all the risks, endured all the sueers and

Of similar nature that have preceded

Northern mind, 50 long disturbed by mis-

General Grant having said that but a

Railroads viii be settled by planters from

terror Of Mexico. and that this market
before the expiration Of the term set by
the treaty. will be flooded with Mexican
produced sugar. General Grants state
ment was based upon the further state
meHt that there was great scarcity Of
water IN the sugar cane districts OfMexicO.
aud that unless expensive irrigation was
res0rted 10 the crops would fail. Our New
Orleans contemporary takes issue with
Grant. and denies that there is such a
scarcity Of water in many Of the sugar
growing districts 81 Mexico. The reason
that 80 little sugar Is produced there, il
saws. i because Of the cost Of transport
ing il 70 market. This j. % great that the
farmers produce only enough 10 supply
the local demand. With cheap transpOr-
tatiOn the T5mes- Democrat would look 10
see Mexico supply all the sugar needed at

The New Nickels.

In view Of the fact that the three-cent
silver piece which has been in circulation
since 1863 bears nothing on its face but the
Roman numerals III, il seems a trifle
strange that any objection should be made
TO the new nickel. The three-cent piece
has given no trouble to the government,
and il is safe to say that the new nickel
will be equally as unObtrusive. Now that
a million and a quarter Of the new coins
are in circulation, il would be almost i'm
possible to withdraw them from the pub
lie. If the new nickel is called in and its
further coinage stopped, it must seem that
this is the day Of small things indeed.

The New York Herald says there is
hardly a defalcation on record in connec-
ton with banks, the details Of which do
not show that the long continued dishOn-
esty had been plainly written upon the
books Of the concern for months before
it was accidentally discovered. This, il
holds, can only happen by the failure Of
those charged with the examination Of
the accounts TO make proper scrutiny.

the examining directors individually re-
spOnsibIe for every dollar lost through
false entries upon the books which they
are supposed TO examine.

A great deal Of noisy approval is vOuch-
safed over the failure Of the river and har-
Dor bill in the Senate, but the fact is that
the bill was not killed by the great virtue
Of that body, but persisted from other
causes. The failure Of the bill will have
a bad effect on much Of the work now in
progress. General Wright, chief Of the
engineers, is quoted as saying, in regard
to the Potomac flats improvements: "The
result Of this will be to entail increased
cost on the government, as new contracts
will have to be made, and the force Of
wOrkmen employed under the present con-
tractors, which has become skilled in
their duties, will be disbanded and scat
tered. and to a great extent new and in
experienced wOrkmen will have to take
their places. The machinery and appli-
ances OF the contractors Will also be trans
feTred elsewhere"

made Tor his or her exclusive use and

Of such lands by outsiders, or persons re-
