Tin: uirrnitAiiXATiox ot the government at Washington to ptoeeed with the con struction woik ot the Pana ma canal legal dlcss of the faltuic of the Colombian government to come to teni's will bo lieaitlly applauded. It doc not' mean that tho government at Washington uuestlous the sov ereignty of Colombia over the tcnltoty to be occupied by the canal, ruder the existing (oncesilou tiansfeued to the t'ulted States by the rietich Panama canal (onipauy consti notion woik can be pio.seouted for moie than a ear without Involving any dispute, In a year much may happen at Hogata and elsewheie to Induce the government of Columbia, to view tills immense piojoct In a moie llbeial fplilt. Tins picsent attitude of the Colombian government Is what was to have been expected. It piotends to be on Its dignity hemline the 1 'ulted States, in puisuaiue of tteaty lights, has lefused to pet mil mllitaiy Intel i option of tum ult by tail nomas (lie Isthmus: and It is also holding out tor an extoition ate pi Ice for tlie additional eonoesslous necesaiy to Insuie tho canal's peace Jul completion. It appeals to think that it has the fulled States at Its nieicy and can make all kinds of big money out of us, It may llnd that it Is mistaken. The canal Is an Internation al undei taking, piomislng gteatly to facilitate the world's conmieice. Colom bia is in the position of tlie obstinate farmer seeking to hold up u lailio.id t onipauy by blocking its light of way. While tlteio has pot et been lecognized an Intei national light of eminent do main by which tlie teultoiy of an oh sliuctlonlst of progress could be seized for wotld-wldo purposes pending an Intei national uppi.il.sal of damages, the best Judgmont of tlvlllzatloii would be likelv to demand the asset tlou and en foi cement of such a light should the Columbian government peislet In an attitude of obstinate peiveislty. We live In un nee of piogreaahe gov eminent. When old forms of law fall to lit Intoleiable new conditions they are apt to be changed. American In tel ventlon in Cuba might not have squared with Intei natlonol law, but It was appioved by the world's conscience and has been vindicated by results. Tlie president's Intcrventidn In the coal strike might not have been In ac cordance with precedent; In fact, It constituted a precedent, new and startling! but already lis wisdom has been vindicated In the approving Judg ment ot an overwhelming majority of those qjTceted. It does not appear from anything said or done at Washington that an application of this principle Ir contemplated with lespecl to Colombia, but the authorities of that country would be wise not to press upon Amer ican patience too far. . Speaking of Lynett's ppiiodlcal "boodle" oi y, It's a wonder ho wouldn't try to get off something original. Take No Chances. THIJ Washington Post nguios out ii Ilepubltcan majotlty or thirty In the next con st ess, We certainly hope that tlie Post Is conect. A Demociatlc mujoilty would be a national misfor tune, for wlille powerless to enact Democintlc policies It would deadlock the tidmlnlstiatlon and thiovv over tho fedetal government and over business nctlvltv a pall of suspense. Hut then Is only one way by which this danger can be avetted. It Is not safe to assume in advance that the He publlcans will have a majotlty. The thing to do Is to cieate the majoilty. Take nothing for grunted. Act just as though the battle were so close that one vote might decide It. In times of pros pet Ity some Republicans giow careless. They aie busy making money and when election day comes they nie prone to foiget to go to the polls and vote. They would kick themselves lieaitlly If as a result of this negligence a. Democratic majoilty should be recorded and pios perlty halted as Demociacy always halls It when clothed with power. Yet they never think of these things until It Is too kite. They cry over the milk of propeiltv after it has been spilt through their own apathy, when n little care at the light time would have pie seived It. Human luitine being us It Is, we can not change this disposition, but we can in some degiee safeguaid It. Let evpry earnest and wide-awake Republican be come a committee of one to look after the lukewaim and the careless. Don't put all the burden on the party pigan Izatlon, which has ttoubles of Its own. Take a hand in the matter yomself. Show a little patiloti.sni. Round up the habitual stay-at-homes and pull them out to vote. If you value your coun tiy's piospetlty, it will be well woith while. For u ihange, why don't the Demo crats stop shouting calamity and dis aster and tiy a campaign of sunshine and cheerfulness? in such tin event they might stand a show of winning some time or other. What the Demociats need moie than an ituue is a leader who does not be lieve that every man who has a dollar should be in the penitentiary, or that eveiy coi poi.it Ion, is a menace to the counli y. Theie is piobably one thing that can be said in favor of the marching Douk hobois who aie agitating the gieat noithwest. They do not talk politics. The X'ew York letail coal de.ileis seem to cue lots moie tor public opin ion than they did thiee or four weeks ago. (live tho common scolds of the Dem ociacy, tho vllltleis and defameis, a good ducking next Tuesday. They need It. Don't cioak. Get In the sunshine. Join tho inai ch to vletoiy of the p.uty of piosppilty. Set me elllelency and economy In counly business by le-electing Penman and Alotils. Voshuig has made a good Judge and the Demociats have enough." Hleet him. Pattlson can't get nway fiom the fait that he never lefouns after election. Tiled and tiue In councils; safe at llarilsbuig Joseph Oliver; elect him. Rebuke Lynett's un (lag lag by vot ing your Republicanism straight. IMicIe Sam should certainly do .some thing to i educe Colombia's chest. Common sense upholds Republican ism. Let well enough alone. In the Fouith dlstilct, Philbln and eillolenc). He owns himself. A'ote for Rvans and Williams and tit st class mine Inspection, A vote for John Scheuer Is a vote for lesults at Hntilsbuig, Don't oveilook Jot dan for senator. He's a uie winner, IMdle James did well his. lit. st tot in, Give him another. If ou would sustain Roosevelt, vote for Connell, THE