That the Democratic party has bright

Though defeated in recent Presidential
elections. the Democratic party Is vic
torious in many things even now. There
has not been a year since popular atten-
ton was diverted from questions OF home
politics by the Spanish war that the Re

An Unaccepted Carnegie OfIer.

Probably most Washingtonians have
forgotten that several years ago Mr..
Carnegie offered 10 give ss5o000 for the
construction Of branch library buildings

not yet been accepted. and IN their annual

Mr. Rainer,s Panama Speech.

The most interesting portion OF Mr.
Rsney's Panama speech relates 10 Amer
lean schemes for the exploitation OF the
timber resources Of the isthmisn re-
public. One OF these schemes includes the
construction Of a railroad by means OF
an issue Of bonds. the interest on xhich
is TO be a liability on the Panamsn rev
enues from invested capital, or from an
nual payments made by The United
States as rental for the Canal
Zone Mr. Rainey regards this pro-
Jet as aimed at the conhscation of
the entire revenue of the republic. which
now amounts 10 only a few thousand dol
lars more than the liability sought to be
imposed on it. As the United States
government has nothing to do with the
grants sought by money-making Ameri-
cans from the Panamsn government. it
might be said that We have no authority
10 protect the republic from exploitation.
but Mr. Rainey considers it the duty
Of this government TO interfere 10 save
Panama from the possible consequences
Of its own acts. 1t would be an unhappy
day for that weakling country if its en-
tire revenue should be mortgaged 10

Mr. Rainey eoneeives William Nelson
Cromwell to be at the bottom Of these
schemes. and. indeed, 10 be the evil genius

Under the guidance Of a firm and intel
Iigent executive, the state OF California
appears likely TO avoid the dangerous
legislation inspired by anti-Japanese agi-
tators. It is now probable that the only
one Of the proposed measures that VIII
become law is that restricting the right
of aliens TO own land As originally word
ed. this measure applied 70 japanese and
Chinese only. a manifest discrimination
that the japanese would have properly
resented At Mr. Roots suggestion, a
modification has been effected n the bin
making il applicable 10 all aliens, and
in this form it is without legal objection
There is similar legislation in several
States. and japan herself forbds alien
ownership Of land. although We under
stand a foreigner in Japan may obtain

ming for an indefinite term Of years In
der such a title an alien acquires all sur

fer. but he gains no right 10 subsurface
deposits OF stone or minerals. nor can he
obtain title in fee simple The proposed
California law would give aliens subst8n-
tally the same rights as are enjoyed by
American citizens in Japan. and 50
would not be obnoxious to the terms OF
our treaty with that nation
Whether even this legislation IS ex-
pedient or necessary IS question re-
specting which there may be differences

think that the japanese viii soon own

in the immediate neighborhoOd concerned
in this story gave scant attention 70 the
preliminary depredauOns in point. It was
only when they discovered in amazement
that the entire structure had vanished
that they begin TO sit up and take notice.
Careful search has been made for miles
around. Other houses have been in
spected: barns. fences. and what not
have been diligently scrutinized for sus-
picious looking additions. Even lumber
yards and planning mills have come in
for a share Of attention and polite inves-
tigation. Nevertheless and notwithstand-
