II is expected that between $780,
100000 and S5O.OOO,OOO Panama ca
nal construction bonds may be issued
soon as a result of the action Of con-
gress in directing that these bonds,
whose issue is permitted under the
tariff act of August, 1909, shall not be
receivable as security for national
bank circulation. Under the terms of
this tariff act the secretary OF the
treasury was authorized to issue these
bonds to the amount Of S290,569, 900,
registered or coupon, bearing not over
per cent interest payable quarterly
in gold. Thus far this fiscal year dis
bursements for the canals construc-
ton have amounted to more than
S25,25O,OOO.
The condition of the treasury leads
fnanciers to the view that a bond is
sue within a few weeks cannot be pre-
vented. The working balance is en-
tirely unsatisfactory and large requisi-
lions for the canal continue the heavy
drains, making necessary greater cash
strength in the treasury. Secretary
MacVeagh has made no public state
ment as to the amount Of bonds he
will issue or the steps he will take to
popularize them. The securities will
offer no greater inducements than the
8 per cent interest and the tax exemp-
tion features they will carry.
Another question Is here raised as
to whether this bond issue will be fol-
lowed by one to provide for the retire
ment of the last Spanish war loan.
There is some belief that it will, be-
cause there still remains outstanding
of the loan of 19O8-191S about sea-
100000. But it may be months be-
fore any action is taken on this. or be-
fore it becomes known, at least.

Champ Clark,s Anhorisms

Champ Clark, writing in Mr.. Bry-
ans Commoner. declares, Men
should say what they mean and mean
what they say" AS an aphorism that
is undeniable, but 1t sounds strange
coming from a man who stands firmly
on nothing. In the last congress
Champ Clark changed his course on at
least three Of the big questions pend
ing-the rules, the tariff board and
Canadian reciprocity. He took dia-
metrically opposite positions on each
Of these propositions and in each in
stance declared himself with charac-
teristic vigor.
On December 20. 1910, writing in
the New York Journal Of Commerce,
Mr.. Speaker-to-be said:
As for the tariff board, believe that
every member OF the COMMITTEES on ways
and means, democratic or republican, has
either in public or In private, or IN both
expressed an opinion against a tariff com
mission; for calling 1t a board does not
change It's character. Il is a commission
and calling Il board is beating about the
bush-whipping the devil around the stump
Opposition to q tariff commission was
about the only thing upon which all the
members OF the committee were in agree
ment II any member has changed his
mind 1t devolves upon him to give his
reason.
Mr.. Clark appeared to be the only
member who changed his mind for
along in February, few days before
the bill passed the house, he, as mi

A meeting Of the annual report
Of the Civil Service commission just
made public offers gratifying evidence
of the progress made as a consequence
of the commissions power to investi-
gate violations Of the civil service law
and rules. The most frequent and
fragrant violation is that of political
activity by persons coming within the
classified list, whereby subordinates
are compelled to do political work or
pay over campaign contributions. The
commission states that a large number
Of such cases have been brought to
light, and points out that this indi-
Gates, not so much increased number,
as rather increaseN. vigilance in de-
lection, and that the greater number
OF offenses disclosed is to be accounted
for by greater activity on the part Of
this branch of the government ser
vice.
OF these specific cases reviewed in
the report, the story told is practi-
cally the same, with variations. Four
employees of the Philadelphia mint,
dismissed because Of politics, we're re-
instated; customs employee at Mo-
bile, reduced in rank and pay for po7
litical reasons, was restored; various
complaints involving federal officials.
directly and indirectly, in the, eollec-
ton Of political contributions we're in
vestigated, and in several instances
the circumstances we're such that the
cases " ere forwarded to the attorney
general for prosecution AS a result
Of its Investigations, the commission
adds, "a number Of employees have
been separated from the service
by removal or resignation, and others
suspended or reprimanded."
This exhibit of activity by the Civil
Service commission is sufficient argu-
ment for the need of such a body in
dependent Of other departments of the
government, to which classified en-
ployes may direct their complaints
with reasonable expectation of having
their grievances redressed, instead of
efforts to hush them up or cover them
over If the work of the Civil Service
commission should be abandoned or
become ineffective, the civil service
law would not long amount to much.

The representatives OF the estate OF a
man who formerly conducted business in
the Philippine islands have made applica-
tion to the War department for its assist
ance in collecting alleged debts from en-
listed men Of the Twenty-third infantry.
The position OF the War department in
this matter Is that it cannot convert itself
into a collection agency and will not inter
est itself in the collection by civilians Of
their debts due from enlisted men. The
department takes coRnizance only Of the
disciplinary aspects OF the failure Of en-
listed men to meet their financial oblga-
tons and then 0nly to the extent to which
good order and military discipline are af-
fscted by such failure or the efficiency OF
the soldier is impaired thereby. While in
rare cases trial by a court-martal may
be resorted to with good results after a
debt has been reduced to judgment by
the civil court, yet, as a rule, discharge
from the service, rather than detention by
punishment is regarded as the better
course. The post authorities can best de-
termine which of these two courses should
be pursued. discharge would have to
be authorized by the secretary Of war.
