4 PIONEER AT PANAMA.

II is bit of the pr0verbial irony of fate that
man whose activities once and for some years
commanded the keenest interest OF the diplO-
matte and technical worlds should go to his
grave with only few lines of perfunctory
notice in the news Of the day. Yet that has
this week been the lot of the man who in a
sense above all others blazed the way for the
Panama Canal who provoked the controversy
between America and France over that under
taking. who brought Lesseps TO the isthmus
and opened the way for the colossal dGbdcIe
of "Panamaism," and who thus unintentionally
but not altogether indirectly, foreshadOwed the
American assumption of the enterprise which
had been pending since the days of fernando
CorteZ. If Saavedra Ceron was the first pro-
moter of the Panama Canal in earliest times, 1t
would not be easy to name any one better
titled to that distinction in our own day than
Lucien Napoleon Bonaparte Wyse.
1t may be that heredity directed him into the
courses in which he won distinction. He was
the grandson of Lucien Bonaparte, the best of
the brothers of the great Napoleon. and in
herited a marked measure Of his temperament
and ability. He was also reputed TO be the son
of Sir Thomas Wyse, the eminent statesman
and diplomat who stood second to O'ConnelI
among the "Liberators' of Ireland, though con-
cernng his paternity the available records are
not clear Sir Thomas Wyse is supposed TO
Letitia BonapaTte in 1928. while Lucien Wyse
was not born until 1S45 Lucien and. his sister,
who married the Italian statesman and col
league of Cavour Urbino Rattazzi, were both
gifted with adventurous dispositions and with
exceptional abilities. As a lieutenant in the
French navy Lucien distinguished himself early
in life by his explorations In and writings con-
cerning Chill. Argentina, Patagonia and the
Strait Of Magellan. Then, in 1876 he became
interested in Panama.
The explorer and promoter GogorZa had then
recently reported that he had solved the 'se-
cret of the strait by discovering and travers
ing a natural waterway across the Daren
isthnus and had secured from the Colombian
government concession for developing it into
a canal At this project company of "Old
Imperialists' in France. dreaming of a Bona
partist restoration through some great achieve
mept. grasped with avidty possible means
Of attaining their ends. Foremost among them
were Lucien Wyse, his brotherin-law, General
| Etienne Turr, the Hungarian chieftain; Ar
mand Reclus brother of Elisee Paul and the
| others. and Ferdinand Lesseps. Wyse went to
| Darien and found Gogorzas ''strat" to- be non
| existent, but then proceeded TO Bogota secured
| a concession for canal at Panama, defeated at
| Nicaragua bill giving a concession there tG a

4 POPULAR CONMITTEE.

The Committee of One Hundred obviously
differs from It's historic predecessors. the Com
mittee of Seventy and the Citizens Union 1t
had its inception in turbulent popular meet
ing and it is correspondingly democratic In
character. Few of the names upon it are IA
nliliar 10 the financial world, though enough OF
them perhaps TO assure a sufficient war chest.
But the great majority are drawn from those
who are in closer touch with the ordinary voter
than has been usual with reform organizations
Theoretically. at least. a mistake has been
avoided in this respect. The committee as con-
stituted leaves no opportunity for Tammany or
Mr. Hearst If he is also in the opposition, 10
appeal to class prejudice against it. 1t should
be able to pitch its campaign so as TO reach the
public ear and TO present issues in which the
people are Interested and if its efforts, in con-
junction with those of other citizens. result in
the election of an anti-Tammany administra
ton. that administration will not he out of
svmpathv with the ma sses of the voters as soon
TO become unpopular.
The truth is that an anti-Tammany movement
must spring from the people themselves in order
TO possess a full measure Of vitality. 1t should
not merely be promoted by number Of wealthy
merchants bankers. lawyers and members Of the
Chamber of Commerce, but should come into eX-
istenCe because the ordinary rent payer, clerk,
small tradesman and workingman have their
own reasons for seeking something better than
a Tammany administration. They are the ma
jority. An anti-Tammany movement 10 be per
manent must reflect their desires and senti-
ments and anti-Tammany administration
10 bee successful must understand and sympa-
thize with their point Of view. II is step in
the right direction to make the new Committee
Of One Hundred more popular in character than
its predecessors were To what extent this
change signifies a change in the character Of the
antiTammany movement the progress of the
campaign alone will show. But it means
much for New York if non-p -partsanshp in
municipal affairs. or good government, what
ever you please 10 call it, instead of being
occasional interest Of the wealthy and the fad
of the political dilettante is 10 be taken up in
earnest by the ey yery-day citizen.

