offered at 500, $50, 900 bonds Of $500 each,
and only 108,23G of them have bee1 tn

financial correspondents that these sub.
scriptions have placed in the company's
hands 50,000,000f. But the company has
not received this sum for use in canal
work 1t was provided that for each

redemption OF 800 bonds at par every

In France, for the expenses of negotiation
are heavy. 1t cannot hope to carry on
canal work with such feeble support az
this.-N y. Tines.
Mr.. Powderly has issued vigorous
ukase against striking. lie will never,
he says, encourage a strike when the men
and women upon whom he must rely for
the funds 10 carry on the struggle are az
poor AS those engaged in the troubles. y
This seems TO be sound doctrine. A
strike is a revolution, and re Joluti n Is
the ultimate appeal to be invoked when
no other redress remains.
Mr.. Powderly alludes to complaints
against the organization for spending too
much money on leclures-len thousand
dollars last year. Nothing, he adds with
force, il said about the three hundred
thousand dollars which went into the
"maelstrom Of strikes" ~ Y. Heraid

berlain to-day at Birmingham in a speech
referring TO his visit to the United States,
said that the first object Of tle Fisheries
Commission was TO cultivate a friendly
and neighborly feeling between the
United States and Canada and 10 en-
deavor to remove all possible causes of
misunderstanding Even if the final
settlement of the fisheries question
was delayed, the Commission might
with confidence assert that they
had paved the way for an AMIGA
bic arrangement of all differences
between Great Britain and the United
States. Mr.. Chamberlain's remarks were
greeted with cheers.-Exclange.
This Is Brother Singerly's stirring ap-
peal to the manufacturers and working
men of Philadelphia 10 rally around The
Mills bill
Under the steady pressure of an
aroused public opinion the ranks OF tariff
monopoly are yielding. Now is the time
to push things. Since monopoly has its
agents and attorneys by scores in the
Washington lobby, the people every.
where should offset their Vaccinations
by showering upon Congress their petit
lions for reductions of taxes upon the
raw materials of labor and the necessa-
ries of living"-N Y. Sun.
Frank Carpenter says in the
World that 1.-THE contest for the vice
presidency on the Democratic ticket is
growing both lively and acrimonious.
There are six candidates in The field, and
nearly all of these are doing active work
to secure the nomination. Illinois has
three candidates. These are General
Black, the head OF the Pension Bureau
Assistant Postmaster-General Stevenson,
and William II. Morrison. Morrison's
candidacy for the position is actuated
more by spite against Black than by a
desire for the nomination, and the rela-
tons between him and General Black are
by no means OF pleasant nature"
The Philadelphia Tines, a protection
newspaper, says:
"Our manufacturers are confronted by
new condition that demands the cheap
est production of fabrics in common use,
and free wool has become practical ne
cessitv to aid our productive industries
and cheaper the necessaries of life.
Large wool-growers would lose more
than they could gain by free wool, but
the average farmer w00l-gr0wer would
be more than compensated by cheapened
articles which he must consume, and the
great mass of the people, and especially
of industrial people, would largely profit
bp It."
1t is evident that the Democratic and
Republican, the Prohibition and the La
Dor parties are not to have the field all to
themselves In the presidential election

Labouchere says in his last letter: The
Emperor, however, now refuses 10 leave
the vicinity of Berlin, which has the very
worst climate for him that could be found
in Europe. He declares that change to
Wiesbaden would be OF no permanent
benefit, and that the mass OF most urgent
private business, as well as public affairs,
cannot at present be transacted in salts

Charles Dudley Warner says that he Is

Is rather singular, as Mr.. Warner is
partner of Senator Hawley, who Is con-
