charge on the commerce Of the world, would
cost ST., $4,000 more in one way than in the
other.
The estimates which have been published
of the probable income of the canal are
nothing but guesses. The tonnage which
passed through the SueZ Canal in 1883
amounted to 6.7S3,000 tons. NJ Leroy
Beaulieu, the editor of the Economists
Francois. who has made inter0eeanic canals
a special study, figured that the tonnage
Which an isthmian canal might count upon
would be 4, 500,0 600 tons. If it should be set
tied that the toll is to be 81 80 aeton, this
would give, on total tonnage of 1850, coo
tons, q gross income of 81, 100000 The
working expenses of the Suez Canal in 1889
were S1,200,000. Allowing for the volcanic
character of the country which Nicaragua
canal would traverse, 1t might be safe TO
figure the orking expenses of the latter at
twice the sum expended by the managers Of
the Suez enterprise. or say 81, 100000 year.
Deductng this from the S11, 250, 900 gross in
come, we find that the canal may earn net
income of SIS, S5O,OO0 which would leave a
small sum available for dividends on the
stock after paying per cent on 1925, 100000
of bonds. These estimates, however, are
proverbially unreliable. Something unex-
pected always happens to add to the cost of
projected undertakings and to diminish their
profits.
Still thelprOmoters of the Nicaragua Canal
will run little risk if they spend the coming
year in work rather than ideness, and bor-
row the money they need by sale or pledge
of their bonds. In the bill which nearly be-
came law at the session which has just eX-
pired provision was made 10 repay the COM
pany for the OUTLAWS it has made. They
viii probably be as well cared for in any
future bill. The object of the United States
in fostering the enterprise is not to make
money. but to get the canal built, so as to
shorten the distance between its Atlantic
and its Pacific ports, and to enable it, in
ease of war, to throw feet from the At
lantic to the Pacific in three weeks Instead
of three months, as at present
If the present year is allowed to go to
waste the opening of the canal will be
postponed by twelve months or more and
the frution of the hopes of the promoters
will be put off just so lorg. By continuing
the work, in anticipation of Congressional
action next winter. they will shorten the
delay which separates them from their
object.

GO ON wITn THE CANAL.

The Nicaragua Canal Bill failed to be-
mainly from want of time. 1t is believed
that it would have commanded majority
vote in both Houses, though it was opposed
by Senator Stewart of Nevada and other
cranks; but the pressure of appropriation
bills was such that it was showed to one side.
Another year must now elapse before the
bill can be taken up and placed on the
Statute-b0Ok.
In the meantime the company, which was
chartered two years ago. may go on with the
work If il pleases, raising money by the sale
of bonds. 1t is pretty well understood that
the canal will cost In round figures 500. 000,-
900. If this sum is to be raised by the sale
of the company's bonds, they will have to
bear something like 5 per cent, and it is
doubtful whether they could be marketed in
blocks above 80 cents on the dollar; thus for
every million in money obtained by the
company 1t would have to issue something
like S1.250, 900 in bonds, and for the whole
Sl00,000,e00 required 1t would have to put
out S125, 100000 in bonds. These at per
cent would call for Sc, $50, 600 for annual in
terest. Ii, on the other hand, the United
States Endorsed the bonds, they could be sold
at par. though they only bore per cent in
terest, and an annual charge of 100000
would provide for the sem-aunual coupons.
Capitalizing the difference between this sum
and the Sc, 100000 annual charge for which
the company would have to provide in case
its bonds were unindorsed, say at per
cent, the enterprise, which would be q

II rs OWN DEFENSE,

The Ergaliaer printed a column editorial
Saturday in its own defense. Assemblyman
Bruner had charged that the Sacramento
correspondent of the Examiner had at
tempted to blackmail him. Attorney Bull
testified that the Sacramento correspondent
Of the Examiner had threatened that unless
he was paid the sum of $4,000 he wonld
oppose the Connolly claim, which Mr.. Bull
was pushing The E61ntiner dismisses the
testimony of Mr.. Bull with the remark that
the Examiner had opposed the Connolly
ciaim, and that Mr.. Bruner must have
known that the Examiner correspondent
could not influence the policy of the paper
in the slightest degree. This is the weak
point in the Examiners defense. Mr.. Bru-
ner could not have known that the Sacra-
mento correspondent Of the Examiner could
not influence the policy of the paper in the
slightest degree. On the contrary, there is
much reason to believe that in the absence
Of Mr.. Hearst $4,000 checks are influential
in the Examiner office. The paper is under
the same management now as when the Ar
mold case implicated several persons con-
nected with it in a scheme to eXtOrt money
from Arnold. The public will remember
that while the Arnold case was in progress
the Examiner announced the purchase OF
site at the corner of Third and Market
streets, upon which it was to build
a fOurteen-Story building. This report
served to divert attention from the Arnold
scandal, and give the gang that abused
young Mr.. Hearst's confidence a new lease
of life. But no one now hears anything
about the new fourteen-stOry building. The
Bruner case will probably be thoroughly
sifted in the House. Mr. Bledsoe, the
Chairman of the Investigating Committee,
has no sympathy either with such prac-
tees as Bruner is charged with or with such
as the Examiner is charged with. People
on the street are already remarking that the
man must be a fool WHO would give Bruner
$500 for a simple Endorsement for position
on the police force. Had Mr.. Bruner shown
letter from the Police Commission show
ing that his Endorsements would be good for
a certain number Of appointments men
might have been found to pay $500 for one.
But Mr.. Bruner did not show that he had
any influence with the commission. The
Examiner volunteers the statement that
''Mr. Lawrence (their Sacramento CORE
spondent) had nothing whatever to do with
the exposure Of Burners methods, and
knew nothing about it until the trap was
eprung." The public will form their own
opinion of the truth of this statement.
When crowd of subordinates c0nspire to
make money ont of property temporarily
under their control they generally act with
a general understanding one with another.

