Not many years ago the Hon. Charles

ceremonies and keep the temple always

THE Nicaragua canal bill as it now
stands appears to be well provided with
safeguards against any great rascality,
such as now agitates the French people.
One hundred millions Of dollars in
bonds is by it's provisions to be guaran-
teed by the federal government. which
endorsement is secured by a mortgage
covering the entire property of the COM
pany. 1t is a matter that will need con-
servative consideration, but in the sue.

The IsrHMUs OF DARIEN A HooDoo.

The exposures of the last few weeks
in the Panama canal business have cre-
ated sensation so profound and far
reaching amongst the people of France
as to give rise to the most serious con-
lectures. A very large percentage OF the
people have been ruined by the canal
failure. and it is doubtful whether a
single French family has escaped loss
from the recent collapse. So many OF
the leading public men of France have
been implicated in the developed scan
dals that the people have lost confidence
in the majority of their public men, and
are in that state of disgust and excite
ment that may at any moment burst out
into revolution. We may rest assured
that the friends and agents OF the sew
eral dynasties watching for an oppor-
tunitv to return to rule are not idle at
the present crisis, and that they will
fan the flame into revolutionary con-
fagration if they possibly can do SO.
The popular judgment will not discrim-
mate between the corrupt public men
impeached and the government, and the
result of this tremendous scandal may
be to overthrow the republic and restore
either the monarchy or the empire.
This is the second time that the 18TH
mus of Darien has brought ruan on a
whole people. A little less than two
hundred years ago the fertile brain OF
William Paterson, q man who had the
genius of protector but not the breadth
of view to make his speculative pro.
jects safe, started company in Scot
land for the purpose of taking posses
sion of and colonizing the isthmus. The
company, and through it the kingdom
of Scotland, was to possess the key to
the traffic to India, and Paterson was to
be second Columbus. with the superior
merit of having discovered the short
route to Asia which the great. Genoese
had failed in doing. The people of
Scotland went wild over the project and
turned all their ready money into Dari-
en- shares. The rest of the story is pit
liable. The colonists located near
Chagres. Their constitutions deterio.
rated in that malarious climate, and
they died like sheep. None of their
hopes were realized, and nearly all of
the poor. duped people left their bones
to bleach on the isthmus. Financially
the collapse of the Paterson company
brought as wide comparative ruin to the
people of Scotland as the exploded pro-
ject of De Lesseps has brought to the
people OF France.
1t was unfortunate that man of Fer
dinand de Lesseps' great age should
have undertaken the direction OF the
wsrk on the Panama canal. He was
compelled to leave responsibility with
men upon whose actions he had no
check and the great enterprise natu-
rally became source of individual
emolument 1t was q great game all
round; but the whirligig of time is
bound to bring forth it's revenges, and
it looks now as If there were to be ter
rible accounting for the wrong-doers at
Panama.

IT WOULD appear from statements
published by San Francisco paper
that Stepen M. White has his fight for
the senatorship virtually won. Every
day brings strong accesslons to his forces,
and all in all there appears no chance for
defeat. The present contest is most satis-
factory in its revealing the fact which
very often is lost sight of in politics,
that the people, when they want their
way are very apt to have it, and that at
such times the professional politician
had better stand from under. The

THE West Coast Alliance, Populis'

THE West Coast Alliance, Populist
paper published at Hollister, in it's issue
of the 14th inst, has the following SEN
sible view of the senatorial situation:
The Peoples Press OF San Francisco is
advocating Thomas V. Gator for United
States senator. While admiring Mr..
Gator for his ability as lawyer and
careful student of political economy, We
could not advocate his election to the
senate. The Peoples party cannot claim
more than seven members of the incom-
ing legislature. Would it be honest for
these seven to claim senator to be
elected by 120 votes? 1t would be pre-
sumptuous. Our individual opinion is
that Stephen NJ. White ehould be sup
ported warmly by every Peoples party
man in the Legislature.

The following strong language from
the Episcopal address, delivered by
Bishop Foster at the general confer
ence in May last. 1t is good food for
reflection at this time The Bishop
says:

nounced, and if it is not arrested
there will danger to social estate and
functions. The church must act.
1t cannot side with wealth. 1t must
90 with the toiling masses. That is
not the declaration Of visiOnaries,
but Of all the bishops in the MethO-
dist church Of the world, an able, con.
servative body of thinking men. Now
if the church must act, how will she
act? 1t must 90 with the tOiline
masses. To 90 means more than tC
pray with the tOiling masses. II
means action. Voters, consider these
things like christians and patriots
If all the poverty, all the tears, al
the suffering and anguish, all the
broken hearts, distress, lost honor
lost virtue, lost homes, lost hopes anC
happiness, caused by corporate greed
and avarice, would be piled up in one
vast heap, it would represent the re
suit Of some Of the most giganti,
crimes ever committed in any age O.
the world and would melt the hear
OF angels"

ut seems to me that political par
ties are sweltering in the hOt-beds Of
corruption. Offices and positions are
bartered, sold and bought for money,
and every conceivable plan is resorted
tO-from the stuffing OF the ballOt-box
to the shotgun, from the buying of
the vote to the chicanery Of lifting a
minority over the majority of the
electors, to procure party ascendancy
l am indicating no particular party
for these disloyal practices, for / am
sorry to say they are becoming too
common with all. Cannot this cur.
rent be checked? Can we not roll
back this swelling tide Of corruption
and set an example TO the state and
nation?" Think Of these words.

A few days ago the ballot suffers
were claiming Fishback's majority at

and the POpulist vote about 10000.
