Marching on Panama.
The situation In Panama becomes moro
'.nnd more interesting. It is now reported
that Colombian troops nro marching on
Panama with a vlow to whipping the new
republic back Into the union.- Whether
or not Panama had a right to secede un?
der the Constitution, wo have ncvor boon
able to ascertain. On Wednesday last Sen?
ator Hoar offered a resolution request?
ing the President to communicate to the
Senate "whether tho Constitution of tho
Republic of Colombia authorized the se?
cession of Panama therefrom, and
whether Colombia was prevented by the
action of the United Stales or by any otTl
cer or force under tho jurisdiction of the
same from attempting to assert Its au?
thority or to prevent such secession, and
?what instructions, if any, had been given
by tho government ot the United States
to such officers, whothor civil, military,
or naval; and whether, It any action had
>een taken by such officers without spo
Olal authority what action was so tolten,
and whether such action has been ap?
proved or disapproved by tho govern?
ment of the United States."
Perhaps tho Inside information will
como by and by. But right, or no right,
Panama seceded and gnlnod her indepen?
dence, and set up a government of her
own which tho United States government
promptly recognized. Not only so. but the
'United States government is going to
defend Panama against Colombia! Our
government proposes to stand by tho now
republic! It now .recognizes the divine
right of secession, and will lend Its strong
arm to the seceded republic! Tho United
States government does not propose to
stand off and see these secessionists whip?
ped back Into tho union.
U the Southern Confederacy had only
had such a strong ally In 1SC1; If Eng?
land had then come to our rescue, as the
United States government now goes to
the rescue ot Panama, the Southern Con?
federacy would havo stood, and would to?
day be an Independent republic. But the
United States government vigorously pro?
tested agalris tlntorterenco on tho part of
Great Britain, or any other foreign power,
nnd so all tho national. thq,.oarth stood
by and lot the blocldy 'work go on. Tho
North had Infinite resources, was able ttt
draw upon the world for Its supplies,
while tho South had to depend upon her?
self, and was practically shut out from
Ihe world.
Happy Panama; sho Is more fortunate.
A great change of sentiment has come
over the government at Washington. Se?
cession which was such an ignoble tiling
when tho South socoiled, is now a very
beautiful thing in tlio eyes of the admin?
istration, a thing to bo recognized and
championed and defended.
Hanna or No?
Sir. Hanna continues to protest that
It is cruol to him to mention his name
in connection with tho Republican presi?
dential nomination, but his friends go
sir-tight along putting In a good word
for him, whenever thoy can.
The truth Is that thero aro many Re?
publicans who prefer Mr. Hanna to Mr,
Roosevelt. In tho business world may
be found no Inconsiderable number who
at tribute to tho President tho chill that
has fallen upon so many business enter?
prises of late.
When he went Into office ho was dis?
trusted as an unsafe business man. This
fact he knew and hence ho has boon on'
his good behavior, so to speak, but it is
argued that he will bo under no such
restraint If re-oltctod, If ho bus made
"bad breaks'1 In his flr.-n icrm, what
may b? expected of him in ids second,
when ho will have a free hand?
Huch ar? some of tho views held.
The opposition to the nomination of Mr,
Roosevelt is an undercurrent of the poli?
tical seas. It docs not show itself,
With tho Republican masses It appears
that ha Is very strong, They like his dash?
ing ways, his "rough rido," "methods,"
his "push" and "snap." But thero are
home, who ponder things well, and who
would prefer a safer man in the presi?
dential chair than ho 1h. But can or will
thoy assert themselves, and can th-.y
carry the people with them? It seems
incredible. Roosevelt will bo renominated
unleBS ho himself brings on defeat,
Two Great Writers.
The other day when IlerL.rt Spencer
died, tho fact was telegraphed all over
the world, and there were many eulogies
In the newspapers,
Op th* sume day, died in the cliy of
j-?U*d*i_>hla. S?v. lit. Uenry Clay Traw
bull, editor of Iho Sunday School Times,
hut Ids death attracted Utile attention,
Herbert (.poticer wiia a groat philosoph?
er, and one of (he most brilliant writer*
of tho ngo. Ho contributed much to
gclcnce nnd literature, nnd It has been
j-ald of him lo read his works Is a lib?
eral education,
Henry Clay Trumbull was also n tnab
of Intellectual force but his energies
turned 111 another direction. Ho delved
111 tho rich mines of tho Bible nnd dug
out Its most beautiful goniB of truth. Ho
.plight diligently for the hidden trena
mo and gave It goncroiisly to tho world.
For ninny yoars he was, porhnps, tho
foremost figure In Sunday School work
In tho world, und no man contributed
?,oro to Sunday School literature. Ho
had a genius for finding, the Irttirt of
tho Sunday School lesson, nnd for bring?
ing out nnd Impressing tho truth, lie
loved his work and loved to do good,
ilo believed in tho Blblo, and In nil that
It taught, nnd ho wrote from convic?
tion. Ho wns the Sunday school teacher's
friend, and his aids nnd stimulus to tho
study of the Blblo will bo greatly nilss

