THE PANAMA CANAL,

The government has decided t, turn
over tho building Of the Panama canal
to a private company headed by the
noted contractors, John r. Mcdonald,
the builder OF the New York subway,
This action will hardly be pleasing to
the advocates OF government owner
ship. Evidently those now interested
in the construction Of the canal and
responsible for the great work feel that
the work can hotter be done by a pri-
vate concern than by the United States
government. We think the President
is right. The history of government
work in the past gives no hope that

The scheme Of tunneling under the
English channel. though suggested in
the time OF Napoleon Bonaparte more
than century ago, is again brought
to mind by u bill introduced in the
British parliament for sanctioning the
project, says the Salt Lake Intermoun-
tain Catholic. Along about 1875 or
1876 the British and French govern
ments began the construction OF q
tunnel to connect the two countries,
but the work was abandoned after a
little more than mile had been built.
The estimated cost of the tunnel is
s0,000.000. and ten years would he re-
uuired to finish it if the scheme is at
tempted again. The obvious advan-
tage OF tunnel are saving of time
between England and the continent, the
doing away With changes from railroad
to boat and the ever-present seasick-
ness on the channel. There can be no
doubt that travel and intercourse be-
tween Great Britain and the continent

would be increased to mutual advan-
tage, and a better understanding would
decrease the likelihood of war between
the different countries.

Mr.. James Bryce is on his way from
Dublin Castle to the United States,
says the New York Irish-An1erican IL.
He leaves Dublic Castle still standing
and the Union Jack still flying over it.
The outer fortifications have been
captured by the Irish people: its walls
are undermined, and the whole struc-
ture is a tottering ruin. But the struc-
ture Of Protestant Ascendency in Ire
land still stands, and while it stands,
1rishnen will hold their arms, and will
man their guns. The people of 1re~
land know that it the desire Of the
British government to secure q treaty
with the United States. And they
know that it is within their power,
through their kin in America, to pre-
vent the completion of such q treaty.
The people here whether they be Re-
publicans or Democrats, are soldly
united in their support of Ireland's de-
nland for Home Rule, and, unless the
British government be prepared to
grant, and does grant, Il measure Of
to Ireland, there can
be no comfy between England and the
people here.

Hints to Nervous. Women.

There are so many things a neuras.
thenic woman can do which will miti-
gate the severity Of her symptoms,
and perhaps, il the disease is slight,
she may recover without the interven-
tion of her physician, says DR.. Graen,e
Hammond in Harpers Bazar In the
first place, the original trouble, worry
or anxiety which was held responsible
for her nervous break down must be
done away with, or, if this is impossi-
BILE, she must school herself not to
care, or else remove herself to new
scenes and surroundings whdre her
mind will not be harassed. Peace of
mind will do more to restore shattered
nerves than almost anything else.
The next thing is to make the bod
lily health as good as it can be made
under the existing circumstances and
surroundings. Sleep and rest are alb
solutely essential to recovery, and
the sufferer should do all she can to
oSSOIG UULu. NdICOLlCS, 10 produce
sleep, are not to be thought Of. They
do not cure anything, an dtheir con-
tinual use can only be productive Of
harm. Tranquilize the mind, banisl,

and sleep alone rather than with
some one else whose restlessness or

snoring, might we'll Danish sleep from

Sometimes a warm foot-bath before
bed, or eating slice Of bread and
butter, or drinking a glass of milk
will bring sleep. to the tired eyes. IT,
however, these means are inadequate
it is better to consult a physician
Normal sleep, and plenty of it, must
be secured before recovery becomes
possible.

MEDICAL EXPERTS,

The newspaper reading public is
laughing at the discontinue of a
medical expert in the Thaw trial.
Every city has a number of medical
gentlemen whom it is we'll known are
ever ready to testify as experts In
courts Of law. The quality of their
testimony depends largely upon tho
fee they receive for testlfying. This
opinion evidence can always be mold
eel to suit the needs of the one pay
ing the fec. The principal asset Of
most of these" medical experts is a
vocabulary Of long words, which are
thrown at the counsel and jury With
such a facility and serious counten-
ance that it is often mistaken for
knowledge. Ill MIR. jerome one OF our
medical friends met an expert on med
ical iargon. Mr.. jerome had evidently
borrowed a. medical dictionary and
possibly n work on anatomy and /.
medical photography from some old
college chum and spent a night or two
between acts at the thea,er IN reading
up. AS result he made one gentle
man the laughing stock Of the whole
country.
We have long felt that the lcst,-
mony OF medical experts. so-called, as
it Is produced III our courts is Il grcal
farce. The knowledge OF a great many
of these men is extremely superficial
and it would seem that there is an un,
usually largo proportion of them not
overburdened with acute consciences

pills to q patient will not hesitate ON

THE CONGO CASE.

The effort to draw the United States

failure. 1t is extremely doubtful if
the Senate will pass, this season, any
such resolution AS that proposed by
Senator Lodge. urging the President to
interfere for the benefit Of the un>
fortunate Inhabitants Of the Congo
Free State.
The matter has taken on the aspect
of a religious quarrel. The Senate at
first was flooded with petitions re-
citing cases by Protestant mission
aries, showing horrible atrocities prac-
ticed upon the natives. Later these
petitions We're met by others from
Frcnci, German and Belgian mission
aries. which showed matters in All en-
tirely different light. 1t seems tina!

Frederick w. Bancroft, the lecturer
and singer, is not an Irishman. He is
a Vermonter, and if there is any Irish
strain in him it is very remote. But
he knows, better than some who were
born in Ireland seem to know, that the
"stage Irishman' is an abomination,
says the Sacred Heart Review. Speak
ing on Irish Songs and Song Writer'S
before the Brockton Woman's Club, the
other day, Mr.. Bancroft said: "a typi-
cal Irish song, like a typical Irish char
acter, is always misrepresented on the
stage. Both, according to the stage,
are always common and often vulgar.
In reality the Irish song is beautiful
in sentiment, transcendent in ianagina-
ton, graceful in movement, and the
typical Irishn1an is man Of fine liter
ary and lyric instinct, progressive
ideals, magnificent intellect, and fash
ing wit. The comic song we always
hear In the theater as an Irish song is
not an Irish song from any viewpoint.
There is not the least bit of Irish
about it, and those who give or accept
1t as such display lamentable tgnor-
ance. This song is not to be at all
compared to the real Irish song and,
indeed. very few Of our latter day
songs, comic or otherwise, are to be
compared to it,
