the pit'dtiuts of intense factionalism
which led on both sides to heat and

ti v to do what lie pumices. Hut hae
wo any license to suppose that ills Im
pulses would lie better or his will (inner

would be tilled by his p.ut.; b l lie

Xo one has any light to expect per

However wotth.s Pattlson ina. bt as
,i in. in. all know that as politician lie
blows hot and told. He went with
Hi sail and ftee silver, not because he
believed that way, but for epetliencv's
sake, toi the sake of his own political
futuie. His backbone has no lion in
It. It is pliable like i libber. In talk
he is gie.it. but In work he goes with

Columbia Taking Chances.
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

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

Ppilmps some of ;,ou are brlcklavers or

But, again, the low tariff frpp tiade,
poor wagps Dpmociats tell you It Is

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

New York city and tho bioad prairies
of our Golden West.
The benellts, then, to woikeis under
