where the rust and the llessiOn fly prevails in

There was at least great deal of dignity

but next week the wheat market Will open
which will, as IL always does when there is
good crop, enliven business all around town.
Dallas Is ready to buy the surplus all around

Corn was steady aud in fair shipping and

at s cents rates, instead Of 90 rs

with the boom, and consumers peremptorIly

they are obliged to rccedc. But it will not

AND so the Grant fever has invaded the
White House along with the pestientia vapors from

can have stung the placid Mr.. Hayes to make him
break out into this advised piece of favor at the last
gasp of his Presidential life? Has he been waiting
whether Grant would by possibility he his sue
cessor before administering this monstrous sugar
plum to curry favor with the Imperalists The man
of execution Is Jungling the fact late In the
day. Mr.. Hayes recommends the creation OF a
"Captan Generally which Is unknown to our law.
We already have Lieutenant General and full Gem

TIE pANAMA CANAL.

Avast amount Of nonsense has been printed |
in American journals since Mr.. Secretary
Thompson has become connected with the
Panama Canal Company. The World, which
during NJ. De Lesseps's visit TO this continent
.et forth the true American doctrine with
signal clearness and ability, has spoken of
Mr.. Thompson as taking the Presidency of
the Company, and has declared that this
circumstance removes all valid objections to
the De Lesseps project, while numerous other
journals have chimed in with similar senti-
ments. Now Mr.. Thompson has not become
President of the Company, but only Chair
man of the American Committee, whatever
that may mean. We are as yet unadvised
as to what precise functions this committee
is TO assume, besides inducing American
subscriptions to the stock, and counteracting
American hostility but tit is certain that no
powers will or even can be granted TO an
essentially subordinate committee that would
interfere with the supreme control of NJ. De
Lesseps and his French Directors, or in any
degree change what is now entirely Eu-
ropean into an American enterprise.
The fundamental objection to De Lesseps' s
of view, is that the concessions from Colom-
bia, and the intrusion into the polity
of the weak Central American governments,
OF a mammoth corporation like that which
could construct such canal, would give the
government controlling that corporation a
preponderatng influence in a region where
the influence of the United States ought to
preponderate, because our interests there are
much greater and more vital than those O
any European power. If French corpora
,ion builds the Panama Canal, occasions, oil
at least pretexts, will constantly arise fol
French negotiations and French interference,
with the Central American States. The pc
cunary interest of the French shareholder
will give France a greater power on tn
Isthmus than the Suez Canal has give
France and England in Egypt. Yet thes
two governments have dethroned Khediv
lsmail Pasha, and set up his successor, VIII
is governing in condition of vassalage
under the supervision of French and Eng
lish Commissioners. And yet in Egyp
Russia, Turkey, Austria, and Italy hav
interests opposed to any absorption of powt
by France and England. On this contine,
there is no country but the United States
resent European interference, and if /
Lesseps and his hired American advocat,
can alay our jealousy, there is nothing
hinder such lodgment on the Isthmus
would make the influence of this COVER
ment with the States contiguous to the can
secondary to that in which the headquarte
of the Canal Company is located. The ia
that the company is already beginning
subsidize the American press and to bi
with useless salaries Americans erroneous
supposed to possess influence, is simp
cumulative evidence that its designs oug
to be regarded with the suspicion which |
longs to things which seek adventitous a
because they cannot stand on their intrin'
merits.

Mr.. HpntIy's Dinners.

Mr.. S. S. Huntly, who has already figured
somewhat prominently and not always creditabiy as
q contractor for carrying the United states mails In
the far West again nds his way into the newspapers
This time he has had quarrel with his cousin and
business partner about te diysionof the spois and
having gone to law, he seeks to justify his demands
upon the exchequer Of the firm by statement Of his
expenditures as lobbyist In Washington. Among
other things OF the sort he alleges that he has
from time time IN order 10 have the prices paid
mall service increased found 1t necessary 10 buy silk
dresses Watches and other presents for the wives Of
heads Of departments and Of clerks. Sti further, he
declares that he has, to keep the press quiet, been
obliged buy dinners for Its Representatives iu WASH
ington, and that these repasts have cost him sums
varying from 80 to $50 apiece. III pity that
shrewd gentlemen as Mr. nuntly could not have found
better use for his money. The dresses and watches
may possibly not have been thrown away. but the
dinners certainly not placed where they would
do the most good, IL 10 very safe 10 say that Mr.
Huntly has never entertained at dinner otherwise
any reputable newspaper correspondents at WASH
ngton. Those who may have accepted bis hospital
tiles are doubtless OF ciass who could do him and the
postal ring neither good nor harm lie shoald have
been more specific In his statements. Let him name
ihe representatives, heads OF departnents
clerks and congressman who are Indebted 70 him foI
dinners, silk dresses, and gold watches.-Ssso iorA

"Grant's Presidential career was kind Of national
gift enterprise This grand gift concern Is now In
its sequel; and President Hayes has taken ticket In
It by proposing Captain Generscy. Verify, we re-
gret that Hayes, In approaching his exit, had not
given the country In some form specimen OF tho Wig
orous manhood and bright Intellect OF young America,
Instead OF dwindling Into the prevailing tcadyism
and becoming mere pigmy admiror in the grand
caravan OF the gift enterprise. Aas the degenerscy
and pusillanimity OF the times.

HIoHLY-REsPEcTABLE officers and directors
are nominated for the new gas company
lately proposed, but as in previous cases we
do not see how Congress and the public are
to be assured that they will always control
the concern. Applying the reasoning OF
Judge Black on railways to this question,
we see that the power to tear up streets and
lay mains can be nothing but govern
mental power, and that there is no sure pro-
lection Tor the people short of having the
Government control the whole matter from
first TO last. Congress ought to take back
the abused franchises now in the hands OF
the Washington Gaslight Company, instead
Of granting out any more.

A President Is Not Of So Much Account

Somebody will, Of course, introduce bill
into Congress this Winter TO make the Presidential
term six years. Governor Pound, OF Wisconsin, is,
We believe the man. or course the bill will not
pass. II ought not TO pass II the Presidential term
Is changed all let II be made two years, 10 cores
pond with the duration of Congress- There would
be some sense IN that. With such change we might
possibly stand third term. IL is high time the
Americans diyested themselves Of the stupid super
Chief Magistraey. We do not use holy oil on
Presidents. s.-Cfn. Commercial.
