STEAM NAVIGATION ON CANALS
Although it is not known that the $780,
600 prize offered by the state will be
awarded to either of the steam canal
boats engaged in the recent trial, it ap.
pears from the official report of their per-
formances, which has just been published,
that steam navigation on the canals is not
only possibility, but it is certain to be
attained in a short time. With the in
creased speed, and consequent saving oi
time which would be gained by the intro
duction of this motor, much will have
been done to solve the transportation
problem in our favor. York Times

WHETHER or no all women are fitted
for all vocations, there is no doubt that
some women are equal to almost any de-
gree of enterprise A woman lately
appeared in Toledo who had BY industry
and close attention to business succeeded
in accumulating four husbands. There is
no telling where she would have stopped
in her victorious career if some meddling
person had not invoked the interference
of the law and stopped her.

The London Press ON Grants MESSAGE.
LONDON, December As A. M.--The
Times, in a leader on President Grants
message, says: "The excessive privileges
in regard to freedom from search claimed
for vessels bearing the American flag would
confer immunity on an open pirate. Such
pretensiOns are indeed short-sighted for
mercantile nation.
"We cannot for moment believe Con-
gress will adopt the suggestion to prohibit
national banks from paying interest on de-
posits. We do not agree with the PreSi-
dents financial remarks generally, and
think he is wrong in attributing the recent
troubles to the peculiar character of the
currency. The advice to resume specie
payments would be more satisfactory if
the President told the country how to do
it.n
The article praises the message for its
moderation of tone in general, and on the
Cuban question particularly. England
will unreservedly support the policy which
requires that Spain must really as well as
nominally control Cuba.
The Daily News says the Presidents
message concerning the Virginlus affair is
moderate and dignifed.
The Daily Telegraph sees in the de-
mand for the abolition Of slavery in Cuba
menace which will greatly increase the
difficulties of Castelar's situation.
The Standard thinks the only result that
threats against Spain will have, will be to
hinder an adjustment.

INTEREST ON MONEY. The Richmond
correspondent of the Petersburg Appeal
and Index, noticing the fact that the
new members Of the house of delegates
propose, at the ensuing session, to make
g per cent. the legal rate of interest in
Virginia, sarcastically observes: 'tThat
will be very nice indeed. The price of
money here now ranges from "a to 36 per
cent. per annum. Notes of the city of
Richmond can occasionally be discounted
at 20 per cent, but private paper is relia-
BILE only at about 25 per cent. discount.
The banks don't discount at all--if they
do it is through middlemen."
