FLORIDA SHIP CANAL.

Flatter1ng Prospects of it's Early Com
mencement and Completion.
New York, June 8.-The Florida ship
canal and transit company held meeting
to-day, presided over by Hon. John G.
Brown, of Tennessee. Highly encouraging
reports were heard from various commit
tees, and the feeling of confidence in the
success of the enterprise was very marked.
General Charles 2. Stone, chief engineer,
was presented. He stated he had ex-
amined fully into the reports of previous
engineers, and he entertained no doubt of
the feasibility CT constructing a tide water
ship canal across the peninsula of Florida.
He also stated that his assistant engineer,
A. F. Hill, is already on the ground in
Florida, and that the actual work of the
survey will begin Immediately. The survey
will be completed in about six weeks and
as soon as the exact route of the canal is
determined upon, contracts will be let and
work be pushed with all possible vigor.
1t is thought work will begin by Septem-
Der. General Stone has had large experien-
ces in Egypt il. connection with the Suez
canal. Leading capitalists of this country
and England are eager to furnish funds re-
CURED for the construction of the canal.
1t is we'll understood here that the canal
will have the backing and friendly CO.
operation of the great Texes and Arkan-
sas system of roads, with connection rami-
flying throughout the southwest and
extending through to the Pacific. General
Stone expects TO be i'll Florida in two
weeks

WASHINGTON, June g. The civil service
commission expect to inaugurate the hum
buggery of competitive examination on
July 20 in all the principal cities where
the parties have been selected to conduct
them, to continue until August s. AS far
as is known not single Democrat has
been selected as an examiner in any of the
cities which come under the operation of
the law. Democrat applicant can,
without magnifying glass, figure out
what chance he has to get an Office with
such an outfit. Eaton, the father of the
bill, which he saddled on Pendelton to per-
petuate the Republican party in office
without day, finds it necessary to
write daily a letter yard long defend
ing his position.
NOT A PROPHET.
The Star says: eff Mr.. Henry Waiter
son has any desire to maintain a reputa-
ton for accuracy in the field OF political
prophesy, he had better hedge on his pre-
diction that Randall will not get ten votes
for speaker, from the South. More than
openly advocating and working for Ran
dall's election. This is stated simply as a
political fact, and not with a view OF
booming Mr.. Randall or Of detracting
from any of his rivals"
PULLING WOOL OVER THEIR EYES.
The resolution in the platform adopted
by the Ohio Republican convention touch
ing the duty on wool which has for it's OBJ
ject the placing of those engaged in the
great wool interests of the state
is a farce on its face, and
serves to show how even statesmen
as great as senators lend themselves, to the
task of hoodwinking the speopie. First
the $4,000 wool growers of Ohio ought to
know that the duty on wool was reduced by
Republican, not Democratic votes. The
duty was fixed by committee on behalf
of the two houses upon which Ohio had
two representatives, John Sherman in the
senate and VIM. McKinleyEin the house.
The tariff bill with wool duty reduced re-
ceived the votes Of John Sherman and
every other Ohio representative in the
house, with the exception of Robinson, of
Kenton. Had the Ohio representa-
tives either in the conference com
mittee or in the house stood
solid against any reduction, it
wouldn't have been reduced. The wool
growers of Ohio might as well make up
their minds for the reason given that the
Republican party is absolutely powerless
to help them. They are indebted to the
Republican party for the plight in which
they now-fnd themselves and the only
relief they can expect must come from
the Democratic party, The third plank
the Republicans of Ohio put on their plat
form is only to pull wool over their eyes.
The Republican party Ill It's national as
well as state organizations Will fight to
keep the existing tariff just where 1t is,
and against any special bill for relief,
through feari will reopen the entire sub
iect, which they Go not want.

CHEMICAL AND MENTAL DYNAMITE.


The rather phenomenal genius who is en-
gagged in ventilating few novel theories
about dynamite, and who proposes in his
own good time TO ventlate the explosives
themselves, Professor Mezzerof, to-wit, de
livered lecture the other day before the "Fe'
mans Defense association" OF New York, in
which he made some rather amazing s'ate-
ments we Judge from the character OF them
that the Professors mind is itself, to large
extent, dynamite. He proposes, not only to
blow up all the despots and despotisms, and
every kind of political obstacle in the way OF
oppressed humanity, but to conduct all the
little familiar difficulties Of social life on a
dynamite base. ole Sees" he says 1.-THE time
when dynamite will be the great
weapon OF protection; when man
who fears an attack, or violence Of any
kind, will go around armed wi a
chunk o. dynamite instead Of revolver. II
attacked he has only to draw this dynamite
and cast it violently at his enemy, who will be
at once swept of the face of the globe" 1t
will be observed that this sangunary philan-
thropst does not see the man who proposes
to make the attack Ego around armed with a
chunk of dynamite" He, in that happy
social era, will probably use rawhde or,
perhaps, the prize ring artists weapons Of
ofense.
1t is commonly thought that the world, and
especially this country, has a pretty lively
time now with its sanguinary criminals, but
il professors like the sSeet-miuded Mezzeroif
afe going about loose to preach this dynamite
theory as a social gospel, the country is apt to
become perfect Ell Dorado for such. While
we would not put any restraint upon these
abnormal minds, Mezzeroh, Most and 9th ers
like them, we yet think the thing a great
evil, and that it does a great
deal of harm. Much OF the character of men
is formed by influences su n as this, falling
upon young minds just in their plastic state,
just when they should be reached by thos
that are sought to be afforded by schools and
churches. Familiarity with such thoughts is
itself great evil; aud greater than can be
imagined is the popular harvest of this sort Of
seed, which is reaped in after years.
We trust that when the time arrives al
which this left-handed phianthropist and
friend of man shall uncover his secrets for So
cial dispensation, if g. indeed the whole
thing is not mental dynamite, meas
ures will, at least, be taken to guard
society from the inviting state he so gaiy de-
crbes, to which universal thuggery an d slug
gerry are pleasant fancies.