Spencer appealed to tho intellect;
'j rumbiill appealed to the heart. Spencer
taught a cold, lifeless philosophy; Trum
bull taught n living, llfo-glving, religion.
Spencer ottered to his disciples "light;"
Trumbull offered to his, faith.
Which of these two groat writers
did more for tho good and consolation of
humanity?
Galveston's Pluck.
It, is announced from Galveston that
bids for raising tho entire city seven
foot' to a level with the sea-wall, so as
to prevent flood by tidal wave, have
been opened. Tho lowest bid offered to
do tho work Is two million dollars, und
the city will issuo bonds In that amount.
The filling will reouli-e tho moving of
cloven million cublo yards of earth.
When It Is recalled that only a few
years ago *Galveston was practically
rwept from the face of the earth by a
storm, It Is simply marvellous that tho
city has now recovered from Its disas?
ter, and Is able to do' this stupendous
\.ork.
It illustrates tho pluck, courage and he.
lo'is'm of the Southern people. Tho some
pluck, courage and heroism which South?
ern men displayed In war, they have
since displayed In building up their waste
pieces and tho South Is now the grow
ing section of tho country, und ono of the
most prosperous. Hurrah for Galveston
nnd Southern pluck.__._
The Capitol.
Tho people of Virginia will never con?
sent In this generation to havo our noble
old Capitol building torn down, or even
thrust asido as a museum. Too many
sacred associations hang about It, and
sentiment rules the world.
But tho Capitol must bo repaired and
enlarged, and when tho work Is done, It
should bo done right.
Let us have no ship-shod patch work.
Tho State Is an.plyA.ble to put tho build?
ing In thorough repair and provide add!-,
tlonal nnd necossnry room to accommo?
date Its Increasing business. And the
sooner the work Is begun tho better.
Penitentiary Bill.
The Houso of Delegates showod a
proper disposition and did tho correct
thing yesterday In passing tho Senate
bill making ah appropriation of $50,000
to complete tho new cell building at the
penitentiary.
This money Is needed, and will bo
used to put In a sanitary system of
plumbing, ventilating apparatus, steam
heating, etc. Nothing will bo spent for
"ornamentation." Tho building will be
severely plain and solid, sufficient for Us
purposes, and as "up-to-date" as could
be expected from the amount invested?
$180,000, plus $50,000,
Alaska and Panama.
In IS'17 wo bought Alaska for $7,200,000,
and thereby acquired an area of terri?
tory which Is one-third ot that of the en?
tire United States. Wc also acquired ex?
ceedingly valuable mining, ilshlng and
sealing rights, notably the Prlbllolt Is?
lands. Tha Trcadwell Mines alone havo
produced ovor $10,000,000, which Is over
iwlco tho. original cost of Alaska, and
yet we aro to pay $10,000,000 of monoy
earned by tho sweat of tho brow of
American people for tho purpose of giv?
ing Panama a canal, which will provo tho
greatest revenue producer In Central
America. All that can be urged In de?
fense or this action Is that President
Roosevelt has mane a bargain with Pnn
ama and nust stand by It. A bargain Is
a bargain, but It sometimes pays to
choose a,good trader when $10,000,000 is
to bo expend-td for the privilege of giv?
ing somebody cist an enormous advan?
tage.

The Gcno'-nl Assembly seems deter?
mined to strengthen tho pure olectiona

A Hint to the President,
They havo been drawing the deadly par
allel Oil Presu_t.nl Roosevelt and showing
?wondrous si.nihility between that portion
or his mess.iso leluilug to bribery and
published remarks or circuit Attorney
.lames W. J? ilk, ol St. Louis, on tho some
subject. But Iho President may well an?
swer his critics ill the following lines:
"He lvriteth best who steulcth best,
Ideas both git-at and small,
For the great mind that wrote them first
.-'run. nature stole them all."
The most extraordinary teat In the way
or removing a houso from one site to
another Is now being performed at the
cost or Mr, John M. Longyeur. Having
become piqued by the construction of u
railroad ih front of his premises at Mar

$300,000 dwell! ig, stone by slone, and la re?
moving It to Brookllne. Mbm., a distance
of 1.000 tnllos, Each pleeo of stone or

Iho house has boon appropriately marked

styled by its insldents "Ihe wealthiest
town In the world," and Is, practically
speaking, u suburb of Boston. ,
A somewhat similar font In tho way of
Inftlnir down ri houso and removing It
pleco by plcco was performed In tho caso
of tho Lrbby Prison. That largo building
was taken down hero and rebuilt In Chi?

RACE PREJUDICE.

some wanted to flog a white man, for,
as thoy thought, traveling with a negro
woman, as tho whlto men presumed as
his wife. At least tho man was noticed
occupying a seat with a negro woman In
a car ot a westbound train. When the
excltemont was at fever heat/ It was as?
certained that tho man was a doputy
