THE PANAMA CANAL.

Before De Lesseps began work on the Panama canal there were many who doubted that he would get money enough to begin, because it seemed to them that the scheme was wild one But the indomitable old man got the money he wanted, and the great work is we'll under way. Rut the doubt as to it's feasibility has not yet been re- moved As our readers will remem- Der, government officer recently made report in which he showed the almost if not quite insuperabIe obstacles in the way of the canal diggers. And now eomest the Panama Star and Herald, paper which would not with out reason discredit an enterprise which, dur ing it's progress and much more after it's &C., complishment, must add greatly to the wealth and importance of the city where it is published, and says that there is growing conviction in the minds of many peo- pie that no private company can carry the canal to successful com pletion; that it is evident that the cost will reach ten times the sixty million dollars subscribed, and the possibility of obtaining money enough from private sources is very small; that if the work receives no governmental aid it will scarcely be we'll under way before the funds will be exhausted, and it must of course be aban- doned, when there would be an opportunity for the government to step in and finish it. These doubts are suggested simply by the magnitude of the work, without reference to its peculiarly bafHing and perplexing difficulties Another reason for distrust is the retirement from the enterprise of Mr. Richies, late the superior agent of the canal company, who says that there has been gross misrepresentation of the amount of work done and to be done, that the company has refused to rectify the error, and he therefore is unwilling to continue in it's service and aid in deceiving the public by his silence. He says that the first calculations on the canals level are so far wrong that some 10000, 900 than were ordinarily provided for, at an ex- pense of $62, ,OOO, ,O0O in gold. More over, it has been found that a tide-level canal through the isthmus will be impossible by reason of the uncomfortable currents that would rush through it. To overcome this obstacle a system of tide basins and docks will have to be constructed at Panama and below it at a cost of $3O, 100000.
 These are assertions which even the en- thusiastie De Lesseps will find hard to deal with. If they are correct the great canal will not be finished in four years, as De Les seps said it would, and it is doubtful if it is finished in forty years.

A Monument that Blossoms.

From the Lewiston, Me. Journal.
 A Journal reporter wandered down to J. B. Hams grist mill Tuesday, On the window sill of the office was a bunch of vigorous red roses-the old-fashioned single roses with great yellow centers and petals of solid sun shine. Such roses as grow rank in natural beauty in the old-fashioned country garden amid tiger lilies, "chiny aster,'' and mari golds, and whose 1oveliness to many is dear to the memory. Ex-Mayor Ham walked up to the bench and said: 'FYes, sir, they are beautiful roses, and these roses have history. I have picked punches of roses from that bush every year without fail for nearly ii not quite, 50 years. The bush grows on the old place of my great grandfather, Caleb Barker on the Lisbon road He was one of the first settlers there-the pioneer. He was my mothers grandfather He planted the rose bush. Nobody knows where he died or when he died. or where he was buried. We have no record but his name. Nobody is alive who knew him. This is good subject for 8 poet. ain't it? This rose bush was full of flowers year after year, never failing receiv- ing no care, but budding and blossonling for &l that. Everybody around there says that Caleb Barker planted it over hundred years ago. It blooms in memory of him. A grave stone would have fallen down and been buried, but that great, glorious bunch of roses-Caleb Barker's rose bush is just as beautiful as it ever was. A strange thing about it, too, is the freedom of the bush from insects and vermin. There is not worm to be found on the bush" The blossoms are the largest single roses we ever saw.

On the 22d day of last April William Henry Shea of Newport deliberately and wilfully murdered Eugene Barker, formerly police officer of that city. He was arrested, grand jury summoned with reasonable prompti- tude, and an indictment for murder was brought against Shea. Upon this the prison er went before the Supreme court of the State and asked for change of venue. The full bench heard the case, at reasonable length, took 8 reasonable time to consider it and denied the petition. July 18th Shea was put to trial, 8 reasonable amount of time was given to the evidence and the arguments, and on the 18th of July, just two days later, he was convicted of murder in the first de gree and sentenced to the State prison for life, that being the severest penalty allowed by the laws of Rhode Island. This kind of work could be proftably initiated in Connec- ticut.
 Two hundred and seventy-eight thousand assertions from the Union army were record ed during the war. A recent act of Con gress provides for the relief of "certain soldiers from the charge of desertion." The Secretary of War is authorized to relieve from this charge any volunteer who served six months, provided "such soldier served faith fully a until the expiration of his term of enlistment, or until May 1, 1865, or was pre- vented from so serving by wounds received or disease contracted in the line of duty, and provided that no soldier shall be relieved who, not being sick or wounded, left his command without proper authority while in the presence of the enemy" The secretary
 is also authorized to relieve from this charge any soldier (volunteer or regular) who re- turned to his command within reasonable time (probably 30 days will be the limit and served to the end of his term or of the war faithfully or until discharged; also in the case of death of wounds or disease while ab- sent, before their commands were mustered out; also and finally in the case of furloughed soldiers dying from injuries or disease con tracted in the line of duty, before their com mands were mustered out. Certificates of discharge will be issued to such soldiers, and in case they served six months their claim to pay and bounty becomes valid. It is estimated that about 110,0 will be en-
 titled to relief under this act, and it will take large sum of money to pay the claims.

