SEVERAL weeks ago we mentioned the
fact that it was authoritively stated that
the Pope would issue decree IN the
near future forbidding communicates o.
the Catholic church to engage III the
manufacture or sale of liquor. The de-
cree in question will be issued in few
days but is not so radical as at first fore
showed. 1t does, however, denounce
the liquor traffic, and pronounces 1T as
immoral and menacing TO religious
faith and morals, and urges bishops,
priests and other dignitaries of tn e
church to use all reasonable influence
to prevent Catholics from indulging in
the trade in any manner, and TO induce
those already engaged to quit 1t. 1t has
been evident for a number of years tha
the Catholic church will soon be the
leading disciple Of the temperance re
form, and now that the head-center is
disseminating such sentiment in accOr
dance with the work done by the differ
ent societies, We may look for a gen eral
stand in favor Of temperance through
out this denomination.

LONDON, England, was the scene OF
the most gigantic mob riot, last Monday
and Tuesday ever recorded in that or
any other civilized community. Fifty
thousand mechanics and laborers amasS-
ed and defied all authorities but, for
tunately, were not as thoroughly vic.
ious as mobs usually become. Smash
ing Of window glass, pitching furniture
out of public buildings, foraging for eat
ables ETC., were the extent Of their dep
radations. The police were ineffective
at first but finally succeeded in scatter
: ing the disturbers and establishing or
der. The cause assigned for the unfor
tunate circumstances by those qualifie
to know, is that the unwise monetary
policy of the British government has sc
straitened these poor classes, that they
are actually In state of starvation, ano
the oppression has driven them to vic
lence. Since the monetary policy of tn,
United States is in course of discussion
at present it would be well to gather NJ
all these little occurrences as criteria.

Col. BoBLETER, of the New Ulm Re

that while there he Glanced - meet
the president of the Mortified, Kasota

him that the right of way for the above
named railroad had already been Sc
cured through lie Sueur county, and
that the road would certainly be built
next season as far as Kasota, and posi-
bly, farther west He minated that
from Kasota west the road may be built
10 Mankato and thence up the Mime
>Ota valley to New Ulm, provided the
people along the proposed route and at
that place showed their good will to-
wards the enterprise by extending 10 cal
aid to secure the right Of way. That a
railroad will eventually be built from
Markaro up the Minnesota valley TO
New Ulm seems to be settled fact, but
as three roads are pointing in that dir
ection, it is matter of vague COME cture
which one will reach there first.

from Sixth street to Sixty fifth street, and g higher rate above Sixty-ifth street.

Facts continue to come to light which
 show startling death rate among the ne- l groes of the South. The last report made I by the health officer at Savannah shows that while the death rate among the white pop 1 ulation of that city is but 1919 per thou 1 sand of population, the death rate among the ! colored people was 122.94; that is, rather more than ten times as great. But still an- other analysis presents the case in even dark CT colors, for it is asserted that the rate of mortality among the colored children was 601 93 per thousand. In other words, six colored children out of every ten, presum- ably under five years of age, died during the period included in this report; while the average duration of life among the negroes of Savannah was, by the analysis just given, only a little over eight years, and at a time when the city was free from epidemics. Attempts have been made to evade thepro-
 hibitory law in Atlanta, Georgia, but they do not work very well. Judge Clark has de-
 nied the application of the owners of the Big
 Bonanza saloon for an injunction to restrain
 the city from interfering with their business.
 The business in question is at present the
 selling of whiskey, beer, etc., in quart pails
 to white and colored citizens. They produced
 a state license authorizing the holder to sell
 these liquors by the quart until some day in next October. It was proven, however, that the whiskey or beer, though sold and hand; ed over the bar in the quart pail, was imme- diately poured out into glasses provided by the owners for the purpose and drunk on the premises in that manner. That being so, the judge held-refusing to hear argument from the lawyers on constitutional points that the quart pail was simply an evasion of the law, and that the saloon-keepers were liable for each separate sale of liquor, St made.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

THE PANAMA CAN NALs
 De Lesseps is a wonderful old man, but it looks as.if he had met his Waterloo. When the bill to authorize an issue of bonds, on the lottery plan, for the Panama canal, was pend- ing before the committee of the French as- sembly, De Lesseps was asked to produce be- fore the committee copies of the six great contracts which he had said provided for the completion of the whole work. The commit tee demanded also a balance sheet, showing the exact financial condition of the canal cor poration. De Lesseps did not comply with these requests, but preferred to withdraw the bill from the committee. He now asks subscriptions to 8 new loan of six hundred million francs, or about one hundred and twenty million dollars, though it is known that the last loan was not all taken up, but a large part of the bonds re- main in the company's hands. He declares that the French people will give him the money he asks, and that with this sum he will finish the canal in three years.
 It is plain that De Lssseps cannot keep the promises he has made. It may be that the French government will decide to take up
 
 tional undertaking. It is there fore time, as the Worcester Spy forcibly points out, for the country to be paying some attention to the matter. Says the Spy: la that event complications are probable with the United States, since the public opinion of this country would not be con tent to allow the control of an isthmian pas sage to fal! into the hands of any foreign government. In view of this possibility it is quite time that Congress should decide what to do with the two American schemes for transit across the isthmus, the Nicara- qua canal and the Tehuantepec ship railway. The former, at least. is practicable, at much less cost than the Panama canal, and could be finished in less time if promptly begun than De Lesseps' canal could be, if the latter is at all practicable. Captain Eads' ship railway would probably cost even less than the Nica- ragua canal, and could be constructed sooner.
 If there is to be canal or railroad across the isthmus the United Statas ought to have control of it. It cannot afford to let any foreign nation have it.
