 making some stir in France and this coun- try. Frenchmen who have shown their
 faith in de Lesseps' Panama canal scheme by
 buying shares do not appear to have faith
 enough in it to prevent their being thrown
 into panic by the fear that another canal
 will be attempted. They are selling their
 Panama canal securities" at rapid rate.
 The Nicaragua treaty now before the
 United States senate is understood to give to
 the United States the right to make and
 own canal across the Isthmus France
 cannot protest against the execution of this
 treaty with any show of reason. But Eng land may protest on account of the famous
 Clayton-Rulwer treaty, by which the United States unwisely entered into copartnership
 with Great Britain as to any policy to be
 pursued in Central America. At that time the Nicaraguan was universally recognized as the only feasible route for a ship canal,
 and the construction of a canal was looked
 upon as much more feasible and probable than the building of a railway that would connect the Atlantic and the Pacific
 coasts. The importance of facilitating
 such communication was deeply appar- ent to the statesmen of that period, and one of the first acts of General Fay
 1or's administration had been to send spe-
 eial minister to Nicaragua (dr. E. G. Squier) with authority to agree with that State for
 the extension of the protection of both coun-
 tries to any company of American citizens which should contract, in good faith, to con struct the proposed waterway. A treaty was effected, providing for the neutrality and pro- lection of the canal, for the free transit for ever of the citizens of the United States and their property through the territories of Mi caragua, and for the enti1e freedom of all the ports of the country
 Mr. Blaine had some diplomatic core spondence with Lord Granville few years
 ago concerning this treaty. He con- tended that the canal referred to in this agreement was the one whose corstruc- tion was then contemplated, but long since abandoned, and that it could not be con strued to apply to another enterprise of like character, begun many years after. More over, it was asserted, on behalf of the United States, that Great Britain had repeatedly vio- lated the stipulations made on her behalf in
 that treaty, and thus destroyed it's obligation on our part. These contentious, however, ! were not admitted by Lord Granville, and the questions arising under the treaty are 1 still open. It is not probable, however, that any serious complications will grow out of 1 the Nicaragua business.

An examination is now being made at Richmond, Missouri, of the manuscript of the Book of Mormon. The question to be determined is whether the errors in ortho- graphy and grammar which appeared in the original edition were in the copy which was furnished to the printers. The manuscript has remained in the hands of David Whit mer one of the three men who testified that they beheld the angel of the Lord bring down the plates from which the Bible was translated. He does not believe in poly gamy, however, and it is significant com mentary on the present creed of the Latter Day Saints that the original Book of Mor- mon made no mention of polygamy.
 The report of the department of agricul- ture showing the prices of farm products in the home markets makes it plain that the farmer, like the manufacturer, is suffering from depression which, however it may be accounted for, is real and discouraging Thus the average price of corn for the producer is only 3611s cents; being only IS cents in Ne braska. Wheat is only 65 cents bushel; 8 price for which it can hardly be raised Oats bring on the average only 20 cents, and of potatoes only 40 cents. The eastern consum- CT will hardly realize that these are authori- tative statistics, but such they are, and they in part account for the indisposition of the great sections of agricultural districts to pur- chase manufactured articles.
 America promises to become the greatest wine reproducing country in the world. Ten years from now our annual wine product will probably amount to 100, ,000, 900 gallons. Even then the industry will be only in it's infancy. California is great wine State, but as yet she has cultivated very little of her grape area. There are three great wine canters in this country The first is the Pa cife slope, the second is the Piedmont re- zion, or table lands between the Alleghanies and the Blue Ridge, including Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia and parts of Kentucky and Tennessee, the Indian territory, with large parts of New Mexico, Arizona, Arkan- saa, Kansas.

timated at from ~. 600 To J00,0eo Putting
the total at 40, Ge0, it is a larger number
than has been driven out Of Texas to the
northern states for several years. The great
majority, or s5 per cent, Of these cattle have
come over the usual drives. lmt it is believed
by many of the prominent cattle men that
this year will be the last in which cattle Will
traverse the drive in great numbers. Rail
roads have run into the cattle country Il
Texas. and il is being found that transporta-
ton by rail to the northern ranges is not
only more expeditions than driving, but is
cheaper. Twenty-Five per cent. of the cattle
sent north this year were transported by rail.
Cattle rounded up in Texas ON Monday were
shipped and fed by Saturday on Colorado
and western Kansas ranges. The drive. too,
is becoming restricted by settlement. and the
