THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

1t will cost in the neighborhood OF
$50, 900, 600 10 build the Nicaragua
canal, or about half as much as it will
cost 10 build the Panama canal. This
is one Of the reasons why the Nicaragua
is the best route. Other good reasons
are that it will take but four or FIVE
years to finish the work; it will be
through fresh water country; the ma
,erials for maintenance are mostly in the
country, and there is splendid inland
harbor. The route Of the Nicaragua
canal lies in II degrees north latitude,
while tha, Of the Panama canal is in S
degrees north latitude and is through a
calm belt where il would take sailing
vessel some time TO approach. Consider
ing that the largest part Of the tonnage
is composed Of sailing vessels, this
would be a serious drawback. 1t il Of
considerable importance that the United
States should own and insist on the con
troll Of The right of way between the
two great oceans. The extension Of our
commerce into new fields will soon be
come necessity. The proposed new
canal will open new fields OF American
industry, and by the shorter and quicker
route of the Nicaragua canal the Amer
lean people will I've able to successfully
contend for the trade Of the many mil
lions of people whose profitable com.
merce is now enjoyed by England and
Eropean nations. The advantages and
benefits that the control of this canal
will bring to this coast and the United
States in general is incalculable. Why
should America then stop TO ask con.
sent OF Great Britain before proceeding
to 60 on with this great enterprise.

'' GOOD LUCK. ~
The Royal Saking Powder Never Fails
to do Perfect Work.

The Good Luck that always attends the use Of
cake, biscuit pastry etc. is not "luck" after ALL but
the exact result that inevitably follows the correct
application of scientific principles.
All the scientific knowledge, and skill attain
ed by twenty years practical experience have been
combined in the Royal Baking Powder to make
eavenng agent absolutely perfect and it cannot help
long perfect work in the production of light, sweet
wholesome palatable bread and pastry.
The most exact accuracy and precision are exer-
csed in the preparation and combination of all the
ingredients of the Royal Baking Powder. Every
tcle is first ascertaned absolutely pure
number of chemists employed to test the
treneth of each Ingredient so that its exact power
md effect in combination with its co-ingredents is
definitely known. Nothing is trusted to chance, and
40 person is employed in the preparation of the
materials who is not expert in his particular branch
of the business.
AS consequence the Royal Baking Powder is of
che highest grade of strength and excellence, always
pure. wholesome, and uniform in quality. Each box
is exactly like every other. 1t will retain its pow
ers and produce the same and the highest leaven-
ng effect in any climate, at any time.
The Government Chemists after having analysed
Ill the principal brands in the market in their re-
ports placed the Royal Baking Powder at the head
IF the list for strength purity, and wholesomeness
and thousands of tests all over the country have
further demonstrated the fact that its qualities are
n every respect, r.valed.

Nav 10. 1885. (

MAY ~, 1000.
! Officers and Brothers:-The plac,
where we would take dinner had beer
designated, and as I did not know
where it was, was told to follow an
other Indian. dropped In behind my
guide and with faith that never wa
vered, I followed in his footsteps. A
soft drilling rain was falling. The
earth and rocks were spongy beneath
our feet. The ground over which we
Travelled was high, steep hills covered
with grass and the shrubs common tc
this country. Our horses would climb
the hills with labored breath, or slide
down them, carrying earth and rock
in their descent.
No signs of game or animal life was
to be seen. At last we struck a noun
tain stream and followed up it's bed.
The hills on either side rose up into
majestic mountains, rock-ribbed ''and
covered with pine and cedar. The
mountains would close in on the bed of
the stream and 1 would think surely
my guide could go 10 farther; but he
would Chamber on over rock, or turn
and climb the mountain. Though it
was at the risk of life or limb, I follow
ed him. One slip or misstep of my
horse would have sent me down to des-
truction. But what is the use of car
rying insurance if you take no chances.
In short time I became accustomed
to the danger, and while my horse
would be going over the most danger
GUS places my eyes would be taking in
the scenery around me.
We saw Nosey on the top of a noun
tain and waited until he came down.
Light of foot he was ard he came down
that rugged mountain, dropping from
point to point with the ease Of a noun

interested and unprejudiced stand.
point. They would have been more
than human had they brought in q
report contrary to the wishes and ex.
pectations Of the people whom they
represented. When the powerful in
fiuences by which they were surround
ed are taken into consideration, the
guarded language of their report is sig
nificant. 1t is plainly evident, and
the gentlemen themselves would moi
deny, that if they could possibly have
done SO they would have been more
than happy to have reported the build.

