The Republican National League pro-
poses to honor Senator ingalls, with re-
cepiion. The Senator Is entitled to the
compliment, but not as an answer TO the
silly charge that in unfolding his partys
record and in tearing the hasty patched

notorious Copperheads, he met with
Republican criticism Senator ingalls,
has healthy way of saying that black l.

THE PANAMA CANAL LOTTERY Loan
SANCTIONED significance of the
large majority by which the French
CT amber of Deputies sanctions the
Panama canal lottery loan of $4,000, 900
lies in the moral obligation il must ulti-
mately impose upon the French govern
ment to sustain the bankrupt enterprise
of NJ de Lesseps. The bill is not yet, ii
is true, law, but the influences which
are pushing it are powerful with the
Senate and the President, and no doubt
is entertained that it will be passed and
approved. NJ. de Lesseps will then be in
position to tell small investors that
France is pledged to his work. An
amendment 10 the bill expressly forbids
the company's using on the face of the
lottery bonds any terms implying that
the French government guarantees their
payment, but this will not prevent the
financiers who float the bonds from re-
presenting them as having the moral in
dorsement of the State. In the minds OF
the peasants who buy these bonds the
Panama canal will have become associat-
ed with State enterprises in which the
honor of France is involved, and they
will not be slow to call upon the French
treasury for relief from pecuniary loss
