Our honorable Representative, Mr..
Larkin, seems to have made n taur pas,
in late published communication to
the Franklin County News, when he
inveighcd against immigration, and
very naturally, all persons of foreign
birth, or who have come to live with
us, feel offended. We think that Mr..
Larkin did not "weigh his words WELL

personally, but is seriously in fault if he
does not think it to the benefit of the
whole country to have immigration.
The Irish, Germans, Swiss and French
are all elements of the Caucasian race
that we should be proud of. If there
should DO some among them who arc
unworthy, there are as many unworthy,
in proportion, among our native popula.

would result in our disadvantage, fol
surely the immigration to this section Of
country embraces men and women who
are worthy in every respect.

cross-eye Wants an Apology

To the Home Journal
Unfortunately for W. A. Lnrkin, he,
through the columns of the Franklin
County News, put his foot on immigra-
ton, for which the State, through its
agents, have been laboring for years,
and about which every landowner in
Tennessee is directly interested. |
therefore suggest to Mr.. Larkin that he
retreat to his Dixon lane and write up
an apology, stating for his apology that
he thought at the time of writing said

dorse his feelings in the premises, and
secure his reelection to the Legislature.

Woman at Home is the title Of n
monthly journal published in Nashville.
Among its contributors We notice the
name Of Mrs. Novella Marks, wife of ex.
Gov. Marks In the last issue Of "Wo.
man ut Home" we find an article from
Mrs. Marks, headed, " Making and
Keeping Friends" 1t closes in the fol.
lowing choice words:
" If we would have honest persons to
be our friends, We must cultivate nice
sense of honor. The brave man does
not claim the coward fUl his friend
There Is no true sympathy between the
man OF temperance and the inehriate ;
and so we will find it through the long
catalogue Of virtues, If we would num-
Der our friends among the true and the
good, we must ourselves be true to all
the higher principles of our nature.
Through all kinds of msiortunes, if we
deserve friends We will have them.
Sometimes our road may be cloudod
with dust, the ,horns sharp Heath our
travel-worn feet, and our burdens
seem heavier than we can bear, but we
will find the outstretchcd hand of friend.

wine and oil to our bruises and words

friendships are never broken, and love

A VERY fshy story comes from
Philadelphia to the effect that citi-
zeii of that city claims to have discov-
cred fleet Of sunken Spanish gal
Icons in Vigo bay, Spain. His claim
is that the galleons were sunk early
in the eighteenth century and that
they contained bullion to the amount
of $4,000, 900. He has made some
observations on the scene of "the
wreck, "and has the permission Of the
Spanish government to proceed in his
work of fishing up the wealth which
he says is SO easy obtainable there.
The next step in the scheme will
probably be the formation Of stock
company Of gullibles who will live in
hope for few years while the origi-
nator of the scheme will be living on
them.--Republican.

Progress of the Panama Canal.

The sanguine friends of the Pana,
ma canal project have evidently un-
derrated the expense of the enterprise
and the difficulties to be surmounted
On paper it is easy to show that a
waterway, A miles long, % feet deep.
and from 81 to 1862 feet wide, can be
completed and opened for traffic in
the latter part of 1888 but these
moderate figures do not bring before
the eye with sufficient vividness the
great masses of solid rock to be cut
away. In some places it has been
found necessary to make cuts nearly
thousand feet in width. Even in
districts where no such mineral bar
riers exist the ground is uneven, and
frequently SO high that the levelling
process will be long and tedious. Ac-
cording to the reckoning of the engi-
neers 100000 cubic meters of mud,
earth and rock must be disposed of,
and it is needless to say that even a
great army of laborers will find this
task serious drain upon their capac-
tiles. BY the terms of the contract
the company is allowed until 1893 to
finish the work, and an esteemed con-
temporary is of opinion that NJ. De
Lesseps may congratulate himself if
his work has been accomplished by
1891. Original estimates placed the
cost of construction at 6O0,0OO,O0O
francs, but one-third of this amount
has already beer paid out and much
more than two-t thirds of the labor re-
mains to be performed. The total
cost Of the Suez canal was double the
sum stated in the prospectus, and the
Mount Gents, St. Gothard and Hoosac
tunnels consumed a greater outlay
than their promoters anticipated. Mi
nor works, such as hospitals. dams,
short branch railways, docks, piers
and harbors swallow up large part
Of the money intended for the canal,
and rolling stock, dredges, tools, YES
sells, houses for laborers and other ar
ticles materially swell the expense
account. This is the dark side Of the
picture, but the bright side should not
be forgotten. Great industry and skill
have been displayed, and there is lit
tie reason to doubt that the work will |
eventually be an important accession
to the worlds commercial factors. By
[essening the time spent in many voy-
ages and obviating the necessity Of
he dangerous trip around the Horn,
t will rebound to the benefit of ship
owners and reduce the cost of many
South American and Pacific products.
There will be business enough for
he canal and for the Panama railroad
also, but while it is unquestionable
hat the water way will be boon to
shipping interests, it is not SO clear
hat it will prove bonanza to its
MISUNDERSTANDING World.
