16 days running, at the dose of eight
gramnes d day in another, a child five
years old had taken SO grammes in 25
days. In a third case, treated by himself,
70 grammes Of Chloral were administered
in the course of IL days. He had used
this agent during the smallpox epidemic
of 1901 especially with q view to as
suage acute suffering, and he had observed
cures eventually due to the sedative pro-
pertY of the medicine. He had likewise
seen a patient labouring under a violent
fever taken Tor q malignant one, and in
which ~sulphate of quinine produced no
effect whatever. This man seized with
d%elirious phrenzy, was rapidly Gained down
by chloraI and cured of pleuro-pneumonia.
This valuable agent should be used by
the physician not only to assuage pain
and deIirium, but also to soothe the last
suffering. A dying person may thus be
spared the physical and moral sufterings
Of his approaching decease. Dir. Papillaud
quoted the case of a c~onsumptive girl, who,
by the administration of choral, died
without pain, instead of wrestling useless
ly with asphyxia. DR.. Verneuil remark
ed that, in l%ockjaw, this agent should be
given in large doses aud for q long time,
in order to keep the patient in a state OF
perpetual somnolency. He had seldom
given less than from 10 to Is granmes.
and had the good fortune to save six pa
tients labouring under tetanio attacks.
DR.. Bouteiller described q method Of his
which consisted in associating opium
with ohloral. In this way the derange-
ment of the stomach was avoided, and
the effects obtained were more satisfactory
then those afforded by choral alone.

THE ISTHMUS CANAL TO CONNECT
THE ATLANTIC AND
PACIFIC.
fT;uoo ~o~~n.nonJo0t
Times Correspondent

The officers OF the United States Navy
have for some time past been surveying
the different proposed routes tor the
Isthmus Canal, to connect the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans. These surveys
brace seven different routes, and they
were all referred to a Commission consist
ing of General Humphreys, OF the Army,
Commodore Ammon, of the Navy, and
Captain Patterson, Superintendent OF the
Coast Survey, to decide which IS the
most feasible. This Commission have
made up a long report, which they have
sent to the President. They find oblec-
lions of an almost i~nsurmouutable nature
to every route excepting that across
Nicaragua. This is one OF the longest
routes, but the other advantages are q
compensation for this. 1t IS the only
route where the climate,ls not dangerous to
health, for on the others the greater part
of the workmen would die of fever before
the canal could be completed. 1t is also
the only route with a sufficient supply OF
water, which it gets from Lake Nicaragua.
It also passes through the Paradise OF
Central America, aud would return great
wealth under proper development. The
cost of this canal, 25 per cent. being
added for contingencies, is estimated at
S65,722. 900, and the Commission recon-
mend that it be the route selected and
that the construction of the canal proceed
under American auspices. The length oil
this Nicaragua route is 1911 miles.

THE UNITED STATES.

A semi-oficial statement is made public
from Washington relative to the points
which are subjects of negotiation between
the United States aud Spain. The United
States has asked Spain that, in future, all
Americans in Cuba accused OF violations
of law shall be tried by civil and not by
military tribunals, with all the rights
which are in such cases secured by the
treaty of 1895, and that in all cases where
Americans have heretofore been tired by
military tribunals the sentences shall be-
annulled. Spain has practically conceded
the first part Of this request. She agrees
that in future Americans accused OF
violations of law shall be tried by the
ordinary tribunals, with the right to be
heard by counsel and to summon witnesses,
and to employ all other necessary
safeguards for the accused, but with the
reservation that all such trials shall be
according to the Spanish law OF 1921
which provides for more expeditions pro-
ceedings than those of the Civil Courts
for common crimes in time of peace. She
also offers to revise all sentences passed
by military Courts upon Americans where
it shall be satisfactorily shown that these
sentences were in violation of established
law. This Spanish reply is not salts
factory to the United States, which takes
the ground that Americans accused OF
crime cannot be tried by Courts Martial,
but are entitled to trial before civil trl-
bunsls only, under the treaty, without
such a reservation as Spain proposes.

