The Nicaragua Canal.

Mr.. A. M. Wellington, G. E., one Of
the editors of the Engineering News,
speaks in very emphatic terms about
the Nicaragua Canal. A member OF
the News staff, Mr.. Stauffer, has made
personal investigation of the route
OF the canal, and both he and Mr.
wellington are satisfied that it is a,
feasible and promising project.
'"The great trouble with the Panama
Canal of De Lesseps," said Mr.. Well
ington to me aside from the enor-
nous amount of work involved in cut
ting through the mountain for tide
level canal, was the difficulty of con-
trolling the Chagres River. A three
hours storm transfers it into raging
torrent, which has time and again
done untold damage to the works.
The canal will probably never be fin
ished, even with locks, now that the
American enterprise is progressing so
favorably. The Nicaragua River, you
know, is not subject to floods The
enormous reserv DIR to equalize it's flow.
1t is like the St. Lawrence in this re-
spect. The work of constructing O.,
canal along it's channel will be very
simple. The entire route has now been
very thoroughly surveyed.
"Another advantage the Nicaragua
route possesses is it's climate, which is
by no means unhealthful, except, per-
haps, in midsummer"
Theory.
Theory is a. word which has great
terrors for some, but it should not
have, for theory is only another name
for speculation. The very men who
abhor theory, as a term, often the
orize the most. It is because the
name is SO frequently misapplied that
men are afraid of it. Theory is sup
posed to be something which a practi-
cal man, so called, detests; but the
practical man, OF all others, uses it the
most in daily work. He can not see
the actual cause of the grunting in the
cylinder, but he forms a theory as to-
what it is, and soon finds theremedy.
Would that we could test all theories
as promptly! Students and others.
theorize, or speculate in their re-
searches upon the cause of cylinder
condensation, but they can not put,
them to conclusive tests. Some men
are called theorists, in distinction to
practical men. We are all theor-
lists in daily work when we can not;
obtain positive proof. Where we cam
not see with our eyes and touch With
our hands, we must speculate, comes
ture; build on slight foundation of
fact a superstructure OF possibilities
which may stand or may tumble
down. 1t seldom does this last if the
speculator is we'll grounded in practical
work

The Printing Of Wall Papers,.

In machine printing the plain paper
arrives at the factories in great rolls,
OF various qualities to suit the differ
ent purposes and prices for which it is
required. These long rolls are useful
Tor machine work, which is not cut
into lengths until after it has beezs
printed. In hand work, on the con-
trary, the rolls are cut into eight-yard
lengths the first thing. The paper is
grounded with one coat of color. al
though sometimes two coats are Civ
en-. The cylinders are fitted with
scrupulous exactness. The paper
then enters the machine, taking up
one color after another. as it passes
around the great drum; entering the
machine as plain paper it passes out
embellished with a pattern OF many
colors, Then, by a species OF aerial
railway, it is carried up and over ele-
waited rods continually moving until.
at the very end of the factory it is
rolled up dry into ordinary ron
lengths. -

"A petition is being circulated throughout
tho county, praying our county commissioners
to offer $1,000 for the arrest aud conviction of
tho murderer Of Joseph Shaw. This is move
in the right direction, and should the commiss-
toner's grant the prayer Of the petition, it
should receive the hearty coinmcndation OF
every citizen Of the county. No murderer
should be allowed to escape justice in our
county, as tho laxity of the law in that respect
would emboldcn others to do the same deed,
and after while no one would fcel safe, and
besides letting criminals escape justice SO
richly merited, would give our county very
unsavory and unenviable name. We hope
that tho petition may be acted upon by the

The Ieailroud Com a,afssioncrs.

The Board Of Railroad Commissioners ar
rived in this city yesterday evening, as pc ad-
vcrtisemcnt. The party consisted of comm;ss-
ioners 1J'ash, Harmon and Slotten, together
with their secretary, Mr.. Edgerly. The party
came in on a special train furnished by the
Grea: Northern Line, ard was accompanied
by Division Superintendent jerks, who did the
honors OF the road. Mrs. Harmon aud Mrs.
Walsh were also in the party.
The Commissioners were net by a commit.
.ee Of citizens, Mcssrs Wallace, Lure, Wain-
berg and HEaseu, who first conducted them
up the railroad track, and showed them tho
side track Cor, rather lack of side track) and
the great FARMERS elevator" This was done
that tie gentlemen might see for themselves
that our side track accommodations were very
limited and were not adequate for The business
transacted by the road here, and for the ac-
commodation Of the farmers and other ship
pers at this point, ard also to show that the
loading platform, as it is, is practically useless
to farmers in loading wheat.
The committee next conducted the party to
the Hope House, whero supper had been pre-
pared. After supper they adjourned to the
Arcade ball, where an open meeting was held.
Mr.. Wallace, on behalf Of the citizens, present
oil our case to the board. In carefully pre-
pared document he stated to the commissioners
first, our poor train service, stating how
passengers for the Hope line were compelled
to wait at both Breckenridge and Everest an
indefinite length of time when on their way
up the line, and also the poor accommodations
given passengers on the road. Second, the
exc cessire]y high freight rate to which we, in
the state, are subjected was cited, very briefly.
Third, the very poor accommodations had at
this station in the way Of side track aud load
ing facilities.
To back up The justice Of our appeals for
better accommodations all around, Mr.. Wal
lace read very carefully prepared statement
of the business done by the company at this
station, which statement had been compiled
by the citizens committee.
The commissioners were very attentive and
courteous throughout the presentation of the
statements, ard at the completion Of the clta-
tion, Mr.. Walsh, the chairman, on behalf of
the board, in neat speech assured the clti-
| zens that the matters presented to them would
| receive their earnest attention, and that they
would do all in their power to help us out in
what was asked by them.
The meeting adjourned at about Q O'Clock,
p. III. and tho gentlemen were escorted to the
train by a number Of citizens, departing at
about $50 o'clock.
They arc very pleasant gentlemen, and their
visit 10 our city was very much enjoyed by our
citizens, and We are confident that much good
! will result to US from their visit.
