Our latest adyices from France give renewed
assurances of the maintenance of law and
order. President MacMahon having an
nounced his policy to be ''resolutely conserva-
tive" and having the army and the active
business classes OF the people at his back, will
doubtless be able to maintain things as they
are while he holds majority in the existing
Assembly. How long he will hold majority
in that uncertain body is the delicate question.
We have report through the London
Times that the French government president
MacMahon) has resolved to adopt the free
trade policy. and also to reduce the military
expenditures This report however, may be
conjectured as a departure from the protec-
ZIONIST policy Of President Theirs and his
heavy expenditures for the army, which will
be well received by the French people. 1t
will be remembered that Theirs was SO stub
bornly resisted by the Assembly in the matter
of his protective policy that it was only by
threatening to resign that he carried his point
MacMahon may therefore think that some
thing will be gained by his government on
falling back upon the popular free trade pol
icy of Napoleon the Third, and in making up
his resulting revenue deficiency by army re-
trenchments. "NOuS UeYvOns."
AT Rome MacMahon is heralded as a har-
binger Of peace for France, while at Berlin
the prevailing opinion appears to be that the
old hero who went down at Sedan with the
Empire will rise in the character of General
Monk in behalf Of legitimist restoration in
France. The wish in this case, however, is
evidently father to the thought We dare say
that the honest soldier in this case will prove
equal to all emergencies in carefully avoiding
any hasty step for the defnitive proclamation
of the monarchy, which, in vote of this un-
certain Assembly, may displace him as sud-
denly as the ''interpellation" for the defnitive
establishment of the Republic displaced the
too confident President Theirs

The Alabama Claims Payment-Last
Kick of John Bull.

AIck Oh Jonn NULL
The British House of Commons, while occu-
pied on Monday night in Committee Of Sup
ply, took up the item for the payment of the
Alabama award, which, as a matter of course,
called forth remarks from the opposition.
The item, however was agreed to, though we
are not informed by what vote. Mr. Bentinck,
in opposing the appropriation, declared that
the government policy on this Alabama claims
question had been humiliating and degrading.
This talk was simply for party effect and to
crafty the grumbling propensity of John
Bull. Had Mr.. Bentinck been in Mr.. Glad
stones place he would, probably, have acted
much as the Premier has all through this bust
ness. Even Mr.. Gladstone felt the necessity
of saying something to soothe the wounded
pride of Englishmen and money loss to Eng
land, and made the remark, which was alto
gether irrelevant and uncalled for, that the ad-
vancement of the indirect claims by the Ameri-
can government was a gigantic error The
language used in this debate we may consider
the last kick of our burly relative before pay
ing over the Alabama award, and, perhaps,
the final one over this case.

NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION
National Agricultural Convention assemblies
at Indianapolis to-day. We trust its de-
alterations will have more practical effect
than distinguished those of the late Governors
Convention at Atlanta, and the Congressmen's
Convention at st. Louis. We suppose that at
the Convention to-day the whole question that
has been agitating the farmers of the West
and South, and led to the organization of
those formidable Oranges" with their hun
dreds of thousands of adherents, will be gone
over, and some standpoint taken against the
encroachments of the railway monopolies, the
oppressive features Of the tariff and the general
subject of reform and economy in the admins
tration of our national affairs We shall, how
ever, judge Of the merits of this Agricultural
Convention by its acts.

historically, where the Atrato River enters it,
that the first European settlement in South
America was established. in 1909. The pro-
posed route lies also in the most favorable
location for sailing vessels using the trade
winds and currents of the Atlantic to make
their westward voyage, and in this respect it
has some advantages over the rival routes by
Nicaragua and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
The cost of the Atrato Canal, at q liberal
estimate, will not exceed, it is said. seventy
million dollars, which is the lowest calcula-
ton ever made for an interoceanic canal
Taking into consideration the enormous ad-
vantages and profits that would result from
the operation of q ship thoroughfare at Da-
rien, this sum is not high or appalling. If
undertaken as an international work, by the
maritime nations, the outlay would hardly be
felt, but the benefits and returns would be
most sensible and incalculable. The Croton
aqueduct, with its sub-aqusduct, dams and
reservoirs and accessory works, was built at a
cost exceeding forty millions, or more than
ope-half Of the entire estimated cost of the
Darien water way. The canals and artificial
lakes of ancient times on the Euphrates, the
twenty aqueducts of Rome, that once brought
water across the Campagna, over many thou
sand arches, extending from thirty to sixty
miles (three of which now amply supply mod
ern Rome), and numerous mighty works OF
former period, which far exceeded in point of
costliness our isthmian ship canal rebuke
our boosted progress and civilization for their
hardness in piercing the thin and fragile bar
rier which now separates the two great oceans.
The canal is fast becoming the great desider-
alum Of intercontinental, as it must necessa-
rily be, Of interoceanic transit and transpor-
tation. In view of the transcendent impor-
lance of q canal at Darien, we may cherish the
hope that no time will be lost in maturing the
plans and perfecting the estimates, in order
to place the whole matter before the next Con-
gress for serious and decisive action.

The Governments After the Union Pa
cihO Railroad.


