Bull Fighting and Brutality.

1t is gratifying TO read In the dispatches
that the American and English delegates to
the Moroccan conference at Algeciras were
day in that city in honor of the representa-
tives OF the powers now considering the
fate OF the sultan over the sea. The prep
arations for this event We're on an elab-
crate scale. Everything was done to give
the fight official eclat. The bulls were care
fully selected for their fighting qualities
and the matadors who participated were
among the most famous in Spain The best
bull of the lot was tremendously dedi-
Gated to the Duke of Almodovar, the pre-
siding officer of the conference, before it
was allowed to gore two blindfolded horses
to death and was then given the coup de
grace by a graceful professional swords
man Another bull killed five blinded
horses. The whole affair was successfully
bloody and was wildly applauded The dis
patch describing 1t says:
1.-The foreigners present witnessed the
scene with mingled admiration of the au-
dacity of the matadors and horror at the
cruel spectacle
II is a matter of congratulation that the
representatives OF the United States and
Great Britain, which have always disap-
proved of bull fighting. were not required
thus to mix their emotions. Yet there is
little ground for sincere pleasure. The
question might be asked whether if the
Moroccan conference We're held In this
country We might not entertain the dele

The Senate and the Canal.

Several weeks ago The Star suggested
that the Senate canal committee should
send a subcommittee of its members to
investigate conditions on the isthmus or
Panama along the line of our work there,
and that maybe Secretary Taft could be
induced to accompany the party. We are
hearing something on this subject now,
and we ought to hear more. No better step
could be taken so far as either the Senate
or the country is concerned. Both want the
truth and need the truth. The response
bility on the isthmus Is not alone on the
administration, nor on the Senate. but on
both. and on both parties. We are all in
volved. Neither party wants to see fail
ure scored, for failure would be dsas-
trous to the reputation of the country. For
this reason every effort should be made by
the Senate now that 1t has taken the mat
ter up, to inform itself thoroughly: and
then 1t should give the country the benefit
of the Information gathered.
As pitiable as was his plight at the close
'of the episode, Poultney Bigelow, by his
eapers, performed a public service. He
pushed criticism of the canal beyond the
verge of fair dealing, and silenced some
other guns that had been laundering at long
range. The public saw that he had. been
stunned Tor MS performance, and when II
laughed at him it laughed also at the other
longrange marksmen. Naturally therefore
there is no encouragement for any more of
such warfare What we all want now is the
truth, from the one side as the other, and
not mere guesses or inventions, no matter
how entertainingly presented.
The members of the Senate committee
are, it is true, neither engineers nor SAM
tarians. But it is not necessary that they
should be either. Their visit would not
be for the purpose of deciding as between
a sea-level or a lock canal, or of urging
any particular method of sanitation, but
only 10 take intelligent layman's look
around, and appraise the general situation
as 1t appears on the face of things and as
explained by officials having matters in
charge. They would certainly be bene-
flied by the visit and should return better
prepared than before to legislate on the
subject.
Playing politics with the canal would in
the end ruin the men attempting it, and
the disposition to do that in certain quar-
tiers should go no further.
