WHILE we have never seen any,
thing which should call for the in
reference Of the United States In
the building of the Panama canal
"a purely commercial enterprise
There is subject for reflection in
some rather foolish remarks of
Gen. Benjamin F. Butler on that
topic. He says the completion Of
this canal would enable England
to attack the Pacific Coast of the
United States; that at present
this 10 not feasible because Eng
iish ships Of war of the more for
midable grade could not carry coal
enough to admit of an effective as.

ed to make the judicious friends OF
the erstwhile brilliant and strabis.
mic General and statesman grieve.
As matter of fact the present
coaling facilities OF the British
navy, even for operations on the
Pacific Coast of the United States,
are ample. We are sorry to say
that, were war to be declared be-
tween the two countries to NOR
row, the result would be substan-
TALLY as follows: The British peo-
pie would HAYS nothing to eat, as
the United States largely feeds
them; while, for the time being,
we should be knocked into a
cooked hat, with most of our sea-
port cities either in British hands
or in ruins. That would be- the
story told In the opening chapters.
The resources OF our fouudrIes are

and the tremendous energies of the
torpedo are 80 we'll known, that, In
case of war with England or any

Of New York, Boston, Baltimore,

We not only feed England but buy
her goods 10 prodigious quantities,
which is another guarantee of

MERIDIAN, Miss, Nov. S.-Four
white men were killed and two
severely wounded by negroes to-
day at Marian Station, this coun-
ty. The negroes opened fire on the
whites at the polls while the cleo
tion was going on. The whites
had no arms, conseQ uently no dam
age was done to the negroes. One
OF the men killed was A. L. Har-

formed OF about q hundred negroes,
bArricaded in his dwelling house
their leader Ed Vance, and they
were fired upon by the negroes as
they approached the house. An
other armed body Of men has gone
from here to the scene to assist the
Sheriff. Otherwise the election In
this county was quiet and orderly.

OLD Simon Cameron must be
verging very closely upon ninety
years of age, but whenever he talks
politics his outgivings are chsrac-
terized by his old snap and vivac-
ity. Speaking about President
Arthur, the other day, the old
Winnebago chieftain said that the
new Presidents "policy" would be
exactly that Of President Garfield,
which consisted in putting his own
friends in office and kicking out
his enemies. Arthur, according to
Cameron, will religiously follow
this example. Thus far we have
had two felicitous Republican def
nitions Of the dead Presidents pol.
icy. One was by John F. Swift
who, when pressed by Eugene Sui.
Ivan to define ii, said IL was sop
position to Conklipg, of course"
The other is that of Cameron,
which 10 even more comprehen-
sIve. No doubt Mr.. Chancellor
Harrison is doing good deal of
solid meditation on this explica-
ton of Presidential "policies."
Cundurango Bliss not only blum
dered In his diagnosis and treat
msnt Of the dead President; but, by
his absurd tone of confidence in
Gen. GarAeld's recovery, he led TO
. freedom of speech In what In
New York would be called '"Hslf-
Breed" quarters whose full effects
on the political fortunes of Its ut
terers will be made quite apparent
the next six months.

care, because 1t admits of our PEN
sioning upon the payroll OF that
department number of elegant
fellows who are highly graceful
and ornamental in u ballroom.
But how few Americans there are
who have stopped TO think how ut
terly helpless and useless our rot
ten old wooden navy is? One of
the characteristic acts of Secretary
Blaine was to talk in highland
cd way to Chile as TO what she
should do and forbear doing in her
relations with Peru. We are in .
clined to think that the.imperious
advice was good enough in It's
way, but suppose Chile should
dout us, and tells us to go to Hades
and shake ourselves, what could
we do about 1t? AS matter of
fact, Admiral Lynch, Of the Chi
lean navy, could not only continue
his present course with regard to
Peru, but steam up the coast with
his superb ironclads and blow San
Francisco off her seven and seven
ty hills. Why a great nation
should be allowed to remain in
such q helpless condition puzzles
US, we confess. There Is no earthly
reason for it. With a revenue SO
superabundant that we are paying
off the national debt at the rate of
fifteen million dollars a year;
with the interest charge on
the debt which remains re-
duoed to one-half what 1t WAS
ten years ago, it would certainly
seem that the United States, like
Italy, or even Chile, ought to be
able to create or at least buy O
navy. To build 1t. however morti-
tying to our national pride the
confession is, would perhaps be
better, because the larcenious
knack or instinct has become so
great amongst the scurvy politi-
clans who rule the United States
that colossal sums would be fritz
tered away without acco mplishing
our object, IN government dock
yards. AT all events the navy, if
built at all, should be furnished, by
foreigners or natives, as the result
of an honest business competition,
and the specifications should be
rigidly enforced. AS long as we
shall remain at peace with sail the
world and the rest of mankind"
we Can continue to drift
along in 81 easy and pleasant way.
But at auy moment we are liable to
be jostled out of our fancied securi.
ty, and made to realize that, for
tho last twenty years, we have
been walking on the ragged edge
of disaster. The United States
not only needs navy, but 1t needs
a merchant marine and COM
merce which will develop sailors.
The splendid type of seamen from
whom John Paul Jones drew his
followers is fast becoming extinct.
There is yet small representation
of the matchless sailors Of New
England. Let another twenty
years pass, in the same needless in
difference which has characterised
the last two decades. and We shall
indeed not need navy, for we
shall have no sailors to man it.
Precisely to that melancholy result
are we now drifting.

He reports having passed several freighters'

number. In one instance freighter was
compelled to unload the goods from one Of
his wagons and go distance Of thirty or
forty miles for feed for his stock. If the re-
turns were all in We believe it would be
found that the freighters suffered more in
conveniences and hardships On account of
the late memorable 'tcold snap" than any
other class of citizens.
Some forty lodges of Indiana are camped
