In view of the difficulties liable to arise
between this country and France growing
out of the Panama canal and the De-
Lesseps swindle, it is pleasing to know
that the reports which are coming from
the Nicaragua canal surveying party led
by Chief Engineer Menocal are highly
favorable, and it is thought that by this
time the larger part of locating the line
in the west is concluded. Engineer
Menocal, who has gone over the ground
with the surveying party, expresses him
self as highly pleased at the favorable
Typographical conditions. Extensive pro-
gress on the part of the photographic
section of the party which has been en-
gagged in taking tidal observations at Brito
and vicinity is also reported. and it is
announced that but little outlay will be
required TO make the harbor at this point
meet every requirement for the most ex-
through the canal. In the meantime
the work on the Panama canal
has come to standstill. But
the remarkable success which De
Lesseps and his associate spectators are
having with the French Chambers and the
French people in obtaining more funds,
will be likely to- push operations on the
Panama route for some time to come. The
Nicaragua or the Tehuantepec undertaking
may well be the hope of all patriotic
Americans.

House has done nothing. 1t has begun
and is carrying on fruitless debate,
caused by the extraordinary scheme of
forcing the Mills tariff bill through that
body, measure conceived and formulated
in secrecy, not called for by the country
but disturbing and injurious to the inter-
ests of business men and workmen en-
gagged in manufactures. This struggle in
the House is fruitless, except so far as it
may tend to enlighten the public mind as
TO the pernicious doctrines and dangerous
designs Of the Free Trade and Bourbon be-
mocracy. 1t is a debate over measure
which may possibly pass the House, but
which cannot get through the Senate. 1t
Is a measure which confesses that the
Democrats do not intend to try to reduce
the surplus nor to relieve the people from
the burden Of taxation under which they
are suffering. The party which proposes
to renoininate Mr.. Cleveland will go into
the campaign without record Of things
accomplished. 1t will rest entirely upon
its rhetorical and oratoricaI raid upon the
protective system. Ii il one more strik-
ing proof of the incompetency of the
Democratic party to be the controlling
power in this country.

Some Frank Statements.

We do not think it is in any sense fair
dealing" for the kennebec Journal to state
on Tuesday morning that the delegates of
Wiscasset are ''unpiedged, when the Asso-
ciated Press, three days before, stated ex-
plicity that they were instructed for Gov
Marble, which was the fact, the instructions
having been given in formal resolution

This charge, coming from a Republi-
can contemporary, is indeed a serious one.
We're it true, we should be Justly deserv-
ing OF censure. Our report Of the VII
casset caucus came from our resident cor
respondent, who was himself present, and
whom We have always found to be relia-
BILE. In order to be sure, however, that
he had made no mistake, we yesterday
telegraphed member of the delegation,
telling him of the charge which the Press
had made against us and asking him for "A
statement Of the facts. In reply we re-
ceived the following telegram:
WIsCAssET, May s, 1888.
At a Republican caucus held at Wiscas-
set, May 9Th, 1888, "A resolution was offer
tu ny ]. u. l1oD-On, endorsing Toy. Mar
ble's ability, and was adopted. The same
was published in the Portland Argus on
Monday, and in the Press on Tuesday. A
resolution was offered by Mr.. Small, to
vote and use their influence for Gov. Mar
bic at the State convention. and it was re-
jected The delegates will go to the State
convention June 18th, 1883, unpledged.
We will add that the Journal has never
failed to publish any and every caucus re-
port that has come to this office, either
through the Associated Press or from "A
responsible correspondent. 1t has never
published a report of any caucus for which
it had not the best of authority; neither
has it spoken one unkind or disparaging
word against any one Of the three candi-
dates for the gubernatorial office, all of
whom it recognizes as representative Re
publicans, who deserve nothing but fair
and courteous treatment from the MEM
bers of their party.
No doubt the Press will readily acqtlit

cheerfully do us the courtesy to correct
any false impression that may have gone
out from its editorial.

Temperance Republicans and Projections
ist Republicans, who make the chief

fully endorse the language of the Boston
Traveller that ''the attempt of the Provi-

principle is feeble in the extreme. 1t is
on its part childish talk to complain about

circles in the cities for several minutes,

housetops, Often several flocks unite and
fly together and then separate as people
do in dances. | have seen this several
times, but one day when on a minaret
saw men on different houses waving flags

focks flying at once-now mingling, then
Separating-and all done under the orders
OF their respective owners. They are
kept in sort of coop in the house top,

At last the residence of Mr.. Burleigh has
been definitely fixed. At the Augusta caucus
to elect delegates to the Portland convention,
the argument used to insure Burleigh men
was that the citizens of the capital should
support him because that city was his
home. '-Biddeford Journal.

honesty of our Republican contemporary
to believe that it will be prompt to correct
one of its errors or Measurements. 1t was
explicitly stated in the Augusta caucus
that this city is the official home or resi-
