
news reached him in the early morn
ing as he was preparing for his usual
morning ride on horseback. He rode
away, thought the matter over in the
solitude of the morning hour, came
straight back to the telegraph office
and sent his fateful and historic mes
sage. That is the whole simple and
honorable story.
Now the dirty scribes of the party
are throwing a lot of additions into the
text. They are telling us that Judge
Parker knew all about the platform
on Friday, and that the convention
expected word from him, but he kent
silence. They tell us that he would
have done nothing had not the ont
burst of the New York newspapers on
Saturday convinced him of danger.
Most despicable falsity of all is that
talk about an emissary having been
sent by August Belmont to consult
with Judge Parker. of which so far
as we know there is no scintilla of
evidence.
All these non-existent conditions
and circumstances are invented by the
coarse and venal party hack for party
use. and are then circulated and re-
peated by men quite respectable in
their private characters and quite de-
