serious doubts.
For the Chagres River is one of those tropical
streams which runs almost dry one day, and the
next IS several miles WIDE carrying volume
of water like the Mississippi in flood. 1t is
quite capable of obliterating the canal bed IN
one of it's periodical outbreaks, and no engi-
necring device has yetbeen cOnceivedby which
il can be controlled. or the canal protected from
its flood risngs. The proposition to carry the
canal over the river was wild one, and cannot
be made to succeed. II would require a vaduct

tcrprisc would have to be altered, while 1t Is
doubtful whether any yiaduct IL either safe or

IN TILDENS Tolls.

at Chicago a party utterly incompetent to
govern and unfit to be trusted is struggling TO
escape the consequences of its own follies and
crimes There is the situation in nutshell.
The nomination of Governor Cleveland Is
generally thought wcll-nigh inevitable, and
vet the shrcwdest men of the party are very
much afraid it will prove fatal mistake.
Their hope is, not in themselves. but that one
old man may shove the helpless log called u
party into some safe situation not yet discOy-
cred. In order to cheat each other and their
followers, they joined for months in the cutlery
for Mr.. Tilden, and with characteristic trickery
his letter Of declination was kept back until a
vast amount of secret work had been done for
Governor Cleveland. Hardly any other cadi-
date was so little known or liked by the Demo
cratic masses, and yet it was found easy to get
nearly half the delegates committed to Cleye-
land as second choice OF the shrcwd men
who see the danger, many are themselves so
committed that they cannot take the lead in
throwing him overheard. The advice of others
is attributed to personal hostility All are
hopeles,ly divided, both as to candidates and
platform, 80 that they seem unable to agree
even upon necessary preliminanes The only
way, some think, TO escape nomination dctat-
cd by the corrupt rings Of New-Iork and
Brooklyn rs a reward for shielding exposed
officials is 70 force Mr. 1iden himself to run.
Others indulge frantic hope that he may yet
have some trick to play, and may make Mr..
Randall or somebody else his lcgatee. Others
still, in order to escape from Tilden and his
tolls and tools would rush into the arms of the
Massachusetts, Widow" And this is the party
which Processes to have principles enough and
brains enough 10 govern great Nation
II is not the least discrcdtable phase of this
spectacle that many of the delegates, possibly
n majority, believe that Mr.. Tilden did not tell
the truth when he said that he could not aud
would not run. The man they prefer for Presi-

A DUDE POLICE.

Mr. John Kelly, in addressing the braves at Tam
many Hall on the Fourth, took occasion to bc sar-
castle about Civil Service examination and educs-
ton generally, in relation 10 tho police of Now
York. lie said ho had boon told that if
young mon give attention to mental studies
they weaken their bodies; and his inference
was that If tho candidates for the police studied
they too would be weakened, 50 that if we have
a dude police they would not he very well qualified

think" asked Mr.. Kelly, that dude police will
protect US in our honest" There is no present
danger Of dude police, but many citizens Of New
York will be inclined to think that certain in

fshness would improve the present force. For the
better information which even moderate educa-
ton imparts 10 men renders them more polite kind
~ obliging and reasonable and therefore smoothes
their intercourse with their fellow-men. Now no
policeman however stalwart physically, can be the
worse for so much knowledge as would keep HIM
from clubbing peaceable citizens their own
doorsteps; from brutally asssulting helpless and
sometimes unconscious drunken men; from using
his authority Ilegitimately to fOrtify his personal
con sequence; from Inauifestng bOorish and Offen
sive manners when on duty from treating his
masters tho public, very much though he thought
them his underlinPs aud vassals and from being
guilty Of favoritism when some influential ruff
ian comes within his jurisdiction.
In none of these and many similar instances Is 1t
conceivable that the police force could he weak

il on the contrary quite prevalent impression that
heretofore they have erred on the side opposed 10

Among tho interesting stories told at Chicago Is
one that General Butler can carry Massachusetts.
The truth is that he received many thousand votes
Tor Governor which would not be cast for him for
President and nevertheless was beaten about
10000 votes for Governor On National issues
Massachusetts ought TO repeat the $4,000 majority
that it gave for President Garfield.
The most picturesque and important relic of the
past in California is the old stone church of San
Carlos in the Carmelo Valley 1t was founded by
Father Junipcro Sierra President of the Francisco
Missions in l771. and there, Oh August %. 1884.
he died. and was buried in the church. II has long
been a rcproach to California that this historic
building has been permitted TO fall into decay, bnt
at last an effort is being made to preserve il. An
address has been Issued to the people of California
signed by the Governor, the Mayor of san Fran
cisco, several cX-GOyenOrs, and "A large number Of
prominent citizens, calling for contributions for
the restoration of the venerable ediice. 1t is pro-
posed 20 complete the restoration, which will cost
1000, by August Is, which will be the hun
dredth anniversary of the death of Father JuniperO
Serra and TO celebrate that day in fitting manner
The church s. to he made a fac .simile of what it
was when first built The work of restoration is
already well under way, and strong hopes en-
tertained of the success of the undertaking. There
may be old Calfornians In New-York who would
like to manifest their attachment 20 the Golden
state IN practical way, and the subscription for
the restoration of the old San Carlos Mission
Church affords them good opportunity to express
their sentiments. And when Father Sierra has been
rehabllltated it will be in order TO put proper
monument over the site of the historic mill-race at
Coloma where James w. Marshall found the first
piece of gold.
The yell ofjoy which was raised when the Eitz
John Porter bin pas>cdthc House sounded unpeas-
antly Ike the racket made on the second day al
Gettysburg But the next day other people were
cheering. II of the most mysterious phenomena
of modern times that the rebel army from 1861 to
1860. and the Democratic party ever since, never
could refrain from yelling in triumph at the Begin
ming of a contest. II must get trcsOne To have
shouts Of JOY followcdrguarly by singing defeats.
The Democrats find it rather difficult to please
four sets of people at once, the County Democratic
ring Tammany Hall. Boss McLuughns ring. and
the Dependents. But that should occasion no
prise The beauty of the so-callcd Independent
that they would not be satisfied with "a nOmiunt,

TILE PANAKA OWL.

The report Of Lieutenant Brown to the Sec
rotary of the Navy upon the condition of the
Panama Canal is not likely to be Endorsed by
VI. de Lesseps and his friends, but it runs
parallel with the many irresponsible statements
which have been published during the past six
months. According to all these, and according
to Lieutenant Brown, the progress of the cana
has thus far been very slow, while the cngi-
neering difficulties have been Increasing con
tinually, and the sanitary prospects are ex-
tremely gloomy. 1t is said that only one
thirticth OF the work is done, and some OF that
principally excavation not permanently; that
10000, 900 francs have al"eady been expended,
with little 20 show for il; that useless machin-
cry has been imported at great cost; that
while there is much sickness already, which
has compelled an expenditure of 100000
francs in hospitals, an epidemic of yellow fever
is apprchended; that finally the crucial prob
lem, the management OF the Chagres River, has
not been satisfactorily solved. Now the
Chagres River has always been the most for
