SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, WS.
! The Republic of Panama.
Soon after tho Colombian Senate de?
clined to ratify tho treaty with the Ignited
States for the purchase of the Panama
?Canal, a leading Republican nespaper at
: the North made bold to say that our
I Government would be justifiable in selz
I ing the Isthmus and going ahead with the
Work In defiance of the Colombian ro
! public ,
Others made the prediction that Pana?
ma, would secede, and It now turns out
that several months ago arms and am?
munitions were shipped from Morgan
I City, Louisiana, to tho Colombian coast
near Colon, but the vessel bearing the
cargo was not permitted to land. The
cesici then sailed to Porto Rico, a pos
a<Eslon of the United States, and these
munition of war were then and there
?delivered to tho Panama revolutionists.
Several days ago the revolutionists
aeized the government of Panama, set up
a government of their own, and yesterday
It was announced from Washington that
instructions have been sent to United
States Minister Beaupr?, at Bogota, and
to Mr. Ehrmaui, the United States vice
consul at Panama, and now acting con?
sul there, to Inform the governments of
Colombia and Panama respectively that
the d? facto government is recognized.
In vlaw of these facts. It Is no wonder
that suspicion, amounting almost to con
vlctioi, exista here and elsewhere that
the revolution was Instigated by our Gov?
ernment, and that the'new republic of
Panama owes its existence to the great
American republic in tho North, and this,
too, in spite of the fact that In tho Hay
Herran treaty the United States ac?
knowledged the sovereignty of Colombia
?nd disavowed any intention to impair it
In any way what?ver, or to Increase its
territory at the expense of Colombia or any
alster republic in Central or South
America.
We are not disposed to pass judgment
until we know the whole story. Up, to
this time wo have had no statement from
President Roosevelt. But he will have to
make an explanation. Already somo of
the newspapers are after him and the
publi? are asking questions. People in
tho South especially are anxious to know
If the Prealdent of the United States has
really been encouraging secession In Pan?
ama.
-Jerome to the Rescue.
A New York corespondent says that In
?he Tenderloin District the proprietors of
gambling resorts and questionable places
of all kind? now announce confidently to
their intimate friends and patrons that
After McClallan is inaugurated they will
not have to be In constant fear ot the au?
thorities In conducting their business.
?They correctly Interpret the triumph of
{Tammany. They understand that -Tam?
many will continue to license such places
to do business. Tammany succeeded in
rallying to its support all men who like
a "wide open" town, and it would appear
that these hold the balance of power in
Greater New York.
But this element seems to forget that
It has yet to reckon wtth District Attor?
ney Jerome, who will continue in otilo
alter January at, and Mr, Jerome will
make It uncomfortable for the law-break
era.
"If they think they are going to have
an 'open town,'" said he, In referring to
the matter, "they have made the big?
gest mistake of their lives. I am going
alter the gamblers and dlve-kcepers and
X am going to get tho evidence."
The appropriation allowed Mr. Jerome
Is. In hie opinion, Inadequate, but he says
that he will.get the money and that If
the city wants the epeotacl? of Its Dis?
trict Attorney applying for private funds
for tho purpose of enforcing tho law,
that spectacle will be shown. Mr. Je?
rome has tho honesty and courage and ho
should be baoked by the host element
in th? city. Bo long aa he remains In
office he will be a thorn in Tammany's
aid?, Tammany will have control, but the
strong and respectable minority in New
fork will be able to do much In tho ln
ierost of law and order and public de
caney, if it will only stand by Mr, .le?
rem* and hold up his hands.
' The difficulty in most cities is that the
better ?lasa ot people pay no attention to
publlo mattart and never assert thom
aelves, They allow the professional poli?
ticians to run the city and then complain
because government la bad. In a popular
Kovernment like oura the people must
alwgy? ha vigilant and diligent, If they
fxpeot to keep their household in order.

