THE CANALS NEXT TEAR.

The State Engineer, as a result of recent
inspection of the canals of this State, has made
a number of suggestions which will doubtless
receive the attention which they deserve at
the hands of the Legislature of 1891. lie
states that the Black River Canal stands bad
ly in need of extensive repairs; that the work
of widening and deepening the Champain
Canal ought to be continued; and that the
trunk timber of the three great aqueducts on
the eastern division OF the Erie Canal ought to
be renewed On this 1.-The Buffalo Express
comments: ave trust that the members
elect of the Legislature will keep these facts
in mind till the canals come asking for an
appropriation. They are the opinion of civil
engineer, and not the views of boatman, "a
scalper or a politician"
Mr.. Bogart, the State Engineer, is generally
recognized as a thoroughly trustworthy and
intelligent official, 80 that his recommendations
cannot fail to carry great weight with the
Legislature. 1t is to be said, however, that
there is no danger that our lawmakers will not
pursue liberal policy toward the canals. No;
the danger is in the other direction. In 1889
$500, 900 was appropriated Tor Iengthening
locks, $500, 900 for operating expenses, $685.
$50 for interest OIL the canal debt, and S47O,-
1863 for dams, locks. bridges, walls, ETC., and
to meet the canal awards OF the Board OF
Claims. Here we have grand total of
S2,242 1888 appropriated at single session.
IL all the canal bills which were introduced in
the Legislature of 1890 had become law the
sum total of their combined draft upon the
treasury would have been over $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Pearss!l, of Chenango, in his speech in
opposition to one of the pending Canal bills
presented q table of statistics from which II
appeared that since 1880 the cost of repairing,
improving and maintaining the canals has been

that our kentucky contemporary has had ample
,ime TO recover from the first wild delirum OF
ioy But it is painfully evident that it has not
recovered that the sober second thought
using "sober' in no invidious sense, but as
oouiyaIent to conservatiyc-is not to its taste.
OF course, a good deal is to be pardoncd to an
ardent partisan engaged in celebrating one OF
the big successes Of his party. No one expects
him to coniine his ordinations of gratitude
within the limits OF moderate speech Extrava-
can't adiectiyes and substantives and other
parts of speech are quite pardonable. All the
same. growing can be overdone, especially crow
ing three weeks after the event; and when
"The Courier-Journal" pauses in its crimson
nanting of the town to raise the wild yell that
/" all the Republican victories for fifteen years
have been thefts," it demonstrates that 1T can
not stand political prosperity. And since the
editor Of that newspaper is one of the foremost
leaders of the Democratic party, there is reason
TO apprehend that the party's policy as ma
iority may not be marked by conservatism.
1t is not worth while to discuss the charge
that Republican victories for fifteen years have
been thefts. In fact, it is not considered quite
fair to take man. to task for what he says
while the victim OF some unusual and excessive
excitement. With equal proprety "The Cour-
ier-Journal" might have asserted that for fif-
teen years the Democracy has been Prohibi-
ton movement with headquarters in Kentucky.
But there is one count in this indictment which
the Tammany Democrats of this town will find
interesting" Hancock was betrayed out OF his
election" Who betrayed him, if he was be-
trsyedp OF course, the Republicans could not
have done so, since they were his open and
avowed opponents. Was Tammany the guilty
party? One of the Oldest and most influential
of the Democratic newspapers of this State has
fatty accused Tammany of that high party
crime. Does "The Courier Journal" agree that
Tammany was the betrayer OF Hancock? II
our contemporary replies that the entire article
from which we have quoted was written in an
hour of full-blown hilarity while it was en-
cOring the work done by its party friends on
November 4, that will be sufficient. In that
event we promise not to press the Hancock
question.

JOY has been unconfned in Democratic
circles ever since the result OF the recent cleo
tons was announced. 1t is only natural that
this should be So the Democratic party having
scored great victory at the November polls
1t remains TO be seen, however, whether ON

after the first flush of victory was over would
be toward conservatism.

One other point The welfare OF this great
Commonwealth demands that the canals shall
be maintained in O condition of the highest

dition may become, they will not promote the
greatest good of the greatest number OF those
directly interested in them, unless some means
are devised of protecting the boatmen from
the scalpers and other extortioners who now
prey upon them. Year after year at the close
of navigation on being asked what sort OF u
season they have had the boatmen make the
same answer. They complain that their bust
ness seriously suffers because of the greed OF
a ring existing at Buffalo. Perhaps "The Ex-
press" will say whether or not it believes that
the boatmcn are fairly treated at its end OF the
canal The opinion is growing that the ring
spoken of is fourishing and that the canal
svston has few worse enemies.

the highroads leading to the city they do not

of these crimes are unreported, as the loss is

this morning Apparently, the Democratic con-
sniracy is doomed to complete and inglorous
failure. One element in the complication was
simplified yesterday by the resignation OF
George A. Dickey, clerk OF the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes. which leaves the way clear Tor the
election of Republican clerk at the opening
Of the special session of the Legislature.
The interest felt by the Chamber OF Com
merce in the schoolship st. Mary's is easily
understood. The ST. Mary's has been Tor
number of years under the control OF the Board
Of Education, but almost of necessity 1t is side
issue with the members of that Board, whose
main attention is properly devoted to the public
schools The suggested transfer OF the schooi-
shin to the control of the Chamber OF Commerce
seems. therefore, an excellent way to increase
the usefulness OF this nautical school. 1t is
also proposed to make it State institution, and
to admit TO it's privileges pupils from all parts
of the State. The Board OF Education would
gladly surrender The charge, and the Chamber
of Commerce seems anxious to assume 1T.

A Darky,s Faith in Miracles.

In GAINESVILLE, Ohio, there are many

other light work. They are for the most
part an orderly and quiet people, many
Of them religious, having a church of
their own and a minister, of all of which
they are Justly proud. One cold even
ing in the time of great revival in this
church this preacher was delivering n
powerful appeal on faith, the groAns
and sobs of his hearers giving token of
his effect upon their irrepressible nat
ures. The tears stood upon his own dark
cheeks, his voice quivered like distant
thunder. while lie emphasized his words
by vigorous blows upon the table. In the
midst of all this the stove. agitated by
his jarrin0 blows, rolled over on the floor.
Brother Lewis. the head man in the
church, had located himself near the
comforter of shins. He stood irueso-
lutte when the voice Of the minister came
to him laden with faith: Pick up de
stobe, Brudder Lewis-pick up de stobe;
de Lord won't let it burn you'll" Brother
Lewis mind was filed with miracles of
faith he had heard that evening, so he
yielded to the appeal of the preacher,
