INGE, TEXAS, NOV. 6, 1t03.
fo ''.I '
PANAMA REVOLUTION.
Ü
The expected has happened, and,
seemingly, just In the nick of time.
The people of Panama have declared
their State a free and Independent
one and backed the assertion up with
blows. They have done precisely the
correct thing. They have declared
their Independence of Colombia and
are prepared to maintain It by force
of arms. They are now In possession
of the local government and the Unit-
ed States is rushing warships to Colon
to stop the Colombian government
vesse Ik from shelling that town.
The people of Panama have only
done what they have a perfect right
to do. They were forcibly deprived
of their Independence by Colombia
and are simply reasserting the rights
of which they were despoiled.
The time chosen for this demonstra-
tion is peculiarly significant. The spe-
cial session of Congress convenes on
the ninth of the current month and
the Panamans wish by this action to
delay the consideration of the Nica-
ragua route. They see ruin ahead for
their State if the United States falls
to take hold of their canal and they
are determined, If fighting will do It,
to secure the money and other advant-
ages offered by the Hay-Herran treaty.
The Panamans know that It Is the
intention of Benattor Morgan to re-
open the discussion of the Nicaraguan
question at this session of Congress
and they wish to be in a position to
have their friends reply to that argu-
ment by the statement that there Is
"still a prospect for the Isthmian route
There is hardly a question that the
revolution will be a success. It will
be backed, secretly If not openly, by
the people of the United States. If
the revolutionists are In need of men
and mpney, they will be forthcoming.
They already have guns and ammu-
nition to supply 30.000 men, and each
of these 30,000 will know every foot
of the Panama country. Colombia
can only put 50,000 men in the field,
and they will have to Invade Panama
and fight the revolutionists on their
own ground. She has no money and
practically no credit. She cannot fur-
nish the finances necessary to prose-
cute the war for even a few weeks.
A few thousand men with American
officers can maintain the Independ
ence of Panama against twice their
number of Colombians and the Ameri-
cans will be forthcoming as they were
when Dole seized the Hawaiian gov-
ernment. '
The United States will recognize
the Independence of Panama, just as
she recognized Dole's flagrant, steal of
Hawaiian's liberties. That wan a
cut and dried scheme and It is prac
tlcallv certain that the United States
/•••Is secretly In collusion with the peo-
ple of the South American State. Co-
lombia is threatened by Venezuela and
- should the least occasion therefor
will have to fight that country
as well as Panama. She has her
hands full with internloine strife and
all this tends to make plain sailing for
ma. 4 f

cessor, "President Harrison, and

rison sent them to Hawaii, land them
for the protection of the
transit route and, by allowing them
get entangled with Colombia, give
opportunity of joining the In-

Mr. Mhrkham
of the Railroad Commieelo¿ In sup-
port of his contention that many
these damage suits are worked up by
Interested lawyers who are governed
by a desire for fees, that the preju-
dice of the Jurors against corpora-
tions is appealed to and that the ex-
cessive awards made to claimants of
damages for personal Injuries comee
out of the pockets of the people by
whom the railroads are supported,
because, after all, the people pay the
freight Indirectly If not directly. The
language of the Railroad Commission
quoted by Mr. Markham Is In part
as follows:
"While we have no official informa-
tion showing the cause of this great
increase, we understand in a general
way that it presumably results In a
large degree from the activities of
regularly organized personal injury
bureaus. The only direct interest
which this commission has In this
question grows out of the fact that
as the amount of these payments is
increased, the available revenues of
the railroad companies are" reduced!
thus necessarily operating to that ex-
tent to prevent the reduction of
freight rates, or it may be to cause
an Increase of them."
The responsibility of the railway
companies for personal Injuries In-
flicted cannot be disputed, and there
will be general compliance with the
contention that the victims of hurts
arising from any cause for which the
company may properly be held re-
sponsible should recover damages in
an amount commensurate with the
merits -of the demand made. It is
the "fake damage suit" In which the
claim for damages Is without merit,
in which the railway company is
mulcted by the undeserving and the
excessive Judgments that are out of
all proportion to the equities of the
case of which Mr. Markham com-
plains. and to this extent it must be
admitted that he has the best of the
argument.
There Is no more reason to approve
the robbery of a railway corporation
than to approve the robbery of an In-
dividual, even though It be done
under legal forms.—San Antonio ex-
press.

a half throw a boot-jack end a half at

George S. Bruce, with the passenger
department of the Southern Pacific
railroad, sees a great future for Best
Texas as a result of the demonstra-
tion that the finest tobacco In the
world can be grown in that territory.
In an interview with a reporter of the
New Orleans Picayune he Is quoted
as saying: "it Is my mission to go
to Ohio and convince the tobacco
growers of that State that the cigar
leaf grown In Eastern Texas. Is all
that It Is claimed to be. If the Gov-
ernment experiments are not suffici-
ent, I have enough of the real Texas
product with me to convince the most
skeptical that Texss holds a great fu-
ture In tobacco. It Is my aim to con-
vince the Ohio growers that the com-
ing opportunity, as far as the weed Is
concerned, lleB in the Lane Star State.
With the stimulation of the Govern-
ment experiments and the efforts of
the immigration department of the
Southern Pacific, I believe there will
be a rush to the tobacco lands great-
er than that to the Beaumont oil
fields, for the profits to the small as
well as to the large planter will be
greater than that dertved by the Stan
dard Oil company In proportion to the
capita! invested. There Is a ready
market because of the scarcity of sup-
ply, and the facilities for producing
the best tobacco grown are perfect."