Different Viewe, 1
It Is curious to fee how Indifferently dlf- i
forent people view tho Panama complica?
tlon, The New York Times, the Net?'
York Herald and many other newspapers
and not a few public meri consider that the
action of the State of Panama le equiv?
alent to terminating negotiation?,v.for
Isthmian Canal franchise?. They ?ay It
would bo disgraceful for this country to
Involve Its good name In a revolution,
such as that now In progroen, and.they,
-contend . thai" under the taw? It la-the
duty of President Roosevelt .to;adobt 'de?
finitely, tho Nlc?raguan rotila "and '.con?
sign the Panama Canal to oblivion."?
On the other hand, there Is a widespread
belief that this country ought not to
build a canal upon territory that is not,
practically speaking, under Its own Im?
mediate control. It could have that terri?
tory If Panama makes good her clatm to
secession and is sustained by the arms
. and Influence of the United States. Pan?
ama would be an Independent State, and
always would be under our "protection."
Tho people of Panama aro united for
the canal, while Colombia has no settled
opinion about It, except that It wants to
realize as much cash as possible for the
franchises.
Panama ha? two seaports more thriving
than any in ' Colombia. It Is, however,
not In touch with the republic at any
point, "except that It shares the national
misfortunes and bears a heavy part of the
burden of taxation
Panama has no communication with th?
rest of the republic except by sea. The
southern part of the Isthmus Is a wilder?
ness, inhabited by unfriendly Indians, and
Colombia has generally let them alone.
We are told that It takos a month to
cross tho mountains from Bogota and
reach Panama by way of the little Pacific
port of Buena "Ventura. The export and
Import trade of Colombia Is dono through
other ports than those of the Isthmus.
The fact la that the Isthmus! depends fog
Its business upon the trade across it. Tbe
people are most prosperous when busi?
ness Is liveliest on the railroad, and no
doubt It wou?d be better off as an inde?
pendent State, provided that Its Indepen?
dence bo guaranteed by the United
States.
Sixty thousand voter? of Greater New
York did not go to the polls last Tuesday
?a noteworthy circumstance considering
the heat of the campaign and the extra?
ordinary efforts that were made to bring
out every man who was entitled to cast
a ballot. Of these 00,000 it may be as?
sumed that many were absent from the
city or sick, or so engaged as to be un?
able to go to the polls. But ma?ctng all
these allowance* ' liberally, It appear?
that a large number of New Yorkers
either didn't care to vote between Low
and Modellar? or hadn't heard that an
election was on.
Governor John Walter Smith. ex-Gov?
ernor Jackson and Isador Rayner, Enti.,
are avowed candidates for United State?
Senator from Maryland to succeed Mr.
McComas. The most active ot these Is
Mr. Rayner, whoso friend? say he has
received verbal promise? of support from
enough members of the Legislature to
elect him. However, we Infer from a
statement mado In the Baltimore Herald
of yesterday that Governor Smith i? the
favorite of "the organization."
The term of Mr. McComas will expire
on March .Id, 1905.
One evil stilt remains in connection with
the Walton law, namely: The marking
of tickets by the Judges ot election,
which gives them too much power. We
understand that In future elections every
?voter will have to mark, his own ticket.?
Bedford Democrat.
The Constitution provides that all per
oons registered after January 1, 1901. must
pt epare and deposit their ballota without
aid, unless "physically unable." But any
voter registered prior to that date may be
aided In the preparation of his ballot by
such officer of election as he himself may
designate.

AS-TO TEMPERANCE.
\?'T'V/.'
A NEW ALCOHOL-DAIiaE^ TO
WOMEN AND CHILDREN-A
WARNING ABOUT PATENT
MEDICINES.
In tho manufacturo of a well known
patent modlclne, 2C0 barrote of alcohol
are used wo?kly. Tho bottles contain?
ing this so-Called medicino hold a lit?
tle lea? than a pint, if the mixture
'wits made up of- one-half alcohol, it
would - require 16?.0(0? ficelles a week
to dispose of this, Wcokly consumption
of alcohol. These "aro facts which
make it easy to understand to what
proportion alcohol Is used to produce
an Intoxicating compound sold under
folse pretences as "medicino."
Dangerous as such a preparation Is
to the health and morals of the people.
It Is made many times more so by the
addition of nerve-doadonlng and poison?
ous drugs?narcotics .and opiates?u*cd
because they produce an immediate ef?
fect, regardless of the fact that thoy
arc Injurious In the extreme.
Preparations of this kind find their;
way Into homes where temperance Is
preached, and where Intemperance Is
looked upon with horror. It Is not
difficult- to understand how, under these
circumstances, hofne Influence and wise
teaching Is undermined, and tho appe?
tite for alcohol and strong drink created.
Then, too, the opium, morphine, cocaine
and other oplales (used In these prepa?
ration? ' because they; temporarily para?
lyze the functions of tho nerves), de?
stroy the entire nervous system 'and
wreck the brain. *They do more; they
are responsible for creating the deadly
drug habit, which has enslaved as men?
tal and physical wrecks thousands of un?
fortunate?. I
Nearly all patent modlclnes and eo
called cough cure? dopend for their
effect upon ????? form of thee? drugs.
That la one mason why doctors aro
opposed to patent medicines. It le a
good reason, too, when victims of the
deadly drug habit aro crowding the sani?
tariums and Inaine asylums.
Wo repeat that those selling these?
so-callcti "Immediate rollet" remedios,
stimulants disguised under tho name of
medicino, should bo compelled by law to
print tho formula on each package, tell?
ing what it contains. Wo have written
this to. you. will realize tho danger In
taking such preparations, anil so you
will undorstantl Its tmrportance when
you read that without these drugs, or al?
cohol, Father John's Medicino cures colls
and all throat and lung troubles?and
builds up the body. If Is the best' tonic
ever prescribed, because It driv?e out the
impurities In tho only way they can be
driven out, by enabling tho ytomach to
assimilato the food and thus strengthen
each orean of the bofly to do Its natural
work. This old remedy If not ? patent
medicine, us wo have, eald before. It
was prescribed for the late Rev. either
John O'Rrten. of St. Patrick's Parish,
Lowell, Maws., fifty years apo, from
whom It derived Its name and by whom

