The Panama Canal Again.
Washington Post.l

WASHINGTON I oal.l
In his report 10 the liquidator Of the Panama
Canal Company, which has Just been made
public In Paris, Lieutenant Wyse. who is said
70 have succeeded in negotiating further con-
cessions from the Colombian government, ex-
presses the belief that the canal can be COM
pleted in five years at a maximum cost OF
sl2O O00. 900. and that in ten years 1t can be
made dividend-paying property, besides en-
aiding a sinking fund for the gradual reim-
bursement OF the old shareholders.
The bonus. franchises. or in whatever form
the Colombian concessions are made. will. of
course. possess no value excepting upon guar
antees that the construction of the canal will
be prosecuted TO completion. 1t remains To
be seen whether Lieutenant Wyse can succeed
in securing the requisite capital. So much
money has been sunk In what has come to be
known as de Lesseps big ditch" that 1t Will
probably be difficult 20 revive enthusiasm IN
the project among the French people. al
though the report Is thought 10 offer favor
able basis for renewal of operations.

pha. for an absolute divorce from Greer

woman Of twenty-six years, said she married
Kendrick December 2, 1885, and they subse,,

her husband had an apartment IN forty-thlrd

wife. A servant corroborated the latter state
ment. As the family who then rented the
house in Forty-third street had moved to Bal
timore. the Judge adjourned the case until
evidence can be had

In order to accomplish their own selfish

They are willing 10 give the colored man
every political opportunity with themselves,
so long as he keeps on his own side or the
fence, personally, and does not insist upon
taking a controlling interest IN the selection

tion and the enforcement of the laws. In
other words. it is simply the univer,-

in little while of all those who
go there. that for several generations at least
the black man must be content 10 take back

Our New Cruisers.

II is evident that Secretary Tracy has given
the British naval authorities something If a
fright by his bold assertions about the powers
of our newest war vessels. Hitherto Great
Britain has worried over the possibilities Of
the French navy. and only within the last few
months has it found fresh source OF anxiety
in our cruisers Now we find some Of the
experts comparing the Barfeur with the
New York, and concluding that the
latter is the more effective vessel. while
the triple screw cruiser, No u, bearing
the ominous nickname of the Pirate
till duly christened. is special source Of alarm.
That she will outrun tho Blake il thought by
some 10 be certain, and the only open ques-
ton is whether she could catch the City of
Paris and the Teutonic. SO remarkable have
been the trial trips Of vessels like the Charles
ton. Baltimore. Philadelphia, San Francisco,
Newark and Bennington. surprising their ex-
pected speed. that the force draught perform
ances of the New York and No. II are likely
enough TO show them to be the best in the
world Of their respective classes.
There is at last an American navy.

The truth is a Boston man wants something

Political Gratitude.
IPhiladelphia Record.l

The Republican politicians put the ballot in
the fats OF the Southern freedmen in the be-
lief that il would perpetuate their power in the
Government How little dependence is to be
placed in political gratitude Is witnessed in the
fact that from the whole South there are but
three Republican Representatives and one Re
publican Senator in the next Congress.
The Republican politicians have been dis
appointed also in their little experiment
with woman suffrage in Kansas. In
the recent municipal elections in that State
the women-the Prohibition women. the
wives and daughters of prominent Republi-
can politicians turned the scale in favor Of
tempt to explain the phenomenon. 1t is
enough for the present to record il: but it is
evident that little reliance can be placed upon
political gratitude as a factor in elections.

tends 10 all items. For the past nine months
the collections have been greater by more
than seven million dollars than for the CORE
spending period of the preceding year, and
spirits. fermented liquors, tobacco and cleo
margarine have all contributed TO the in

The TIMES to begin. at an early date, a series
of special editions, devoted to advertising and
promoting the business, commerce and gem

present the trade of the city, present and
prospective. its manufacturing enterprises,
its business opportunities, and its advantages
as place of residence-in short. everything
pertaining to the material importance and
substantial prosperity of the city.
That their idea meets with the hearty ap-
proyal of our business men is shown by the
following letter from the Committee on Ad-
yertising Of the Chamber Of Commerce.

MRs. BELvA LOCKWOOD has decided that
marriage is not failure She does not pro-
fess to have arrived at this conclusion from
her individual experience. but from what she
has seen in other cases. For instance, she
notes the fact that all the Presidents of the
United States, except Buchanan, were mar
ried, and she maintains that President Cleve-
lands marriage was the best part of his
administration
The TINES is not willing TO admit, with
ont qualification. this last assertion of Mrs.
Belvs Lockwood; but she certainly shows
that in approving of Mr.. Cleveland's mar
mage she is a woman of taste, and all the
country will agree that when he won Miss
Folsom as his bride. "Cleveland's luck" was

a correspondent sends from Michigan
true story of farmers dog who has
been found guilty of obtaining goods
under false pretenses.
He is extremely fond of sausages, and
has been taught by his owner to go
after them for himself, carrying a writ
ten order in his mouth.
Day after day he appeared at the
butchers shop, bringing his masters
order, and by and by the butcher be-
came careless about reading the docu-
ment Finally, when settlement day
came, the farmer complained that he
was charged with more sausages than
he had ordered.
The butcher was surprised and the
next time Lion came in with a slip of
paper between his teeth he took the
trouble to look at it. The paper was
blank, and further investigations
showed that whenever the dog felt a
craving for sausage he looked round
for piece of paper and trotted off to
the butchers.
The farmer is something out of
pocket, but squares the account by
Boosting of his dogs intelligence.