POPULAR CANDIDATE. Fiom the Ctuuumlale Leader, William Connell will bo le-elcuted to congress on Tuesday next by an even grpater majority than mniked any of his othei campaigns. It Is fitting that such a recognition ho given of his splendid politic al letord. In all the yeais of his congressional caieer not a liuisli thing tan be said of his public a( lions, which weio always for the best Interests of the country and his dlstilct. lie luta worked eaily and late to advance every worthy cause Ihat was befote the. people and has been emhieutlj successful la all his ef foils. Ho bus the full confidence and ed teem of all his constituents who rcaUe whut he has accomplished and know whut, by leaiop of his lx years' cxpeil ence as a national lawmaker, lie will be able to accomplish In tho future. It Is no wonder, then, that voteis of all classes aiuf panics are rallying to Ida support In greater numbers than ever. Ho holds such a high position In the hearts of the people that even the itiong est partisan opponents concede his elec tion on Nov. i. Neither can the wisdom of the popular choice be denied for WIN Ham Council's re-election will materially assist the national administration In car rying out the Important projects that are Impending. President Roosevelt's hands must bo strengthened, to complete the great work he has commenced. High Tariff tfersds Low Tariff Wages For tho Trlbuno by Walter J. llallaid. IN THtS cnmnalnn Iho nun.stlnii thai I most vitally concerns wage-earners Is the preservation ot that protective tin Iff which has enabled us, since lis adoption In 1897, to find work every day and our pay every fortnight. You know what the low tnrlff of 1MI1 to 18S6 cost us Individually In tho matter of re duced wages. Do you want to face that calamity again? No, you answer, a thousand times no. Do jou want to risk a wugo scale such as picvalls In Gfceat urnam miner free trade? Hut volt may answer there Is ii. illtYprpnon between low tariff and free trntlo In many of our natural resources and many of your pro ducts, with low tailff on the rest of our long list of manufactures, and the entile fieo tiade of England. That Is true, but It Is equally true that the basis of wages Is supply and demand both In work and goods, and If our country Is again flooded as It would bo with goods made by the cheap labor nf Ruropp, tlip demand for goods of your make would bo lessened mid tho demand for iour labor would bo dccieascd, That Is an economic prop osition which Is as llxetl as the Rocky mountains, If Ruropp Is ppimlttcd to spud us elec tric appatntus and locomotives, tho de mand for your labor In making plectrlc apparatus and lornmotlves Is reduced by Just that much. Still our opponents may and probably will tell you that the wage scale ot Great Britain Is not as low as we hiako out. Let us put them right on that point. I will give you the compara tive flgiuc of wages the lowest rates prevailing hi this countiy and the stand aid highest rates pievalllng in Grout Brit ain, My authorities are the September. 1S98. and certainly our ratps hnvc not dp creaspd since then, bullptln of the IMil ted States department of labor, and the official report of the London chamber of commoiee, which T received only a week ago: United States.

Just think what It would mean to your families and ymii selves If our wages dropppd from $1 a day to one dollar and sity-eight cpnts a clay, or anything near that or you caipenters from three dollars to one llftv and so on through tho list of trades. Would you be able to buy the piano ou are thinking of buying for Jennie, or the bicycle for Jolmnv, oi the new silk dress with which ou purpose surprising vour wife on tlia annlveisary of .vour wedding day? But, again, the low tariff frpp tiade, poor wagps Dpmociats tell you It Is cheaper to llvo In Grpat Biitaln. T will admit that If you aie willing to live In the -way woik-people over tlieie live or rather exist, contenting yoursplvp.s with pooler food and clothes and housps or rather hovels, without any of the conven iences we have, you mny get along with less wages. But do u want to Hvp In that-way? Do ou want to be obliged to pay a fee each week for a poorpr education than your children get heio for nothing? Do you want ti be obliged to forPgo giving rour famllirs tlie benefit of easy minds while you are alive and pro vision aftei your death, which a life In surance policy affoids? Would you not lather that vour wages should not co below piesfut l.ttes so that tlie report! made lecently bv that eminent rrpncli scientist, Ptofessor Rmllr Levasseui, shall remain true wherein lie says; "Wages In, the United States aie about double the wages In Rmnpe; obleete of oi dlnary consumption (except dwelling houses) cost less in the cities of tlie Uni ted States than In those of Kiiiupp; the American woiklngman lives belter than the European, he eats mote substantially, dresses better, is more comfortably housed and more often owns his own dwelling, spends more for life lusiiiauee and vaiions sori.il and benellclal oigattl zatlons. mid ha", lu siiort. a miuh higher stantlaid In life than the Rtuopean woik lngman." Finthpr, the cost of most of the neep'sarles nf life nie not lowor In (?reat Biitaln than in the United Stales and some nie cheaper here. Bieatl, eggj, laid, bacon, hams, mutton, milk, sinieh and canned vegetables .lie no dealer heto than there; hosleiy, shirts and articles of men's wear are no deaiei; cm pets and flannels aie the same: Household ai tides, such us eaithenwate, glassvvuie and cutleiy, aie the same, while our furniture only costs us from one-llfth to one-half as much. We can buy a whole dining toom set for what they pay for a dining room table of tlie same grade. But away and bevond these meip inone taiy consldeiatlons Is the broad, luvlg oialjng, energizing statement nf Piofes sor Levussetir, that the American stand aid of life Is higher, It is hlgliei, fai hlfelmi tho tllffpiPiice Is as great as be tween the eiow (led tenement stieets of New York city and tho bioad prairies of our Golden West. The benellts, then, to woikeis under protection are more woik. higher wages, morn of the comfoits of life, and a higher scalp of cllbenshlp. The-o aio valuable THE CRANE STORE.
