the Canal scandal.

PARIS, Jan. II The trial Of Charles

tn and NJ. E file, accused of completely IN
the Panama canal frauds, wss continued
In the court OF appeals today. Long be-
fore the hour set for the opening OF the
court .he room was flied to the utmost
capacity with crowd of interested spec
tstors, to the most of whom the prisoners
were well known. The audience dis
cussed the evidence given by NJ. Charles
de Lesssps yesterday and the general
opinoa seemed to be be had not bettered
his case by his statements regarding the
transactions between himself and the late
Baron Reinach Little confidence is
placed in his declaration that he bad no
knowledge as to the uses to which the
large sums OF money he had handed the
baron were to be expended fer the canal
company. When M Perivier, president
of the court and his colleagues entered
the courtroom, silence prevailed amid
scene of unusual solemnlty. They took
their seats ON the bench and court W,
declared open. The four prisoners sat
in places occupied by them yesterday,
directly IN front of the magistrates.
Pres. dent Perivier at once proceeded to
examine NJ Fontaine. In response to
questions put to him, M Fontsine said
that shortly after the formation of the
PaDsma Canal Company he was placed
in CT aree OF the company's business with
the press. He detailed at length what
his duties were, and gave much valuable
information regarding the bribery of
newspapers to prevent hostile attacks
upon the company, and also to prevent
the publication of matter that would
have shown the true condition of affairs
ON the isthmus of Panama. M. Fontalne
stated that he had held his position as
manager of the c0mpany's press affairs
unIili 1856, whel the exactlone of the
newspapers became SO heavy be was com
pelIed to abandon 1t. Since that time he
had been merely the secretary of De
Lesseps.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12-From remarks
that have been heard and the statements
made by verious delegates to the present
sb'p. canal convention. it appears that
the convention, or at least some of It's
advocates will clash with the Nicaragua
canal. The proposition for United
States ship canal, though the land OF the
Unifed States. seems to meet with con
siderable favor by ihess people. II it
appears tina, the Nicaragua interests
Sre to be sacrificed the proposed ship
canal may lose number of its friends

DEMOCRATIC PROGRESS.

The Michigan plan of choosing
presidential electors by congressional
districts is considered step forward
and more nearly approaching direct
vote by the people, by "a Democratic
exchange. 1t has evidently forgotten
the Jefersonian idea of states rights,
and the doctrine of inherent sover-
eighty in the commonwealth and not
in the electors. In ante-bellum days
we constantly heard the doctrine ex-
pounded by the disciples Of Jefferson
that the ideas engrafted in the consti-
tuition of the election of president by
!. the states, and the adoption of amend-
ments to the instrument by the same
method, were conclusive evidence that
the founders of the government in
tended these to be the prevalent ones.
The constitution provides that "each
state not congressional district
shall appoint, in such manner as the
legislature thereof may direct num-
ber of electors, equal to the whole
number of senator's and representa-
tives to which the state may be en-
Titled in the congress-" etc. From
this it is very evident that the organic
law Of the government contemplated
that the state should be the unit In
the election of president, and not the
congressional district, county or
municipality; but Democracy saw
in the process of gerrymander-
ing scheme by which it could
secure Democratic electors in Re-
publican state, and the party alb
rogated its principles of state SOW
ereignty and the paramount idea Of
states casting the vote in the electoral
college as provided in the fundamental
law of the nation. If the doctrine
were applied to all states indiscrimi-
nately it might work no hardship on
any political organization, and then
Virginia, Louisiana or South Carolina
would not be any longer solidly Dem
ocratic in presidential elections. 1t
might be advisable to gerrymander
New York in this manner, and then
the vote of the city and Queens county
wonld not control the politics of the
state; but the contracted vision Of
Democracy only takes in Michigan.
Minnesota and Ohio, where it could,
by this means, break the solid phalanx
OF the Republican electoral vote.
Democratic states would be all right
to cast their electoral votes as the con-
stitution provided, and in harmony
with the Jeffersonian idea of state sov-
ereignty. This is very transparent
trick Of our friends, the enemy, and is
the only available means for them to
control the election of the executive
and the upper branch of congress. Of
course, where the legislature this year
is Democratic, it will be attempted to
capture electoral votes in Republican
states; but this system will never be
advocated in the solid south, or where,
like New York, by so doing it would
make the larger portion of the COM
monwealth irrevocably Republican.
And yet reputable journals, simply for
party success, will bury all principles
of patriotism and call such nefarious
schemes, "steps forward" Otempora!

THE PROGRESS OF TBE dGE.

Whatever may be the outcome Of
the quarrel between Archbishop ire
land and Archbishop Oorrigan, if such
it may be termed, the visit of Monsig-
more Satolli to the United States has
dispelled many illusions regarding the
attitude of the Roman pontiff towards
American institutions. That the holy
see is not unfriendly towards this re-
public, and will moi interfere with the
maintenance of the public school sys-
tenn by Catholic citizens in this coun-
try is well-assured fact. This Is an
advancement in church pollty that was
not expected, and marks an epoch in
the history Of the race which is very
encouraging to all liberal minded per-
sons. The time has passed when eccle-
siastical bodies can mark out the path
to be pursued in secular matters, or
when creeds are considered subjects
above criticism. In this age the bit
ter denominational feeling which ar
rays one Christian organization against
another is rapidly passing away, and
now Catholic and protestant, Method
ist and Baptist can meet harmonic
ously and be actuated by the one de-
sire of the betterment of the condition
of the people. This is more fully dem
onstrated in the United States, per-
haps, than in any other country, and
the Catholic is as good an American
as the Oongregationalist, and the Jew
as the Methodist. There has been a
wonderful growth and expansion in
our preconceived notions regarding
sects, and every thinking man has felt
the effect of the change. The Catholic
no longer looks upon his protestant
neighbor as one doomed to eternal per.
dition, and the dissenter does not con-
slider the mother church as the hand
maid of the inquisition and thirsting
for his blood. 1t may be that dogma
fists still hold there is one true church
and that there IS no salvation outside;
but these views are kept inside the
cloisters of monks and require constant
tanning to keep the flame of life in
them in existence. They will never
reach stage of white heat again, and
will eventually pass away almost un-
noticed. The world moves and the
church moves, and the forward move
ment carries all with it, even though
unperceived by those upon whom the
influence is exerted.

The bill of Senator Willis, intro
duced into the legislature Thursday,
that no female shall thereafter be en-
ptoyed, hired or paid for services as
clerk of or for the legislature of this or
any other branch or house, or OF any
committee appointed by said assembly,
or by any officers of either" is meas
ure that savors of medieval barbar-
ism and is direct insult to every wo-
man in Oregon. We hope that Mr..
Willis has neither wife or daughter,
and therefore may be excused for his
mlsanthropic notions. That young la
dies have proved as efficient clerks as
young men has been often demon
strated, and there is no reason why
they should be debarred from any po-
sition. They are as intelligent, more
honest and virtuous than males, and
should have the same opportunities of
earning a livelihood. Such legislation
would be disgrace to the middle
ages, and should be frowned down
with contempt by Americans in the
last years of the nineteenth century.