POINTS TO YOU.
How Coffee Set? It? Grip ?nd Is Never
Suspected.
It Is surprising how many people never
suspect that coffee Is causing all their
trouble uiitll they are finally knocked
out or some disease caused by coffee
has become chronic and almost Incurable.
Even In chronlo cases the chances nre
a shift from coffee to Postum Food Cof?
fee will build the sick one up.and In'time
effect a euro.
Sometimes this happens with surprising
promptness. A lady of Syracuse,' Neb,,
says: "Laet spring' a year ago my doc?
tor told me I would have to stop drink?
ing coffee. I .had heart trouble so bad
that the least excitement would cause me
to ohoka up so I could scarcely get my
breath, and I was eo nervous I could
not boar to have the children move about
the houao. v
"Doctor told my husband to get Pos?
tum for me, but beforo he did so we
moved to the country, and I fell back on
milk and water, hut e'yen euch exertion
as climbing a flight of stairs caused rpy
heart to hurt me t?o I would feel slok and
faint. ' ?
'.'This continued all summer,'until tn
tho fall we again moved to Byraouse.
There I got some Postum and began to
feel so much better after using ano pack?
age that I continued its use altoguth?r,
and I am now In better health thon I
hava over been before In eight years.
I am strong?? and fleshier than I ever
was, and have not had the headaohe but
three times since I began to use? Postum
u year ago. The <;h.ni<o -?ortalnly seems

quorum of each house had arrived last
night, and the members are coming In
by every train to-day. When the Re?
publican caucus Is held to-morrow nicht,
there will be few absentees, and the ?t
attendanco. at the Democratic conference
to-morrow afternoon will be fully as good.?
The entire'Virginia delegation is now in
tho city. .
A feature of the conversation one bears
on every sida In the hotel lobbies is til?
fine mode of the calling of the extra
session. No Democrats and but few Re?
publicana think there was any good rea?
son for the assembling of Congress before
the first Monday in December. But Mr.
Roosevolt Is specially desirous of having
the Cuban reciprocity treaty ratiflnd. It
will be. The Democrats are understood
to have changed front somewhat on the
treaty. They were not lined up against
It at the laat session, but many of-tbem
were opposed to It. They did not want
Cuban tobacco and sugar and molasses
to be admitted to this country duty free,
but several of them, including the Sena?
tors and representatives from Louisiana,
are now for tho treaty because It will
admit our cotton goods Into Cuba free
of duty.
But it Is understood now that a limpio
resolution ot the Sonate will not ratify
the treaty in practical ofTnot; a bill will
have to pass both houses reducing or
abolishing the duty on articles of Import
from Cuba mentioned In the treat?.

as chairman of the Republican National
Committee. President Roosevelt had a
lone conference with Mr. Crane yester?
day, and again to-day the Massachusetts
man was with the President for an hour
or more. I learned this afternoon that the
national chairmanship was the subject at
both conferences, that the President had,
after some difficulty, prevailed upon Gov?
ernor Crane to nay he would take thu
position. Senator Hanns may resign at the
meeting of the committee in this city on
December 11th.
Hanna for Presidency.
There seema to be really good reason to
think Senator Hanna would consider art
offer of the presidential nomination. Ho
probably thinks he would not accopt, but
his friends think he is dsonfvlng himself. ?
It Is a surprise to Republicans as well !
?s Democrats that Hanna has developed '
so great strength In' the past few days.
Ilia phenomenal victory tn Ohio Tues?
day has done' 1$.'/? ?.
The DernooTtaio victory In Maryland
was fully as effective In forcing Qorroan
to the front.. A,Republican ot national I
reputation tola me last night that Gor- j
man would beat Roosevelt by carrying all ;
the States of the South and New Tork, !
Connecticut and Indiana. "Hanna Is the ;
only man In the Republican party that
I know of who could beat Gorman," he
said. And then lie said Roosevelt would
by the Republican nominee, which one
could take only as a declaration that the
pext President would be a Democrat.
It Is an open Beeret that many Demo?
crats ere rejoiced at Hanna's triumph In
Ohio, The;' regard It as the hardest

Representative Wlltlam. A. Jones, of |

Sixth to-day, when a happened to meet
tl'.em.
"What do you think of me as, a proph?

hands, "I told you In Richmond at the
Horse Show that McClellan owuld be ?
elected mayor of New York by 80,000 ma?
jority, and you didn't believe me." '
But I do not as a rule doubt tho pollt- '
leal acumen ot the gentleman form tho
First District. He la such a close friend
of Mr. McClellan'? that one should bo
forgiven for thinking friendship had un- |
balanced judgment.
