The Panama Canal.

Contractors for work on the Panama
canal now insist on receiving their pay
weekly instead Of monthly, as heretofore.
This indicates lack Of confidence in the
financial strength of the corporation.
The next information that we receive
from this corporation will be that 1t has ap-
pealed to the French government for aid in
order to save the many millions already
invested by the French people.
The French government may be induced
to grant the required assistance for time,
but, in view of the Suez experience, will
hardly invite John Bull to join in the
scheme.
If the Panama canal is ever completed
the tonnage charges will be so great that

The attack ON John Roach, on account Of
an alleged failure of naval board created
by act of Congress, Is an attack on 1000
well-paid workingmen, each of whom rep
resents, on an average, family of five
persons.
The old naval advisory board, which Is
responsible for the Dolphin, claims that she
Is success, and proposes to refute all
statements in opposition TO that claim.
There is a disinterested party in this city,
n gentleman thoroughly well informed in
relation to shipbullding and who has an
extensive knowledge of naval affairs, who
asserts that, If permitted to do so, he could
at once sell the Dolphin to a naval power In
Europe for sum largely In excess of her
cost.
The bids Of John Roach on the four steel
vessels, Of which the Dolphin is the small

other men.

coon LUCK For IRELAND.


New YORK, June 2l.-The Tribune edi-
tonally says: "1he outcome OF the political
crisis in England is most singular. At
present there is a deadlock, the conserya-
tive leaders attempting to exact conditions
from Mr.. Gladstone which he is unwilling
to concede. The Marquis Of Salisbury, In
order to compel compliance with his terms,
has hung up the seats bill In the house of
lords. He reserves for himself the privilege
of appealing to the old constituencies and
Of postponing indefinitely the reorganiza-
tion Of the electorate. lie makes the pass
age Of the conservative budget and certain
arrangements for controlling the business of
the remainder OF the session supplementary
clauses to the compact made between Mr..
Gladstone and himself last November re-
specting the franchise and seats bills. The
liberal ministry, rather than consent to
these terms, are willing to resume Office
themselves The situation, as explained
with great clearness In our special cable
dispatches, is most curious one.
The most important fact in connection
with the deadlock is the failure Of coercion
Mr. GladstOne's ministry would not have
been defeated on a question Of finance II
they had been able to agree upon their Irish
policy. Coercion was the rock upon which
the ministry foundered. But the moment
the Marquis Of Salisbury was invited TO
form government he disclaimed any inten-
tion Of renewing the crimes act. Instead of
supporting the views Of Lord Spencer and
Lord Harrington, he abandoned coercion
altogether like thorOughgong radical OF
the Chamberlain type, The consequence is
that the wings In Mr.. Gladstones cabinet
no longer have any political support Coer-
cion is clearly out Of the question, II the
tories have turned their backs upon IT,.
This is result upon which Ireland Is TO be
heartily congratulated. Whether the Mar
quis Of Salisbury becomes prime minister or
Mr.. Gladstone recognizes his cabinet, re-
placing wings with radicals, the island is to
be released from the barren policy of coer-
cion. That is great gain.

competitors was entirely creditable. lie
had and has facilities for the manufacture
of steel, and could save two or three cents
on every pound Of that material, as com
pared with prices that his competitors
would have had to pay for Il.
Finally, the assault on Roach looks like
conspiracy to crush him by breaking
down his credit, In order that the only
American establishment capable of doing
an extensive business in the building and
repair Of large ships may be gotten under
Democratic control for the building, of a
new navy.
Is this the scheme Mr.. Secretary Whitney,

EXPERIENCE has demonstrated that the
transcontinentrl railroads are practically
worthless rs an outlet for the enormous
agricultural product Of the Pacific slope.
At this time the only means Of shipping
wheat from San Francisco is by sailing yes
sells around Cape Hom-a long and tedious
voyage To ship by rail, at the lowest pos
sible rate, costs so much that nothing is left
for the producer, The natural solution OF
the difficulty is to provide means for the
speediest and cheapest transfer Of freight
from ocean to ocean at the point where
there is most ocean and least land. That
point is Panama, and railway, built for
heavy and rapid work, is the destined means
Of transportation.

THE cost of transportation of wheat is
about one cent per ton per mile. This fact
is bar to the prosperity of the Pacific
slope. The isthmus of Panama must be
practically annihilated, not by the De Les
seps ditch, but by a railroad capable of
doing work cheaper than it can be done by
that ditch, in case the latter is ever com
pleted, which is extremely doubtful.
