We think it safe general proposition
that the obligation to do any specified thing
carries the implication that such measures
may be adopted and such means employed
as will render the doing Of It effective.
The United States naval expedition re-
Gently dispatched to the Isthmus of Pan
anna was sent there in compliance with the
solemn covenant of the United States to
guarantee free transit and protect property,
because transit was interrupted and pro-
perty menaced with destruction.
The executive department OF our govern
ment did the only proper thing in sending
the necessary force, and the naval and
marine officers and men performed the
duties assigned them I'm manner highly
creditable to all concerned.
But we hold that, instead OF merely
"shooingn away the rebels from the prop
erty and the line Of transportation menaced,
IL would have been better IL our govern
ment had taken such measures and used
such means as might have been found nee
essary to suppress the rebellion, and estab-
lish the regular authority on n ilrmer basis.
To drive the rebels back little, unim.
paired in strength and unchanged IN pur.
pose, and then leave the country, was by
no means an effective way Of protecting
property or insuring safe, uninterrupted
transit.
There were but two ways Of carrying out
the treaty obligation--either to put down
the rebellion or to maintain force on the
ground for the preservation Of order.
II is now understood that another cal
has been madc-or will be made at once
upon the United States government to send
an armed force for a second intervention
The force should be sent, and the worl
should be performed-so performed thai
the doing of II will last for some time.
But we deal with this trouble at grea
disadvantage for the reason that we have ne
naval station, no coaling station even, OIL
or near either coast of the Isthmus or Cen
trail America. This disability should be re
moved under authority of an act of Congress
| passed In 1881.

North, Central, and South American
Exposition.


Hon. S. II. Buck, the director-general of
the North, Central, and South American
Exposition, has established at Washington
bureau of information for the press, the
public, and foreign legations in regard to
the plans, purposes, and progress of the
new Worlds Fair to be opened at New
Orleans In the fall.
This new company, as its name indicates,
proposes to make speciality of American
commerce, and will use every exertion to
secure from Brazil, the Spanish American
republics Of South and Central America,
and the principal West India islands ex-
hibits to rival the wonderful display made
by Mexico at the old Exposition.
The Mexican exhibits will doubtless re-
main and be enlarged by display of the
natural resources tributary to the lines Of
the various railways which the capitalists
Of Boston and New York have during the
past four or five years been constructing in
that country.
Nothing could be more timely than this
new project, and II will be immensely pop
ular, for it will be in full operation just at
the time Congress, the press, and the public
have under consideration the Mexican and
Spanish-American commercial treaties, the
Spanish American commission report, the
question OF new foreign outlets for our
surplus manufactures, and other kindred
subjects which will come before the next
session Of Congress.
As this exposition will open in November
and close by April l, 1886, exhibitors who
desire to participate in the London Exposi-
tion, commencing June l, will have ample
time to first make their displays at New
Orleans.
Alex. d. Anderson, the well-known
writer and authority upon spanish-Ameri
can subjects, will be the special commits
sioner in charge of the Washington head
quarters, at Wizards Hotel.

filed in the Postoflice Department. "If l

FROM the following paragraph taken from
late New Orleans paper 1t seems as IL the
President would be enabled to select a
competent man to fill the responsible posi-
tion Of supervising inspector general as
soon as he has time to give it little atten-
tion:
The Memphis Ardldnche, of tho 18th, had the
following about the applicants for the office OF
supervising inspector general of the steam
service, and, we are glad to notice. gives our
candidate, Capt. Gould, the preference for
good qualities:
The following are tho names of the appli-
cants for the office OF supervising inspector
general of steamboats, James A. + Dumont,
the present incumbent; James s. Barton, of
Tennessee; Henry Lawrence, Bridgeport, Conn.
II. o. Nichols, Athens, NJ y; NJ. II. Murdough,
Norfolk, Va; VIM. Burnett, N Y, and L. w.
Gould, st. Louis, Mo. The latter has probably
the strongest Endorsement, and of the right kind.
He has the practical knowledge of all classes
Of steam vessels, and is widely known and
highly indorscd by II majority of the steam
boatmen Of the country. 1t is time western

IT Is estimated that the construction of a
double or four-trock freight and passenger
railroad across the Isthmus Of Panama, at
some point connecting good harbors for
shipping on either ocean, would enable the
transfer of wheat and other heavy products
Of the Pacific slope to be made at cost
not exceeding so cents ton, including
loading and unloading, This rate would
giyeac car, offorty tons capacity, for S20-less
the cost Of handling at the termini-for q
single trip of about seventy miles. The
cost of transferring wheat from ocean to
ocean would not exceed cents a bushel
Allowing cents on each ocean for freight
and insurance, we have ~ cents bushel as
the total cost of transporting wheat from
San Francisco to Liverpool. This revolu-
tion can be accomplished by the present
administration without cost to the govern
ment.

during the past year several efforts have

CLOSING Of mills at Fall River and general
depression of the cotton manufacturing In
dustry all over New England have recently
been reported. The history of the Wash
ington mills at Lawrence is unpleasantly
suggestive. 1t is stated that in 1858 the
property was sold for 100000, New mills
and machinery were then added, doubling
the size Of the plant, the cost Of the i'm
provements having been over $4 900, 900.
In the meanwhile the water power had in
creased in value, but when the entire prop
crty was sold last week at auction it brought
only S34O,OOO. The trouble with the cotton
mills of the north is an incurable one-they
are too far away from the cotton fields.
