The Nicaragua Canal Will Be
Pushed to COmpletion.

In pursuance of the charter granted bv
congress and under the terms of its contract
With the government of Nicaragua, the
Inter-Oceanic Canal company has begun the
construction OF the important waterway be-
tween the two oceans which its organization
contemplates. Grave compl cations for a
time seemed imminent in view of q sup

GOLDFISH AND CRIMINALS.
The Fisheries and Extradition
Questions Touch ID UpOn.

On the part Of the government of the Do
minion of Canada an effort has been apparent
during the season just ended to administer
the laws and regulations applicable to the
fisheries with as little occasion for friction as
was possible, and the temperate representa-
tons of this government in respect of cases
of undue hardship or Of harsh interpretations
have been in most cases met with measures of
uanSitOry relief. 1t is trusted that the attain
nent of our just rights under existing treaties
in virtue of the concurrent legislation of the
two contiguous countries will not be long de-
feTred. and that all existing causes of differ
ence may be eQuitably adjusted. l recon-
mend that provision be made by an interna-
uODal agreement for veribly marking the
water boundary between the United States
and Canada in the narrow channels that join
the great lakes The conventional line
therein traced by the northwestern
boundary survey years ago is not in
all cases readily 6scertainable for the
settlement of jurisdictional questions A
just and acceptable enlargement of the
list OF Otfenses for which eXtradition may be
claimed and granted is most desirable be-
tween this country and Great Britain. The
territory Of neither should become q secure
hGrbOr for the evil doers Of the other through
any avOidable shortcoming in this regard. A
new treaty on this subject between the two
powers has been recently negotiated and will
soon be laid before the senate. The presi-
dent thinks the commerce of Cuba and Porto
Rico with the United States may be expard-
ed Peru should pay its debts to Americans
Is well as TO foreign creditors. and Portugal
must settle for the seizure of the Delagan
Bay railroad built under a concession to an
American.

1T NEEDS REVISION.
That's About All the President
Saws Concerning the Tariff.

The president recommends a revision of
the tariff law. both in it's administrative feat
ures and in the Sc hedules. The need of the
former is generally conceded. and an agree
ment upon the evils and inconvenience to be
Femedied and the best methods for their cor
rection viii probably not be difficult. Uni
formity of valuation in all our ports is eS-
sential, and effective measures should be
taken to secure il. 1t is equally desirable
that questions affecting rates and classifi-
cations should be promptly decided. The
preparation of a new schedule of customs
duties is q matter of great delicacy, be-
cause Of its effect upon the business of
the country: of great difficulty, by reason
of the wide divergence of opinion as to the
objects that may G promoted by such legis
lation. Some disturbance of business may
perhaps result from the consideration of this
subject by congress, but this temporary i'll
effect viii be reduced to a minimum by
prompt action and the assurance which the
country enjoys that any necessary changes
will be soon made as not to impair the just
and reasonable protection of our home i'll
dustries. The inequalities of the law should
be adjusted, but the protective principle
should be maintained and fairly applied to
the products Of our farms as well as our
shops. These duties necessarily have rcla-
ton to other things besides the public reve-
nues We cannot limit their effects by fixing
our eyes on the public treasury alone. They
have q direct relation to home produc-
ton, 10 work, to wages and to the
commercial independence OF our cOun-
try, The wise and patriotic legislator
should enlarge The field of his vision to in
clude all of these. The necessary reduction
IN our public revenue can. l am sure, be
made without making the smaller burden
more onerous than the larger by reason of
the disabilities and limitations which the
process of reduction puts upon both capital
and labor. The free list can be very safely
extended by placing thereon articles that do
not offer injurious competition TO such do
nestle products as our home labor can sup
ply. The removal of the internal tax upon
tobacco would relieve an important agricul-
tural product from burden which was i'm
posed only because our revenue from Gus
toms duties was insufficient for the public
needs If safe provision against fraud can
be devised, the removal of the tax upon
spirits used in the arts and IN manufactures
would also offer an unobjectionable method
Of reducing the surplus.

PRE-EMPTIONS STILL GO.
The Omnibus Bill Did Not Repeal
the flaw

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 3. - Assistant
Attorney General Shields, of the interior
department. has given the secretary
of the interior an opinion as to
the effect of the seventeenth section of
the act admitting the new states which re-
fers to the act of 1871 Ohe original pre-
emption act), and repeats the same as to the
new states. He holds that taking the whole
section together the intent was not to res'eal
the pre-emption laws, but to make a
grant of lands in lien of the eighth
section of the act of 1841. generally
known as the internal improvement grant,
and TO repeal that section as to the new
states-that the act of 1S4l was carried into
the Revised Statutes and repeated in 1879
that if congress had intended to repeal the
presumption laws it could have done
SO by repeating the sections of
the Revised Sta utes appertaining thereto,
or by apt words so declrring. and not by a
repeal of the old act of al: and that the
pre-emption laws so contained in the re-
vised statutes, except as to the Internal i'm
provement grants, are still in force in the
new states.

NAGLE DID HIS DUTY,
Provision Should Be Made for the
Protection of Federal Officers.

Referring to the assault upon JusticeField,
Of the supreme court of the United States,
and the murder of Judge Terry by Deputy
Marshal Maggie. the president recommends
that more definite provisions be made by the
law, not only for the protection of federal
officers. but for full trial for such cases in
the United States courts. In recommending
such legislation do not at all impeach either
the general adequacy of the provision made
by the state laws for the protection of all
citizens or the general disposition of those
charged with the execution of such laws, to
give protection to the officers of the United
States. The necessity of providing some
more speedy method for disposing Of the
cases which now come for final adjudication
to The supreme court becomes every year
more apparent and urgent Without attempt
ng to discuss details, recommend that pro-
vision should be made for the establishment
of such courts. The salaries of the judges of
the district courts are, in my Judgment in.
ADEQUATE. recommend that all such salaries
now below 5000 per annum be increased
to that amount.

into separate reservations. Both were
approved on the same day. March
2. The one submitted to the Indians
specific proposition; the other (sec-
ton 3 of the Indian appropriation act)
authorized the president to appoint three
commissioners to negotiate with these In
dams for the accomplishment of the same
general purpose and required that any agree
ments made should DO submitted to congress
for ratification. The success of the Sioux
commission is dwelt upon. although Its re-
port has not yet reached the president. He
is advised that it is not necessary to submit
the agreement With the Sioux for the release
of their great reservations to the United
States to congress for ratification, but will
open the land 20 settlement by proclamation.
The work of the Cherokee commission, still
uncompleted, Is touched upon, as is the open
ing of Oklahoma to settlement. The cattle
syndicate now occupying the Cherokee strip
is held TO be responsible for the obstruction
of negotiations with the Cherokees.

The proposition to observe the 400th an

opening of worlds fair or exposition in

The improvement Of our important rivers

that the government is not committed to the
prosecution of works not of public and gen.

ness OF works of that class is not overlooked.
So far as this work can ever be said to be
completed do not doubt that the end would
be sooner and more economically reached if
fewer separate works were undertaken at the

begun. should not be subjected to the risk