From many they extorted pledges that they
 would vote the Democratic ticket. They
 broke up Republican meetings. They made
 night hideous with cannon. This went on
 till the Republican voters in large numbers
 fled to the woods, and the Democratic minor
 ity had an easy victory in the election. The
 commander of this band was one Wheeler,
 and his lieutenant one Bailey.
 The day before election the armed com
 pany waited upon Print Matthews, the lead
 ing Republican of the county. Matthews
 was the principal citizen of the county,
 wealthy merchant with two sons in college,
 and two grown daughters in his house. He
 was generous, brave, liberal benefactor of
 schools and churches. No man ever asked
 him for favor and was refused. The Demo-
 cratic witnesses testified that everybody liked
 him if it were not for his politics. They
 drew up in the road near his gate and sent
 him demand in writing that he should ab-
 stain from voting the next day. He answered
 the messenger: ''It seems to me this is 8
 very strange thing in republican govern
 ment. I have tried to be useful to society
 every way that could. I have never done
 any of you any harm. I admit that it is in
 your power to murder me, but am going to
 vote tomorrow unless you do kill me- Matthews went to the polls and cast the first vote in the morning. As he placed it in the box Wheeler, who was the Democratic
 challenger, shot him dead with the charge of one barrel in the heart and another just be low the throat The sound of the gun was
 heard by Matthews wife and daughter as they sat in the porch of their home.
 There was mass meeting the next day, in which exultant resolutions were passed, declaring that if any attempt were made to revenge Matthews death, his relatives should be held responsible, warning his family to
 keep out of politics in future, declaring that ''Copiah shakes hands with Yazoo;" and ad- journing to meet at the call of the chairman of the Democratic committee. Yazoo is the county so notorious for election frauds and crimes, where Dixon was shot in the back a few years ago. These resolutions were in the hand writing of the Democratic district at torney. Bailey, the second in command, made boastful speech, describing the method by which they had carried the county. He drew pistol and said, ''We took along something like this. It is the best method of electioneering I ever have seen. If those men who have left us do not come back to us, believe you will kill them out without my advice' Wheeler, the murderer, was made city marshal of Hazelhurst few weeks after, and Riley, his lieutenant, is, I am told, the Democratic candidate for presidential elector.
 Such, my innocent college president and venerable doctor of divinity is the way your Democratic allies treat Independent move ments in Mississippi

ATERRTRLE PICTURE,

Extract from Senator HOaroS Boston
 Speech-What the "Independents,
 who Votes for Cleveland Votes to
 Sanction and Assist.
 There are three States, Mississippi Lou- isiana and South Carolina, to say nothing of others, in which, beyond all question, the electoral vote recorded at the coming cleo tion will have no relation whatever to the will of the people. Unless the brave and gal 1ant white men who are acting with Malone can win just ice from the fears of Democrats. we must add to these States Virginia. These three States cast twenty-six electoral votes; with Virginia they cast forty. Now giving to Governor Cleveland all the States that his enthusiastic supporters can hope for, he will fall far short of an election, unless the votes of these States, ,wrested from their Republican majorities by crime and fraud, be counted in his favor.
 The young reformer who votes for Cleye- land cannot help to elect him. He can only help to make possible the successful accom- plishment of the crime by which minority shall usurp the government of the country The process is very simple and familiar It is known as the Mississippi plan Violence and murder are made use of until the minor ity get the election offices into their hands. and thenceforth the ascendency is maintained by the easier way of tissue ballots and fraud ulent counting. These things will scarcely be denied by southern Democrat in private
 The leading Democratic papers in each of these States l have named, The Charleston News in South Carolina, The New Orleans Picayune in Louisiana, The Richmond State in Virginia, The Vicksburg Post in Mississip- pi have in substance admitted these facts. and all but the last have vindicated them as necessity.
 You tell me Governor Cleveland is not re- sponsible for these things You know very well that he is seeking to obtain the presi- dency at the price of these things. If he were to declare in a manner that showed that he was in earnest that he would, if President use the power vested in him for their sup- pression, or if he should declare, as an honest man should do, that he would not take an office gained by such means, he could not get Democratic vote south of Mason and Dix on's line.
 My friends, ,and I know whereof speak. I was charged @ few months ago with the duty of investigating the election methods in the State of Mississippi. It was not question of negro supremacy. Some six or seven hun dred white men had got tired of the Democra- cy and had joined the Republicans to form an Independent party in Copiah county. Mis- sissippi. A band of 15O men, all Democrats
 composed, as was admitted, of the best eff, gems, armed with rifles and shot guns. mount- ed, rode about that county for fortnight be- fore election. They visited the dwellings of large numbers of Republicans in the night time. Some they murdered in their homes. Others they logged and otherwise abused.

 From MT Will jam w.

The result was, however, marvellous and gratifying be- yond measure Since using these Bitters have not lost & days work. They take right hold and the ara al lyyaV
