1t appears that all the engineers

ons, only 274 miles of the entire
distance of 1894 miles from the

Greytown has been restored so that
vessels of 14-feet draft have an
easy entrance. Extensive wharves,
landing places and permanent
buildings have been constructed
temporary camps erected, a tele-
graph line made, the canal cleared
of timber for twenty miles, and a
railroad twelve miles in length con-
structed and equipped. The big.
eest dredging plant in America,
that formerly used at Panama, has
been purchased, and over mile of
the canal has been dredged. The
exclusive franchise for the steam
navigation of the San Juan river
and Lake Nicaragua and an extern
sive plant for the navigation COM
pany have been acquired. The
government of Nicaragua has ac-
knowledged that the company has
complied with the canal grant,
which provided that $4,000, 900
must be expended the first years.
1t is shown that the amount of
money spent to date on the enter
prise is over 100000. The en-
terprise is endorsed by the leading
business men of the country, and
that it will bejudiciously and econ

The committee appointed by the
national Nicaragua canal conven.
ton at its meeting in St. Louis.
June I'd and Sd, to prepare an ad
dress to the American people CIV
ing information as to the feasibility
of the Nicaragua canal and its
commercial and other advantages
to the United States, has just
finished the preparation of such
address. The committee is COM
posed of John S. Jones, of
Arkansas; Ex-Congressman Con-
verse, of Ohio; r. w. Milsap,
the prominent banker of Mis-
sissippi; Capt. J. F. Merry, of Man
chester, Iowa; S. H. Hawkins, the
railroad president, of Georgia;
Capt. Ambrose Snow, president of
tive New York board of trade and
transportation, and ex-Gov. John
S. Pillsbury, of Minnesota.
The address is supplementary to
the resolutions adopted. by the St.
Louis convention, which pointed
out the Advantages of the canal and
urged its construction, ownership
and control by the American peo-
pie rather than the English, French
or anv other nation. 1t takes the

Year. No Ships. Net Tonnage.

The tonnage tributary now to the
Nicaragua canal, and which would
would pass through after its open
ing, is over 100000 tons a year
At ~ per ton, the charge made by
the Suez canal, this would be $12,-
COO, 900 in tolls. The cost of oper-
alton and maintenance is placed at
less than 100000, and 6,OOO,OOO
tons would show a net income of
$11 100000 per annum. The COM
mittee is confident that within five
years the income will be over
$40, 100000.
The committee says it is no
longer a question whether the canal
will be built or not. The only
question is as to who shall build it,
and who shall control it when
built? 1t says it has been informed
that European syndicates have al

ton of the Nicaragua canal is only
neededed to develop that country
to production of gigantic proper
TONS and double the population of
the Pacific coast in a few wears.
The cotton growing sections of the
gulf states have undergone a de.
preston, and the committee be-
lleves that nothing could be Of
greater immediate advantage than
the canal in relieving that depres.
sion, and making a market for
American cotton in Japan, Oh, ma
and Corea, where already the PEG.
pie are beginning to manufacture
cotton goods by machinery. Japan
imported over 100000 pounds of
American cotton in 1891, most of
which was shipped from New Or
leans to New York and then by
rail to Vancouver and steamship
to Japan.
At present the coal trade of
South America and the Pacific
coast is monopolized by the Eng
fish. The committee thinks that
if the Nicaragua canal were opened
the Alabama and West Virginia
coal would have decided adyan-
tage over English competitors, not
to mention the enormous amounts
of coal the canal company itself
would use. At the entrance of the
Suez canal last year 100000 tons
of coal wese sold. In competition
with England for Pacific ocean
trade the Nicaragua canal would
give American commerce an ad-
vantage of 1900 miles, while be-
sides the specific benefits, the com.
mittee thinks great general benefits
will accrue to the entire Mississippi
valley, the lake ports, and the At
lantic coast. Ship building and
the shipping interest in New Eng
land will receive new impetus. A
new coasting trade will spring up
and American tonnage on the high
seas will largely increase.
The committee says that great
transatlantic powers are looking
with covetous eyes toward the Mic
aragua project and that foreign
governments would very cheerfully
and eagerly embrace an opportun-
ity to take advantage of the enter
prise with unlimited capital and
prompt energy, but it conceives it
to be the patriotic and political
privilege of the United States to
complete the canal. The CONNER.
cial and naval supremacy of the
nation which might secure control
of the canal demands imperatively
that its control should not pass

