pRECEDENTS And THE CANALS.

Tho future Of the Sucz Canal is one of the most
perplcxiug questions which the British Govern
ment is called upon to settle at the close of the
Egyptian campaign. Every phase of the dis
cussion should be watched with eager interest
in the United States, inasmuch as a precedent
may bo established by which the future of the
proposed Panama Canal may also be deter
mined. Mark how close are the analOgies of the
two questions Each canal is a short waterway
between oceans. Each Iuns through the ter
rtOry of a weak State which is unable to de-
fend itself against foreign INVASION. Each
affords quick transit for transports and war
slips. Each is designed for the convenience Of
the worlds commerce. Each is waterway in
which a single nation has paramount interests.
England IN tie Suez Canal and the United
States in the Panama Canal. The natural in
ference from these fundamental analOgies is
that if the canals are to be ncutralized ut all,
they should be neutralized in the same way.
The Suez Canal has been declared neutral by
tie French company on the authority of the
Sultan and the Khedive. 1t has never been
neutraized by international action. The pro-
posed Panama Canal would be neutralized
by the Clayton Bulwer Treaty. so far rs the
United States and Great Britain are concerned !;
and Lord Granville has formally recon-
mended international action on the same basis.
Inreply to Mr.. Blaine's Arguments for the modfi-
cation of the treaty, he suggested that the
United States Government should invite the
maritime States to participate in an agreement
based Oh the Clayton Bulwer Treaty, and prom
ised the active cooperation of Her Majesty's
Government to that end. Consistency would
require analogous action in regard to the Suez
Canal In a previous article we have con-
tended that Lord Granville cannot himself act
upon the advice given to Mr.. Blaine without
impairing the prestige acquired by
the British in their recent campaign in Egypt.
We have also shown that an influential section

THE REAL TROUBLE IN OHIO.

The latest returns from Ohio give the
State to the Democrats by majority
estimated at about $4,000. They have
also carried, probably, fourteen or fifteen
OF the twcnty-One Congressional districts
To appreciate the proportions of this Demo-
cratic victory, 1t is only necessary to state that
Foster, the Republican candidate, was reelected
Governor last fall by plurality OF over
24,OOO, and that the Ohio delegation IN the
present Congress consists Of fifteen RepuJll-
cans and five Democrats.
There can be no installing the signili-
cance of this enormous Democratic majority.
The temperance question undoubtedly had
a great effect, but it cannot he held responsible
for revolt of such proportions. The cause
lies deeper than that and has wider appica-
ton. Thousands of Republican voters did not
go to the polls On the Western Reserve, the
stronghold of Republican faith and purpose,
there was an unprecedented falling OIL III the
Republican vote. That tells the story. The
State of Garfield has refused to exert
itself, in an off year, to sustain the course
of the Administration which has devoted
itself chiefly to undong the work that Car
field began, and whose chief supporters have
busted themselves mostly in slandering Gar
fields memory.
This is more than Democratic victory. The
very size of the majority shows that. 1t shows
the benumbing effect of an unpopular
Administration, and of the cOwardice of
a Congress which forgot its duty to
the people in its haste to bow down to
that Administration. The Republicans, unless
interested in the special temperance issue,
felt that they had nothing to labor for Any
success they could win would be appropriated
for It's own selfish ends by an Administration
whose methods and spirit they disapproved,
and whose schemes for another term they
lOlthed. We are not approving this apathy (;
olt the man is foolish who fails to recognize its
existence, OF to read its lesson. The earnest
Republicans of the Western Reserve, where
the temperance question would weaken them
less than anywhere else in the State, and where
the Republican losses nevertheless seem to
be the heavest-these straightforward, dycd-ln-
the-wool Republicans say simply: We have
mot changed our faith. We arc no more Dem
"ocrats than we ever were. We do not believe
" that this Administration represents Repub-
:" lican principles, and we cannot sustain it, even
"indirectly. Either the Administration must
abe checked now, or the party will be de-
featcd in 1884. We prefer the party to this
"accidental Administration"
Will the Administration heed the warning ?
Probably not. The President has a chance
to see now what his course in Pennsylvania
and New-York is doing for the party i'll the
Nation. This is the first answer to the effort to
reinstate the machine in power above the
people, and it is SO plain that even the Admin
istration ought to be able to understand it.
The Administration must be with the party,
or against it. 1t will not be allowed to stand
above it as dictator. At the present rate of
progress it will soon be an Administration
without party.

evidently O bad year for Boss to undertake 70
lead the Republican party around by the nose.

We hope that no public demonstration Is 1ntended
in the removal of Miss Parnelps body from Borden
town to Boston, as would be indicated by tine phD-
LEGATION of the crcutOus route to be taken ana inc
significant stir among the Irish organizations
Public funerals In this country, from DIR. kane's
to President Garneld's, have invariably turned OUT
to be outrages against decency and decorum, ana IL
would be still moro shameful II the parade were
made over o woman. Miss Fanny Parneii, however
jealous her patriotism, was by birth and 1eeIne
gentlewoman. and no emergency can make it fit
ting that her dead body should be hailed from one
city to another to rouse the fast-waning enthusiasm
of the IRISH In the Land League If the leaders of
the cause find some action necessary to counteract
Mr. Ford,s SECESSION let them find some other slim
ulant to pull along the lines than this poor girPs
corpse.
A great many severe things have been said about
the nominations made by the machine at Saratoga.
but it was reserved for city newspaper to give
them the coup de grace when in bpngling effort to
say something complimentary to the State Commit
tees candidate for Large III re-
marked that Mr.. Howard CarrolPs nomination
would strengthen the ticket" Madam" said
the physician to lady who consulted him for an
offensive breath, Il don't think anything can cure
it, but if you should drink rum and eat onions IL
would help it some"
The Administration is in fair way to be inn
pressed with the fact that Guiteau's bullet did not
change the opinions of the people.
It Is sufficiently evident that il the Republicans
are to control the new Congress they must make
tremendous fight for it, Every district must be
contested, for single one may turn the scale In
view of this critical situation the conduct of the
Administration Committee in this State in delber-
atey throwing away all chance for eecting the
Congrcssman at-L Large shines with refueent brill
fancy.
We presume that nobody will ever again claim
that there is such person as Temperance Dem
ocrat in Ohio.
