with shoe gear. Railroad Detective H. H.

found on his person, and he made a full
confession eff his misdeeds.

The great Humboldt sink in Nevada is
a good example of these depressions, and
more desolate, dreary region it is diff

as from a distance one appears approach
ing vast hole in the earth. The country
has 2 weird appearance, and one can well
imagine almost anything. There is
something uncanny about the place. as a
river runs into it and disappears, so the
Indians think-in short, sinks, and that Is
the end of it. Where it goes they do not
care or think. but it flows into this region
and stops, and of course there Is something
very mysterious about it.
The Indians will tell YOU that the sink
has no bottom, and 1t Is true enough that
the actual bottom has not been discovered.
A vast deposit of mud. the accumulation of
centuries, lies here, and will probably in
time FIJI up the sink so that water will not

east Is still another that was in all proba-

question is certainly one of peculiar inter

A Belief That He viii Recommend Re
vision-Mr. BIaine's Views.

visiOn-Mr. Blaine's Views.
New YoRK-A Washington special to
the Post says:
at is widely believed here that the
president will recommend in his message
some decided notifications of the existing
tariff From remarks he has let drop it
is inferred that he realizes the party ex-
pediency of such course, and the two
members Of his cabinet whose counsels
would be most likely to influence him are Of
the same mind Secretary Windom's
northwestern education fits him to favor
revision, while Secretary Blaine has,
within few days, expressed himself de
cidedly In the hope that congress will take
up the question at once and dispose Of it.
The question was brought up by an in
quiry as to Representative Lodges scheme
for federal election law in the south.
Secretary Blaine answered that this was
not the time to raise such an issue before
the country what the people expect of
congress, he added, is to defer all other
general legislation till the tariff question
is put out of the way. As long as that
hangs over its head it can hope to DO
nothing satisfactory in other lines. 1t
would be the wisest stroke of policy for
the republicans in both houses to unite, as
soon as congress convenes, upon a bill
designed to meet the popular demand for
tariff revision without disturbing the well
fare IF any established American industry.
Other matters, however interesting and
important, can afford to wait till this one
is adjusted; for, with the people once
satisfied that the republican party has
made its promises on this head in good
faith, they will give il all the heartier
support in any enterprise it undertakes

THE BIG DITCH DIGGERs.

failure of the Panama canal scheme
in diverting attention from similar pro-
jects in Europe. Germany is engaged in
making exhaustive inquiry into canal dig
cling in this country, with view to the
construction of great internal waterways
The Italian government has under conSid-
GRAFTON and will probably adopt plans sub
mitted by one of its most eminent engi-
neers for the construction of a canal $50
miles long, $50 feet wide and 80 feet deep
extending from Faro to Monalto di Castro
The cost is estimated a S120, 100000. and
1t is computed that It's construction would
give employment to 100000 workmen for
six years 1t is claimed that about $50
square miles Of fertile land would be re-
deemed by the canal; that it would render
the navy much more available. and that
it would be in many ways of great
economical and political value to Italy
The project of a canal from Lake One
ga to the White Sea. which was discussed
twenty years ago in Russia, has been re-
vived, and the probability is strong that it
will be carried forward at an early day
The cost would be less than eight million
dollars, and its Importance in stimulating
internal trade cannot be over estimated.
1t would open vast reach of country
rich in timber and minerals, which has re-
manned undeveloped Among other canals
now being talked of in Europe, is one
across the English midlands to the sea, one
from Edinburgh to Glasgow, from the Bay
ofBiscay to the Mediterranean and one from
the English Channel to Paris. America,
with the Panama failure ON its hands and
the Nicaragua canal in prospect, not to
speak of the Hennepin and smaller affairs,
has plenty of sympathy IN the work of Dig

ON THEIR DIGNITY.
Negroes to Organize League for Their
Own Benefit.

DETROIT, Michigan = The Plain
dealer, of this city, the leading organ of
the colored race, says a movement is on
foot looking toward the establishment of
a National American league, non-par-
tisan in politics. The paper prints contri-
buttons from several leading colored
men approving the scheme. John
R. Lynch thinks the present status Of the
race makes the formation of the league a
public necessity. There is also an opin-
ion from Albion w Tourgee, who thinks
the time has come for the colored race to
show itself worthy of liberty, and that
earnest, intelligent action will do much to
cure the evils which now effect the race.
