DETERIORATING.

Very lively interest has recently
been aroused throughout the country
over the question as to which party
is dead, the Republican or the Pro-
gressive. The New York Herald
printed last Sunday a rather elab-
crate review of the recent past per-
formances," giving the result of vot-
ing at special and other elections.
In which 1t is shown that the DEM
ocartic party is holding its own, that
the Republican party is increasing
its strength and that the Progressive
oarty has very greatly deteriorated
in its followers. II looks very much
as though the Progressive organiza-
tion was following directly in the
footsteps OF the old Liberal Repub-
lican party Of forty odd years ago.

troversy II we abjectly surrender
every American right at Panama.
The history of this country would
have been less glorious had we
failed to urge our contentious even
when fully convinced of our right.
When the Venezuela question
stirred the nation il was a mistake,
according to this new 'peace-at-any-

Cleveland to have declared in a
message that commanded the re-
spect of the world:
To-day the United States Is
practically sovereign upon this con-
tinent, and its fiat is law upon the
subjects to which it confines its
interposition.'
The report warned the Interstate
Commerce Committee and members
of the House that, by the provisions
of the Sims bill, IT would forever
foreclose the right of the United
States to pass through the canal,
without payment of tolls, either
battleships, revenue cutters, golfers
transports or other Government
owned craft.
The fac: that the Supreme Court
rendered a decision which sustained
the contention that the provisions OF

PRESENT LAWS PROTECT.

For many years it has been the
practice of the railroad and steam
-ship- companies to use part OF the
fare paid by the immigrant in Great
ing a fund to work up immigration
from the old country. The literacy
test. IL it becomes a law, will not
destroy this profitable practice. The
solicitors abroad will simply SHIFT
their field of operation from the
humble but illiterate peasantry OF
rural places to the slums of the an
cient cities, where steerage passen-
gers can be found who are able to
read. This will bring larger per-
centage of vicious and dangerous
men and a smaller number of sim
pie. earnest toilers. Even II labor
union men consider this matter from
a purely selfish standpoint they VIII
lose by this, for the more shrewd
and shifty men of the cities of Eu-
rope are more inclined than the SIM
pie peasants to congregate in larger
cities here, and are more apt to make
capable strike-breakers in time OF
contest. Our laws are rigid now,
