"KINO CUTIS. '
Some of the si.ili papers are trying
to make political capital out of the
fact that legislator who refusal to
go into caucus In past years are now
anxious that the seljctton of a rniied
States senator shall be made in this
manner. The Oregonlan fails to dis
cern w herein the caucus is at all limes
effectual. Insisting that the Weal cau
cus, as it exists in theory, is at times
put completely out of business through
Is not difficult to account for the
vag.iries of the caucus method that has
long ben held up as the regular te-publb-an
method of doing business. To
begin -with, a man's friendship for a
senatorial candidate will -prompt him
to abandon all .sorts of precedents, nor
can e be blamed for doin? so. Our
state legislatures are, in the main.made
up largely of the same men, year after
year. Three or four terms in the legis
lature usoilly suffice to commit a man
to certain friendships and policies, and
nil the usages of politics will rot
change his sentiment. Thus, where a
caucus will prove of benefit t8 a legis
lator's fhoiee for senator Tre And him
advocating that method of selecting a
senator; and at the rest session, when
a caucus would tend to injure the can
didate of his choice, we find him op
posed to It. Political usages will not
overcome human nature.
Under ordinary irenistances, w here
there are two or more worthy sena
torial aspirants, the caucus method of
settling the matter meets v.ith satis
faction. It does away with the pub
licity that would otherwise attend the
fight, and which usually proves so
harmful to the Interests of the domi
nant party. The caucus also serves to
give the minority a check on the ma
jority. If, for instance, the majority
faction of a party should favor the
election of a ;orruptionist, or man who
was a recognised opponent of the peo
ple's Interests, but who could urduly
secure the support of the majority, the
minority faction could prevent his elec
tion by refusing to go into caucus.
But the caucus is not necessarily a
precedent that will always be followed,
and it Is not, as the Oregonian points
out. suprising to note that legislators
who favor it at one session will oppose
It at another. It is a practice that is
rendered operative or inoperative by
the exigencies of the case.
Coincident with the efforts of the co
lonial government of Newfoundland to
negotiate a trade treaty w ith the Unit
ed States that would let their fish pro
ducts in here free of duty are various
announcements as to the intention of
the Fritish admiralty to establish a
"naval nursery" among the insulilr col
onists: In fact, two years ago the policy
was entered upon of putting the New
foundland fishermen onto his majesty's
warships for navil Instruction. Great
Britain has now decided to build up
among these islanders not only a
powerful naval reserve for emergencies
but a training school from which the
admiralty will draw regularly "blue
Jackets" for manning her warships. At
St. Johns she will station a warship
permanently, and she is preparing to
fortify that coast-town like Halifax
and Bermuda. This movement, it is
reported, is extremely popular in the
colony, and the young men in the fish
ing vllnges are eager to join the re
serve. The prospect is an attractive
one to thoe doomed to the monotony
and lon-llness of those "outposts" from
childhood, and the chances of seeing
a bit of the great world from the d; ck
of a British warship, as w ell as of con
tributing In some degree to the patri
otic colonial revival of the last two or
three years, form the chief Incentives
to a large enrollment. All this inevit
ably recalls the old time prestige of the
United States navy, when the crews of
ur ware raft were almost without ex
ception composed of American sailor
men and fishermen. And, later on,
the government for many years paid
hberal bounties to sailors engaged In
the fisheries in order to always have a
cempitte quota of expert seamen from
which to man her warships. The
chaafft from sailing craft to naval ves-'
sels with steam power may have had
something to do with the final aban
donment of that wive-policy; but ;hv
result has been deplorable, no matter
what the cause, to many feature In
our naval service.
It Is not eayW explain on rational
and creditable grounds the hesitation
of Colombia to accept the terms pro
posed by the United States for the con
struction of the Panama canal. W
mav assume without doubt that Colom
bia wants the canal. Indeed it is not
easy to name anything she wants more.
We may also assume that she realises
th't if shti ever gets the canal It must
be constructel and controlled by the
United States. That should If made
plain hy the diplomatic, mia'ulal and
Industrial history f the last score of
years. Again. Colombia must jiereeive
that the I'uited States Is far more Inde
pendent of her than she is of the Unit
ed States; for she cannot get a canal
without tUe United States, while 'he
United Slates can get a canal without
Colombia. The logical conclusion
from these premises Is that Colombia
should in her own Interest make haste
to agree with the United States, even
though the latter's offer were not as
generous or even as fair as she bad
hoped.
