The announcement that Senator Ed
mundS of Vermont will advocate the es-
Enlistment of government telegraph
system by Congress indicates that at least
one question of real public interest and
Importance will be presented for discus
sion at the coming session. Mr.. Ed
munds's position on this subject was dis
tinctly defined some time ago; and we
shallbe glad if he sees the way clear to an
effort to secure the needed legislation.
OF course as soon as the matter is broach-
ed, we hear afresh from the representa-.
tives of interested parties, the old cry
that the addition of "a telegraph system to
the postal system will mean centralIza-
ton, increase of government patronage,
and various evils. These are simply bug
bears. The project to establish govern
ment telegraph, is as distinctly for the in
terest of the pCOple-of the masses as dis
tinguished from the government and the
oflice-holders-as any public measure can
be. The government telegraph is prop
er adjunct of the postal system. 1t can
be and will be-for it is sure to come
run vastly cheaper by the government
than by private corporations and monop-
olies. We have cheap postage This will
give the people cheap telegraphing. 1t
will at most, require but very moderate
increase of the force of clerks and officials
in government employ; and there is no
more reason for Directing to the moder-
ate addition needed than there is for any
other addition of clerk force that may be
needed to do the public business properly
and well. The logic which would reject
the government telegraph, on such
grounds, would require the government
to abandon the postal system, and re-
mand TO private companies the business
of carrying and distributing the mails.

Last December Civil Engineer Ncnocal
OF the navy department. was sent to Mica
ragua to make Il fresh survey of the route
for The proposed iuterocean canal through
Nicaragua. His report has been present
ed, and forms Il very interesting and
important document. Among the results
of the new survey have been Il recon-
mendation of considerable change of
the line of transit, with view to facli-
tating the work of construction. The en-
tire distance by the new route, from
GreytOwn on the Caribbean sea to Brito
ON the Pacific is 1868 miles, of which 3S.9S
miles will be eXcavated canal and l3O.s2
miles will be navigation upon Lake Mica
ragua, the river san Juan and the basin
of the san Francisco river. There will be
seven locks.
Lake Nicaragua is about ninety miles
long. Under the proposed plan it Will be
connected with the Pacific by a canal, and
with the Atlantic by slack-water naviga-
ton in the river san Juan, with a short
section of canal from the san Juan to the
basin of the san Francisco, and finally by
section of canal connecting this stream
with the Caribbean. The eastern division
of the canal which is nineteen and half
miles i'll length, and comprises tiftythree
per cent of the total excavation of the
canal is upon an entirely new location.
Striking eastWardly from the southern
extremity of Il lake proposed to be formed
in the valley of the sun Francisco, the
canal will cross to the valley of the Desea-
do, and following its bed short distance
will reach the summit level by lock-
/ -,
Lake Nicaragua to lock No 1, is his
miles. Al lock No. 3 there is drop
Of iifty-thrce feet through the solid rock.
Following the valley of the Deseado east
ward 300 feet the canal reaches lock No.
,, where a drop of tWenty-seven feet is eff
fected. Following still the slope of the
valley for 1900 feet, the canal at lock No
by fall twenty-siX feet sinks to the sea
level, and traycrsing distance of GlOO
feet, reaches the sea at GreytoWu.
The projectors of the Nicaragua canal in
tend to profit by the experience of the SueH
canal, which has proved sufficient to ac-
commodute only 100000 tons of shipping
a ycar-au amount far less than the de
mands of commerce call for The pro-
posed Nicaragua canal will accommodate
X traffic of l2,OlOoOO tons a year. The
canal is to have a depth of from twenty
to thirty feet, and eighty feet breadth
Of bottom. The locks will be six hun
dred and fifty feet long and siNty-fye
feet broad. 1t is estimated that thirty
two vessels can traverse the route in Il
day over eleven thousand year. \ ship
approaching the canal from the Atlantic
side will be raised one hundred and six
t,t4 .,I...
Nicaragua, and from the western side OF
the lake ships will descend the same dis
lance through four locks to the Pacific
The entire cost of constructing and
equpping the Nicaragua canal is estimated
by Engineer Menocal at about Sol 100000 (;
adding twenty five per cent for contingent
cies, the cost will be S6lOOO,0OO. The
canal can be completed it is thought, in

a little girl, with soft soap, pumped
cold Wgter on the little one and scrubbed
her with Il broom, The other child also

IUNORS OF REBELLION.
Another Rising in the Northwest Pre-
diCted-Riel'S Successor.

BISMARCK, OAK, Nov, PA halt-breed
hunter, who has arrived from the Cana
dian Northwest, reports that an extremely
war-like spirit exists among his country
men in the Northwest territory No soon
err did the news of Riel's execution reach
the Indians and half-breed French than
movement was inaugurated to secure aid
from the American half-breeds. At one
camp an elligy of Sir John Macdonald
was hanged before the enraged frontiers
men, who riddled it with bullets, cut 1t to
Sheds with knives, snd gathered the
fragments and burned them To ashes The
huntSman now here says that he does not
believe there will be any trouble daring
the winter months but thinks the pent-
up vengeance of the followers of Ricl will
break out III the spring and create sad
havoc among the frontier settlers who are
considered unfriendly. He states that the
great need OF the halt-breeds in the eXecu-
ton of their plans is a leader To take the
place of Riel, and many OF them pray for
the return of Gabriel Dumout, who eN-
hibted so much bravery and pluck dur
ing the recent uprising, but left after the
surrender at Ricl, and is now in Montana.

The yarn that Riel has been seen alive
in the Northwest territory, and that the

amusing, will answer one practical pur-

quiet until the excitement following his
execution has still further subsidized.

George F. Edmunds, United States Sen

he is not far from 20, but he is really only

Mr.. Justice Field of the Supreme Court
of the United States, has recently thus
stated the policy of the law with regard
to the Sabbath Laws setting aside
Sunday rs day of rest are upheld, not
from any right of the government to leg
islate for the promotion of religious OBJ
servances, but from its right to protect
all persons from the physical and moral
debasement which comes from uninter-
rupted labor Such laws have always
been deemed beneiicent and merciful
laws, especiallyto the poor and dependent,
to the laborers in our factories and work
shops, and in the heated rooms of our
cities and their validity has been sus-
tanned by the highest courts of the
States.' This is Il very fair statement OF
the theory of the law in its Sabbath regu-
lations. And the law, in sustaining the
day Of rest, joins hands with the religious
procept, which requires the observance OF

Cheney said that he had been unable t.
yet more than half insurance on his pull
mills and the insurance he got was only
obtained by placing in the mills appli
anccs for the speedy eXtinguishment o
fires, and thus reducing the risk; and ,
number of other manufacturers had beel
unable to do even as well Us that, Tn,
| business men of that State seem to b,
agreed that the law shold be abrogated o.
modified but fear that most of the legis
lators who enacted it may feel bound t.
stand by it, so that there is no assurance
that it would be changed if an extra SEES
sion were to be called.
