Governor yesterday, but they guIped down
the Chicago platform, free whisky ant

of their mouths, however, the members OF

BLAINE ON TRUsTs.-Mr Blaine spoke
at Portland, Maine, on Wednesday. A
contemporary says "The important
point of his speech was that he won d
not commit himself by declaring That
trusts were either advantageous or dis
advantageous. They are largely private
affairs with which neither President
! Cleveland nor private citizens have any
particular right to interfere said MIR.
Blaine
1t would be strange indeed if Mr.. Blaine
were not on the side of every form OF
monopoly. A defender of subsidies,
bOunties for manufacturers and a national
surplus for politicians to squander would
naturally see nothing reprehensible in a
trust"
And of course he would consider them
private if anybody could follow the
maxim to "burn that letter"
NICARAGUA CANAL.-The labors OF
this expedition, while generally confirm
ing the conclusions of its predecessors,
have shown that the obstacles TO be en-
countered In the undertaking are less
than had been anticipated that natural
waterways can be more largely utilized
than was supposed possible, and that the
actual length of canal to be dug can be
reduced from about forty miles TO trifle
under thirty. The estimated cost of the
work, originally placed al S65 O0O, 900. is,
as a consequence, reduced to 100000 900
and the experiences of the past six
months demonstrate the healthfulness OF
the climate for the laborers who will be
engaged Boston Courier.
The GENERAL Is WRoNG.-Genela al
Harrison in speech Tuesday said the
statement that the Mills bill reduced tn
tariff butt per cent. was deception, be
cause II did not take account of the nd
ditious to the free list. There is just
where the General is wrong. If accoun,
be taken only of the dutiable list of the
Mills bill the reduction is but A. per
cent Ii both the free and the duliable
list be included In the reckoning the re
ductlon Is per cent. Ii is to be feared
that General Harrison is misleading his
