THE French, who are The canaEcutters of
the world, have commenced work upon the
lsthmus Of Corinth. The director of the
work is one Gen. Turr, 4 Hungarian soldier
nnd engineer, who, after various military
adventures, married into 4 branch of the
Bonaparte family. Ills bTother-ln-law, Col.
DonapaEte-Wyse, is connected with the
Panama Canal project, SO that canal-cuttlng
appears to he In the way OF tile family. It
does not; appear yet what advantage will
accrue from the Corinth Canal. as there is no
particular commercial demand for it. twill
geographically make the southern half Of
Greece an island, and, if the north aud south
halves should ever have trouble together,
the canal would be an Interesting spot, but
except rs Il matter OF geographical curiosity
or:canai stock speculation to Gen. Turr and
his associates the value Of the Corintl Canal
Is somewhat mythical and vague.

SHALL WE HAVE A NAVY?


a Naval Advisory Board has laid before
the Secretary of the Navy two reports-tila5
is. 4 majority and 4 minority report-as to
what shall bed dpne with the navy. The report
states that there are no" just twenty-one war
vessels Of all grades and sizes that are cfi-
cient or can be made efficient. We have done
no building for several .ycars, though we
keep eight nayy-yards i'll full blast aud oper-
alton, each provided with a corps Of officers,
naval and civil, of the most imposing char
aeter aud cost Of maintenance. LII fact,
though we have but 4 Skeleton of ! navy,
and Il weak skeleton at best, tile expense
of the navy is flrst-cIass, and VIC have Off
GERS, especially Paynasters aid Chaplalns,
equal to i first-class naval establishment.
Itisstateu that the board proposes to '' begin"
a NAVY by building forthwith thirty-one
new ships, of the following specifications:
Two ships of ;,,;sk,rons with speed Of Is knnts.
Sir ships:G s,:aE31Ous with speed OF II knots
Thirteen ships of $500 tons with speed OF u
Eno1s
Ten ships Of 70 tons With n speed Of 10 knots,
Tho twenty-one large Vessels are to be
steel, covered with wood. and the ten
small ONES are to be wood. 3 1t is expected
they will be completed i'll 1890. and are only
to cost IN average OF one, million Of dollars
each; OF 81, ,050, ,G;n in all.
Surprising the proposed navy to be com
plete and allcat, it is questionable whether
the navy as then made up vii, be any more
efficient for aggressive OF defensive war tllaa
it is at Tie present time. The o5jec-
tlons already urged aaainst, this scheme are
very strong. The New York 1i,ncs makes
the very important one that it is yet to be
proved whether steel plates Gun be probably
used in shipbsiltliEg, whether vessels thus
constructed can survive Tie rough usage and
straining Of ocean navigation, and that, while
steel navigation is even now but mere ex-
pertinent. its success is made more uncertain
because, how sever good American iron may
be, American steel has notyet been produced
that is equal TO English steel.
Another criticism is that, with thu excep~
ton Of the gunboats, tic vessels Of this new
navy are intended as cruisers They cannot
contend against ironclads or vessels. Of
heavier metal. Speed, then, in order to avoid
the enemy, is essential to an unarmored yes-

AT the. London Lord Mayors banquet

nations. 1 know Ut TO more strik;Es, test 11;l.l
rhe feeling which had been shown Of sincere and
deep grief In England in ragnrl TO the death of
President Garfield, a.,d the devoted loyalty Of
the Americans to our Queen. -
Granville must hare been 1nisreported.
Perhaps he was referring 10 the Canadian
Americans III speaking Of devoted loyalty"
10 his Queen. The expression "loyalty to
Ills Queen sean have no application to the
people Of the United States. The meaning
Of tile word loyalty" is faithful adherence
To-, allegiance. fidelity to a government,
fealty, etc. The Americans have borlle no
fealty or allegiance to the British sovereign
for moro than hundred years. They owe
allegiance to no Queens, except their wives,
End sometimes they are not devoted Loyalty
enough to them. The Americans respect the
character and position Of the British Queen,
but TIA. is the full extent Of their - loyulty''
to that old Indy. II Granville had spoken

THE Irish Land Court is unelrthing some

.Nine.y-iye dollars rental for three acres OF
land gives ono all idea Of what is meant by
Irish rack-rents. The uoor wretch will still
have S15 al acre to pay OH his garden patch,
but that is not so bad rs s;;552 an acre per an
mum. Even one Of the heirs Of the great
;. Libcrator," Daniel O'Connell, llas' been
pinching his tenants, but Glatlstone's Land
Court bill has brought him his senses. 4

a gift. 1t is possibly this very estate that
his nephew has been rach-renitn-. The bill
is no respccter OF, persons. Wherever THE
landlord has been charging more than y fair
rent lie must accept what the court declares
to be right, and where lie has co,lfiscatcl the

to their rightful owners. These restorations
OF stolen tenant property, it is estimated,
will aggregate 500 millions Of dollars in Ire

improvements heretofore or hereafter made.
The bill is a first great instalmeilr Of justice.
It is halfway huuse to peasant proprietor

Rio Grande official, that that company
intend importing ten thousand French
men and a corps of French engineers at
an early day to work on the Denver &
Rio Graude extensions. 1t says Count
De Langrand, who has been in charge
Of the Mexican national survey and
construction company, will go to
France, organize a corps of engineers.
and educate them in American railroad
work and the manner Of operation.
When this work is finished, the corps
will be dispatched to different parts OF
the country, each to secure a squad of
laborers and instruct them as to future
work. When ten thousand are secured,
the squads will concentrate in Paris
and be transported to New York and
overland without delay. The informant
believed that q majority Of them would
be distributed equally on the Mexican
and Salt Lake divisions. Langrand
has been ordered to report in Denver for
instructions. He is expected to arrive
In about two weeks, and will start at
once for Paris.
