The democrats will be intensely dis

plies for Panama has suddenly failed
them, thanks to the Intervention OF
Speaker Cannon. Our friends the, en-
envy took far too much for granted, a
habit that has wrecked their hopes so
often that 1t is strange they continue
to fall victim to 1t 50 readily. The

might have been foreseen, will be re-

body is amply large enough for the
proper settlement OF public questions
as they arise for legislative action.
Speaker Cannon's wise judgment and
advice have frequently been of timely
service to the country. The democratic
assumption in the whole incident was
hasty and exaggerated. and now that
the subject is closed the free-trade par
ty will have to reconcile itself to facts
as best It can.-St. Louis Globe Demo
