THEY STILL HAVE HOPES.

The unfortunate investors in the Panama
Company still have hopes that the Govern
ment will complete the canal 1t is said
that fourteen different groups of stock and
bond holders have brought influence to bear
upon the French Government or the Credit
Foncier TO induce the Government to fur
nish capital TO 90 on with the work. When
De Lesseps was in this country soliciting
subscriptions to the stock of the Panama
Canal Company be was informed that the
company would be allowed to proceed only
as private enterprise. The Government
of the United States, he was informed,
would never permit a canal to be cut
through the Panama or other American
isthmus by a European Government. 1t
was urged at the lime that even if the canal
should be constructed as private enterprise
embarrassing questions might arise between
the French and the American Governments
should the French investors have occasion,
as they probably would, to ask the protec-
tion of their Government for the capital in
vested. There is so little prospect that the
French Government will revive the enter
prise that further protest may not be neces-
sary. But the reason why the American
Government would not consent to the con-
struction of the canal when De Lesseps
was supposed to be reasonably certain of
success exists in full force at the present
time. 1t is quite likely that these reported
movements among Panama stockholders
have no other purpose than TO appease the
men and women who were swindled by
false representations. De Lesseps himself
Is living in Paris in fine style, and the spec
tacle of his carriage on the boulevards is
said to be exasperatiDg to people who lost
their all through his fanciful accounts of the
progress of the work. While it is probable
that De Lesseps believed his own stories,
the fact is only partially coDsolng to people
who were deceived by them.

QUE EX-PREsIDENTs.

When President Harrison was toasted at
Sandwich, Mass, ex-President Cleveland
rose to his feet and waved his handkerchief.
This act may be considered the expression
Of personal good will. 1t is good politics to
speak well Of an opponent when that oppo-
nent is citizen Of good general character.
Measures are at best so much matter of
opinion that one man need not cherish re-
sentiment against another because of diff
ference Of opinion. Mr.. Cleveland will lose
nothing in his own party by showing that
he has no personal feeling against his late
successful opponent. with the exception of
the Harrison episode, the Cleveland recep-
ton at Sandwich was pretty strictly
business. The Democratic Governor of
NJ massachusetts, eulogized Mr.. CleVelands
administration, making his silver policy
feature for especial commentator. MAS
sachusetts," said Governor Russell, "be-
lieyes in sound currency. and will not lend
her aid 10 any movement, however honest
IN It's purpose, which would result in the
1ebasement Of the currency, the unsettling
OF credit or the impairment OF values" In
the account of the proceedings that was re-
ceived on this Coast the reference of Gov
srnor Russell to Mr.. Cleveland's silver
policy did not elicit response. Mr.. Cleve-
land preferred TO talk about the relation of
An ex-Presldent to the people. Without
exactly defining what these relations should
be, Mr.. Cleveland minated what they
should not be. He did not think that ex-
Presidents should be utilized as orators at
county fairs, nor be suspected of plotting
for their own personal advancement They
should be allowed to attend to their own
business like other men, subject TO the
rules OF behavior imposed upon ordinary
cltlzens. There are two ex-Presidents of
The United States now living whose expert
ences In retirement form marked contrast.
Ex-President hayes life realizes the pic
ture that Mr.. Cleveland drew of an ex-
Presidents ideal existence. MIR. HAYES
mIngies with his fellow-citizens upon terms
of absolute equality. He is not called upon
TO make more speeches than any other man
who can talk iDtelligently to an audience.
No one suspects him of plotting for his
own political advancement. He is neither
neglected nor embarrassed with public atten-
tions. His life as an ex-President shows
what an ex-President may become if he alb
bolutely withdraws from politics. Mr.

A Free Tin Around the world

A man who has tried it gives these point

AN INCOME TAX.

