Our republican friends need not
fool themselves on the supposition
that the democratic party is dead.
The returns of the late municipal
elections in Ohio, Illinois and even
IN Kansas and Iowa, the strong
holds of republicanism, convey les
sons that may conduce to profitable
reflections if not emotional pleas
ure. Let it not be forgotten that a
party in power is always confronted
by 9 party out Of power, and that
the price Of power, like that of lib
erty, is eternal vigilance.

taking it, as it would cost more
than our civil war did, or than the
Franco-German war, tremendous as
was the expense of these. The
original plan was to cut through
the Isthmus, make a tide level
canal, without locks. This plan
was changed to one with locks,
raising the summit level to $50 feet
above tide. The change would have
been an improvement, only that
there is no water to supply the sum-
nit level, except by pumping it up
from the ocean. Now a canal with
out water is not useful-hardly or
namental-and to pump water 15O
feet high to supply it would cost
more than the revenue of the canal.
Even on this changed plan, after
expanding more than three times
the original estimate, the canal is
not one-fifth completed. There are
other and serious objections to it,
and though better than the first
plan, Mr.. Macarthur still thought it
impracticable on account of the ex-
cessive cost of construction and
maintenance.

EGAs ON THE GREAT EXPOSURE,
His Opinion ON the Probable Effect Of the
Change in English Politics.

Change in English Politics.
CHCAGo. March 2.-Patrick Egap, who
was in the city yesterday. had his atten-
tion called to published statement Of DR..
McCahey Of Philadelphia, impsaching the
accuracy OF the London cablegram TO the
Associated Press on the day Of the ex-
posure OF Pigott's falsity. The statement
OF McCahey was to the effect that Egan
and Sullivan did not make the exposure;
that Father Dorney did not carry the
papers to London, but that they were
taken over by Mr.. Robertson.
Mr.. Egan declared the McCahey state
ment altogether wrong, and corroberated
the story given in the Associated Press
cablegram Of February 25th.
Mr.. Egan gave the reporter some
interesting gossip on
THE CHARACTER OF PIGoTT
and his methods OF raising money, etc.
When asked il he believed Pigott originated
the scheme or was hired to do it, Mr.. Egan
said:
II believe he concocted the whole plot
alone; but / also believe he sold the
Times people goods they wanted to buy.
The Times" did not expect to get into
the sort OF hearing that is now on. The
was that Parnell would bring
a libel suit in the ordinary way. Then he
would have had to 60 on the stand and
swear he never wrote the letters published.
The Times, would have been able after
ward to put experts on the stand to swear
the writing was that OF Parnelrs. In the
face OF such testimony
IAN ENGLISH JURY
would never have taken Parnell's word,
and would have given verdict against
him.
"What will be the probable course Of the
trial now7"
Il don't know; but do know that if
the Times chooses to continue the fight
we have two or three more surprises in
store. OF their character am not now at
liberty to speak,"
Mr.. Egan thinks the effect OF the collapse
on English politics will be tremendous,
and that, II an appeal is taken to the
country within the next six months, Glad
stone would 60 in Overwhelmingly. He
does not know whether or not an attempt
will be made to force an appeal to the
country; but he understand that Glad
stone favors waiting, as he believes the
cause is steadily gaining.

Missions Most Needs Investigating.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-Yesterday after
noon, Secretary Villas, sent to the Senate a
report from Gov. Swineford, OF Alaska,
upon the reported outrages upon women
in Alaska. His views upon the subject have
already been published.
Concerning the missionary work in Alaska,
the Governor says: II can but express tine
earnest hope that either the government
or the Board of Home Missions may be
able, very soon, to find . field far remote
from Alaska in which the peculiar talents
and altogether questionable methods OF the
Rev. DR.. Sheldon Jackson can be more
profitably employed"
The Governor further says that two or
three of the missionaries are responsible
for the vile slander upon the white people
OF Alaska which has been sent abroad
through the country, and recommends the
Presbyterian Board of Home Missions to
make thorough investigation OF the man
agement Of it's alaska stations.

After charging that. in spite OF declara-

IF, therefore, it shall be the policy of the
government to continue and aggravate, as
is proposed, this merciless system Of Gus

the adoption OF specific rates, than that