When debtor owes the round sum Of
thirty-three and half million of dollars, with
no prospect of payment, and is running deeper
in debt all the time, it is natural to suppose
the creditor would be alarmed and be looking
out sharply for the assets. This is precisely
the case with the United States government
and the Union Pacific Railroad. Hence the
Attorney General, through his representative,
has brought complaint and bill in equity
against the Union Pacific Railroad Company
and its offspring and partner, the Credit Mo-
bilier of America, stating all the facts, claims,
delinquencies and individuals concerned in
the gigantic swindle It is curious and
sharp document and reveals the names of
numbers of persons, among whom are many
very prominent in business and public lite,
who were paricipators in the stupendous grab.
1t is not necessary to recapitulate the charges
brought against the parties, for we published
them in full yesterday. The term '1raudu-
lent is frequently used to designate their
conduct. This legal paper is brief and con-
else history Of the transactions by which the
government. and public have been feeced of
thirty three and half millions already, with
a prospect of suffering to much greater ex-
tent. The company is declared in a bankrupt
condition and utterly unable to pay its obliga-
tons or even to keep up its work. Is it not
time, then, for the government to take posses
sion of the property and save what it can?
1t has begun vigorously, apparently, and we
hope it will 60 on SO till final and just settle
ment shall be made with the Union Pacific
the Credit Mobilier and all who have been
concerned in this greatest fraud of the time.

We have advices from our correspondent at
San Antonio, Texas, down to the Goth inst,
which state that General Mckenzie reached
Fort Clark with his command and prisoners
last Wednesday; that the prisoners (Kicka-
poos) were forwarded en- route to San Antonio
on Thursday, guarded by company of cav
airy that the excitement on the Mexican
side of the Rio Grande ran high when the
news was received of McKenzie's bold move
ment, and great was the indignation among
the 'greasers" that large armed force was
improvised and couriers sent to the interior
towns calling for volunteers to intercept
Mckenzie, but he was 100 quick in getting
back from the ''sacred SOIL of Mexico with
his Kickapoo prisoners and their plumber;
that the Indians over the river were in fear
full state of agitation, threatening vengeance
to residents on the Texas side; that our cti-
zens in exposed positions on the border were
in consequence removing their families, but
that our troops now cover the most important
fords Of the dividing stream. It is generally
felt, too, among our border people that Gen.
eral Mckenzie wholesome lesson to thieving
Mexicans as well as Kickapoos gives assur-
ance of full protection.
Better still, it appears that Generals
Fanchon, Rodriguez, and other leaders among
the Mexicans on the frontier, are exercising
their influence to keep the peace, not only
advocating the right of the United States
troops to cross the river after hostile Indians,
but actually favoring the cooperation of the
Mexican forces with them when attacking
such Indians on Mexican territory. This in
telligence is confirmed by despatch from
General Augur, in Texas, to General Sheridan,
at Chicago, which says that the Mexicans on
the border (meaning, doubtless, officers of
the army and civilians in authority are well
pleased with the punishment given the
Kickapoos by Mckenzie. General Augur fur
Their says that the remainder of the Kickapoos
(the main body of the tribe still in Mexico)
threaten retaliation, but that "we are ready
for them, if they come" 1t is gratifying to
know that the Administration assumes the re-
sponsibility of McKenzies act, and that the
President is determined to enforce the OBJ
servance of law on the Rio Grande. His
position, as explained in our Washington
despatch, is well defined. The Kickapoos and
Lipans will be exterminated with, it is hoped,
the approval Of Mexico; but exterminated
anyhow.
This is cheering news, though it comes very
late; for we have every year. from time to
time, for the last five, six or seven years. been
hoping for and urging ''short, sharp and
decisive plan of operations against these
marauders in Texas-Indians or Mexcans-
from the other side of the river. We expect
now, rs there should be, speedy settlement
of these border disturbances, with or without
the consent of Mexico.

cious explorers for a transoceanic canal route
we may congratulate the country and the Self
triumphant researches.
The line now marked out by Captain Self
ridge wholly lies in the territory of the United
States of Colombia and passes through the
Atrato Valley, which bears geologic evidence
of having been once on arm of the sea. As
cending the Atrato (Which is broad stream
from one thousand to fifteen hundred feet in
width and from twenty-eight to sixty feet deep
in the channel, as far as it would be required
for ship navigation), the proposed canal would
enter the Napipi River valley and thence by
one of its upper tributaries, the Doguado,
strike to within o few miles of the Pacific
beach, making total length of less than
thirty miles. The Napipi yalley-the second
in importance as connecting link in the
great highway-runs through the hills Of
Northwestern Colombia, where the Andean
chain is almost interrupted, and along the
SUBMITS which overlook it may be found
healthy localities swept by pleasant breezes
from the ocean and cooled by numerous noun
tain streams. Such region would furnish o
good base of operations for the labor force

struction Of the canal. The Doguado is the
last link in the chain Of isthmian commune
cation, and appears to have the greatest ad-

A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. percept-
i've faculty of women is usually keener
than the same chronological organ in
men. Woman knows that beauty rather
than genius is worshipped by the stern

of the latter to his lady love, but the
keenness of the woman knows that he
is thinking of the former in his heart.
All women have an innate desire to
please their beau1. They are fond of
admiration, hence one of their Iongings
is to be beautiful. The grand secret of
female beauty is health-the secret of
health is the power to eat, digest and