The plank in the Ohio Democratic plat
form which demands a graded income tax
is being severely handled by Democratic
newspapers in other States. The New
York san declares q plank opposing " all
class legislation aud another fayoring an
income tax giaring Inconsistency. An in
come tax is, in fact, most palpable form
OF class legislation. To begin with, but

when an income tax was levied as a war
measure about one man in thirty paid it.
Probably a majority did not possess in
crmes that would raise them into the in
cume-payiug class, and certainly a good
many who properly belonged TO that class

income really is. In many cases men do
not know themselves. They have personal
expenditures which would not be incurred
except for an idea that business was built
up partially by such means. Where to draw
the line between such expenses as a sub
scriptlon 10 4 charity, pew in fashion,
able church, OF expensive social entertain
ments and such other items as rent clerk
hire and advertising, might puzzle a man of
the best intentions. The law Of course

class if any, to which he belongs. The
Democrats prefer this tax on success in
business TO tax on foreign goods brought
into the country. They intend to cut the
duties down and to swell the revenues by
making msu' who have succeeded in bust

Why His Sentence Was satisfaet.rv

A man charged with robbing stage-coach
in a remote county of Kentucky was brought
to trial the other day, and. although he had
numerous friends, was sentenced to the
penitentiary for term of ninety-nine years,

Battle Between a Golden Eagle and a
Monster Hawk.

Battle Between a Golden Eagle and a
Monster Hawk.
The trout-fShing season is only few
days old and yet &. A Sheets of Ouigley-
vile, has had an experience that a whole
summer does not often deyelop. Last
Wednesday morning MI Sheets rugged
himself out for days sport and started
for one OF the babbllng brooks that the
trout delight to haunt. While passing Coat
Mountain, in the vicinity of COgan Station,
his attention was attracted by commotion
some distance ahead. AS he drew nearer
he observed two immense birds engaged in
combat, So intent were the combatants
with the battle they apparently paid no at
tention to Mr.. Sheets, who was thus enabled
to draw near.
Prompted by curiosity at the strange
battle the spectator hid behind tree and
looked on with amazement He soon real
lzed That the scene was unusual as well as
novel, for one of the birds was an immense
golden eagle, while the other was a large
hawk. 1t was battle for life or death.
and while the hillSideS re-echocd with the
screams OF the birds, and the feathers were
flying. Mr. Sheets could no longer contain
himself, especially as the birds flopped
around close to where he was standing He
Sprang from his place of concealment and
laid hold of the eagle, which had its talOns
so firmly Embedded in the flesh of the hawk
as to be unable to eXtricate itself. He soon
succeeded in subduug the bird and making
II captive. In the meantime the hawk died.
Mr.. Sheets succeeded in carrying both
birds home with him. and in the presence of
several of his neighbors made an examina-
ton of them. The eagle was found to
measure feet inch from tip to tip of its
wings, and feet from lead to tail Its
talons were inches in length. The hawk
measured feet 4 inches from tip to tip of
its wings, and was correspondingly large.
The eagle was cared for and on Saturday
was reported to have fully recovered from
the effects OF tn fight. and gave indication of
becoming qnite lame. 1t was ravenous, and
ate freely OF the food furnished it by its
captor. MI. Sheets is very proud of the bird,
which is very rare in these parts.-Jersey

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Russa's military activity is In great measure
due to the Zeal OF General Wannowsky the Min
lister OF War. II is said that to hts efforts are due
the persistent construction OF strategcaI rail-
ways in the western provinces, the massing of
troops on the frontier and the construction OF a
great girdle OF Notifications TO guard against in

NOT only has fiattering progress been made ID

results have been attained in The manufacture nj
projectiles- A recent test of American armor-
piercing proieetiies with some of the Holtzer
shells from France resulted so favorably that
the Secretary of the Navy has decided to supply
all the new cruisers with projectiIes made In
this country.
France is Inclined to look on the alliance "to
preserve the peace OF Europe as a compliment
paid TO her present military strength. As the
Republlque FrancaIse says: When we see that all
these alliances are made against us, and us only
our pride becomes all the greater. and we have
only salute of gratitude for those who DO US so
much honor. In silence, therefore, we pursue
our coui Sc with as much confidence in the Justice
oil our cause as in the strength OF our army"
The fact that the naval battalion has come TO
stay, that it is destined 10 become a powerful
adjunct OF the navy, and one of The strongest
elements in the coast defense system OF the
country, and in point Of cost The most economi-.
cal, causes The New York Mail and Express TO
suggest that instead OF condemniHg and selling

they be set apart for gunnery ships. In the
course OF time, however. vessels constructed for
harbor defense purposes Will be utilized by the
