SOME days ago, discussing the Canadian
annexation scheme, the RECORD UNION
expressed the belief that Canada was more
likely to become an independent nation
than portion of the United States. 1t
then advised that those who really desired
the annexation to be accomplished should
b at pains to prevent any legislative or
other governmental expression being made
of desire to absorb Canada. Mr. Butter
no til of Ohio has ''done' for the scheme
by introducing resolutions in the House
favoring it and directing that steps looking
to annexation be taken. That ends the
matter for long time; if any Canadians
desired the union of the countries they
will not now be able to stand up and adj
vocate the scheme. We are not at all
sorry that Mr.. Butterworth has laid at
rest the whole matter. We do not need
Canada; much less does Canada need the
United States.

DE LEssEPs' LOST HOPE.
The Chamber of Deputies Refuses to Aid
the Canal COMPANY

Inc Canal Company
LONDON, December 16th.-The Panama
Canal Company is doomed, the last effort
to obtain assistance from the Government
having failed. In the Chamber of Deputies
last night the bill submitted by NJ Peytral.
Minister of Finance. authorizing the COM
pany to suspend the payment of interest on
its bonds for three months, was reported
adversely by the special committee ap-
pointed, under vote of urgency, to con-
slider it.
A long and excited debate followed.
Pathetic appeals were made to the House
to sustain the great enterprise with which
the honor and pride of the nation were
bound up. On the other hand bitter de-
nunciations were heard of the mismanage-
ment of the affairs of the company, Of wan
ton extravaganza and misappropriation of
funds, and of wholesale corruption of the
press and deception of the public.
There were many violent scenes and the
President more than once threatened to
suspend the sitting. Finally, amid excite
ment so intense that it nearly Quoted the
Chamber, the question on the adoption Of
the committees report was put aud it was
adopted by q vote or 262 10 lis.
THE CHAMBER DENOUNCED.
PARIS, December 1eth.-The Boulangist
ana conservative Journals violently de-
nounce the rejection of the Panama Canal
bill. Camill Dreyfus writes that the
Deputies abandonment of the $50 600
shareholders is a crime for which the policy
of defamation pursued for the past sixteen
months is responsible. For fear of sus-
picion. the Deputies permitted citizens to
be ruined, when they did not need to risk
a SOU to save them.
DE LEssEPs RECEIVES THE NEWS.
PARIS. December 16th.-When De Lesseps
heard of the rejection of the Panama Canal
bill his face blanched, and his hand be-
came very cold. He soon recovered his
usual calmness, however, and spoke sadly
of the wreck and of the fearful disaster to
himself and the nation.

THE Prohibitionists polled 1882 votes
in Indiana in the recent Presidential cleo
ton. Unquestionably, that sheared Cen
eral Harrison's majority of 5000 votes.
Yet those voters knew there was no posi-
bility of electing the Prohibition candidate.
Admit that they voted for a principle
and their sincerity we do not question
was the principle by so much advanced ?
We think not, since the Prohibition vote
contributed directly to the strength of the
Democratic party, from which the temper
anee people have nothing whatever to ex-
pect, not even sympathy. Had the Pro-
hibitionists been proportionately as strong
IN New York as in Indiana, they would
have elected man who has never mani
Tested the slightest concern for the princi-
pie involved, and would have played into
the hands of compactly and strong body,
organized in express opposition to any sort
OF control or regulation of the liquor traf-
nc whatever, and that poured money like
water into the support of their cause;
votes cast for what is claimed is a great
good would have served the triumphs of a
gigantic evil. In other words, the idea of
reform would have galloped away with it
into the camp of its opponents.

The Supreme Court of the State of New
York has ruled that the ballot is by the
Constitution secret; that it was in its crea-
ton so intended, and that any mark or
device put upon it to destroy the integrity
Of that intention is unlawful, as defeating
the purpose of its establishment Gov
ernor Hill now comes forward and an
nounces himself as in favor of legislation to
reform the election laws and especially to
further the purpose of securing Sc
cret ballot. The Legislature of New York
is Republican, and the party is by declara-
tion and principle favorable to all wise
means to guarantee the seeresy of the bal
lot. Governor Hill will, therefore, have
an early opportunity to demonstrate the
sincerity of his declaration. New York
needs ? new election law more than any
other State in the Union, and especially is
there a demand for reformation of its sys-
teiu Of counting the vote.

AT HARRIsON,s HOME.
Quiet Day-Arrival of Unique Gift
from Nebraska.