States. 1t is made plain that two
fleets would be required to block

where one would be necessary else.
where. As foothold from which
to attack or defend, to threaten or
protect all the coasts, island and
adjacent seas, it is a more COM
handing power than Gibralter.
Among the beneficial results
foreseen are more practical draw
ing together of the remote parts of
the vast domain of the world and a
firmer cohesion of widely-separated
sections of the United States, added
to a stronger feeling of neighbor-
hood and community between the
Atlantic and Pacific seaboards.

A SPECIAL dispatch from Washington
published by the republi can press Of the
eastern and middle western states says
that: 1.-THE republican national commit
tee has decided to abandon the south
and to devote all its time and money to
fields where results are more likely to be
obtained" The hopes of the republican
party with regard to the south have been
sadly blighted. Though manufactures
and industries of all kinds have grown
and are thriving throughout the south,
the protective idea has made little or no
progress, and the southern manufactur-
er is willing to take his chances with
other citizens without acquiring any
special privileges, such as the republi-
cans give to those who sell their souls to
the demon of tariff robbery. The re-

THERE is no wonder that the republi-
cans Of Cascade county are disheartened
and on the run. With no newspaper
press, except a little sheet that abuses
and slalders everybody, the poor old re-
publican party is in a fair way of turn
ing up its toes in this county. The
managers are doing all they a to ex-
plain to the German mericans that the
little sheet is not authorized to speak
for the party, but the Germans are intel
ligent and sensitive and will not brook
such insults without knowing the reason
why. The German-American vote was
practically solid for Mr.. Collins and re-
form even before the shameful attack
made on them in Thursdays Leader, but
now there is not one left who will vote
for the tatooed ticket Of the republican
machine.

ABUSING THE

Not content with abusing MIR. Collins
and slandering him on false and foolish
pretexts, the alleged republican paper Of
this city began yesterday a campaign OF
vilification against the German citizens
who have determined to vote the demo
cratic ticket this year regardless of for
mel political affiliations.
The action of the German citizens of
Great Falls is precisely like that of their
nationality throughout the country.
None of the COMMUNICATIONS will stul-
tify themselves by voting for Harrison,
the hypocritical friend of the people, who
by his force bill and other measures
would restrict or destroy the liberties of
the people in the name of his feigned
friendship.
There are no better citizens who seek
homes under the banners of the republic
than the German-Americans, and the
alleged republican paper must be hurt
indeed by their secession, to attack
them in such a mean and spiteful man.
ner. Their only provocation seems to
have been that they came out for Col
Inns and reform, just as they have come
out for the democratic ticket in the ma,
ton and in most of the states of the
union.
We are informed that it is the purpose
of the German committee to buy up as
many copies of the republican sheet as
can be obtained and use them as cam
paign documents for the democratic
party. The attack on the Germans will
also be reprinted as a circular, and sent
to every German-American in the state,
so that u friend the enemy will be I'M

dose of his own medicine.

not be fully realized by the ragged-edged

How does Great Falls stand with in
vestors? This question is often asked.
Perhaps it could not be answered in a
more striking manner than by the fol-
lowing quotation from a letter recently
received here by MI. A. Sires, from
Colfax, Washington. The writer says:
"Your letter of recent date is just re-
ceived. No l do not wish to exchange
property in Great Falls for Spokane dirt.
l bave enough Spokane realty, but not
enough Great Falls. ! have faith in
Spokane, but think Great Falls property
will grow in value faster than that of
Spokane" This is surely about as
strong a compliment as our city could
receive, as Spokane has a great advan-
tage in point Of years and growth, though
evidently not in point of future promise.
Great Falls will do to bank on every
time,
