New York SUM-
Adirondack Murray put the Canadian
question in nutshell when he said at the
Boston meeting: LET Canada herself decide
her own course, and let us give her no cause
OF offence, but stand ready to welcome her
into our union" There is nothing to be
added to this as a statement of American
policy toward Canada. Yet some of eur Cana
dian contemporaries have been thrown into
state Of alarm by the prospect of yankee
aggression and by the Yankee mania for
annexation" There is no need of these APP
prehensions and no cause for them. Our
government has not INDUCED in any menace
toward Canada. When the Canadians them
selves ind that they cannot restrain their de-
sire Tor admission into the American Union
we shall take their case into consideration.

The new capital punishment law that goes
into effect in New York on the first of Janu-
airy, not only provides that the criminal shall
be despatched by electricity, but also de-
priyes executions of good deal of the eclat
which has heretofore surrounded them by
forbidding the newspapers to report them in
detail. The reform in this respect is being
vigorously assailed by the journals of New
York as an infringement upon the liberty of
the press guaranteed by the constitution,
and there is really quite commotion about
1t. A number of the papers threaten to dis
obey the law at the first opportunity. in order
to make a test case.

The Panama Canal.

1t was in 1879 that De Lesseps published
his first prospectus, inviting subscriptions
for 100000 shares of Panama Canal stock at
500 each. The shares, however, were not
taken. year later he invited proposals for
100000 shares, and upwards of 100000
shares were taken by 102.23O subscribers.
The large number of subscribers shows that
the stock went very largely into the hands
of people of small means. AS was the case
with the Suez canal enterprise, syndicates
aud bankers and men Of large wealth looked
upon the Panama project with distrust, and it
was upon the people that De Lesseps had to
depend. The secret of the confidence of the
latter is to be found in the history of the Suez
enterprise, which was derided by capitalists.
frowned upon by governments and secuted
by engineers, but which nevertheless became
one OF the most wonderful successes fnan-
cially ana in every other way that the world
has seen. The people naturally assumed
that the genius that had triumphed over the
obstacles of the Suez route was equal to the
difficulties Of the Panama scheme, and SO
they poured their savings into De Lesseps's
last ditch with little questioning and little
Investigation, relying implicitly upon the
representations and the promises of the great
engineer. That they were deceived is now
conclusively proved. The estimated cost of
the Panama canal was $16S, 00O, 900, allowing
10 per cent. for contingencies, but up to June
OF last year there had been expended $780,
100000 and the work was not half DONE
Indeed, some engineers affirm that it was
little more than begun. AT the rate of prog
ress that has marked the enterprise SO far
the lowest estimate of time needed for its
completion is six years. and this undoubted-
ly is altogether too low. But it is by no
means certain that the completion of the
canal according to the present plan is posi-
bic In any time or with any amount of
money. There are natural obstacles which
may prove insurmountable. Many distin-
guished engineers have predicted from the
start that either the route or the plan must
be changed If the work is to succeed at all.
But one thing is settled. The De Lessons
company can never complete the ork. The
genius and fame OF its President have kept it
apoVe water longer IMAM appraIru pvssrprv
to those acquainted with the financial diff
culties under which it was struggling, but
they have now been played for all they are
worth, and the catastrophe has come, sweep
ing away with it not emily the savings of tens
of thousands Of Frenchmen, but in great
measure the fame of the man who invited il.
What was meant to be the browning glory of
De Lesseps's life turns out bitter disap-
pointment. And unhappily it touches not
only his fame as an engineer, but mis- honor
and integrity as man, for the tens of thous-
ands of his countrymen who find their saw
ings suddenly swept away will hardly be
ready to acquit him of all responsibility for
the concealments and misrepresentation
that have been made to them concerning the
condition and progress of the work through
circulars issued by the company.

A Victory Of Peace.

Even now bloodless revolution is
going on throughout the Transvaal.
The inroad Of English and English
speaking eolonists is anglicizing every
thing. The telegraph is open to Bar
berton, and when the Dutch conces-
sionnaires continue the Delagoa Bay
Railway to Pretoria the rapid means
OF communication and social inter
course will all tell their tale. Even
now, [ may safely affirm, there is more
English than Dutch spoken in the re-
public. The Queens jubilee was cele-
DRAFTED from the Vaal River to the
Limpopo. There are now many En-
glish farmers. and the chief businesses
of the country are conducted by En-
glishmen. The older Dutch members
OF the community are viewing all these
changes with alarm; they would fain
be left in peace; they fear their coun-
try is going to be wrested from them.
They do not realize that the "Verdomte
Engleshmann" is replenishing their
exchequer to the tune of 100000 q
month, developing the resources Of
their country and finding q ready
market for their produce. But the
younger generation are being educated,
and are better informed. Longmon's

dow along the entire route there were yer
seated enthusiastic spectators, VINO
cheered the Ice King with will. AS
the procession started from Seven
Corners the crowd assembled there
gave a hearty cheer, and this was car
ried along the line, growing louder al
every step. ..,,,,
There were thousands Of people from
the rural districts and surrounding
Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota
towns, who were paying their first vlslt
to celebration of this nature, and the
police had hard work to keep excited
farmers and wild-eyed woodmen from
the logging districts from climbing teie-
graph poles and converting the ice
statues along the line Of march INTO
points of observation. Thousands OF
women were out, and in their enthus-
iasm forgot that the keen wind that
blew down the valley was covering
their noses and cheeks with frost. They
insisted with logged determination on
getting in the front row of observers,
and they got there. Muffs, handker-
chiefs and hats were waved in the air.
and chorus of yells went up that
made the heavens ring. There was .
great deal more enthusiasm manifested
than has been shown before since the
first year of the carnival, and the asso
