Hut the oircuniMance- leadlnc up to this decision are not lilameable upon the reKlstetcd nominee nor upon the Republican party otganl.itlnn. They are part of the lot tunes or mMoi tunes of war. It is difficult to lioteinilm these das whether the illploinmlc business nt Turkej is strained or unstrained Unavoidable Suspicions. FOR AT LEAST a quarter of a century a large majority of the people of the fnlted States have wnntetl a tran lthmlan canal to facilitate travel be tween the Atlantic nnd Pacllie sen hoards nnd between the remoter shores of thiHe gieat commerce-beat Ins oceans. For at lenst a quntter of n cenur they have been willing that their government should build such a (onnectlng waft way at thelt expense nnd while wanting the wotk done economically they have not haggled over, the cost. During the whole of thlsf.tlme the attitude of both of the lending political parties by which the government Is can led on has been as serHyely favorable to the canal's con etruCtlon. Platform after platform has demanded It. Candidate after can didate has Indoised It. President after president has recommended It to con gress. Vet every time thnt a move has been made, It has somehow been Mocked. Our political history shows no parallel case of public sentiment belnsr so continuously nnd emphatically onei way while the trend of manipula tion has been so long successful In the opposite direction. Now by way of climax conies the re port'from New York, ct edited by "Hol land? one of the most trustworthy of Iw York correspondents, that the latedt superfluous canal commission the second or third dnce the subject nrose which vvns created by the last congress manifestly for purposes of de lay, ihtm decided to recommend the abandonment of the Xlcaingua canal project, and the purchase by the United StntCB of the plant, concessions nnd charter of the Panama corpora tion. Many pluuslble reasons ate giv en In the literature Inspired by the latter company for In selection In preference to the other route; but It would be difficult to make the aver nge man believe that a proposition at hlh Ute day to switch over from NIc airacua to Panama if not conceived and ttrtred with n vltv to nddlllnnal po.tponment of any canal whatever. It would nut be believed that the memht'M of the present commllon could be innai otil) swerved fiom n r;en of their duty In the pirtnlsr, but tllo SUipli louwotiltl fntrn. In spile of their hlRh eh.irnctrt, that shrewder mind than theim had cleerl effect oil an Itirllnatloti of JutlKinent which would n practical conscriuences make for mote coufuloti nml delay. Por It must he borne In mind that the l'ananin canal company Is virtually bankrupt nnd In tecelsei' hands.

Those who want a innal and want It iptlck have no faith In the Panama uopoltlon ami never have had. They look upon It as an nitful iIoiIrp worked In combination by From h speculators and jppjeseii!'! tlves of the tcinscontlnental talltoad'. the one hoping to te-fenther their weather-beaten rits; the other eicheiiilnfr to aveit the tompetltlnn of iht.tp water frelphti. Consres at lt next session "hould halt this Intolctable mannptnerlnK nnd vole the orders nnd the funds to po nhearl with the Xlrnrngiin canal. The Urotherhood of Ralltoatl Fire nun bellee thnt the l)ot way to strengthen nnd dignify n labor otgnn l.itfon Is to be faithful to nil ngtrc-ment". A Necessary Lesson. NO OX1-: ran be wnrprlsod nt the ilotermliintlon of the Ametlrun Tin Plato com pany to have no further dealing with the Amalgamated asso ciation. Tltn latter made with the fotnier ,i lonttact for a tnr and be fotc the Ink on It w.im dt deliberately btoke It by going on ittlkf. Murines" c.itmot be conducted on such .1 basis. John .Mitchell -ecs lhl nnd has sound ed nn lmtueslve warning, other wipe leaders of labor, like Chief Arthur and Chief Sargent see it nnd, It N tepoit ed.have Infoimed Shaffer of the danger of hi way. The Aineilcan Tin Plate company, whatever Its limits, keeps ItH ugi cements. This may In part be 11 vltltie of necessltj. If It btoke con li.icift It lould be stfd nnd mulcted In tho courts. Hut whatever the ti.isons that Impel It to live up to Its agreements. It Is within its right and cle.trl.v Justltletl In iefii"lng to hold further dealing with .1 l.i bur oigunlzatltin with which solemn inntracts have no binding I foice. This lutue mtnl be met in thl count 1 y and as well now as later. It l ax Impoitaiu for the welfaio ot the woiklngman a for the welfare of the emplove- that lalmr union oltlclals lacking In regaid for their wiltten wind shall bo deprived of tin it power to make ttotihle. Such men lire as little to be tit)tcd by their followers iih by the employer-! whom they seek to coeice, A rocognl70d pilnclple in law H that he who Is fnle In one thing is fnlo In all. The labor leader who will not respect n contract with nn emplojer will not respect nn obli gation to his constituents Nor In the position of Chief Sargent, that other organizations of labor must by their conti Ibutlons of money, hi-lp to defend Sli.iffei's union In Its false attitude lest Shaffer's defeat might teact to their disadvantage, well taken. Tne very Hist thing necessary to establish a labor organization In the public te spei t Is to show, not only by Its deodu, but also by Its .sympathizers, that It tunnel's for fidelity to contracts. If Shaffer, ct. nl., have broken con ti u-is they have committed nn as sault upon the title interests of organ ised labor far moie serious In Its con .setiuences than any linmedlati Injury inflicted upon the steel trust. Instead of shielding them thte-e lendeis of l.ibor who have labor's wtlfnic slticete ly at henit should be the tlrst to de. iimince their course at not sanctioned by organized laltor In general nnd n. hostile to the Intent of th labor union movement. Where then- l.s a ban el of applet nnd some of the upplrn become totten it Is nor ssary to sncrlflco tho totten npplcs to save the good ones. Thli exactly Illustrates the position in which American labor union Htaiid nt the piesent time. The ooutrnct-hreakrrs, the practitioners of Intimidation and lawlessness, those which undeiinke to denv to vvoi Iters not on their member- h.p tolls thr right to earn nn honest living, must bo cast out and teptiili.it el el.vt t l.o whole cause of otganized labor will fall under public repromh and the bad In It will choke out the good. It Is to be hoped that the latest trouble about the Golden Hotn will not ngaln lead tho powers to the ul tlmutum habit. Accordlnp; to Doyle. TUB CRITICS are poking fun at Or. Conan Doyle beiause the pressmo of public de mand has fotced him to resuitcct Shetlock Holmes. y (o not s.vmpathlze with them. Hather In Pr. Doyle to be commended. With the exception of his predilection for dope doubtless n human but from the liter al y standpoint certainly an unneces. sary weakness, over much emphasized both in blood nnd on the stage Holmes, like A. Ward' k nn Km 00, was nn "ntuoosln' cuss," whtx- wondeitul goings on gave Innocent plcisuro aui tellef 1 1 om drowsiness to countless millions of women tend men. Never wan there n more outingeons ense of unjustltlnblr' homlcldo than when Doylo killed Holmes oil'. Doyle's excuse whm that the great radtiitlvy dcteetlVH had become 11 mcnitce to the permanence of Ids teputatlon at un rtlrt. Hut this proposition fnlU in the light of the ftct that noilng wilt ten by Poyle Flnro the homicide was committed liaa tended to enhance thr.t reputKtlon. Any hon', what le fame?
