ALL AT SEA AGAIN.
iliiiiral Wn'k't and his colleagues
of tln iHtiimian canal conynisalon
have tompletely and unanimously re-
verseu themselves on trio question of
the beat roote for the Interoreanlc
waterway aud ohe wlioic problem Is
once more thrown oppn for decision
b vrongrcss on Its intrinsic merits
by iongreas on I2 intiinslc merits
slon Ie guilty of vacillation and inde
clBlon because at the tlmo Uiey made
their former recommendation of tho
Nicaragua route the Panama alter-
native was not really before thom
Now that a definite ans responsible
offer for the transfer or ttio Fronch
coneorfFlon to the United States has
been made it Is Impossible to lgnoro
it and only nfter a calm and Impar-
tial coiirtlderatlon of the whole mnttor
can a decision be reached Delay In
the Inauguration of wort: on the canal
will be the one certain result of tho
tardy action by the represntatiV8i
of the Panama company; whether gr
' not there will be any oilier result re-
mains to be -een.
If congress should finally decide to
accept the offer of tho Frenph com-
pany for tlu' sale of all Hb works and
privileges there nro some Indlspons
ubio conditions that must so complied
with. Tho Colombian govornmont
must materially oxtenc Uo conces-
sion by romoving the tlmp ymlt; un-
der no consideration Cjvuy tho United
States undertake tho construction of
hq canal on a lease of tho territory
through1 which it is top'ass that Is
limited aB In th'o caBO of tiitf French
concession to hinoty-nrno years or
to any other definite period no mat-
ter how long it may bo. Tho grant
must! be in perpetuity and must bo
as full and froo from conditions and
restrictions as tho concession which
Nicaragua and Coata IUca are ap-
parently ready to makfc.
Thin too the minority Interest in
tho Panama Railroad company must
pass with the majority interest held
by the Freucta Canal company to the
United Saiej. which tan not afford
to tuk au private persons into ac-
tive partnership in onneetion with
tho tana I or any of Kb appendages.
This private minority interest Is
small only 1187 shares In a total of
70000 but it is sufficiently large to
Diako its ownership by our govern
moat absolutely essential. In order to
avort the chance of a harassing and
extortionate policy on the part of Its
ownors. It has beon reported that
tht owneis of th minority share of
tho railroad company's stock would
not part wl h them under any clrcuro
Uinc e. but they will proaably change
tholr minds in tliat connection and
U out their interest at tno present
roarkc value which is that of the par
valuation nf $100 per s.&e With
the.- two points cleared up. the serl

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S
HAPPY ABSENCE.
If Senator Dewew Is beHsvable when
htr ay that George Washington
were he alive today would be a mem-
bar of the UqpibUof lty tlisa It
1b providential that lh6 h?ro of the
hatchet romaldtf very much dead and
doparted says the Atlanta Constltu
tlon.
For we can scarcely Imagine George
Washington Joining- himself to tho
party that dettbemtaly purchased an
insurrection for the purpose of sup
pressing It l then possessing tae
lands of that psople whoso rvgluUt
was begun and prosecuted for the very
noma purpose as won the rebellion
whloh he hlmaslf led to success. Nor
can we thlnU of him conniving to con-
vert a people stniggliug for liberty
Into wards of the natlou" the nation
too whose history was'the chief in-
spiration of the vtlipino revolt against
Spain
(.con SW-hirgton u our judg
mm . .mid uut look upon oui i. la
tlon with Cub as "practical and not
fcentlmeutal " or to translate the ou
phemlsm of the telvor Chauncey as

I a cm eln which our solemn pledge
not to exorcise sovereignty ovsr Cuba
' xoept for Hb paciflcnUnn. and then to
' leave Its government to 1U own ppo-
pl must glv way t the "practlonl
i and undisguised determination of n
onsplrary of trusts ami pollttrnl ex-
ploiters 1o gobble up the Inland of
Cuba by fair means or foul' Neither
1'nn wp think of George Washington
kicking the nation' world-wide proc-
' tarnation of honest and humane pur-
' poeen Into the ash pile and sinking
I the bono- of the United States under
'the man heartless scheme of liberty-
dde In the Philippines that the world
nm ever witnessed!
1 No true patriot eau Uilnk favorably
of such tiling ii the same hour that
h. thinks of George Washington.
"DIE IN THE LAST DITCH."
The origin of the expression "Die
I in the last ditch" did not as many
nuppose Oilginate In the South dur
ling the Civil war hut Is found In
illutfie's hlfuoiy of ISnglund 162. and
I Its nulhor was William or Orange and
'it originated In this wise When the
Duke of Buckingham urged the lneit
able destruction which apparently
hung over the United Provinces and
asked him whether ho did not see
that the commonwealth was' ruined
William replied: "There Is ono cer-
talh means by which I can bo mirf.
never to see my countr"s ruin I will
die in tho test ditch."
"HOBSON'S CHOICE"
Here In how this snylng had Its
origin. Tobias Hobson wag the first
man in England to keep a stable for
tho hlro of horsoii. When a man enmo
for a horso ho wns required to tnTco
tho horse next to tho atablo door; so
that every customer was alike well
served according to IUb chance from
whence it becamo a proverb whon
what ought tio have beon tho custom-
er's selection was by the unbending
tulo of the liveryman forced upon
him and henco the saying "Hobson's
choice."
The Unltod States is -about to turn
ovor to Wu Ting Fang the Chlnaso
mlnlBtor at Washington tho sun; of.
?37G000 tho nmount realized from tho
salw of tho silver bullion solzod by
United Stnteo marines whon Tientsin
fell into the hands of tho allies during
Jhe Boxer troubles a year and a halt
ago. This money has since beon ly-
ing in tho treasury department
awaiting restoration to us lawful
owners when a sultablo opportunity
presented. It la a lucky thing Dor
China that Amorican marines un-
earthed this hoard of sllvor boToro the
Gormans stumbled upon it. Iu that
evont it would have stood no moro
chanco of boing rostored to China
than did tho spoils of tho great Pekln
observatory
Private credit is wealth public
honor Is secu-Uy; the fer.thsr that
adorns the royul blrC support Its
night; strip him 'of his plumage and
you fix him to the earth.