ton to roof. But they are compelled
to admit that .'the east wall is out a

second story joist has sprung out lit

tween the windows, the wall
has sprung out little" be-
sides numerous cracks and crevices
indicating the settling of par
titions and walls. Certainly, coming
from the source it does, this report is
not particularly reassuring.
The committee is of the opinion that
the building can be put in thorough
repair at very little expense. (In a
pointed letter published in another
place, u correspondent from Carlyle
calls attention to the .recklessness
with which the committee rides that
word "little."D If that is true, why
didn't some of the mechanics who are
on that committee come before the
Board last Monday and present their
plans and give their guaranty? The
Board would have heard them gladly,
and We venture to say that they will
agree to give any architect 81 900, per-
haps $1,000 or even 5000, who will
put that building in thorough repair
and enter into good and sufficient
bond to keep it in that condition for
five years. We heard some of the cap
italists of Humboldt give it as their
opinion that the old court house would
stand for 20 years. If they will war
rant it to stand for five years with
out further repairs, We doubt not that
the Commissioners will gladly accept
their bond. And we can promise them
that lola will say nothing about a new
court house in the mean time. This
agitation did not originate in lola. II
the old buildings could be occupied
any longer without repairs, lola would
not say word about new ones. 1t is
only because it was deemed necessary
to spend from 5000 to S., 900 on the old
buildings that we suggested the policy
Of building new ones; and if our Hum
boldt friends are willing to back their
opinion by their bond, lola will be
glad to accept it and let the matter rest.
Money talks, and just now would be a
mighty good time for our friends in the
south part to come forth with that kind
of language. They can't stop this agi-
tation half so quickly in any other
way. If Barber and Rosenthal and
Neal will warrant those buildings just
as they now stand, five years, THE
REGISTER for one will rise up and call
them blessed, and will say not word
about new buildings until the five
years expire,-or the old buildings fall
down.

THE TOWN TRAMP.


1 have been at work pretty steady
for the past few weeks, but laid of
last Saturday and went with the rest
of the people to see the Memorial do
ings. I didn't march with the old sol.
diers for none of them know that ]

ashamed to say SO looking as I do now
1 hung round the edge of the crowd
though, and ! must admit that when
l saw them marching away with theil
drums and guns my heart jumped a
little and my fingers twitched. After

years, he don't get out of the habit

ing for it, just to see if it feels natural.
But got over that after awhile and
followed the procession down to the
cemetery and listened to the music and
the speech. Fine, sad music it was,
and a fine speech too / guess, but
didn't hear much of it.
~
l was thinking of the brother that
fell in the old road at Shiloh before
Prentice surrendered, and of the one
that lies in the Wilderness somewhere,
and wondering who would strew flow
ers on their graves. 1 tell you this
Memorial day means something to me,
something more than merry holiday,
full of flags and gay dresses and flow
ers. The year doesn't bring a sadder
day. But there is something sweet
and tender about it too, even to me, in
some of the memories it calls up, and
1 would not have it abandoned for any
thing. And then it ought to teach our
children patriotism if anything will.
And that reminds me that as rule
we take mighty little pains to teach
our children patriotism here in the
North. In fact. as far as our teaching
goes it is mostly the other way. How
much true patriotism does boy learn
from the average newspaper or from
the talk he hears on the street? How
many school teachers spend even an
hour during the whole term in show
ing their pupils how much they owe
to their country, and how proud they
ought to be of her and how much they
ought to be willing to do for her? 1
tell you now that if teachers would
take little more pains to make their
pupils understand, when they are
studying the history of the United
States, that it is the history of their
own country and not of some foreign
nation; if they would take little pains
to show them how by slow, hard, inch
by-iuch fighting our government has
climbed up to where it now stands,
they wouldn't have half so much
trouble getting them to learn their les
sons and it wouldn't be long until the
politics of the country would feel the
effects. You can't expect clean poll
tics until you teach your citizens that
it is as much crime to vote against
the best interests of their country as it
is to try to shoot her to death.

But Pm tired. I've been Oh my feet
all day, and it has been hot. lam not
much in the mood for writing any way
and would rather sit and "think and

THAT REPORT.

We, your committee appointed to ex
anime into the condition of the cour
house at lola, beg leave to report tina
we have been to lola and made a care
full examination of the building and of
fees, and tried to gain a1the informa
ton we could that would be of interes
to the people of Humboldt and tn,
county.
We find the east wall is sprung ou
a little, which was probably done il
its construction. Some two years OF
more ago this wall was repaired ant
cemented. We fail to find any indica
ton from the outside or inside that il
changed in the least since such repairs
were made; not even a crack in the ce
ment.
We find the south wall on line Of
the second story joist has sprung out q
little in places, the only effect of this
on the first story is in the treasurer,s
office, which shows little scaling off
of the plastering near the ceiling on
the north side. We were informed by
a responsible party that even this had
not changed for the past two years.
The effects in the second story are
shown by crack in the partition wall
and along part of the dashboard in the
court room.
We find one place in the south wall
between two windows, where the wall
has sprung out little. This could,
in our opinion, if necessary, be taken
out and replaced without any danger
and at small cost. In making our
examination of this defect in the wall
we find that it was cemented at the
same time the east wall was and that
the cement is in good condition and
shows no sign of any settling.
We find the building well anchored,
and no indication of any change in the
walls having taken place since they
were anchored We would also say
we were informed by Mr.. Gorrell, who
put in the anchors, had stated that, he
did not believe the wall had changed
any since they had been SO repaired and
strengthened. There is nothing of
the wood work in the building on the
east or west that shows that the build
ing has settled. Your committee can
see no reason why the present build
ing should not answer as a court house
for number of years, with a very
little expense in the way of repairs.

We would not question for a mo-

gentlemen whose names are signed to

the honesty of those with whom we
are personally acquainted, and we
know nothing derogatory to any OF the
other gentlemen on the committee.
But when it is remembered that these
gentlemen are all citizens of a town

which they are surrounded is unani-
