Fremont (0.) Messenger: Last
year the people managed to settle the
coal strike, but they liavon t got
through settling the coal bill yet.
Elizabethtown (N. Y.) Post: Presi
dent Koosovolt might jump on one of
the big postal grafters, if only to
show them he is not afraid of them.
..Marion (0.) Mirror: The re-election
of Governor Beckham in Ken
tucky will bo the means of indefinitely
postponing the return of refugee Tay
lor to his native land.
. Bucyrus (0.) Forum: Since the
Ohio election President Roosevelt has
lost all desire to havo Senator Lodge
succeed Sonator Hanna as chairman
of the national committee.
' Ironton (0.) Irontonian: The
United States government has recog
nized the republic of Panama. It is
Very suddon, and probably the action
was governed by selfishness.
Marion (0.) Mirror: The difference
between Roosevelt and Hanna is, the
former is the commander in chief
of the army and navy, while the lat
ter is commander of the republican
party.
Fostoria (0.) Times: Wonder what
big deal there is at the root of this
Panama republic play? Either the
French republic that wants to sell out,
or J. Pierpont Morgan who wants the
people to buy, it in it.
Mansfield (0.) Shield: Those work
men who have been laid off by the
trusts will appreciate Mark Hanna's
advance in the price of coal before
tho winter is over. But then, you
know, Ohio voted to indorse Uncle
Mark.
Hamilton (0.) Sun: Miss Panama
is still laboring under the impression
that she was the ,one who did it all.
As a-matter of fact the outcome will
.probably show that she has been
trifled with. Uncle Sam was not mail
ing lave to tho giddy young thing for
love's sake alone. Not he.
Pen Yan (N. Y.) Democrat: Some
high and mighty Wall street finan
ciers ought to be in jail for robbing
the public. Instead, they pose as
philanthropists, endowing hero and
there a school or college. . Buta it
ought to be impossible to find anyJin
stitution that would accept money
gained in that way..
Wilmington (Del.) Jeff ersonian :
Grover- Cleveland has referred to his
"old-fashioned" democracy. In view
of tho fact that Cleveland has hot
voted the democratic ticket since 1892,
it is not surprising that his demo
cratic roho is out of fashion. Prob
Chilton (Wis.) Times: Poor old
Grover is certainly in a bad way when
Mark Hanna becomes eulogistic in his
behalf.
Keysor (W. Va.) Tribune: Tho
present administration deserves the
title of-tho Twentieth Century School
for Scandals.
Rharpsburg (Ky.) World: Tho re
publicans will soon -explain the de
cline in business as the result of the
fear of a democratic victory next fall;
Freeport (111.) Bulletin: The work
ingman sells his labor in the cheapest
aud buys his goods in the dearest
market; cause, tariff on goods, but
none on labor.
New Albany (Ind.) Public Press: If
we now had a democratic administra
tion the republicans would not be at
a loss to explain the present slump in
the stock market.
Whitewright (Tex.) Sun: The. presi
dent is urging Senator Hanna to con
tinue as chairman of the republican
national committee. The president
has an eye for business.
Mankato (Kas.) Advocate: Tho
fellow who thinks that the trusts
will bust themselves and that tho re
publican party will purify itself is en
titled to a place among the great hu
morists. Rogers (Tex.) News: Suppose Gor
man could be nominated and elected
president, of what benefit would it be?
Is he not today recognized as being
even more popular with the . trusts
tnan Roosevelt is?
St. Paul (Neb.) Phonograph-Press:
Now watch the financiers get in their
work on their pet banking bill. If
they succeed with their asset currency
it will outclass tho wild cat Currency
In its palmiest days.
Columbus (Neb.) Telegram: The
history of nations records no baser
betrayal of the confidence of a friendly
power than the act of President
Roosevelt in hastening, to the rescue
of the rebels in Panama.
LonK Prairie (Minn.) Democrat:
Boss Hanna looks upon Cleveland and
Gorman as the only two real dyed-in-the-wool
democrats in "the-land. This
ought to be pointer enough for us
common herd to think once or twice
before we leap.
Auburn (Nob.) Herald; Grover
Cleveland says that he would rather
have his son become a bridge-builder
than president. Knowing what w& do
about bridge building in some Nebras
ka counties, we are convinced that
Grover is onto the "graft."
Stanton (Neb.) Register: There isn't
of them is elected. Tho only differ
ence would bo that Teddy would make
strenuous speeches while Grover
would fish.
Shelbina (Mo.) Torchlight: From
buying the quit claim title of one na
tion to another people to secretly en
couraging an insurrection and the
formation of a rebellious government
to bo used as a tool is but a step.
Folks should not be surprised at these
little things now. This last step is
the one we have just taken down on
the isthmus. The circumstantial evi
dence against us is very strong, and
witnesses may lie, but circumstances
never.
Panama Canal Treaty.
(Continued from Pase 11.)
United States to employ whatever
force may be necessary for that sole
purpose, the said force to be with
drawn when the necessity for its pres
ence has ceased; that when the cir
cumstances demand the United" States
may send forces to the isthmus with
out the advice or consent of the Pa
nama government; that no change in
the" government or laws or treaties of
the republic of Panama shall, with
out tho consent of the United States,
effect in any way the provisions of
this treaty.
Provision is also made that the
joint commission for the determina
tion of damages to the property of
private owners arising from the con
struction of the canal shall consist of
two persons named by the president
of tho United States and two by the
government of Panama, and that in
case of disagreement the two govern
ments shall appoint an umpire to ren.
der the decision. eu

Bellairo (0.) Democrat: The em
ployes of the Sheet Steel company .at
Scotdalo, Pa., have signed an agree
ment for a reduction of 20 per cent in
their wages, and tho ones employed at
Canal Dover. have been notilied from
New York that the same reduction will

secretary of the treasury has lately
made a statement that there never
was so much money in tho United
States as now, but the tightness o the
money market, the raise of interest
rates, makes his statement appear
ludicrous.
Wilmington (Del.; Jeff ersonian:
Where, oh, where are the prosperity
tooters? If republicans made times
good, it must be tho same people wtia
are making them bad. Why are wages
going down? Why are not tho repub
ncan papers claiming the credit for
doing that? Is it not nearly time for
some fool to assert that the danger of
free silver is destroying confidence?

would support Teddy Roosevelt for
