Cuba.

The Cubans take after" us in so many
things we should feel encouraged as to
their future. Saturday night in Havana
the admirers of Gen. Gomez gathered at his
residence and he was introduced as Our
next President" The speaker could get no
further for several minutes. AS the Ameri-
can phrase is, s'the meeting went Wild
and the hero of the occasion was visibly
affected. This was truly American. The
only feature distinctly Cuban was the .'em-
bracing' by Gen. Gomez of his friends one
by one as they filed by. Mr.. Cannon would
have clasped hands and said Come now,
boys. no kidding Judge Taft would have
smiled. while Mr.. Fairbanks would have
made a gesture of cordial doubt about the
future. The Gomez manner was to the
manner born. and it doubtless reached the
spot. Give the Cubans a chance. They are
doing their little best.

On the Venezuelan Boundary.

There is absolutely no occasion for alarm
or concern in the trespass of British force
upon Venezuelan territory. Even without
the assurance contained in the dispatch
from London to the effect that the foreign
office attributes the affair to the overzeal-
BUSINESS of British officer and that steps
will be at once taken to adjust the matter
automatically the incident could not pos
sibly grow into serious proportions unless
one side or the other plunged into war with
out excuse. For the principle of territorial
immunity in that section of the world was
firmly established twelve years ago. when
President Cleveland wrote his celebra ted
message on the Venezuelan boundary oues-
ton. leading later to the reference of the
question 10 court to determine the rights
of the two governments. The actual work
OF delimiting the boundary has been under
way for some years and is practically fin
ished. Unless one government or the other
violates the established doctrine and deub-
erately invites war the foolish conduct of
the representatives of the ne:ghbors can
not precipitate serious friction.

Progress on the Isthmus.

Little has been heard of the work a,
Panama lately. There have been no sensa-
tions there, no scandals have been uncov-
cred and few reports of the progress of the
work have been printed. If one were tC
Judge by the lack of types bearing on the
subject II might appear as though the work
had stopped absolutely. But in this case
the country Is learning that in verify the
less said about Panama the better. There
has been altogether too much talk. too much
exploitation. The time has come to get
down to hard work. and judging from an
official report lately received. that is pre-
cisely what the officers now in charge are
doing
COL Goethais. chairman of the commits
sion and engineer in charge of the canal
construction work. urges upon the War De
partment the necessity of asking Congress
early in the session next December for IA de-
fciency appropriation 10 permit the prosecu-
tion of the work at the Gatun dam. This
is one of the most hopeful signs yet noted
In connection with the canal construction
for this deficiency appropriate if made

inal estimates of cost. but the accomplish
ment OF more work than was originally
contemplated. In short. admirably have
the preparations for the actual construction
work been planned and executed that 1t is
now possible 10 dig dirt and blast rocks
and mix concrete more rapidly than was
considered possible when the years appro-
priations were made
This sort OF deficiency estimate should be
heartily welcomed at the Capitol. 1t should
be encouraged by prompt response The
American people will indorse nberality in
the matter of providing the funds for doing
the necessary work OF digging the canal and
building the dams. They want results IN

thoroughness and reliability OF construc.

passes At the risk of war. this government
firmly interposed a hand to stay the boun-
dary mover, the territory claimant, the in
vader. Had the United States done nothing
in 1895 to check Great Britain there would
today be no security whatever for any or
the republics berdered by European pow
ers. The manner in which Venezuela has
requited this act of righteous intervention
is notorious For a time that government
appeared to be grateful. but for several
years the relations of the administration
at Caracas and that at Washington have
been marked by friction. caused invariably
by the suspicious, dictatoral. unreasonable

Taft at Columbus.

The value of Secretary TaftS speech at
Columbus rests upon the fact that if he Is
his partys candidate for President next
year it will constitute the platform upon
which he will stand. Phrases may be
carefully trimmed and nice distinctions
drawn by the platform committee of the
national convention. but all democratic
newspapers and spellbinders will try the
republican nominee by what he has himself
said Mr.. Bryan's case is Identical He
too if he runs will be tried by his opinions
formally expressed. Republican news
papers and spellbinders will try him by
what he has said respecting public policies
Taft for President therefore means tariff
revision on protection lines Immediately
after the election. probably at a special
session of the Sixtyfirst Congress. And
that will mean a decision both as to an
inheritance tax and income tax. No
retreat but rather an advance. on the
quest ion of the restraint of trusts and the
regulation of railroad traffic. The lawless
rich and the lawless poor alike to answer
for transgresSions. A full exercise of fed
eral power without infringing on the rights
of the states.
Judge Taft declines to discuss the Browns
Vile matter at this time. for the reason
that 1t is the subject of official investiga-
ton. But that invest igatiOn will close be-
fore Congress meets, and report re-
ports be presented to that body for action.
Brownsville in this way will enter into next
years equation. If the Presidents dis
miSsal of the Colored troops without a trial
Is ind0rsed by Congress the party in the
campaign must accept the issue in that
form. If in the report and the debate on
II some sort of sop is thrown to the Colored
voters for use In the states where their
votes are counted. then the critics of both
will have scored
This speech Is in the nature of reply to
speeches Senator Foraker has been making
at home since Congress adjourned. He and
Judge Taft wide apart. The one is a
standpatter the other revisionst. The
one holds that the Elkins law alone would
have solved the railroad question. and is to
be accredited with all that has been done to
remedy abuses. and lat the law enacted
at the Presidents suggestion is uncOnstitu-
tional; the other holds that without the
later law the Elkns law would have failed
of the larger purposes sought. The one is
the champion of the dismissed cOored SOL
ders the other has concurred in the Presi-
dents action.
Naturally Judge Taft eulogizes his chief.
They have worked together and will con-
tinue to do so. But If he enters the White
House. the Ohio man is so much of an in
dividual in his own right that Taft policies
will soon have to be reckoned with.

No we are not headed for smash. The

the worst of which could not ruin us. Sound

The Canteen and the Soldier.

The absurdity of the anti-canteen legisla-
ton of several years ago. which caused the
closing of the army post establishments for
the sale of beer and light wines to soldiers,
is frequently attested in the official reports.
which disclose a dsgraceful state of affairs
in the immediate vicinity of practically
every military station in this country. The
annual report of the acting judge advocate
general of the army. just submitted, dwells
upon this situation. and points afresh to the
evil of closing the canteens without follow
ing the act with the prohibition of saloons
within a certain radius. Having driven out
the canteen. the government has done moth
ing to prevent the sale of liquor to soldiers.
The result is demoralizing condition i'm
mediately at hand at every army post, with
a consequent effect upon the morale OF the
service and an increase in the difficulty of
maintaining discipline and keeping the
ranks filed.
The canteen itself was not a menace to
the soldiers. but a practical method of
mainta ming temperance principles. Under
that system the men were seldom intoxi-
Gated, and their drinking was almost al
ways under the observation of their OFF,
GERS. EXcesses were virtually impossible.
The moment the canteen was in effect

! though indorsed by the highest military au-
thoTities. An unreasoning prejudice has
been established which. for political rea-
sons. cannot easily be overcome. And yet
the petitions of the army officers charged
with the duty of maintaining discipline for
legislation which will drive the groggeries
and dives a mile or beyond the bound
aries of the reservations, in order to lessen
the evils of the anti-canteen law, have been
also ignored by the legislators If the enc
mics of the canteen are earnestly desirous of
keeping liquor from the soldiers they should
heartily indorse the recommends ton to es-
tablsh a zone of prohibition around each