A Quiet Day-Arrival of a Unique Gift
from Nebraska.
INDIANAPOLIS, December 16th-The in
clement weather resulted in a rather poor
attendance at the churches this morning.
General Harrison passed to-day quietly at
home. Hon. J. New received a letter from
Senator Quay to day stating that he would
leave Washington on Monday night
for Indianapolis. Two or three
of the correspondents for Eastern
journals sIs said 10 be engaged
tonight in adding new name to Presi-
dent Harrison's Cabinet in the person of
Governor J. B. Foraker to whom they have
assigned the Attorney Generalship.
A sod cabin built by citizens of Loup
City, Sherman county, Neb., as a gift for
General Harrison, arrived in the city this
evening. 1t occupies an entire fat-car. 1t
is eighteen feet long and nine feet high.
The balance of the car is fenced in as a
Gooryard. What they propose to do with
the house is a puzzle, since it seemingly
cannot be removed from the car without
falling to pieces. 1t is probable that it will
be sldetracked and taken to Washington
for the inaugural parade

the process for debt against the company
It is matter with which legislative
body cannot afford to interfere, even if all
doubt as to the authority to do so were
removed. 1t is probable that new COM
pany will be formed and the canal work
eventually pushed, but twill not be done
speedily. From the wreck creditors can
hope TO get little, but by rehabilitating
the scheme portion of that sunk can
probably be secured before the close of
the century.

THE NEWS FROM THE soUDAN.

The report of the capture Of Emin
Pasha by the Mahdi, although it comes
through that outlaw Osman Digna, made
Emir by Abdallah Tashi, whom the Mahdi
made the Khalifa over the Soudan, is so
well authenticated as to leave scarcely any
doubt as to its verify. But the rumored
taking of Stanley by the False Prophet is
not of a character to be credited. If the
English press operations for the relief of
Suakim it is probable that Emin viii be
executed. In that event we may expect
the bitterest war in the valley OF the Nile
known in modern if not in all time. The
demand of the Mahdi that Egypt shall
give up the valley Of the Nile and reeog-
nize his rule might possibly be the basis
for negotiations were it not for the inter
ests of the English, who as well as the
Porte, will not consent to any treating
whatever upon that line, Notwithstanding
the fact that England has failed for now
nearly five years to wrest the country from
the control of the rebels and slave-dealers,
who have for long time ruled in defiance
OF all efforts to unseat and drive them
back. Our interest centers chiefly in the
fate Of Stanley, from whom no news has
been received since he reached the country
of the Mobele that inspired any conf
dence. That was in July, 1887, though
the story of his capture with Emin Bey,
if true, proves that he reached the latter
at Wadelai. When he started from Zlm-
buga Falls, which was the point from
hich reliable information of HIM came.
he had less than 500 men, and of these
mere handful was European. Some of
these must have succumbed TO African
fever and the hardships of the march
across 100 miles of unexplored country
and it is reasonable to suppose also that
Stanley has been unable to hold loyal to
his cause-a noble one, by the way, the
breaking up of the slave trade and estab-
fishing a highway for trade between the
upper waters of the Congo and the Nile
the fighting men of the tribes who had so
much to gain by his success. 1t is
dreary outlook, therefore, for Stanley, and
while we may hope for his safety, eighteen
months of failure to receive from him
any reliable news gives reason for the be-
lief that his expedition has failed.
Since the above was in type, last nights
dispatches give currency to the story that
Emin Pasha was surrendered in chains to
the Khalifa at Ladeo, on the White Nile,
by his own men, and that white traveller
was surrendered with him. But whether
this was Stanley is a matter of doubt. The
fact that the Khalifa tells of letter found
on Emin, written by the Khedive giving
HIM instructions how to make his way
down the Nile, makes it look dark for
Stanley's fate, for he bore that letter to
Emin, and knowledge of it by the Khal-
ifa tends to prove that Enin and Stanley
met, and that possibly the latter is pris-
orer with him.

Mr.. HENRY WATrERsoN says the aver
age negro in the cotton, sugar and rice
belts is no more fit to vote than an ourang-
outang. But the South is willing to gain
its representation in Congress upon the
basis of the vote ofthe people of whom Mr..
Watterson speaks. The logic of his charge
would be the disfranchisement of the negro
who is so unfit to vote and incapable of
taking care of his VOTE" but that would
undercut the Soutf's political strength in
