CHEERFUL NEWS FROM PANAMA.
' It is good news that comes up from
the Isthmus of Panama, this taking a
million cubic yards of dirt out of the
big ditch in the mouth, for It shows
that there Is something doing and
someone on the ground to do it, and
has a far more cheerful sound than
the stories Of change and reveisal and
'deterrent affairs, such as have mark
ed Its history for months and months
past
Man after man has been sent down
there with all the power and authority
that could be conferred by the very
government Itself to make the thing
go, and as often the man has been
tolled away by some brilliant and
seducing offer of fervlce In the camps
of the enemies of the great enter
prise, namely, the railway combines
of the country. They are the sole Im
pending forces that have dealt this
magnificent project tts most deadly
and potent blows, and they will 'con
tinue to hamper and baffle and delay
it until Its gates are thrown open to
the commerce of the world and the
glory of the suberb master-piece reets
where It belongs.
The President of the United States
shows his good sense In putting the
tremendous work In the hands of
simple- soldier, a man who was not at
the beck and call of every syndicated
: interest in the country, and who has
but his own splendid career to make
and his own merit and brain to found
It upon; it was a wise solution of one
of the most disgraceful muddles that
confronted the government, and It be
gins to look as though the work was
to be honestly and squarely accomp
llshed. The country Is satisfied with
results so far and the hope Is Justified
fnat there will be no more child's
play in connection with this gigantic
and Important scheme.
In default of anything strntghter or
more explanatory. We say Again that
the Oregonlan has known from , t)K

rankest sort, that It ha no houcm

noss.-s and stands tor the lust phti-w ot
a desppvato fight to maintain a false
position: and we ahull hold to tUelr
theory until the big paper comes to
the front wlih a detailed, able plott In
behalf of the measure that was
smuggled and brow-beaten through the
legislature of Oregon; and we re
serve our right to any in public print
what every man In . Clatsop county
says In private speech and what the
Oregonlan has not yet had the nerve
to say In this relation. That paper Is
very able and clean and what It aays
Usually has Immense weight all over
the state, but' It has never committed
itself to this wretched imposition, and
we do not believe It ever will. In the
meantime, It qualifies the ambiguity
by Indulging In a lot of Immaterial
stuff that we read well and committed
it to nothing whatever. 1

A TAME LECTURE.
The good old Oregonlan, In its Issue
-of Thursday last, read the Horning
Ajtorian a lecture on the proper con
servation of matters ot public Inter
est that were liable to reach the
courts on there way to the public and
we confess that' It read well: though
we are prone to resent the inference
that we are Indifferent to that courte
sey to the courts unually supposed
to be held by all newspaper men. We
are not unmindful of the rule that
prevails In this, behalf, but we are
something like the Oregonlan when it
has . cherished idea or project on
hand, we say what we think about it,
in and out of season, courts or no
courts. The truth of the matter is,
the homily -handed out by the great
paper up at the metropolis, was noth.
lng more nor less than a clever pretext
for avoiding an open expression as to
the validity or constitutionality of the
Port of Columbia law, and was clever
ly handed.
The matter is not before any court
in the land and is susceptible of the
broadest of public and private argu
ment: no one knows this better than
the Oregonlan, and no one itas better
sources of information on subjects of.
this sort than that same paper. It 1
of questionable timeliness or that the
discussion was a tacit Infraction of
the courtesy due a court dealing with
such a matter at bar, or that it was
calculated to .influence a legal opinion
or Judgment, either way, that the

Uignifled discourse. It was done be

Again the cry comes for help on the
farms. The new immigration com