4 POLITIcAL RALNROW-

In the last Presidential campaign Mr. Bryan
tried 70 pose as the true heir of the Roosevelt
policies Nr Roosevelt who ought 70 have
known who his own heir was. denied that he
had ever made or thought Of making will in
Nr Bryan's favor. and the voters Of the coun-
try rudely disposed Of the testamentary claims
OF the Nebraska pretender. Now our former
neighbor. The New York Times seems to
want TO make Mr.. Bryan the heir of the Taft
policies II suggested yesterday that certain
Republican states in which the pressure for a
downward revision Of the tariff has been strong
might he 50 disappointed over the restora ton
OF duties IN the Senate bill-assuming that
those restorations are 10 stand and not be sur
rendered in large part in conference.-the they
would desert the Republican party for the
Democratic and wipe out the Republican
psrty's majority in the last Electoral College.
Here is the wonderful political rainbow which
our esteemed contemporary descries:
Mr. Taft had 526 electoral votes 70 Mr Bryan's
157. z ma sorty OF 169. ratio of more than two

states named. what would become Of the Repub-
lcan superiority;
Republican superiority would naturally van

the tower Of the Times" building should be
fulfilled In the first place, Mr.. Taft did not
have a two-thirds majority in the Electoral

New-York tribune., 1909-06-18

instead of Republican leadership Mr. Bryan
would be justified in taking a fourth nomina-
ton for the Presidency in 1912
Yet we can discover no theory of cause and
effect in politics which encourages the belier
that any state in the Union will be moved, IN
view of current exhibitions of Democratic
incapacity for leadership on the tariff issue, 10
prefer Democratic ascendency to republican
The Republican party has committed itself to
a definite and positive theory of tariff taxation
The rule laid down in the last national plat
form. that the protection given to the domestic
producer ought to offset the differenual in cost
of production here ana abroad and allow ID al
dition a reasonable margin of profit, Is souhu

bill is expected to furnish a means of compos-
inc such differences in the future perma-
nent tariff commission is to be created 20 col
lect complete data and thus enable Congress to
apply the Republican theory of protection equl-
tably and accurately The Republican party
will then be in a position to give the country
a rational and scientific tariff.
But what is to be expected from the Demo

and the Senate have defied and denounced the
last Democratic national platform. They re-
fuse 10 be bound by it either in matters OF
theory or in matters Of detail They cannot
agree among themselves any principle OF
tariff taxation. Some are for high protection.
some for moderate protection and some for IN
cidentaI protection: but most of them are for
all the protection possible for the industries OF
their own states or districts. regardless OF the
relevancy of such protection judged from the
point of view OF national interests. There are
also still few Democrats in public life VINO
advocate no protection or as little protection

shipping and took several prisoners, and Oh
Carrickfergus fought and captured the cons1d-
erably superior British warship Drake, the first
British warshp TO be beaten and taken in Brit
ish waters by an American. The Ranger was
afterward commanded by Captain Simpson. IN
John B. Hopkins's squadron, and did splendid
service, though she was described by Jones as
crank slow and of trifiing force" From her
Jones went TO the Due de Duras, better known
as the Bonhomme Richard, and achieved I'M
mortal fame at Marlborough Head. But IL
was with the little Ranger that he first made
the Stars and Stripes the flag of a maritime
power and made his own name terror TO the
shipping and the coasts of Great Britain
Down to Marlborough Head the Ranger was
decidedly the most noteworthy vessel In the
American navy, and indeed she must always
be a close second to the BOnhomme Richard
for supreme distinction In our Revolutionary
War If the log Of that vessel has indeed been
discovered 1t must be priced as one of the rlch-
est treasures Of our early naval annals. For
while it is presumably not complete since the
final log was lost when the vessel was capt
ured or destroyed by the British. the portion
now discovered apparently covers the period OF
Jones's command and therefore of the ch1er
achievements of the historic ship.

WAGES AND PRICES.

The announcement that on July / the New
Haven Railroad will resume paying the wages
and salaries cut , and 10 per cent a year ago
calls to mind how promptly and extensively wage
restoration has taken place The independent
steel companies have restored wages cut few
months ago The Boston & Maine Railroad has
Also resumed It's ante-panlc schedule In the
South railways are said TO be paying old rates
again Elsewhere there We're few or no reduc-
tions in she pay of skilled and organized labor
SO that this class Of workingmen generally are
receiving the wages Of the recent period OF pros
perity Unskilled labor and the operatives Of
certain factories are now getting lower pay, but
that is about the only mark the panic has eft
on wages.
The slight effect ii had the rate Of wages
has been popularity Of this panic due per
haps TO unusual promptness Of recovery which
in turn. has been helped on by the absence Of
complications in regard to the currency or fail
ure of crops. One consequence will be that
business will enter upon a period of growth
and expansion with labor receiving top wages at
the beginning In such periads wages are stead
lily advanced under the plea that labor should
enjoy its share OF the country's increasing pros
perity. If that is done this time. wages, instead
Of getting slowly back to the point they had
reached under previous good conditions and then
gradually passing that point, will advance with
out a recession, and if a boom period like 1906
comes again they Will undoubtedly attain phe-
nomenal level. Commodity prices have behav
somewhat similarly Slightly more elastic than
ages they have in the aggregate shown more
effect from the panic but they, too, near the
top. If nothing UntOward happens the coming
years promise to be years of phenomenally high
wages and prices.
