THE NICARAGUA CANAL

THE NICARAGUA CANAL
The action of the senate in voting to in
corporate the Nicaragua Canal company meets
with very general approval. De Lesseps'
great scheme seems likely to be great fail
ure, and the managers of the Nicaragua plan
have chosen good time to push it.
1t is evident that the proposed Nicaragua
canal can be quickly and easily made, and
that its cost will be nothing alarming. But
ths chief reason why the citizens of this
country are and should be interested in it is
that it is all enterprise of national impor-
tance which can be kept free from foreign
control. The ssuate did well in requiring
that the President and majority of the di-
rectors should always be citizens and resi-
dents of the United States, and that a con-
trolling interest in the canal should be re-
tained in this country. The Providence
Journal well says: At least no American will
doubt that whatever means of inter-oceanic
communication is opened between the west
ern continents, should be absolutely and def
nitely beyond the reach of foreign control,
and probably the suspicion with which the
present enterprise has been regarded, out
side of rival commercial interests, has been
due almost entirely to the uncertainty wheth-
er purely private organization could be
made and kept distinctively national. The
history of the Suez canal shows only too
clearly how easy it is for political interests to
dominate private enterprise, and Senator
Teller may not be far wrong when he asserts
that we shall yet be brought to the trouble-
some necessity of meeting an attempt to re-
peat that history at Panama. The endeavor
which it would be our duty to oppose at
Panama it is the part of wisdom to forestall
at Nicaragua.
1t is probable that the great work at Mica
ragua will soon be begun and carried out
quickly and triumphantly. Success to it.

The New Jersey legislature doesn't care
anything for the governors veto of the local
option and high license law. 1t is Repub-
ican measure, passed almost exclusively by
Republican votes. The local option feature
is similar to the statutory provisions of other
States. The high license idea is based on
population. In towns of 5000 inhabitants
or less the license fees are not to be less than
800; for places between 5000 and 10000
the fees $3.50 or more, while for those of
more than 10, 900 the minimum limit is $3.50.
The governors veto is on the constitutionah-
ty of the law. The governor argues that
population is not proper basis for classif-
cation and that there is no affinity between
classification adopted. A decision from the
court cannot be obtained in less than year.
The man who can make diamonds can
have anything he wants that money can buy.
Professor SIMMER brings forward the some
what plausible theory that the basis of dia-
mond formation is liquid or ique6ed carbon
ic acid. Indeed, facts observed by different
savants tend to show, 1t is said, the presence
of this agent in the coating of the most valu-
able of gems. Upon the bursting of such
crystals there are often found to occur two
liquids in the cavities, the one behaving like
water, the other like liquid carbonic acid.
On one occasion, indeed. it was observed that
the liquid in quartz crystal which was
dashed to pieces scattered its contents around
with a great noise, burning holes in the
handkerchief which was wound around the
hands of the experimenter. The acid content
itself had disappeared. Under these cireum-'
stances NJ. SIMMER argues that if carbon be
soluble in liquid carbonic acid it would then
only be necessary to subject the solvent to
slow evaporation. The carbon would there
by be deposited and, by taking proper care,
assume crystalline forms, and in evaporating
quickly the so-called black diamond, which
in the state of powder is so much used for
polishing, the oolorlsss diamond might be
nrodueed

have it that another messenger had it and
had taken another trail that was simply a
blind to fool road agents. That was too
thin, they said, and they proceeded to search
me. They then ripped up my saddle, and
even closely examined the girth, but found
nothing. After a good deal of swearing
they bade me get on my mule and make my

Hints on Horse Breeding.

In breeding q common mare to q thoroughbred horse of suitable size and substance the farmer has all the chances in his favor. Should the product be colt he will be useful as a general purpose from his three-year- old form up to the time he is sold, and he will be found to have quality enough for almost any market for which his size may it him. Half bred horses are always in demand at fairly remunerative prices, and there is, perhaps, not q commodity in the horse market for which there is q more continuous demand. Half bred mares are extremely valuable in the stud, especially if they are under sized One of these can he bred to d trotting stallion with reasonable chances of securing d fast and lasting trotter, to coach horse for the re- production of his kind in an improved form, or to the thoroughbred for the production of the ideal hunter or sad dle hack. Indeed, the thoroughbred cross is almost sure to give back value in one shape or another, though the feal in it's first year may be one Of the most unpromising ever dropped on the farm. - Ca90diaH Breeder.

So uthern Grasses.

A well educated and successful farm for several years given interested at tention to what | have heard and read concerning lucern as q forage plant and although the development of its quality has been very slow, and many efforts at it's production in this section have been almost complete failures, have never doubted the great possi. bilities of the plant as stock food, both in the green and cured state. l have always had substantially the same views as to what was necessary to the successful production of it as those re- peatedly put forth editorially in the columns Of The Cuttientor.
 4 correspondent of the Coweta County Advertiser, published at New man, Ga, gives this account of lucern in that vicinity: Many years ago the father of the writer seeded two acres with lucern. The plat of ground was exceedingly rich and adjoined the horse lot in which ten mules were fed Two hundred pounds were fed to these ten mules every evening, and at least i've more could have been furnished, so rapid was the growth, My father claimed that these two acres were worth at least one hundred bushels of corn and half supply of fodder for ten mules. Many persons plant lueern for hay, and the ex-
