THE PANAmA CANAL.

Everybody ib now looking for the collapse of the Panama canal scheme, which is inevit- able unless the French government takes 1t up and carries it out. When N. de Lesseps first appealed to investors he promised that $125, ,000, 900 and S160, 900 and be com rleted by January 1, 1889. His funded debt now exceeds $350, ,00O, 900 and his oatstand- ing obligations embrace $50, 900 more, and his engineers are unable to furnish even approximate estimates of the sum required for finishing the great ditch.
 It is now said by some that the French government will take the great load off of
 de Lesseps and his investors But there are
 serious difficulties in the way of this. When
 the company Kas formed the French govern
 ment assured the government of the United
 States that it was in no way concerned in the
 venture and did not propose to support it di-
 rectly or indirectly. A part of the letter of
 Minister Outrey was as follows: Although we
 have for the conceptions of our eminent con-
 patriot the sympathy which it is impossible
 not to feel for projects whose accomplish
 ment would be an honor to civilization and
 to the age in which we live, the French gov
 ernment, as I have already had the honor to
 assure you, is In no way concerned in that
 enterprise and in nowise proposes to interfere
 therein or to give 1t any support either direct
 or indirect. am happy to be authorized to
 comply with the desire which you have ex-
 pressed to nae by now renewing in writing
 assurances which do not doubt will put an
 end to all uncertainty as to the nature of the purpose entertained by the government.
 It is not probable that the French legisla- ture will recklessly adopt another policy than that laid down in Minister Outrey's letter. The New York Tribune gives some good rea- sons why they should not, as follows: A ship canal across the Isthmus under the control of any European government would be direct menace to this nation. In the event of war it could pass hostile vessels and exclude our own. If an armed vessel of France could reach San Francisco by way of the Isthmus 1 in 8 few days, while an armed vessel from New York could be compelled to go around Cape Horn, the situation would become in- \ tolerable. Nor could any foreign government \ be depended upon to treat with absolute im- partiality it's own and American merchant | the intention, government would sooner or later consider the commercial interests of its people. The United States wants no such l cause of controversy with any foreign power | The short and sure way to prevent it was to give fair warning that the completion of the
 canal under the control of any foreign gov- ernment would be considered an unfriendly act. This was done, and the United States ' will hold France to it's obligations.

John Ruskinss Dog WIsie.


 And my dog Wisie, was he dead too? It seems wholly wonderful to me at this mo- ment that he should ever have died. He was white Spitz, exactly like Carpaccio's dog in the picture of St. Jerome, and he came to me from young Austrian officer, who had got tired of him-the Count Thur, who fell afterward at Solferino. Before the dog was used enough to us George and took him to Lido to give him little sea bath. George was holding him by his forepaws up- right among the little crisp breakers. Wisie snatched them out of his hands and ran at full speed-into Fairyland, like Frederick the Great at Mollwitz. He was lost on Lido for three days and nights, living by petty larceny, the fishermen and cottagers doing all they could to catch him, but they told me he iran like a hare and leaped like a horse"
 At last, either overcome by hunger, or having made ap his mind that even my ser- vice was preferable to liberty on Lido, he took the deep water in broad daylight and swam straight for Venice. A fisherman saw him from distance, rowed after him, took him, tired among the weeds, and brought him to me-the Madonna della Salute having been propitious to his repentant striving with the sea.
 From that time he became an obedient and affectionate dog, though of extremely self-willed and self possessed character. I was then living on the north side of St. Marks place, and he used to sit outside the window on the ledge at the base of the pill lars the greater part of the day, observaHt of the manners and customs of Venice. Re turning to England took him over the St.. Gothsrd, but found him entirely unappalled by any of the work of devils on it-big or little. He saw nothing to trouble himself about in precipiees if they were wide enough to put his paws on, and the dog who had fled madly from a crisp sea wave trotted beside the fall of Reuss just ss if it had been an- other white dog, 8 little bigger, created out of foam.
 Reaching Paris he considered 1t incum bent upon him to appear unconscious of the exis- teaee of that city, or of the Tuileries gar- dens and Rue Rivoli, since they were not St. Marks place; but, half asleep one evening on sofa in the entresol at Neurices, and hearing bark in the street which sounded Venetian, sprang through the window in ex- peetation of finding himself on the usual | ledge and fell fifteen feet to the pavement. As ran down met him rushing up the ho- tel stairs Che had gathered himself from the stones in an instant) bleeding and giddy; he staggered round and round two or three times and fell helpless to the floor. don't know if young ladies' dogs faint really when I they are hurt. He, Wisie, did not faint, nol ! even moan, but he could not stir except 1T cramped starts and shivers. sent for whai veterinary help was within reach, and heard