THE SOLID TEN.

The Scriptures tell us that when the sins
of the people of an ancient city had pro-
voked divine wrath to such degree that
the complete destruction of the city was
threatened some merciful soul obtained the
promise that if ten good men could be found
in the city the threatened destruction should
be stayed If we apply the moral of this
story TO the San Francisco delegation in the
Senate. we find our city in worse condi-
ton than the ancient one. a relief bill
came up in the Senate on Friday directing
the Supervisors to pay John j. Conlin for
street work performed on behalf OF private
property-ownerS, and every San Francisco
Senator voted for it. Two or three Senators
from the interior said that they voted for 1t
on the ground that the eptire delegation
from San Francisco were in favor of the
bill. Senator Dray did not see how he
could refuse to vote for the bill when every
Senator from the city Immediately inter
ested voted for it. Mr.. Dray subsequently
remarked that he did not see how the cit
zens of San Francisco could expect the
country members to save them from being
robbed when they had not sufficient III
fiuence with the delegation to get a single
man to stand out. There does not appear
to be any pretense that any OF these street
contractors has a legal claim against the
city. The bills are urged on the ground
that it is hard for the contractors to lose
debts due them by private parties. The
amount Of these illegal claims which may be
grouped under one general heading is close
upon S4,OOOO0O. The astonishing thing is
thrt the claimants should have secured the
support of every Senator from the city to be
subjected to the robbery. That attorneys
working for contingent fees, lobbyists
working for anything they may see lying
round loose, and other persons directly in
tereSted, should urge these claims is to be
expected. but that persons elected to repre-
sent this city should join in with them is de-
plorable. Members of the Legislature COM
plain that the public is somewhat too ready
to believe the truth Of charges made against
them. Is it strange in view of sIch votes
as those we are considering that the people
believe almost everything that is said
against the present delegation from San
Francisco to the Legislature?

DICTATOR HILL.

The Hill that we refer to is the one that
believes in holding as many Offices as he can
geS himself elected to. lie is Governor of
New York by virtue Of an election by the
people and United States Senator from New
York by virtue Of an election by the Legis-
lature. His Senatorial term commenced on
the 4th Of March, but he still holds the office
of Governor. In the performance of the
duties of the latter office he recently denied
an application from the Governor of Con-
necticus for the surrender of a fugitive
from justice who had found refuge in
New York. He gave as a reason his
opinion that the person performing the
duties of Governor Of. Connecticut was
not legally and rightfully Governor of
that State. Governor Hill appears to have
arrived at this conclusion somewhat hastily.
The Constitution of Connecticut provides
that the Governor in Office shall continue to
be the Governor until his successor has duly
QUALIFIED. The Constitution Of Connecticut
also provides that a majority vote shall
elect. In consequence of this latter pro-
vision no Governor has been elected by the
people. The Legislature got itself into such
a tangle that candidate Morris. who appears
to have the best title to the Office, has not
yet qualified. There is, consequently, no

FOR SENATOR.

- It must be admitted that no name that has
vet been mentioned in connection with the
Senatorial nomination creates any public
enthusiasm. The reason probably is that
each of the most prominent ones has
solicited the support of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company. De Youngs first move
ment in tile direction of the SenatorshiD was
q call up Stow. The reception he met in
duced him to pose as an anti-raiiToad candi-
date, but no one doubts his willingness to
make peace with the company on Lis own
terms. The question for Republicans to con-
slider to-day is if there is not prominent
Republican in the State whose name will
strike the public mind as the right man for
the place With Mr.. Stanford at the head of
the party, public men have been kept at a
low average. Men Of ability and character
have beer kept in the background. There is
a chance now for the party to redeem itself
by eiecting a Senator whose fitness will be
admitted, and whose independence Of rail-
road Control will not be called in question.

THE EIGHT-HoUR MOVEMENT.

Lord Salisbury says the eight-hour pro-
posal attacks a vital principle of individual
liberty. Parliament, he adds, has no right
10 interfere with adults. 1t is not surprising
that the eight-hour movement should not
receive the approval of statesman who
ciings to free trade. The shortening of the
hours OF labor is equivalent to an increase
of wages. An increase of wages in one
country. others remaining at the old rates,
places that country at a disadvantage in the
production of cheap goods. This disadvan-
tage may be overcome by duties on foreign
goods, but in free-trade countries that rem
edy is of course out of the question. Lord
Salisbury is probably more concerned in
maintaining the ability of Great Britain to
produce goods cheaply than in preserving
the principle of individual liberty. He
would not consider the eight-hour move
ment so Objectionable if it were universal.
But eight hours in England and ten or twelve
hours in other Continental countries would
place English manufacturers at a serious
disadvantage.

other Governor Of Connecticut than Gov
ernor Buckley. who made the requisition
which Governor Hill refused to honor.
Things have come to pretty pass when the
Governor Of one State may assume TO decide
upon the title of a Governor of any other
State. Each State has its courts. and one is
supposed to be as competent as another to
determine the result of elections held within
its borders. The facts were known to Gov
ernor Hill that Governor Buckley was per-
forming the duties Of Governor, and that no
other person has been sworn in to perform
them. Hill's legal right to hold two offices
is open to question. But the fact that he
continues to hold two offices does not speak
well for his moral perception.
