PROGRESS AT PANAMA

The announcement is made by our contempo-
rarv The Canal Record that there are no more
jobs awaiting men at Panama. On the contrary,
tha supply of labor exceeds the demand. A con-
siderable reduction of the canal force has been
made and still more may be necessary. Many
men have left the isthmus and others remain
there out of work and ready to take any places
which may happen to become vacant. IL is
therefore foolish for anybody to go thither in
expectation Of getting profitable employment.
unless specifically engaged in advance by the
officers Of the Canal Commission In this country.
This is gratifying, not, Of course, because 1t
closes the doors Of opportunity to labor1ng men,
but because it Indicates much progress on the
canal and its appurtenant works For this re-
duction of employees is not in laborers at canal
excavation but IN carpenters engineers, mechan-
les and clerks who have been engaged in munlc-
ipal improvements, erection Of buildings and
other occupations OF that kind. The present in
dlcation is therefore, that the needed hotels and
other buildings have been erected, the streets
have been paved, water and sewer systems have
been constructed and other tasks related to the
canal enterprise, but not directly involving the
excavation Of the prism, have been disposed Of
There remains chiefly the actual digging Of
the canal. and that is, have hitherto
shown, making far more rapid progress than was
ever expected
The reduction or force VIII nlehn pfOpOFllOH
ately larger reduction of expenses. since the
men whose work is thus finished have received
higher wages than the rank and file Of labOrers
on excavation. But ii will mean no abatement
of progress on the canal. Indeed, we may expect
TO see some Improvement upon even the present
unexampled rate of excavation since the san
itary conditions are being much bettered as
materially to lessen the sick list and the cOnse-
auent impairment of efficiency Of the working
force. Colonel GOrgas reports d steadily de
creasing death rate and sick rate, not only
among the white employees but also and even
more notably among the negroes so that now
the rates among the latter little higher than
among the fOrmer-a result both gratifying and
surprising.
On the whole the isthmian enterprise Is pro
ceeding in satisfactory manner, and there is
reason to expect that before many new battle
ships are added to navy ii will become I'M
necessary for vessel or Il fleet to travel around
the South American Continent in order to get
from the eastern To the western coast of the
United States.

EXCISE tUENDUENT.S

The recently initiated campaign of distlllers
and brewers for the elimination of undesirable
saloons and a general Stiffcning of license re
Quirements seems already 10 have Influenced
the State Excise Department. This influence
Is slight in comparison with that which the re
formers aspire 10 exert but perhaps il is alt
the better on that account; for the thorough
going improvements sought by the Model License
League could not be won al a single effort in

purging OF the present saloon system should be
easy; and The Assembly Committee Oh Excise
which is urging them in the Whitney bill has
right To hope for The approval OF * chief
recommendations
Most important are the proposed changes in
the provisions governing the issuing Of licenses
the separation Of saloons from gambling houses
and the exclusion Of minors from saloons The
effect Of the first mentioned amendment would
be TO increase the responsibility Of sureties and
thereby 10 compel more scrupulous regard for
the law on the part OF licensees. The informa-
ton eXacted of applicants j. TO be much more
