ifths or the commerce which viii pass through
the canal win be of the domestic trade Of the
United States, and the demand of so great an
imposition upon it for the benefit Of foreign
Power whose only title to the claim is its dog
in-the-manger position, held simply through the
forbearance Of other Powers, should not be en-
tertained for moment by the government Of
the United States. The demand for ten per cent
Of the tolls is sufficiently impudent, and is all
that the country viii be disposed TO submit to.
There is one other point in the treaty which
is worthy Of notice. We trust that the ad-
vantages which the government is to conoede
TO the enterprise in the preliminary survey,
location and military protection of the work will
not be made to inure solely to the benefit of
some close corporation located in the vicinity Of
Wall street. twill require very large amounts
of capital to construct this immense work, and
no closed body Of corporators should be per-
mitte6 to attain the control Of it and work all
applications Of capital to it to their special
benefit through the many and keen shaving
measures known to Wall street financiers.
Every possible inducement that can be held
out to aid the subscription should be extended,
and the skilful taxation of lobby jobbers must
be avoided. We wish to promote the con-
struction of the canal, but not the contrivance
of job, either for the petty manipuiators of
Bogota or the giant ones Of New York.

Tenement Houses In New York.

An opportune and valuable paper on
''Model Lodging Houses" was read by Mr..
Charles Brace on Thursday at the meeting
Of the Social Science Association in Albany.
Mr.. Brace exposed, with alarming minuteness,
the condition Of the crowded tenement houses
in New York, 'sin which lurk poverty, disease
and death" He stated that in this city there
are fifteen thousand tenement houses, occupied
by four hundred and eighty thousand persons.
This gives one hundred and ninety-two thou
sand population to the square mile-an average
much higher than that of the worst district of
London, and nearly double that Of Manchester.
''Such overcrowding," he added, "creates
indecency and prostitution, breeds crimes Of
all sorts, supplies opportunities for conceal
ment of criminals and gives rise to an exceed
ingly high death rate" Mr.. Brace alluded to
the difficulty of persuading owners of real
estate that 1t will pay to construct houses Of
suitable character for the poor, and to the
fact that the public advantage does not cease
with the actual erection Of such houses, but
that these same houses exercise considerable
influence for good by leading those living in
the neighborhood to improve their own homes.
He gave an account of the operations of .
large company started in London by Sir Sydney
Waterloo for the sole purpose of building i'm
proved dwellings for the poor-seven hundred
and seventy-three tenements having already
been erected, capable of containing eight thou
sand families-and of the less successful efforts
Of tho Emperor of the French to start model
lodging houses in Paris. He concluded by
earnestly recommending that three or four
model lodging houses should be erected in New
York on the English system. We are glad to
learn that Mr.. A. 7. Stewart and other great
capitalists have already matured extensive
plans for building q number of such houses.
They will certainly be thus entitled to the
honors Of public benefactors.

In the House, yesterday, member OF the Finance

without precedent or authority Of law; that the
amount did not pass through the treasury and was
not drawn therefrom IN the usual way and the FIRST

Rules for the Safe Keeping Of Prisoners.
The Judges Of the Court of General Sessions
have appointed Henry McCloskey captain of
the court squad, and have promulgated set
of just and reasonable rules for the safe keep
ing Of prisoners. The captain Of the Court of
Sessions having charge Of the officers shall
detail sufficient number at the City Prison
every morning at ten o'clock to convey the
prisoners to be tried or arraigned for trial to
the court. 1t shall be his duty to personally
inspect all prisoners before leaving their place
of custody and ascertain whether there be any
weapons upon them or implements which
might facilitate escape, and. If so, to take
charge of the same. No one officer to convey
more than two prisoners from the court at any
one time, and such prisoners to be securely
handcuffed. No prisoner to be taken from the
court until after its adjournment, except by
special order of the court. No officer, on pain
of dismissal, to allow any prisoner while in
his custody to enter any house or barroom.
Two officers to be stationed outside the court
room door to keep the passage way leading to
the court clear; and no person or persons to
be permitted to stand on the stairs leading to
the court. These rules are followed by others
in consonance with them. Recent very dis
graceful proceedings have shown how indis-
pensable as well as how reasonable they all
are, and we trust that they will be rigidly
enforced

Tho Darien slip Canal Treaty.


We published yesterday the treaty recently
negotiated by Mr.. Cushing at Bogota with the
republic of Colombia for the construction of
the Darien Ship Canal, and we now propose
to examine its stipulations and their bearings.
Should auy of these be found to operate as
hindrancc to the construction of this great
work, it will be the plain duty Of our govern
ment to return the treaty to that of Colombia,
with an intimation that the nominal authority
IL exercises over the Isthmus of Darien will
nos be permitted to hinder the construction of
an enterprise which Is daily becoming more
important to our commerce and our needs.
The treaty provides as follows.
The United States is to make the survey
and locate the canal at its own cost, within
three years after the exchange Of ratifcations,
and these are to be exchanged at Bogota
within twenty months from the l4th Of Janu-
ary; it is to protect the construction with
military force, which is not to exceed one
thousand men, without the consent Of Colom-
bia; to control it. with it's appendages, after
wards, and to establish the tariff of tolls ON q
basis Of equality for all nations. The republic
Of Colombia grants all public lands in belt
ten miles wide on each side Of the canal,
which are to be divided into lots having .
frontage Of three thousand three hundred
yards on the canal, which are to be assigned
alternately to the United States and to Colom-
bia; and II further agrees to make no grant
for any other canal or railway across the 18TH
mus without the consent Of the United States
1t is also stipulated that the canal shall be
closed to national belligerents; that both par
ties will unite in endeavoring to obtain from
other nations guarantee Of the neutrality of
the canal; that Colombia shall impose no tolls
on ships and goods passing through the canal,
and that the United States government may
devolvo by law It's rights upon any citizen or
association Of citizens. In addition to these
conditions the following stipulations are made
In favor Of Colombia AFTER twelve years
operation of the canal Colombia Is to receive
ten per cent OF the net profits; after the origi-
nal expenditures shall have been reimbursed,
without interest," twenty-five per cent Of the
profits are TO 90 to Colombia, and after the
Term Of one hundred years tho entire works
revert to her.
We regard the Darien Isthmus Canal as one
Of the greatest enterprises Of the age, re-
quiring the exercise of the highest skill, the
expenditure Of thousands Of lives and OF hun
areds Of millions Of treasure In its construc-
tion. These Of themselves win involve the
imposition Of heavy tolls on the commerce
passing through IL. The demand that these
tolls shall be increased one-third for the ben
eft Of mongrel republic, the prey Of periodi-
cal revolutions, and which is not able 70 con-
