Crank, Notary Public. re The Panama canal resolution, restating the Monroe doctrine, met with unexpected resist- ‘ance in the Senate on Saturday. Objections ‘were made to the form of the resolution, to the short time allowed for considering it, and by forme Senators to the substance of the proposed legislat on the ground that the Monroe penser Pst exclusively to political influence and interference by European govern- ments in America, and not to connection by them with an American commercial enterprise. A struggle over @ declaration of this kind is unfortunate, as it tends to destroy the effect of the expression of opinion, even though the declaration is ultimately made. The occasion seems to call for an assertion of the national jealousy of foreign interference in the affairs of this continent. The French government recognized that its direct participation in the construction and control of the Panama canal would be hostile to the traditional policy of the United States, and when the canal was begun it disavowed any intention to interfere. It has re- cently refused to make the enterprise a national one. But the question whether France shall undertake to complete the canal has become to some extent a French political issue, and a strong party declares in favor of such action. ‘The nature of the declaration which the United States may make at this time will have great influence upon French action. The question is not whether the United States shall permit or refuse to permit the Panama canal to be dug, but whether the work of completing the canal shall be attempted by France as a government instead of by Frenchmen as individuals. If the declaration of the United States is firm and in the line of its previous utterances, not France, but another company, represent- ing largely French capital, will take the place of the bankrupt concern. The suggestion that the Monroe doctrine has reference to political and not commercial interference neglects the consideration that governmentsare constituted for political, not for commercial enterprises, and that any interference by them comes to be political. If France as a government spends national money in building acanal across the Isthmus, she will as a nation follow and protect that expenditure. Any control which may be secured for this pur- pose over the place of construction will be ne- cessarily political, and any action by France in the direction ef such control will necessarily be political action. The failure to make sub- tantially the declaration proposed by the pend- ing resolution will not only encourage foreign governments to contend for control of the Isthmian canal, but it will establish a bad pre- cedent by indicating that the old jealousy of European political interference with the affairs of this continent is dying out. The United States ¢annot afford to have the artificial waterway connecting its Atlantic and Pacific slopes under the control of a foreign government, a great naval power, nor can it with safety, the future withdraw from the policy, hostile to foreign interference, hitherto de- elared. SEU This week will bring nearly all the senatorial contests to a conclusion. In but two states can anything like a foregone conclusion be ex- pected. Senator Hoar in Massachusetts and Senator Manderson in Nebraska are assured of reelection. In little Delaware and unhappy West Virginia there is greater commotion over the election of successors to Senators Saulsbury and Kenna than the people of those states have witnessed for many years. In North Carolina and Tennessee two old and able public servants are threatened with retirement by combina- tions of ambitious statesmen who believe in ro- tation in office. Out in Minnesota one of the contests peculiar to that state is in progress, its fate all depending on the holding of a caucus. If there should be no caucus there is sure to be @ dead lock, and, in thatevent, neither Senator Sabin nor his chief opponent, Mr. Washburn, of the famous family of public men, is likely to win, but some lesser candidate, like Ignatius Dannelly, who has laid aside his literary labors to divert himself with politics. The result of the week's elections will effect few changes in ‘the personnel of the Senate. ——————— ‘Mr. Stilson Hutchins has sold the morning Post to Mr. Frank Hatton and Hon. Beriah Wilkins, and the evening Post will resume the mame of the Critic, with Mr. Hallet Kilbourn again at the helm. Mr. Hutchins has shown fine qualificatiois for journalism in the suc- cessful establishment of the Post, but he now ecides to relinquish the newspaper business ‘to attend to other important business interests, ‘The Post falls into good hands. Mr. Hatton is known as @ brilliant and capable journalist, and Mr. Wilkins as an energetic and successful business man. Mr. Kilbourn has a warm place in the hearts ef the public as a thorough good fellow and as # zealous and intelligent advocate of District interests, and everybody will be glad to see him back at the head of the bright Critic. $a ‘The usefulness of the signal service in fur- ishing accurate meteorological history, if not prophecy, was well illustrated last Wednesday night, when the bureau wires brought from all parts of the land the wonderful news that neither rain nor snow had fallen that day in any part of the country. Twenty years ago such a phenomenon might have occurred twenty times a month, but we should never have had the slightest knowledge of it. When members of Congress reflect that many generations of weather grum- blers have gone down to their graves ignorant of the possibility of fair weather from ocean to ocean, they should feel a kindness for the sig- nal service—especially when appropriations for the bureau are under consideration, Tr ‘The heroism of Robert McWade, of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, in rescuing four lives from death in the flames of his burning I the applause of the. whole THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., MONDAY, JANUARY 7, THERE ARE SALES IN PROGRESS ON OUR SECOND AND THIRD FLOORS—BE- GINNING WITH THIS MORNING AND CON- ‘TINUING ONLY UN1ILSATURDAY NIGHT CAMBRIC AND MUSLIN UNDERWEAR FOR NEXT-WHICH DEMAND YOUR IMMEDI- ATE ATTENTION.
