Something Done,

Citizens on South Main street and peo-
pie who come into the city from the

vehicles are compelled to come by way

by which the streets over which they
now come into the city will he put i'll a
decent condition.

THE NICARAUGUA CANAL.

Both Warner Miller and VIM. L.
Merry print articles in the Forum set
ting forth the great benefits that will
accrue to this country from the COM
pletion of the Nicaragua canal and
the reasons why the project should
have the countenance and support of
this government. The advantages of
the canal are set out by Mr.. Miller and
the reasons for government aid by Mr..
Merry, who combats the arguments
against such aid. He contends that if
the government withholds the support
needed, the company building the canal
will seek foreign capital, which will
bring with it the right to protect the
same by the government whose people
furnish the money. The fleets Of
foreign power may thus be established
at the termini of the canal, and, in case
of disputes, might forbid the passage
of our naval or other vessels and COM
pei Uncle Sam to fight his way through
at heavy expense, all of which can be
saved by assuming control at the out
set and lending its official countenance
to the enterprise. Several other reasons
of a political nature also are cited
in proof OF the wisdom of govern
ment aid to the canal, but none
tending to show that the government
may not in the long run have to foot
the bill if it indorses for the company.
There is says Mr.. Merry, hardly a
possibility of the Nicaragua canal
costing our government one dollar
under the stringent provisions that can
be adopted to prevent it." And this is
all he says on that subject, the one
that involves the most serious objec-
ton to the project in the minds OF
many people. Under the present man.
agement the scheme has not the ap-
pearance of solidity and good faith that
it ought to have in order to recommend
it to public favor. There has been
great deal of suspicious exaggeration
put out by it relative to the work done
and the means in hand for prosecut-
ing it.
1t may be that even though the gov
eminent should be forced ultimately to
pay the cost of construction, the in
vestment would not be bad one. If
that be true, would not consciousness
OF that fact be powerful temptation to
the company to embark in certain
schemes of plumber, the responsibility
for which the government would at
last have to shoulder? Neither does
it follow that without government aid
foreign capital will be the sole reliance
of the company There are millions
enough in this country ready to take
up the company's bonds when it estab-
fishes its good faith and ability to
make a success of the undertaking.
Why should the government throw
itself reeklessly and blindly into q
scheme in which private capital takes
so little concern?

Mr.. Cleveland is candidate for the
honor of heading the presidential
ticket of the Democratic party for
third time and Of leading it to a second
defeat.
Close friends and political admirers
of the ex-president have been assuring
the party that he had no thought of
such an indicate course as an open
candidacy for the presidency, especially
with his own state, county and precinct
avowedly against him. Mr.. Cleveland
is one of those men, however, whose
uses of his friends do not include the
business of advising with them. He
has been told by the hero-worshipers
that he is superior nature, unlike
other men, better than other men, and
he has been told it so often that he
has, unfortunately, come to believe it.
The result is, he seeks what no other
man in the history of the republic has
ever been given, chance to ask the
people third time for the presidency.
Grant sought it, but with all of his
military prestige and backed as he was
by the strongest leaders of his party.
such as Conkling, he met defeat in his
party's convention that served to meas
urably cloud his political record.
Mr.. Cleveland is not only candi-
date, announced authoritatively, but he
is candidate with platform, and
negative platform at that-''no free
coinage
Mr. Frank Rurd of Ohio, who has
been in close consultation with him at
Ann Arbor, makes the announcement,
and will seek the Endorsement of the
Ohio Democracy for the candidate and
the platform by asking to be elected
delegate at large from Ohio to the ma
tional convention.

fore the United States commissioner here
in day or two, as soon as witnesses arrive
who have been summoned TO testify against
him. He was arrested in Encinal county.
From all that can be heard it.
would seem that the United
States federal authorities have
good case against him, and he viii prob
ably suffer.
The cases of the other two prisoners are
more interesting. A few Gays since, it IS

city, that Gen Lorenzo Garcia OF the Next

men, named Vida Lagano and Jorge RUez,
came across the river from Mexico to tes-
tify against DeYilla and It IS said that they
were sent by Gen. Garcia. These witnesses
stated they recognized Deyilla at Villa lagos