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Where is the United States navya In the mud.
 Capital punishment has been abolished in Italy. It was abolished in Switzerland some seven years ago, but the result was not re- garded as satisfactory, and capital punish ment was again re-enacted. It is curious that it should now be abandoned in Italy, where the murder rate is the highest in Europe.
 The number of licenses to sell intoxicating liquors which can be issued in Boston the coming year will be just 7s0, being one to each 500 of the 390, 900 inhabitants of the oity, as ascertained by the last State census. The number of licenses of all classes issued the present year is 2,830. This will necessi- tate quite wedding out of the saloons.
 Joe Topp is Cherokee Indian and mem- Der of the tribal senate. He is also an hon. est man. A lobbyist went to Joe and told him that he could make money by going home and staying there two days He first showed $500. then $500, finally $1, 900. Five hundred dollars day for doing nothing seems large sum to most people. It is very large to Cherokee Indian. But it did not tempt Joe "The man must be ceazy," he said. "Whati Joe Topp sell out and go homei Joe would not go for $2,00o." Joe Topp deserves promotion.
 A little volume has just been issued in Paris written by Dr. Paul Love, in which the question of death by decapitation is discussed at length scientifically. Dr. Loye's experi- ments have been conducted chiefly at the ex- pense of dogs, of which he has beheaded 8 great number. He has noted with great ex- actness all the motions of the eyes, tongue, lips, ears and jaws of the animals during the first few seconds after the severance of their heads from their bodies, and has reached the conclusion that in every case death was ab solutely painless. He will publish hereafter the results of similar experiments in the case of human beings.
 Representative Howard, of Indiana, gives some geod reasons for his proposition to pun ish Yote-selling by Acknowledgement for 8 term of years. He says that the extreme penalties of heavy fines and long imprison- ment imposed for this offense by the statutes of Indiana render 1t extremely difficult to secure conviction. law that can not be enforced is almost worse than none at all. Disfranchising bribe takers for term of five or ten years would have deterrent effect, and if it did not cure the venal voters, 1t would at least take them out of the market | for gooe while Another excellent feature of Mr. Towards bill is the proviso exempt ! ing from prosecution the person charged | with selling his vote, if he makes known and
 testiaes against the person who gave or promised the bribe.
 A statute was passed by the last legislature

50 far as they can by 8 retrospective act, make legal marriage in the meantime entered into. A law that so particularly affects social life and all social traditions should never be adopted by legislature until full throughout the length and breadth of the State.

 Colonel Wright, commissioner of labor, expects to send tive interesting volames to Congress before the present session closes. One will be the fourth annual report of the labor bureau, and will be devoted to working women in great cities.

The other volume will be of about the same size, and Col Wright hopes to have it ready by the end of January. It will be report on die vorces and divorce laws sor which a special appropriation was made by Congress. The records of 2.700 courts have been examined. and the volume will give, in classified form, numbers of divorces with causes, number of children when divorced, and other accessible information. The agents of the department of labor are now at work on their fifth an- nual report, which will not be ready for year yet, on the wages of railroad men.
