THE PANAMA CANAL LOTTERY.

M. de Lesseps made no miscalculation OF his
chances of success when he appealed 10 tho
country against the Government lie knew
that there were at least 100000 families In
France who had invested their savings In
Panama Canal shares. When he requested
these shareholders to bring their political III
tiuence to bear upon the Chamber OF Deputies
he discerned the tremendous force OF the
agencies of public opinion which he would be
able to direct. The Deputies have felt the
pressure exertcd by these 100000 families
distributed among the various departments
The general elections arc coming on before
long, and the shareholders are ready to
slaughter candidates who may refuse to stand
between them and financial ruin. Paris bankers
and speculative capitalists throughout France
have held great blocks of NJ de Lcssepss Sc
curities and have united in influencing the
deputies in favor of the lottery loan. The
scruples of the legislators are gradually yield
ing. The bill. which the Ministry declined TO
present to the Chamber, has been introduced
by various members. A special committee of
eleven appointed to consider the proposal now
stands five to four in favor Of it. with two
members still uncommitted and Panama shares
have been advancing steadily in consequence
of the improved prospect of securing Govern
ment sanction for the lottery. The game has
not yet been won. but NJ. de Lesscps seems to
have the trumping cards in his hand
Many precedcnts can be quoted by French
legislators in justification of official sanction OF
NJ. de Lessepss lottery. II has been favoritc

the market. Bonds of the City Of Paris have

the prizes provided by lottery compensatine
investors for the low rate Of interest. In thai
case the chances Of the lottery rendered the
loan a popular investment; but the enterprise
: itself was legitimate one and the value OF tn
securities amply guaranteed. In the present
instance there is no similar guarantee. The
Panama Canal may or it may not be completed
and when finished it may or it may not prove
rcmunerative enterprise. Whatever 1t may
have been in the beginning. IL is now a purcl!
speculative undertaking. The Deputies arr
asked to Iegalize lottery loan that will diver

SOME RELIEF.

President Cleveland is said to have an
nounced that he will not take Justice OF the
Supreme Court from his Cabinet. This state
ment, IL 1t can be relied upon. is highly re-
assuring There seemed to be considerable
danger that the same perverse conception OF
"reform," which has kept Mr.. Garland In the
Cabinet, might prompt his translation to a seat
beside Mr. Lamar, where both could help TO
decide telephone and repudating cases. There
was also possibility that Mr. Villas. who Is
at present engaged in libel suit IN his own
State, in which some curious testimony regard
ing him is given by a Democratic editor might
be regarded by Reform President as peculiarly
worthy Of support and "vindication." 1t Is
good news that the Supreme Court is not to DC
visited in that way. As for Mr. Dickinson OF
Michigan, his supereminent usefulness as
Manager of Postmasters throughout the coun-
try, especially in picking good Democratic
workers and melting them to make Demo-
cratic partisan canvass at public expense Tor
bids the thought that he can be spared at
present. Observations on that matter In
"Harper's Weckly' indicate that Mr.. Curtis
is not yet quite reconciled to the habitual
methods of the every hungry and very thirsty
marty which he still helps to the best OF his
ability 1t would be rasping to his nerves TO
have the Postmaster-General translated to the
supreme Court, under the circumstances,
though he can support the President under
whom this political canvass is conducted
President Cleveland has not made such Sc
,ections hitherto, in judicial cases. that the
country is quito able to repose unhesitatlng ana
unouestioning confidence in his Judgment His
choice of territorial chief justices, at the Outset
was peculiarly unfortunate. The country has
not forgotten his pathetic letter in which he
denounced one of his own appointees as man
personally and professionally unfit. Inc
, trouble was that his best friends could not de-
termine which of six or seven chief justices
appointed he then referred to; unhappily there
were several of them, in the judgment Of not
admiripg neighbors who seemed to fill the
bill. Tn subsequent selections the Presdcn,
has manifested ANYTHING bnt a high conception
Of the qualifications needed for judicial station.
The country knows how little Mr.. Lamar was
fitted, by calmness and conservatism OF OPINION.
bv attachment to the Constitution and regard
for the integrity and honor of hls country. by
freedom from regulating associations in MIS-
sissippi and from stock -jobbing friends in the
Pan-Electric ring. for that exalted station to
which the President promoted him. 1t is not
strange. under the circumstances that some
anxiety is felt regarding the choice Of Chief
Justice, and it is at least gratifying to know
that there are two or three emnently incom-
petcnt and unworthy persons who are not in
danger of being selected.

CL1PP'S WAGER.

Clapp of Boston, wants to bet $4,000 that
Grover Cleveland if nominated and the nomlna-
ton is accepted by him will be elected President
of the United States next November The nan
who lays wagers on a Presidential election always
appears about this time Of the Presidential year.
His brother who meanders through railway trains
collecting straws" will not get in his work
until later preferring to wait until the nominating
conventions shall have been held. This variety
Of wagering is harmless occupation, much al
fected by persons who have laundering after
the publicity that attends the appearance of ones
name in the newspapers. But the occupation OF
straw-talSing is by no means free from peril In
fact 1t is hazardous For after the travelling
public has been prodded by a pencil for one or
two months and has answered for thousand-and-
one times the question, Who's your choice Tor
President?" 1t is accustomed TO hire an urbane
brakeman to kill the interloper and pitch him
of the train
But about Clapp OF Boston, who wants
to bet $4,000 on Cleveland If nominated
and the nomination be accepted We are 10th
to believe that the reason why Clapp makes
this rash display Of his wealth is owing to his
aboring under the impression that Cleveland can
be counted upon to decline nomination. But
what are the facts Clapp undoubtedly remembers
that Clevelands letter accepting the Presidential
nomination in SS4 contained this salient para
graph:
| When we consider the patronage Of this great
Office tho alurements of power, tho tcuptatlOn TO
retain place once gained, and more than all, tho
availability party finds In an incumbent whom
horde of office holders with zeal born OF benefits
and fOstered by tho hope OF favors yer to come
stand ready to aid with money and trained political
service recognize In the eligibility OF tho Pres
dent for reelec Ion a most serious danger 10 that
calm deliberate and intelligent political action which
must characterize a government by the people.
Would IL be strange, in view Of this emphatic
utterance of Cleveland against the eligibility Of
a President for reelection, that Clapp-in case
he happens to regard Cleveland rs q man who
means what he says-should feel that he ran no
risk In betting on Cleveland, since Cleveland
was certain not to rum The only wonder is
that he didn't make his bet $4,000, 900 instead Of
$4,000.
While on this subject beg leave TO call
the attention of Clapp Of Boston, to Force, OF
Newark. Force may interest him. Our advice
to Clapp, and to all other persons who propose
to bet, is--dont But the fact remains that Force,
Of Newark, few days ago published the following
