The Democrat offers a new theory

a building draws the electricity from

The Panama Canal.

NJ. De Lesseps stated to the Panama
Canal Committee that it was possible
to complete level canal in thee years
at the cost of 600 100000 francs, but
added that he had not come to definite
decision yet. He said he would act &C
cording to the requirements of science.
In regard to canal with locks, as adj
vocated by M. Jacquire, he thought
such a canal could only be temporary;
that ultimately level canal would be
required. NJ. Dingler. an engineer,
stated that he calculated that the an
nual receipts of the canal company
would be 100000 francs, or fifteen
francs per ton.

The Law of Newspapers.

The following is being published
by newspapers generally. We have
no delinquents and publish the item
as a bit Of news only which will be
new to most persons.
1t is not generally known that q
man who refuses to pay for his news
paper can be prosecuted like an ordi-
nary criminal OF thief. A New York
paper has begun suit against several
delinquent subscribers under the u.
S. postal laws, which says. "the TAX
ing ola newspaper and refusal to pay
for the same renders the person liable
to criminal prosecution as thief,
and person guilty of the same can
be punished as if he had stolen the
goods to the amount of the subscrip.
tion.' Postmasters are also liable
for price of subscription for allowing
papers to accumulate in their offices

The 4tll.

The question is often asked why
is the day which marks our National
Independence. apparently falling in
to neglect? Why is it not celebrated
as 1t used to be? The day and the
event it pupctuates are not matters
of neglect, or the desire on the part
of the people to properly observe the
day, wanting. 1t is ho,o to properly
observe it is what puzzles every one.
The old method of making hideous
noises and enhancing life and prop
erty with fire works and fire, has
been condemned and fallen into dis
use, and very properly so And the
parading of civilians in the heat and
dust as soldiers, is not agreeable to
our American tastes and ideas. The
Declaration is not charter of war
and military government, but proc
lamation of peace and liberty to
mankind. Peace and liberty were
compelled to take the sword to de-
fend themselves against the agrees
i've spirit of military government,
and when they had destroyed their
enemy they had no further use for
the sword and spear, and very prop
erly beat them into plough
shares and pruning hooks. The 4th
of July means peace and order, not
war and turbulence. Hence the de-
cay of the old methods of celebrat-
ing the day. Who can diviLe plan
for its proper observance. That plan
will be evolved from the spirit and
growth of the age, and the day will
not be forgotten.
