THE PANAMA CANAL.
VIII ~ Ever ne Cause for wnr-secre-
tnry Hlniue'a Letter.

BosroN, Nov. 9.-Nathan Appleton,
who is interested with De Lesseps in the construc-
ton Of the Panama Canal. Is interviewed by the
star to-day. He says 1.-THE extraordinary mani
festo Of Secretary Blaine on the neutrality, or
rather non-ncutrality, OF the Panama
Canal as far as the United States is
concerned has brought the canal question,
which has been rather slumberlng for some time,
again prominently to the attention Of our people
and the rest Of the world The worst thing about
Mr.. Blaines circular IS that II is q sort Of chal-
enge to the rest of the world in the sad alternative
Of war, as If that would be the probable re-
suit OF the opening of the Panama Canal
That at Suez has now been open about twelve
years. and the question of war has never troubled
the peaceful movement of ships through Its tran
gull waters There are no forts or fleets at either
end, and It Is understood to be sacred and neu-
trail piece Of the oceans highway, in which It
would be national disgrace for the ship of one
country to modest that of another. No nation
would attack the United States, nor should
we go over the water to engage in such
foolish and wicked work. Well, It is easy
easy TO sec that that the Isthmus Of Panama is
practically near France, or England, or Brazil,
or Japan, as tits to the United States It is only
difference of a few days moro or less at sea. The
world is very small-you can go round 1t in eighty
days, and this new route of communication which
De Lesseps is opening for all nations-not for any
one more than nnother-will shorten the distance
still more. All can use II, but no one can be per-
mitted TO abuse Il"

The snc. md Foxes.


An article headed "Cranky Red Mel"
In your Mondays issue is an Indifferent and jocular
statement of pitiful and dlsgracefu state offacts
SO far from encouraging or even dealing justly
with these Sacs and Foxes, who are industrious,
careful farmers, whose career is promising solu-
ton of the Indian problem, they have been for
four or five years" kept out of money belonging
to them, amounting now to $4,000, because they
are still savages enough to be afraid to sign the
payroll. The Government has refused repeatedly
to pay their expenses to Washington to ask the
President to excuse them from an act which
INDIAN SUPERSTITION
believes 10 be deadly, and now, when out of their
hard earned, pitiful means they send to Washing
ton eight OF their tribe and two interpreters at
their own expense, we arc told that "their visit
creates great amusement among the officials" aud
that the Indians are informed with laughter that
the Great Father went to New York when he heard
they were coming" The final and exquisite joke
Is that they will probably remain here until their
money is exhausted, for the Government which
owes them $40 900 will not advance them cent to
pay their way home.

creditors Of the Government that higher civ
iization and education are not merely superior

nothing to fear from their vengeance, or It might
be worth while to remember that the order to the

Softening the Aspcrities.

Again the Post comes forward with an
effort to secure for Secretary Blaine the
favorable consideration of the Southern
people, e., the Southern Bourbons, none
others being regarded as people in any
well-regulated Democratic newspaper
The Post notifies the Southern editors
who are lying in wait for Mr.. Blaine, to
"open his eyes to the true state of affairs
in that section" ON the occasion of his
proposed Southern tour, that he "has
very little to learn, as he is already" as
thoroughly acquainted with the political,
social, and material condition of the South
as if he had been a yearly visitant within
her borders" But, says the Post, if Mr..
Blaine can learn nothing of the Southern
people (Bourbons) they can learn much
concerning him. And then such a pic
ture as the Post draws of Mr.. Blaine! No
Republican friend of his would ever rec
ognize it. Where ever did the gushing
writer who does the Blaine department
in the Post get the colors for his portrait
or the lines for his drawing. Note him.
He says:
Southern people will find out more of Mr.. Blaine
than he is likely TO learn Of the Southern people
They will discover that the Secretary is u very
pleasant gentleman aud most agreeable COM
panion, and that he has no more enmity toward
the South than any other portion OF the country.
They will make up their minds that he has never
believed any of the outrageous charges and bloody
shirt ISLANDERS which for many years have formed
so large part OF his political speeches, and that
his use Of campaign thunder OF that sort Is in
tended solely 10 influence Northern voters and not
to work at all to the dctrimcnt of Southern people.
There Is question as to whether man OF tho
mental stature OF the Secretary be justified IN
Wholesale dcnunclation OF people for political
purposes, but there can be none MS TO his dis
belief in all OF It. On the other hand Mr., Blaine
has very little to learn. u student politician
and a close observer of men and events he is as
thoroughly acquainted with the political, social,
and material condition of the South as II he had
been yearly visitant within her borders lie
knows exactly why the Intelligence, respecta.
bility and wealth of that section has not, cannot,
and will not aid and comfort the organization OF
which he Is an eminent leader, No; It is not
Blaine who is yet 10 know the Southern people,
but The Southern people, who do not know Blaine,
that should take advantage Of the opportunity
for better acquaintance likely to be offered be-
fore many months.
Here is a plot The Post is laying the
groundwork for kidnapping our Plumed
Knight, The Bourbons are to get up
close to him and to take the Posts word
for it that he is at heart one of them. 1t
is but step beyond that to seize him and
draft him into their service, They must
excuse his "bloody shirt ISLANDERS" Of
them on the ground thatthey were never
intended to work at all to the detriment
of the Southern people. In short, the
Post would have its Bourbon friends be-
lieve that Mr., Blaine is no more the Stall

The most difficult and fashionable form
of "solitare" at cards Is called the "skip.two."
1t is said that the game Is so ingenious and inter.
esting that in Eastern cities clubs are formed to
play It, communication of success being made by
telegraph and letter. The elements of calcula-
ton and chance are about equally divided. The
possible combinations of the game may be said to
be incalculable. Tho full pack of fifty-two cards
is used. They must be shufled to begin with,
and then laid out one by one in rows
on q large table. Whenever as thus laid out
Il card of the same suit as the last one in
the row is to be found three cards back
skipping two" 1t be placed ON top of the last
card in the row. This, of course disturbs the
order Of the original arrangement, and may bring
cards of the same suit within two cards of each
other. In that event the two may be placed In a
single pile, that to the right being the one OH which
the other card must be placed. 1t will often hap
pen that the four suits may be moved In this way
at the same time, and in doing this the memory is
taxed, and ingenuity needs to be frequently dis.
played SO as to combine the cards In such way as
to bring those of the same suit within two cards of
each other When the cards on the table offer no
chance to move, the player draws from those in his
hand until all are exhausted. The result of the
game II successful, is the combination of all those
of the same suit in pile by themselves, thus max
ing four piles. Failure Is reached when, the cards
in hand being exhausted. there are no further
moves and more than four piles remain on the
table.-NciV Hdten REGISTER.
