afternoon

ONE HOPE.

Unofficial Executive Mansion, Aug, %.
Ii 80 a. m. The condition of the Pres
ident has not materially changed since yes
terday afternoon and is yet the subject OF
grave anxiety. The improved tone of the
patients stomach which gave some en-
couragement to the attendants yesterday,
is still maintained and this is the most
hopeful feature of the case. He has taken
this morning 6--8 ounces beef juice without
nausea or any other symptom of gas
trio disturbance. Upon the continuance for
several days at least, of this ability to
take and assimilate food and upon the con-
tinued absence of further scomplication
would seem to rest the patients chances OF
recovery. If the wound continues to do
well, if no serious consequences would re
suit from the swelling of the parotid
gland aud if the stomach would
continue to take food enough to make
good this loss caused by suppuration
there viii at least be improvement enough
within the next four or five days to carry
the patient to higher plane of vitality
and perhaps to put him on road, al
though not in the sure road, to recovery
The influence of this favorable condition
however, while universallyshoped for, can
not be confidently predicted.

One or two English editors who have
been trying to get our government TO
seize the property Of the Panama Canal
Company, plant forts on the Isthmus and
shake its fist in the faces of the great
maritime nations, are now rejoicing over
the fact that some of De Lesseps' labore1s
are dying from the Isthmus fever. They
refer to those deaths as if De Lesseps was
suffering the vengeance of heaven for
daring to undertake such a work on this
continent 1t is true that a good many
laborers have died along the Chagres
river, but the work of constructing the
canal goes on without interruption, be-
cause laborers are plenty and cheap.
The company are getting all the men
they want from the surrounding country,
and they will, undoubtedly, put the
canal through. They have the money
and the men.

Congressman LeFevre of Ohio. will in
troduce bill, on the assembling of the
House next month, making the Bureau
of Agriculture a Department, and its
head Cabinet officer. 1t will be urged
on behalf of this proposition that "about
one-half of the people of the country
are engaged in agriculture, and that this
commanding industry has never received
proper attention at the hands of the law
making power. The farmer does not
visit the national capital as lobbyist or
knock at the doors of Congress a suppl
cant for special favors. In all the history
of the country, though this is nation of
farmers, the farmer is almost the only
man who has not been at the gates of
government asking for assistance.

Secretary Folger's policy, it is said, is
70 purchase 4 and AZ per cents at market
rates, instead Of calling 81 per cents.
The latter are redeemable at the pleasure
Of the government at par. The Al and
4 per cent. bonds are not redeemable I'M
1881 and 1907, respectively and they are
quoted in the market at 1921 and 1164,
respectively. The government must there
fore, in order to redeem them at the pres
emit time, pay 121 and 49, per cent. more
than their par value, and as their market
value will advance if the government be-
comes a heavy purchaser the excess will
be even greater. 1t is difficult, to say
the least, 10 discern the wisdom of pay
ing such heavY,premiums on bonds which
are not due, in place Of calling bonds
which are due and upon which no pre-
MUM need be paid. Possibly, however,
there may be some Interior purpose in
the adoption of such a policy-some
political debt to be paid at government
expense.

Second Auditor Farris. of the Treasu,

Second Auditor Farris, of the Treasury
Department, recommends in his annual
report to the Secretary of the Treasury
that all claims for soldiers, bounty and
back pay should now be barred by a
statute of limitations. The New York
Times says that the decrease in the an
nual interest charged on the public debt
is fully Offset by the increase in the
pensions appropriation, and taking due
account Of tenacity of life of this class
of annuitants, the probability that this
generation will see the extinction of the
debt is much greater than it will see the
appropriation for pensions reduced to
the figure of ten years ago."

Good news for railway travellers was
told at a meeting of railway officers,
locomotive builders and engineers
gathered at Atlantic City lately, to see
the workings of the ''Shaw" locomotive.
It was said that, after thorough trial,
Mr. Rufus Hills arrangement of the
smOke-box of locomotives, designed to
effect better consumption Of fuel and
to serve as spark arresters, had proved
effective, and that the Baldwin LOcomo-
tive Works had bought the right to use
the device with the purpose of applying
It to all locomotives hereafter built at
that establishment. Its use on new To-
comotives, it may be hoped. will lead
to its adoption on old ones. and thus a
great nuisance and source of danger be
removed from railway travel.