The authority of the civil law having
been indicated, and the mortal remains
of Guibord permitted to rest in peace,
the whole case will range itself
as one of the many evidences of the ten
dency of Vaticanism to come into collt-
sion with the civil power, or as an cpl
sode in the history Of the battle now
being waged between Ultramontanlsm
and Liberal ideas. The Institut Cana
diem, with its membership dwindled down
to 1865, very nearly embraces the whole
Liberal Catholicism OF French Canada !;
and though, in 1869, many men OF
talent and position were proud to avoW
their connexion with that institution,
one by one they have succumbed to &C.
cIesiastical influences, in the majority OF
cases finding the support OF the clergy
necessary to their personal advancement
or political success. One case | may
cite as illustrating all A prominent po-
~litician, who had taken an active interest
in the suit instituted by Guibord's widow,
and who had managed to get elected to
Parliament Notwithstanding the opposl-
ton Of the clergy, resigned his connexion
with the Institut on the eve of the last
General Election, was then accepted as
the Clerical nominee, and, as a conse-
quence, was returned by reclamation.
The better-educated class Of French Ca
nadians is undoubtedly permeated with
Liberal ideas, but the strange spectacle
is presented to us Of such a class allow
ing itself to be dominated by illiberal
ones. The influence of priest over people
in respect Of the exercise OF the franchise
is, | believe, the secret OF this anomaly.
NJ. Joseph Doutre, @. G., president Of
the Iustitut Canadien, is now the only
man of note who continues openly to
avow Liberal ideas, and to his energy and
public spirit is mainly due the satisfactory
issue which has attended the Guibord
case.-Tbid.

giving the result of an Interview be-
tween himself and Major John Henry

gard 10 the rightsand liens Of mechan-

Wered. He assumes that there IN no

enacted the present onerous and defec-
tive law, and thereupon asks why did
not Major Brown, rs n member OF the
Thirteenth Legislature, advocate the
views he now enunciptes 10 the mo
chanic Of Dallas? The answer IL, that
w u principle Major Brown has ever
held the same views Oh this question.
But the question was not raised In the
Thirteenth Legislature. The law now
In force was then new, and Its defects
were not understood as now. Dallas
and our neighborlng towns were just
then beginning to grow aud twas only
after mechanical business became 30

Why hurl the dust at Major Brown us

But there Ia n still more 0verwhelm-

demand from the people for relief
from Il series Of laws then in force
laws under which the people groaned
and confidence was destroyed Major
Brown, being heart and soul in SYM
patty with the people, took his seat IN

labored, in conjunction with others,
day and night, to repeal, remodel or
reform every law complained Of. To
the patriotic labOrs OF that body the
people of Texas are indebted Tor the
relief they now enjoy and the brilliant
prospects before them. Under the
new Constitution the next Legislature
can perfect the measures of relief
inaugurated by the Thirteenth Legis-
lature and enact all such laws as may
rebound to the welfare OF the farmers,
merchants, mechanics and the whole
people of Texas. JUSTICE.

We hope the present Law exempting,
for ten years, from taxation, capital and
property invested il manufactures will
not Be repealed. It may need modifca-
ton or additional legislation 70 provide
agsinstabuses, but the law is certainly a
good one in its Intentions With an
abundance of raw material to be worked
up into textile and other fairies, nothing
would give a greater impetus TO business
prosperity than the erection of mills and
workshops. This would tend to diversity
the pursuits of the people, now too ex-
clusively agricultural, give employment
to many idle persons and keep the money
at home that now goes to enrich New
England. 1t is true, that the present
law has had little or no apparent effect
in the encouragement of manufactures,
but this can be accounted for by the past
unsettled and unsatisfactory condition of
our political affairs With the accession
OF Democracy to power and the promise
of good government, an exemption law
similar to that of Georgia would probably
be followed by similar good results, and
it is well known what these have been in
that enterprising State
