A PROPOSED GREET WORK.

The preliminary and advisory report of
an engineer has been made on the proposed
Florida ship canal, and tproves to be very
hattering. the engineer iu none other
a resident Of Benicia, in this State, and
lately was prominent in the service of the
Khedive of Egypt, having served thirteen
years upon his staff. During all that time
he watched Che operation of the Suez ca
nal, and became familiar with the methods
employed in its construction, and the
means taken for its preservation. a num-
Der of surveys have been made for the
Florida canal in the past, but none of them
have resulted in conclusions that justified
the work being undertaken until General
Stone took hold of the scheme. He has
had the assistance of five of the most com.
pesent engineers to be commanded In the
country, and the field work and the coast
survey being now completed the corps is
enabled TO report satisfactorily as to the
prscEicability and probable cost of the
work, and the time to be consumed in its
prosecution. The two main points TO be
settled were those Of feasibility and of
cost, and until they could be stated, on the
basis of reliable data, it was useless to
consider the cutting of the Florida PENN
sula as thing st all probable. General
Stone declares chat on both of these mat.
tiers the engineering corps is able TO satisfy
the most skepsical. So, then, the canal
can be cut Co pay, and that, to the Ameri-
can mind, is the one thing to be deter.
minsd. The commercial benefits to be
derived from such a waterway will be i'm.
rnense, and the entire country is therefore
interested in the scheme, which
is to be ct once entered upon
by private company. The time
saved to steamers and sailing vessels into
and out of the gulf will be from three to
seven days. This is. in itself, factor of
the highest Importance, for the cost OF
running steamer by the day is exceed
ingly heavy. On ordinary freight steam
ere, the saving by this short cut will be
some 81, 500 in running expenses alone,
according TO the estimates of the engi-
neers. The navigation of the Florida
straits is exceedingly hazardous, and this
the canal will entirely eliminate, and thus
insurance will be much reduced, and the
gain win be to the capisal invested in the
nature of new revenue. So enthusiastic
is General Stone on the benefits of the

Whoever is fairly informed on sanitary
topics, and acquainted with the results Of
sanitary experiments, and visits what is
known as the Chinese quarter of this city,
or reads the local accounts of its unsani-
tary condition, must be driven to the con.
clusion that in Che heart of the city there
exist nuisances which seriously menace
public health. That these premises, where
two ami three story vaults above the
surface of the earth are quite filed with
offensive matter, which poisons the air
and soil in three of the central business
blocks, should be declared nuissnces,
does not admit of contradiction. The
Chinese occupants of Che lots are not 80
greatly to blame as the landlords who
permit this state of affairs. There would
seem TO be 40 reason whatever why citi-
zens il other parts of the city should be
compelled 20 keep their premises in a
reasonable state of cleanliness, while those
who rent to Chinese are practically
exempted from the operation of the health
ordinances. The I street nuisances should
be abated utterly, and no compromise
made on the basis Of a spasmolic cleaning
up. and smotheTing of noxious vspors
with disinfeotsnts. The property ia all
valuable and brings in ample revenue to
the owners, for whom there is 10 sort of
excuse to be made for permitting the
premises to become dangerous to the
health of the people.

TIE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The report of the mercantile agencies
show that the results of the business of the
country for the first six months of the year
1888 were not nearly go satisfactory as had
been anticipated. The failures in the first
quarter were 2,S2I, with S3S, 372. 643 of
liabilities in the second quarter, 1876,
with S27, SIG, 39l Of liabilities They were
far greater than in the corresponding
periods in 1882, exceeding the latter by
l,O40, while the liabilities in 1883, to July
lat, are $50, 900, 900 and over, to $50, 000,-
600 for 1882. The arrangement in bust.
ness these figures indicate, the agencies
find much difficulty in accounting for.
Some Of the disasters were due to inju.
dicious speculation, some to departure
from the well known principles in the
conduct of sound business. Consumers
were fairly prosperous, agricultural re-
turns large, wages not greatly lessened,
and the export demand active.
Yet the absorption of goods was
small in proportion TO production.
The Dun & Co. Review declares that, SO
far as the productive and absorbing power
of the country itself is concerned, it is
difficult to imagine circumstances more
favorable than now exist The growth of
the country has been rapid, and the con-
c,usion is drawn that in a very short time
the demand for products will grow to the
extent of present production. Waiting
for this state Of things is the only remedy
the Agency proposes, and the growth of
the country, and the increase of the home
market demands, it holds, warrants the
belief of comparatively early return to a
better commercial condition. The general
tendency to speculation, go rampant early
in the year, is lessening, and the belief is
entertained that the vast sums tied up in
margins will be set free to great extent,
and tend to set right the commercial world
soon. These speculations are hopeful, and
in most part would appear to be well
grounded; but we shall not be disap-
pointed if the year rolls by before any
marked change for the better will be OBJ
ssrvable

