COMMITTEE TO VISIT CANAL
Members Sail Thursday for the
Isthmus of Panama.
By Personal Observation They Ex-
pect TO Learn the Amount of
Money Necessary.

Representative James A. Tawney. OF
Minnesota, who will succeed himself as
chairman of the House Committee on
Appropriations was in Washington last
night preparing TO go to work upon the
big supply bills Of the first session Of
the Sixuoth Congress. The most impor-
tant item now before the committee is
the appropriations for the Panama Canal,
and In order that the members Of the
committee may famuarize themselves
with canal expenditures they sail next
Thursday from New York for the Canal
Zone
There they will talk with the men who
are actually doing the work and see ex-
actly how the money is being spent. The
bureaus Of supply. labor, and consruc-
ton Will be looked into as far as the
committee is able. and a busy ten days
viii be spent on the isthmus.
The expenditures 20 date on the Pan
ANA Canal total the huge sum Of $l29,
SOS, ,56S5S. OF this amount $27000,o00 was
made available by the last Congress It
was the expectancy that this would last
until July /. 1903. but Il is now under
stood by the Committee on Appropria-
tIons members that 100000 additional
will be required, and this amount will be
carried by an urgent deficiency measure,
which will pass the House and Senate
early In January. This will be followed
later in the session by the sundry civil
bill, which may carry as much as S35,
100000 for the expenses during the fiscal
year beginning July / The original canal
act authorized an expenditure of SS5,-
O00 600, hence this amount viii be nearly
exhausted after the appropriations for
the next fiscal year are placed in the
hands OF the commission.
Members of the committee, Of course,
realize that the plans for widening the
canal VIII cause a proporuOnately in
creased expenditure, and, IN fact Il IS
predicted that while It may not come at
the next session, it Is only a matter of
time before Congress viii again have 10
pass upon the question of a sea-leYel
canal
The trip Of the members to the isthmus
is made at the suggestion Of Secretary
Taft. who believes 1t advisable that they
personally look into the situation. or
the seventeen members who composed
the committee in the last Congress. hf-
teen were reelected, and q majority Of
them are expected to sail with Mr. Taw-
ney, the chairman

Steward ship is not ownership, was
gram in Trinity church, New York.
That church is at the head of Wall
Street, and most of the Bishops audi
tors were from Wall Street. In law,
the Bishop was little mixed. There
is in law a vast differen ce between
stewardship and ownership; but in
morals he was right. Private property
is the result of the social compact. 1t
artificial 1t is not q matter of relis ion
or morality, but of compact. Yet all
solemn and general compacts must be
respected. Good faith requires this
But bad faith ON the part of the hold
er, or owner, of private property is,
and always has been, ground Of for
fixture. Bad faith is treason TO the pub
lie. What the good Bishop meant was
that ownership being matter Of COM
pact, amounted virtually TO steward
ship-to the rightful use of private
property for the benefit Of the com
munity. property is like gun, WHEN
used in self defense only, its use is law
full and just. But whe used &c destroy
his neighbor as a means Of seif-aggran-
dizament or mere revenge, such use 5
criminal; and IN that case forfeiture S
the only remedy. This is the old doe
