THE PANAMA DITCH.

M. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu the editor of the L. Economiste Francais, has several times plainly showed his countrymen the true con- dition of M. de Lesseps' great canal scheme at Panama, and they have only themselves to blame if they invest any more of their money in it. M. Leroy Beaulieu's latest arti- cle is serious one for de Lesseps and his aids to deal with. De Lesseps' new prom ises have no charm for him. He thinks they will turn out as the others have. De Lesseps declares that the canal with locks will be opened on February 3, 1890, but the compa- ny's reports show that he began by promis- ing that a sea-level canal should be opened on October 1, 1887, and then moved this date forward to January 1, 1888, March i, 1889, and July 1, 1889. At first he an- nounced that the entire cost of sea level canal would be $120, ,00O, 900, and then sue eessively raised his figures to $214, 00O, ,O00 and $240, ,000, 900, while now he assures his shareholders and the world that the cost of a lock canal will be $500, ,O00, ,00e M. Leroy Beaulieu doesn't see any good renson to be- lieve him.
 M. Leroy Beaulieu further remarks that no appeal was made to the French government for counsel at the origin or during the con duct of the enterprise, and that it is not un- til all serious men regard the scheme as an utter failure that the ministry is summoned rather than requested to come to it's aid He points out that a lottery loan would not be likely to attract subscriptions at lower rate of discount than that already paid. The Panama directors could not, if their request were granted, borrow money at less than g or 10 per cent. interest; and the real object of the application to M. Rouvier is to obtain the government stamp upon the enterprise in the hope of thus attracting new subscrib.- CTS. "We are ourselves convinced" sa5s Ii. Leroy, "that the attempt will fail. The Gulf of Panama is too unfathomable to be filled up in this manner. The government authorization might enable the company to retard by three or six months the inevitable catastrophe. The upshot would be the same; we should have only devoured little more of French savings and uselessly com promised the government
 M. Leroy -Beaulieu expresses regret that while his efforts are appreciated by the great and by the moderate capitalists of France, among whom no one believes in the future of the Panama canal, they have not entirely to preserve them from the ruin brought on them by the company; but he finds symp- toms that even here his work has not been altogether in vain. It is pity that there are not more of them.

AN OVERCOAH STORY.

American woven cloths and cloths woven in Scotch and English mills, made up by our own company, the Standard Clothing Company i'm Boston, the largest cloth ing concern in this country, occupying two acres of floor space at 595 Washington street, and having more than thirty branch stores.
 Buying materials in such enormous quan- titles, often contracting for the entire output of mills, the company can make clothing at the lowest prices, giving the retail buyer the margin that would otherwise go to jobbers. The best tailor talent is employed, and, therefore, clothing is not only low in price, but up to the standard of style and it.
 An overcoat is a companion for three months yet, and is then undimned for next seasons wear. Prudent buying is forehanded. A proyidential purchase is one of our over coats now reduced in price 25 to 50 per cent. to S16.50, to $12 and to $S5O.

On July LIST regular trains will begin run

Joaquin, will be opened Newman is new

Another extension to be opened is the Vaca

miles up the Capay valley to Rumsey, and
regular trains will begin running also on
the branch being built westerly from Will

cino, and now completed for seventeen
miles out to point called Fruito.
The popular Sunset excursions" which
the Southern Pacific has been running
from Boston to Los Angeles every winter,
the summer. This step has been decided
upon by reason of the inquiry about Cali
fornia in New England and the Middle
States and the general movement of popu-
lation westward, independent of those
travellers whose journeys are controlled
only by the seasons. These excursion
trains are fitted with the tourist-sleeping
cars, and each train is in charge of depu-
tized agent of the railroad company. Many
of these excursionists are ticketed through to
San Francisco, going only to the south be-
cause these excursions followed that route.

A Warning.


The modes of deaths approach are va
rious, and statistics show eonclusively that
more persons die from diseases of the
throat and lungs than any other. 1t is
probable tina. everyone, without exception,
receives vast numbers of tubercle germs
into the system, and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is shown
by a slight tickling sensation in the throat,
and if allowed to continue their rayages
they extend to the lungs, producing con-
sumption, and to the head, causing
catarrh. Now all this is dangerous, and if
allowed TO proceed will in time cause DEATH
At the onset you must act with prompt
ness; allowing cold to go without atten-
ton is dangerous, and may lose you your
life. As soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils,
obtain bottle of Boschee's German Syrup.
