A reporter of The Democrat,
while in Blanchardville this week,
was agreeably surprised to see the
enormous amount Of business done
in small town, having no CON-
munication with the outside world
by rail. The streets of the village
were crowded with teams, and from
every direction could be seen COM
ing into town large droves of cattle,
which are sold there and then driven
to Monroe. Hotels and stores seemed
to be doing thriving business. A
new steam feed mill has been erect
ed and enjoys q good trade. Mr.,
John Harvey. an old Mineral Point
boy, was called on. John has a very
neat and attractive harness shop,
and as he expressed it, will boom
when the railroad arrives" Frank
Day, of our city, carries on the
blacksmith business and holds his
own. Phil Jeuck is also there and
does the work in the only tin shop
in the village. Taking it all in al
Blanchardville presented city like
appearance.

4 WARyING FRON THE IsTBMUS.

A war between Guatemala and Nicaragua
seems imminent. President Barros aspres to
be the military dictator of Central America, and
having effected combination with Honduras
has taken the field and issued decree in favor
of the union Of the various States. AsNicaragua
resists his supremacy, he has declared war
against it. Costa Rica is reported to be hostile
to his pretensions, and may be dragged into the
conflict.
Asthe armies of these petty States consist OF a
few regiments of ill-disciplined, indOlent
soldiers, the campaign does not threaten to be
one of prolonged or sangu mary warfare.
Americans ought not to overlook 1t, however,
for there is one consideration which entities it to
serious reflection. If the Nicaragua Canal
Treaty had been ratified the United States
Government would have been under obligations
to render military aid to one of these Central
American States. The treaty contained posi-
tive guarantee of protection. The Government
would have been under pledge to defend the
territory of its ally against attack from jealous
rivals on the isthmus. Military operations
against Guatemala would not be formidable.
But such adventures are not to the taste OF the
American people.

1ydDLOUATE CONSOLATION.

Consolation to be of any use ought to console.
The Bu6alo Courier. unmindful OF this, Is no "
endeavorng to console the Western division OF
the Democracy with n club. Western Demo-
Gratis are weeping and wailing and gnashln,,
their teeth over their notifying failure to re-
ceive inst recognition at the hands Of President
Cleveland. The Courier by way of drying
their tears reminds them that the West never
was much of a Democratic stronghold, any way,
the argument being that the Western States got
little or no representation in the Cabinet, but
then they deserved little or nothing. 1t should
be remembered" remarks this maadroit Buffalo
dispenseryOf consolation, that with the exccp-
stion of the Pacific States only one Western
aState in quarter of century has given its
electoral votes to the Democracy"
Thisis consolation served with Cayenne pepper
sauce. Having administered it, The Courier
makes an earnest attempt to cheer up Thurman
and his Ohio friends. The attempt is made
with knife, inserted under the fifth rib. "The
q reasons why Ohio failed to obtain place in the
.Cabinet are obvious. The State or its Demo-
cratic portion is too often house divided
against itself" OF course this thoughtful ex-
PLANTATION cannot fail to comfort the proprietor
of the red bandanna to within an inch of his life.
The Courier obviously regards the Ohio Dcmoc-
racy as sort of Western Tammany Hall, SO far
as its claims to recognition are concerned.
The Democrats of the West may be expected
to cut out this precious piece of consolation and
paste it in their hats. They may wish to refer
to it in 1888, when Eastern Democrats are ex-
horting them 10 renewed exertions III behalf OF
their marty.

THE C1N1LS AND HER COST

The official statement of the cost of the canals
during the fiscal year ending September 80, in
Guiding the expense of the engineer corps, was
about 1862 900. Contrasting this with the
amOuntof tonnage transported on the canals dur
ing the year. which was about 1000, 900 tons, it
appears that the actual cost of the canal system
to the State averaged almost precisely IA cents
ON each ton transported. The Erie Canal, while
transporting much the larger part of the
freight, was of course tine object of much the
greater part of the expenditure, about
S2l3, 900 having been expended upon that
canal, besides nearly SID, 200 for enlargement,
and nearly $4,000 for the engineer corps.
The benefits of the canal to the people of the
State are much more difficult to ascertain than
its expense. We know that the cost of trans
portation, not only from the West to the East,
but to and from points along the canal, has
been enormously reduced, but it is not an
easy matter to decide what part of tho reduc-
ton has been directly due to the competition Of
the water route, and what part to the increasing
competition of the railways with each other.
Nevertheless tits altogether safe to say that the
saving to The people of this State IN the cost OF
products transported has been many times
greater than the entire cost of the canals and is
greater every year than the sum expended upon
them For instance, at ia cents per ton, the
cost of the canals each year would average less
than one-ffth of ono cent per bushel on the
grain transported, and no one will doubt that

ness of all kinds when the demand Tor coal 10
very small, when the operators may naturally
be, as they appear. unusually indifferent about
the continuance Of work, and when prices are
very low. and the cost Of living moderate, so
that wages represent larger purchasing power
than usual. These facts indicate that the strike
has less than the usual prospect OF success, and
less than the usual reason in the necessities OF
the case and yet it is said to be sustained oy al
unusnal number of men, and to threaten pro-
lonced disturbance of industry in Western
Pennsylvania.
It is a fact not to be overlooked that the
presence of many Socialist agitatcrs, and the
rapid spread of their organization in and around
pittsburg within the past few weeks, has sup
piled a reason for expecting conduct in which
nnder other circumstances industrious and in
teIlieept miners would hardly consent to take
mart. If the Socialist agitation has gained
large influence with them, and if they are in
cited to a movement at this time by the expecta'
ton that it will be supported by similar labor
movements in other directions, strike which
would otherwise be almost inexplicable De-
come, more easily understood.
