The Panama Canal Not Yet Begun.


The progress being made in the inter
oceanic canal is not very great Prepa-
rations have been abundant, but not
much work is done. The construction
proper of the canal, according to advices
of September "a, has not even been com
menced. Including those engaged in
preparatory surveys, draughting, fur
nishlng provisions, etc., the number Of
persons in the employ Of the Panama
Company does not exceed a thousand.
OF that small number seventy have al
ready died and many more are sick, and
the directors have begun to build regu-
lar system of hospitals -four in alb, dis
tributed along the length Of the canal,
and a fifth (''central hospitarO is to be
constructed at Panama. The cost Of
excavation is found to exceed all esti-
mates, the work done at the sites of the
two villages being laid out for workmen
costing 81 25 per cubic yard, instead Of
three cents as was expected. The French
stockholders have recently been called
on for another assessment, and having
very little to show for previous expendi-
lures, will perhaps soon realize the i'm
practicable nature of the enterprise to
which they have pledged their money.
It is barely possible that the accounts
which reach US from the Isthmus are
slightly colored by the desire Of parties
in this country to disparage n. de Les
seps canal scheme. If matters there are
so very discouraging, it seems that the
French shareholders would have found
it out long since, and stopped their as
sessments.

The disposition of the Porte to meddle
with the affairs Of Egypt is not agree
able 10 France and England, who have
the upper hand in that country. The
claim-of suzerinty over Egypt put for
ward by the Sultan is the sheerest non
sense. The Khedive, it is true, is still
pledged to furnish contingent Of Il, 900
men when the Sultan is engaged in 8
war, but Egypt is as far removed from
the Sultan's control as is Morocco.
Great Britain has her grip on that cOun-
try, and Englishmen fill the most i'm
portant offices, and the finances are al
together under the control of Great
Britain and France jointly, Great
Britain being the largest creditor, hold
ing claims amounting to between $780,.

The lynching Of a murderer at Bloom
ington. Ill, by mob which comprised
many of the usually lsw-abiding citizens
was the. not unnatural result of popular
dissatisfaction with the administration
of the law in another murder case. Total
failures or ong-protracted delays of jus
tice have grown so common throughout
the country that there is 4 steady increase
in the number of cases taken before the
court of Judge Lynch. The remedy
Is not TO be found in the prosecution of
1ynehers, but in a better administration
of the law in capital cases. -Four or five
repetitions of the trial of a cleqr case are
not very uncommon, each based upon
some very fne-drawn legal technically
and often solely intended to delay final
action. Justice, to be effective in the pre-
vention Of CRIME, must be prompt as
well as certain. The remedy for the
lynehing epidemic rests with the judi
ciary and the Legislatures, but mainly
with the former.

suffering upon the houseless and home

Hon. Nelson w. Aldrich, of Provi-
dence, who has been chosen to the
Rhode Island vacancy in the United
States Senate, is member of the lower
house of Congress. He was born at
Foster, r. l., in 1871, but from his in
fancy until 1858, resided at Killingly,
Connecticut He then removed to
Providence, and has since been chiefly
in mercantile pursuits, in which he has
amassed a competence. He was Speaker
of the Rhode Island House in 1876, and
was elected to Congress in 1878. Charges
have been made by his rivals for the
Senatorship that Federal, State and mu-
nicipal offices have been promised to
his supporters. He has been classed as
a "Blaine Republican" but it is quite
probable that, with many others of his
class, he has changed his fractional coat
since the death of President Garfield.

The Rise In Confederate Government
ROndg

The recent rise in Confederate Govern
ment bonds in London has given rise to
many absurd rumors as to the cause OF
the sudden improvement Of that class OF
securities. while the truth seems to have
ESCAPED the notice Of those who have
been giving attention to the subject.
The New Orleans Democrat reminds us
of the fact that when the war ended the
Confederate Government had on de-
post in London, in the Bank OF Eng
land. several millions of dollars-esti-
mated as high as $1,000. O0O-and the
United States Government being aware
of the fact, made several unsuccessful
attempts to secure it. Mr.. Seward wish
ed to make a peremptory demand for it,
but was dissuaded from such course by
Mr.. johnson, who feared serious
complications with England at
that time. and so the money has
lam there to this day unclaimed,
and as it has doubtless been drawing
interest, the amount must have enor-
mously increased. The late furry in
Confederate bonds has doubtless, says
the Democrat, been caused by the de-
sign on the part of the holders TO secure
payment out of this large fund in the
Bank of England.
1t would seem, remarks that paper, to
be quite time to have this little. matter
of millions of money settled, and as it
unquestionably belongs to the United
States. its transfer from the vaults of
TIE Old Lady of Threadneedle street to
the Treasury at Washington would be
the proper thing for Mr.. Blaine or his
successor to insist upon.

Congressman Cox writes to the New
York Sun from COnstantinOple: Every

the handsOmest young lady to adOrn the
Sultan's palace as a new wife. The
mother Of the Sultan selects from the
bevy of beauties gathered from 'silken
Samarcand to cedsred Lebanon One
of the singular laws Of royal marriages
here is that the wife becomes the slave,
when married, to his majesty. Why :
Because the Crown Prince, or future
Sultan, must be a born slave himself,
and thus less in rank than the free peo-
pie of the realm he governs. This is
odd but it is Oriental"

"The Express sees now but one living
issue before the country. But that is a
very important issue-one which appeals
to every mans conscience and sense Of

tinctly as did the great overshadowing
issue OF slavery. The issue of our day

Of personal friendship, coupled with the

cessful and strong in the confidence and
pride Of the people, not at all directing
its energies for re election, and yet com
polling that result by the logic Of events

Estimates Of the cotton crop, now
coming in, are in order. Never has
there been such differences Of OPT ions
shown, never have the estimates ranged
so widely from high to low. A prOmi-
nent Memphis cotton dealer received a
telegram from another dealer in New
York, last week, offering to wager
s., 900 that the cotton crop of 1SS1-S2
will exceed 5000, 900 bales. The Mem
phis merchants made a rush for the bet,
but the dealer who had received the
telegram claimed the first privilege, and
telegraphed his acceptance, offering, st
the same time, to make it a $40. 600 bet.
