El gran cortador de istmos ha dado
una conferencia en- Lyon sobre las di-
ferentes empresas que ha patrocinado.
Hablando del canal de Panama, dijo:
clos trabajos del de Panama siguen
con actividad y est&n en- buen camino.
La salud de los obreros, que Sc puso d
prueba al principle, ahora es buena. "
Abord6 Iuego Lesseps la question
del Sudan:
He luchado energicamente, dijo, en-
pro de la abstenci6n de Francia en-
Egipto.
Las ruinas que Sc amontonan en-
aquel pais, hubieran caido sobre nos
otros.
Los ingleses retrocedens despues de
una derrota, pero los franceses no pue-
den hacerlo. (Aplausos.)
Ell orador luego llam6 Ia atenci6n de
su auditorio sobre ell mar interior afri-
cano: =
eel mar interior, dijo, es una cuen-
ca situada q cierta distancia del Medi-
terraneo que termina en- ell golfo de
Gales: en- este punto de la costa, ell
mar es mas profundo que en- los res
tantes. Hay alli dos metros 20 de
marea; de modo que ell mar sc arroja-
r& por dicho punto cuando ell canal es-
te hecho.
FL mar interior tiene una superfcie
ounce veces mayor que la del lago de
Gine5ra. Mr.. Roudaire, con una cons
tancia incredible, Sc ocupa en- esta en-
presa hace catorce amos; gu proyecto
ofrece gran interes por aumentar los
terrenos laborables de Argel. He to-
mado la defensa de Mr.. Roudaire, que
todo ell mundo atacaba, solo porque
habia hecho algo: he pedido al Gobier-
no que lie ayudara. Cuando mi recep-
ci6n en- la Academia de Ciencias, lla-
me la atenci6n de aquella docta compa-
fila sobre esta cuesti6n.
El ano pasado, de ochenta academi-
cos, 20 ' otros dos 8 tres fnimos dnica-
mente sus defensores; aquellos sabios
exageraban la cantidad de evaporation
del aqua. Con todo, desde que acom-
pane 4 Mr.. Roudaire Africa, Ell asun-
to ha marchado, Sc han reunido varios
ingenieros, y los trabajos Sc emprende-
ran cuanto antes.
FL Gobierno no puede oponerse d es-
te proyecto que acabar& con las inva-
stones del Sud. En- lugsr de enenis-
tarnos con los &rabes, como hubiera SUI
cedido con el proyecto de colonization
Official, nos haremos amigos de ellos y
nos indemnizaremos de cincuenta afios

publican name and for the American
character, was unfit to be made. They
desire not to evade the proper respon-
sibiiity of American citizens by de-
clining to vote, and they desire also
to make their votes as effective rs pos
sible for honest and pure and wise adj
ministration. How can s,tch voters
who at this election cannot conscien-
tiously support the Republican can
didate, promote the objects which they
desire to accomplish more surely than
by supporting the candidate who rep-
resents qualities, spirit and purpose
which they all agree in believing to
be of controlling Importance in this
election? No citizen can rightfully
avoid the issue, or refuse to cast his
vote. The ballot is trust. Each
voter is trustee for good government
bound to answer to his private con-
science for his public acts. This con-
fdence, therefore, assuming that Re
publican and Independent voters who
for any reason cannot sustain the Re
publican nomination, desire to take e
course which under the necessary con-
ditions and constitutional methods of
4 Presidential election, will most read
lily and surely secure the result at
which they aim.
We respectfully recommend to all
such citizens to support the electors
who will vote for Grover Cleveland in
order most efectually to enforce their
conviction that nothing could more
deeply stain the American name and
prove more disastrous to the public
welfare than the deliberate indiffer-
ence Of the people of the United States
to increasing public corruption and to
want of official integrity in the high
est trust Of the Government.

the Chicago Nc,es, a Republican pa

"But Logan did rot confine his ha-
tired to the North to mere words, as the
following excerpt from an affidavit
sworn to before John Q. Harmon,
Clerk of the Circuit Court of Alexan-

ningham's company 60 of the FIT
teenth Regiment Tennessee Volunteers;
that Major General john 4. Logan,

the chief person who raised said COM

same that said Logan accompan led

rion, Williamson county, Illinois, were
members of said company and will at
test the truth of this statement
ct is a fact that up to July s, 1861
although repeatedly urged to abandon
his reasonable attitude, Logan never
by act or voice gave his adherence tc
the Union. On that date the Chicago
Tribune received the following in it.

This is the period of politeness. An
old gentleman and his daughter drove
into town the other day with some pro-
duce, and stopped in front Of store.
A citizen rushed off of the sidewalk and
hailed, them joyfully, helped them out
of the wagon and when they got ready
to unload got in and handed out things.
