Senator Hannu's repeated statement that he Is not a candidate for the presi dency calls to mind the fact that there nro a good many men not candidates who would take the honor if it should be forced upon them. m - Connell and Watres. THK ATTEMPT to charge against Congressman Con nell the defeat of Colonel "Vatres" gubernatorial aspi ration vlsl not succeed. Council was pledged to support John Elkln long be foie Watres candidacy was announced. He kept his pledge. Months before a local candidacy ap peared, Attorney General Klkln solic ited Mr. Connell's support in his am bition to be governor, and Mr. Connell jeplied that If not a candidate himself' he would do what he could for Klkin. Events so shaped themselves that Mr. Connell decided not to run for gover nor. Then It was that he kept Ms word to Elkln a manly thing to do under till circumstances. If pledges In poli tics were more honorably regarded, theie would be less In political life to call for criticism and censure. Rut In declaring for Elkln Mr. Con nell laid no stone In Watres" way nt home. "Watres picked his delegates and they were chosen without .opposition. They were good men, they supported Watres loyally and when he decided not to take his candidacy into the con vention they divided in preference be-, twecn Ponnypacker and Elkln. To say that it was AVilllam Connell's fault that Colonel "Watres was not nominated is to credit Mr. Connell with power he does not claim and is clearly at vari ance with the truth. The only hope that Watres ever had for the nomina tion was the favor of Senator Quay. , When Quay decided for Pennypacker, that settled it. William Connell does not shirk re sponsibility rightfully his. But he in only responsible for what he did; .which was to keep his word and stand by a friend. It was not his fault that tho Watres movement developed after ho had committed himself to Elkin. Complaints are made that on account of weather conditions the Texas crop outlook Is not promising.

IT APPEARS from tho Washing ton dispatches that nineteen ne publiean senators have proved suiriclcnt to defeat a policy ini tiated by William MoKlnley, endorsed overwhelmingly by public opinion with out regard to party, and pushed by the whole moral force of the Itoosevclt ad ministration, as well as supported by thlrty-llvo Itepubllcan senators.

The Panama .Route Wins. T HE VICTORY In the senate of the supporters of the Panama cumil route is satis factory to the country, which sincerely hopes that tho house will ac cept the senate's view and vote fu ex pedite the work of canal construction. It has been evident to the general public for some time and was doubtless known earlier to the few who were on tho Inside that the government experts who liavo been carefully Investigating tho canal problem really wanted tho United Stales to got hold of the Pun niiia route; and to that encr'shoutcd for tho Nicaragua route until tho Frquch corporation owning the Panama con cession was Induced to let go nt a bar gain sale figure. This, of course, was what some foreigners will call a "Yan kee trick," buf It was legitimate. Had the Frenchmen not -concluded to sell at a reasonable price, wo should have had no option but to take up the Nicaragua route and nfake the best of It. Either route, properly handled, would yield a good canal. We guess there Is no serious doubt of tills. JUit the su periority of tho Panama route became clearer the more carefully It was ex- . nmlned andj all that remains, if the house shall concur, will be for the president to satisfy himself as to the validity of the Panama company's title and then go ahead. Some doubt has been created on this scdre, but the pre ponderance of legal opinion is that the title is sufll'cicnt. The New York yellows displayed strange lack of characteristic enter prise in allowing tho alleged plot to as sassinate King Edward to be unearthed on the other side of the Atlantic. The Healthy View. B ISHOP THOBURN - returns from personal study of the Philippine situation an en thusiastic suppoYter of the administration's policy in (hose islands. This was shown by his recent testimony before the senate Philippine committee, and it is 'again evidenced by,a powerful article which lie has just contributed to Leslie's Weekly. iThe following ex tract from that article is unanswerable: "Senator Hoar no doubt correctly states the position of a large party when he proclaims the absolute doc trine that in all the practical affairs of the world wo must recognize the rule that 'just government can only be founded upon the consent of thevgov erned.' But It this doctrine is to be ac cepted absolutely, what are we to s.iy about our treatment of even the best of tht! American Indians'.' Do we ever consult them? Have wo ever consid ered their rights to independence'.' And yet vast portions of the Philippines are inhabited by tribes and races inferior to the Indians who used to roam over our Western prairies or contend for their fisheries and hunting grounds in New England. A rule that cannot bo applied successfully In the United States ought not to be urgently pressed upon our government as the only jU3t rule to 'be adopted in the case of the diverse peoples Inhabiting the Philip pines, ''The whole Filipino question is diffi cult enough at best", and ought not to be complicated by theories which have little or no application to the actual conditions which prevail in the Islands. Those islands came to us without our seeking, and cannot bo abandoned without our Incurring a responsibility for which coming ages will hold us re sponsible. It might be possible for the American government to set up a small Tugalog state on the island of Luzon, or possibly the island of Negros might bo made into a little Negrito Cuba. But there would bor no statesmanship In this kind of ptocedure, and not much assur ance of permanent success. The mani fest Ideal which should be kept In view is that of a civilized and Christianized republic, embracing the whole group of Islands and using English as tho official tongue in all' courts and legislative as semblies. English will displace Span ish In a very few years, and its use will become common in all cities unit largo towns, In India, natives edit mid pub lish dally newspapers In English, nnd tho people of the Philippines are. uulto as eager to acquire a correct use of tills universal tongue as tho people of India. '"But tho .absolute condition of pro gress In the Islands 1b pence, anil this can only bo secured and maintained ,by the strong arm of some European or American government, It has strange ly fallen to the lot of tho American people to assume this responsibility. No ono should become discouraged, either on account of the difficulties which confront our representatives in the Philippines or the magnitude of the task which wo liavo undertaken us a nation.

The following story Is told of a Ger man, who, after making a fortune as u saloonkeeper, decided to move out upon a small farm In the suburbs of Philadel phia. Soon after his change of residence, during n visit to tho city, he mot one of his former neighbors.

Several months after the neighbor pnld Mr. Schmidt n visit, and after supper they were sitting out upon the lawn, while little Yawcob was" busy making mud pies on the driveway. Suddenly Mr. Schmidt called out, "Yawcob!" "Veil, fader?" said Yawcob. "Nodding," said Mr. Schmidt, and, turning to his visitor, ho remarked: "You so he Is perllte; he always answers me mit reshpeck." Fiva minutes later the same test of Yawcob's politeness was made, with the same Mat tel Ing lcsult. "You see." observed the proud father, "I can gall so often as I blense, and he alvays rcblies mit resh peck." After another bilef spell of conversa tion the old gentleman again disturbed Yawcob in his amusement. Like a flash the boy turned nnd yelled out: "Vader, if you don't shut up, I'll hit you in do face." For a moment tho father was non plussed, but gi.idually a proud smile broke over his face as ho remarked! "You see, ho Ish shpunKy, too." Philadelphia Times. Private John Allen's New Story.

Ono night, in a Grand Army campflrc, he was reciting his valorous exploits, which by much repetition had grown considerably both In number and character. Ho told how in ono battle he had killed four rebels In hand-to-hand comli.it, and in another battle had slain six His recital, accompanied by tu pro fuse Kcstuie and a deep, rich German ac cent, elicited much enthusiastic applause. "But nt the close of his remarks a mod est little man in the icar of the hall, wealing a medal of honor, aroso end called attention to the fact that tho two battles the gentleman mentioned had oc ean ed on the same day, fifteen hundred miles iijiart. "This blow bade fair for a moment to stagger the doughty JCollenbaum; but he wns.pciual to the occasion. " 'My vrends," he shouted, 'comrades of de Grand Army, wo have a tarn rebel In our midst.
