Over 100000 has been spent in
establishing homes for the engineers
and working men along the route
of the Panama ship canal. There is
plenty of money there, and only one
thing more common than cash, and
that is death. Men die like leaves in
autumn. Only the Italians appear to
live. The dead are disposed of with
out ceremony. A shallow grave, no
prayers, and all is in moment forgot
ten. There are now $4,000 men at
work on the canal, mostly negroes
from Jamaica and the French West
Indies. These negroes are brought
over in droves as those at work die
and a correspondent predicts that no
two-thirds of the $4,000 laborers now
at work will be alive a year from now.
It's dreadful. Five thousand died
during the past three months; but the
large pay tempts men to brave all
danger.

deeply impressed with many Of the icas
contained in the platform Of your party,
and have the utmost conf lence IN the
true patriotism and pure intentions of
the great mass Of its supporters, yet cx-
periencc teaches US that party platforms
are but political platitudes which have
but little practical force, AMI particular
" /. this so when the purity candidate
does not command the highest confidence
Of the people. The time has come when
the people should now more than ever,
pay special attention to the moral and
intellectual worth Of all candidates for
office, the want of which has already
Zone much toward bringing our politi-
cal system into disrepute.
As between General Butler and the
,rher candidates for President, | have
concluded to support the Hon. James
!. Blaine, because of his high character
IS an Americn citizen and his great
mind and ndomitablo will, his superior
raining and long experience in public
ife, with liberal views on all great
Iuestions of public utility, all of which
qualify him for the high and
espousbIe duties of Chief Magistrate of I
bis mighty Nation, and as such he will |
e fully able to originate, formulate and I
nforce national policy, to which he
lands pledged, in tie special interest Of
ur American Milton and its Industries.
nd further, to better secure, under the
rejection of the American flag, the
