Work is being vigorously pushed or
the Nicaragua canal The large plant
used by Slaven, of San Francisco, on the
Panama canal, has been purchased, and
a new set of powerful dredges have been
contracted for in Scotland. Meantime
work has been carried on at the mouth
of the San Carlos River, the depth oil
which, at the mouth, is said TO have
been doubled already. At the rate that
work is being advanced, vessels will
pass through the caual before 1895, il

The Election.

McComas and Mudd are both defeated
and the State sends solid Democratic
delegation to Congress for the first time
in many years. The returns from the
State are anything but encouraging
to Republicans for they have met reg
ular Waterloo in Maryland. The re-
turns from Southern Maryland shows
that while Mr.. Mudd gained in Charles,
his native county. he lost 10 Calvert,
St. Mary's, Prince Georges and Anne
Arundel. Even had he obtained the
same number Of votes in these counties
that he received two years ago, he could
not have overcome the increased major
ity obtained by Compton in Howard
aud Baltimore counties and in the Sew
enteedth ward Of Baltimore city. Mr..
Mud is beaten by about 1000 IN jority
The greatest surprise to Maryland Re-
publlcans was the defeat OF Mr.. Nc
Comas in the Sixth District. The
cause of bis defeat, was largely owing
tie misunderstanding and misrepresenta-
.ion on account of the Mckinley tariff
bill aud the Federal election bills. the
passage of which he earnestly advoca-
ted. While the election has been far
ftom satisfactory to Republicans, they
gather from the returns, that owing to
factiona strife full vote was not polled
in many sections of the State. They
have the consolation to know that with
united party they can carry this and the
Sixth Congressional District at future
elections if factional differences are
he.lcd.

>. Pete McCourtney, ouee. o., ,l,s most IA
nous counterfeiters in the United States
died in the Ohio penitcntiary few
days since. When he died he was serv-
ing tau years sentence for passing
counterS.it money in New Orleans in
1888. NcCourtney was an educ,ted
man. anA had made thorough study of
the art Of engraving and its application to
criminal ends. His most successful work
was on government bonds, and he once
made $4,000 United States bond so
perfect that it was actually redeemed at
the treasury, and the holder of the gen
uine was later arrested aad charged
with counterfeiting.

victor, Will Follow Defeat.

From the time Of Jefferson to lin
coin the opposition generally won in an
off year in this country The same
rule has worked occasionally since Lin
coins time. Especially has this been
true after season of positive legislation
When the Democrats appealed to the
country in 1888 on the Mills bill and
the Cleveland free-tradc message they
were defeated, This year the Republi-
cans have controlled an unprecedented
session of legislation, with results that
no Congress has ever surpassed They
have had to defend this record against
an unexampled opposition of Democratic
gerrymauderhg and misrepresentation
They have fought their fight, and the
Democrats have elected majority
in the next Congress.
1t is really the very best thing that
could have happened for the Republi-
cans. Nothing encourages them so
much as an occasional set back And
rs this takes plac, in an of-year it
means in 1892 the greatest Republican
victory for years, and the continuation
pf Republican control of the government
The Republican who is .discouraged this
morning don't know politics
Look at the silver lining to the
clouds Ohio gives a splendid Republi
can victory. Other States show excel
lent results, AMI altogether we can view
the returns with eminent satisfaction -
They might be better; but they might
be forty times worse.
A Democratic House for two
years while held responsible will
be able to do nothing mischievous
in the way of legislation, except to
block good measures; and the Republi-
cans will be on hand 1892 with MAORI
ties in all parts of the legislative and
execu i've branches of the government

over their so-called victory. Thinking
people, however, look at the political
change in an entirely different light. :
The Farmers Alliance is entitled to
more credit for the wonderful Waterloo
than the Bourbon Democracy. The
Alliance is showing progressive that is
marvellous, and the victory the organl-
zation has achieved, by electiug so many
of its representatives to Congress, proves
conclusively that with perfect unity it
can make itself felt in national politics,
and thus practically protect and promote
thc interests of the farming community.
The organization of this county, where
II is larger aud stronger than elsewhere
m the State. can be congratulated upon
It's first national political success, and
San find in the victory sufficient encour-
agement to keep pace with progress and
nominate local ticket of its own next
fall.
