Although Colombia and the new ly formed Republic of Panama have made considerable noise in the world of late, intriusically, under whatever names the fortunes of revolution have designated, they have so far counted for little in the world’s practical affairs. Mainly from a physical point of view there is much good reason for this, and now from changed political fortunes there is equall) good promise of a marvelous change for the better. From typographical causes, with out doubt the Isthmus of Panama is one of the most undesirable places to live on the face of the globe; and except that it offers fa cilities for the close linking of the commercial interacts of two hemi spheres it is a fair assumption that its changiDg autonomy would be of comparatively slight interest to civ ilized nations at the present time. Nature revels in such strength of exuberance on tbis narrow strip of land which connects the two West ern continents that civilization finds no adequate reward along the lines of usual extension. Opportunities for intensive effort in agriculture, commerce or manufacture are al most entirely lacking or are largely negatived by prevailing physical conditions, which encourage the most virulent diseases that plague mankind. Smallpox, malignant malaria, yellow fever,— these are all common, with the appearance now and again of diseases peculiar to Asiatic peoples, as the bubonic plague, leprosy aud cholera. These lacts have given to the Isthmus and adjacent territory an immigrant population peculiar unto itself. Underlying all civilized progress thus1 far in this region is the element of adventure dependent upon variant political fortunes, and the efficacy of schemo and intrigue, rather than legitimate industrial and commercial pursuits. Private ambition has been the dominant force behind every movement of a political character, and wherever men have been gathered together in considerable communities, absence of public spirit has made this un healthy and undesirable region even more irksome as an abiding place. In oither of the cities of consequence, abominable sanitation addB to the moral effectivnees of prevailing disease. As affairs have now shaped, there is every assurance that a wonderful change is about to be wrought. The building of the Isthmian water way through American agency will, as in Cuba and the Philippines, create an American atmosphere. There will follow knowledge of the American method of doing things, and appreciation of the benefits that will accrue therefrom. There was something done by the Frenchman when he was digging the inter- oceanic ditch. Hospitals were erect ed for the exclusive treatment of the laborers in the employ of the French company, but with these came extensive graveyards. The world is familsar with the assertion that the Panama railroad cost a hu man life for every tie, but it is safe to say that in the canal work now in contemplation American intelli gence will avoid such fearful mor tality. Admiral Walker, president of the Canal Commission, has given assurance but recently on that score. With the inauguration of canal construction, the people of the Isth mus should realize the dawning of a new era in all matters that pertain to the political and material welfare of that region. Except for Colom- bia, temporarily in the sulks, there is, without doubt, appreciation that their future is largely within the direction of their great North American neighbor, and that their faces are finally turned from the night of wretchedness and misrule to the dawning promise of modern achievement, through honesty, thrift and enterprise.— Evening Telegram. Save the Elk. Attention to the ruthless slaugh ter of elk in the Olympio peninsula, is being called none too early, and it is gratifying to know that drastic measures are to be taken to sup press the evil. While the Order of Elks has a decided interest in the preservation of this noble game, it is unfortunately true that the use of elk teeth as badges, has stimulated the wholesale destruction of elk simply for the sake of the teeth which could be obtaiued, and for which fancy prices would be paid. The Tacoma Lodge of the order is entitled to commendation in its offer to not only assist in policing the Olympic region, but in pledging it self to use no more elk teeth as em blems of the order, until the slaugh ter for the sake of the teeth shall be stopped. Thin action should receive the co-operation of all other lodges of the order, especially in this state. — Aberdeen Bulletin.
