The Nicaragua Project.

A cablegram states that at a meeting of
English shipowners at Liverpool, on Tues
day, it was determined to assist in the cou-
struction Of a ship canal across Nicaragua.
Plans were examined at the meeting and
decided upon that will, it Is believed, &C
cOmmOdate all the commerce that will seek
passage through the proposed canal for
many years to come.
If it be true that English ship owners
propose to lend the Nicaragua enterprise
Il helping hand, there is fair prospect
that it will be undertaken very soon, and be
completed before the Panama canal is
finished. According to the reports Of the
Liverpool meeting, English shipo Hners pro
pose to raise enough money to insure the
completion Of the canal. Already very
large amount has been subscribed in this
country, and there will be no great diff
Guilty in securing other subscriptions as
soon as it is reasonably certain that the
canal is to be constructed, and the capitalists
in England will contribute towards it as
literally as they now promise to do.
DeLeSseps is not getting money as rapidly
as he hoped to. SINE reports say that two
thirds of the lottery loan has been taken
and others only one-half, if the whole of it
were taken it would not be sufficient to
complete the canal When the money de
rived from the last scheme is used up it will
be difficult to get any more. France may
be forced by circumstances to undertake to
complete the great work, but if she is she
will stand a fair chance of being bankrupted.
The Nicaragua project is steadily growing
in favor, and it certainly looks now as if it
would soon take definite shape, with plenty
of money behind it.

Senator Turpie of Indiana had something
to say about the republican candidate for
President in speech in the senate on Mon
day. He knows Gen. Harrison we'll and
has high appreciation of him as a citizen,
but he does not think that he would make a
President who would suit the people. He
said that Gen. Harrison was a well-be-
loved and chosen representative of the rank
and lawless growth of Incorporated power.
He would faithfully befriend, protect and
encourage American industries by the high
est, most prohibitory and unnecessary re-
strictions, and by the permitted immigra-
ton of the Chinaman, Although he was a
man of no inconsiderable capacity, of great
mental force and acumen, he had that
which was not often found with such quail
ties-a harsh intolerance which treated dis
sent as idiocy Deeply touched and tinged
with the prejudices of an exclusive class
aristocracy, he belonged to that group Of
reactionary statesmen traditional pattern
alists), whom the people had so often re-
jected, and would reject again" This
picture of their candidate will hardly find
favor with the republicans, but there is no
doubt that it is very correct one.
