CHARGES have again been brought
against Gen. Hazen Tor mismanagement
OF the signal service. The fantastic and
unprecedented weather we had several
weeks ago was conclusive that some
thing was wrong. The people herea-

local manipulators of the weather sig-

will be removed since II is ascerained
that the Encouragement came FROM

SUGAR, rice, iron and steel, iron ores,
cotton fabrics and the growing interest
OF the South in manufactures OF these
indicate much larger Southern opposi-
ton than was offered to the horizontal
bill. 1t is also not at all improbable
that the tariff for revenue only people
will generally critizise severely the sim
gular reduction in the sugar tariff, which
is directly opposed by all their theories
and ideas. 1t is not impossible that
they may oppose the measure on this
ground. Indeed we do not see how
they can support bill which violates
one of their cardinal principles.-Mem-

THE Obion Democrat is unduiy sensi-
tive, and too quick to take ambrage at
being alluded to as a country weekly.
II allows itself to say some ill-natured
things about the daily edition Of the
CHRONICLE, because it wrongfully sup
poses that we intended to draw dispar-
aging contrast between this paper and
that. It.was with the Courier-Journal
and Nashville American to which we had
occasion to compare the Democrat, and
we suppose our Union City contempo-
rary will allow that it is Something
smaller than either OF these. What the
Democrat said about the daily CHRoSI-
GLE wasn't the truth, but feeling certain
that 1t wasn't intended to be taken as
such, We are not at all offended.

Mr.. FREEu4NS BALKAN FORECAST.

MIR. Freeman's cable letter to The TRIBUNE,
published in yesterdays issue, was most
valuable commentary on recent dispatches
from Southeastern Europe. The learned his
torian has acquired, as he says, ga long habit
Of irving TO look at facts and then causes
The Eastern Question has been one OF the
chief studies of his laborious life, and he has
invariably approached the subject with SYM
pathetic feeling for rising and struggling ma
lionalites. With the exception of Mr.. Glad
stone no other Englishman eXcltcd so strong
an influence in countcracting the vicious ten
denotes of Lord Bcaconsticds Turkish policy.
He has now, as he had then, only one stand
ard for measuring dynashc ambitions, race
movements and political forces in that quarter
of Europe This is the development OF new
nationalitics. The creation of state he re-
CARDS as a positive gain to civilization. The
strengthening Of small and dependent nation
alltics through diplomatic alliances with one
another Or through the development OF their
political institutions he considers ii most use
full and important result i'll the worlds his
tory. This is the final test to which he sub
iccts every new phase of the Eastern CUES
ton. 1t is test that ought TO lie decisive

Christendom.
Mr.. Frceman's forecast of the future of the
Balkan States is clouded with gloom. The
freedom and progress of those struggling ma
tionalitics depend in his judgment upon the
greed and sclishncss of two Powers, Russia
and Austria. Those Powers have only TO
agree upon common policy and Germany
will sustain it and with three dcspotic Gov
crnmcnts lcagucd together against them the
Balkan States already rent asundcr by ical-
ousy and suspicion, are at the mercy Of dy-
uas,lcs which are Indifferent to the progress
Of free institutions. II Russia occupies Con-

AZ OPTIMISTIC REPORT.

The report Of Mr.. Nathan Appleton on the
condition and prospects Of the Panama Canal
anncars TO be a rather remarkable piccc Of
optimism. Mr.. Appleton has for long time
defended the cause Of VI. LcsSeps, and not sell
dom under difficult conditions, but he has
never so thoroughly abandoned himself to
landation as i'll this instance. When his slate
monts are compared with those Of other OBJ
servers, such. for example, as NJ. Rousseau
he French Commissioners, the discrepancies
Noted appear so imcconcllablc that it IS din
cult to know what to think of the causes Of
these contradictions. There are, however, one
or two points which may serve as guides 10
public opinion since the actual facts happen
TO he we'll known and firmly established.
One Of them is the expenditures the other
is The sanitary condition of the lsthmus.
Mr. Appetop permits himself to fall into a
very rapiurc Of admiration at what he calls
the provision of the Canal directors in csti-
mating the expenses Of construction. Now
rs the expenditures have already been nearly
double the original estimate while 1t is I'M
possible to say what the whole cost OF the
work will tc, Mr. Applcton's admiration seems
odd, not to say misplaced.
1t is still more odd TO find him. after OBJ
serving that the original estimate was
S21OOOOO 900. declare that should the Canal
cost $5OO,OOO,OOO it will easily lie worth that
to the world, and lie fairly paying invest
mcnt to the stockholders" 1t is certainly
quito probable that it will cost $5OO,OOO,OOO,
hut as to the profits 10 the stockholders
that remains TO lie seen. The second point
noted is the health Of the Isthmus. Outside
Of Mr.. Appleton and NJ. LcSseps 81 Co. there
is but one opinion on this and it is that the
Is,hmus IS foarfuy unhealthy, the mortality
| terrible, and the treatment Of the sick far from
| what il should be- But Mr. Appleton camG
| remarks that while i. is true that the climate
| is tropical, nobody who docs not work hard
| and who drinks not too much but just enough
| brandy, need fear anything, unless indeed he
has had malaria before. and then he is api
TO die Of the country fever. Ii is wonderful
what a sanguinc disposition will do for re-
port Such confirmed oplimst rs Mr. Ap
| plcton would perhaps find the Dismal Swami
admirably adapted TO the uses of a summer
resort, and might discover in the Death Val
ley a place only needing n little water and
| ycgc alton 10 render it specially eligible fol-
colonlzing purposes Unfortunately, the factl
about the Panama Canal, both financial ant
sanitary, run counter to this culogistlc anC
| imaginative report.