canal generally, that he declares there is
no enterprise now contemplated or in pro-
gress that would confer greater benefit
upon commerce, OF that could depend upon
larger business. This extravagance of
statement may be pardoned in the General,
as also the prediction that the current OF
shipments of grain and cotton and beef
from the West will be changed SO as to
pass down the Mississippi, and thence
through the canal. However, the latter
prediction may not be after all greatly
exaggerated one. Relative to the hight Of
the water shed to be cut, the survey shows
that the highest point to be crossed is of a
less altitude than that conquered by the
Suez canal. Az to ports, the engineer ad-
mits that they must be made, but that cost
is included in the estimates. It is deemed
probable that work will be commenced on
the Florida ship canal within the next Elk
months, and that the task can be COM
pleted within three years.

WHY they WERE DEFEATED.

A new excuse has been found for the &C.
feat of our rifemen at Wimbledon range.
It is noted that the first half of the match
was shot on three ranges of 300, 800 and
600 yards respectively. On these the
Americans were victorious, because these
are the military distances to which cur
men are trained. But the latter part of
the match was shot on 800, 900 and 200
yard ranges, and with these only tech
nically expert marksmen are familiar. These
latter ranges are not considered of value in
military circles, and our men arenot trained
to them. As result we we're defeated.
So the resl or practical victory was with
our team, while the expert triumph was
with the British. Some of the Engliah
journals have gone SO far as to admit this,
but it may be that this was only graceful
method employed by them to show their
magnanimity to the defeated. 1t is some
small comfort TO be able to draw even ever
so little consolation from defeat, and our
British cousins are evidently perfectly will
ing that the American hackers may find
and claim all they please. Another time
American soldiers will prove to British vol
unteers that disaster has not been without
benefit to the Yankee marksmen.

1aEggNArIoNAL sAg1rARY BOARD.

The National zsitung is authority for
the statement that seven of the European
Powers are now negotiating for the estab-
lishment of an International Sanitary
Board. 1t is to be hoped that the Zeitung
is correctly advised, and that the negotia-
tions will prove effective. At . time when
dread pestilence threatens to sweep
around the world with awful fury, the
great Importance of well defined commu-
nifty of action between the great nations as
to quarantine regulations, the erection of
barriers against epidemic contagion and
the exclusion of infected goods from entry
at ports, is clearly seen to be advantageous.
The regret must be felt that steps in this
direction were not taken long ago. The
civilized peoples of the earth owe it to
themselves and to each other to adopt and
consent to all methods of prevention and
exclusion of contagious diseases that mod
ern science and experience prove to be eff
cacious.

HEREDITARY DIsEAsE.-There is, strictly
speaking, no such thing as hereditary dis
ease. Children are not born diseased, how.
ever (some specific maladies excepted)
much one or both parents are, but they are
simply born with predisposition to such
parental malady. They are born with the
material, with the producing cause, per.
haps, but actual disease will no more &C.
cur unless exciting causes are applied than
powder would detonate without the aid of
fire. The observant reader has often felt
surprised at seeing robust, hearty children
of parents who were seemingly not greatly
removed from the grave, and if rational
care were taken of such children they
would live to become healthy men and
women. The practical lesson should be a
hopeful diligence in the rearing of children
of diseased parentage. The difference be-
tween the children of healthy and diseased
parents amounts to this As to the latter,
