Proposed Ship Canal.

The board appointed to select a
route for the ship canal with which
it is proposed to connect the waters
OF Chesapeake and Delaware BAYS
met at the War Department last
week Tor the purpose of organizing
and preparing a plan of action.
The task of the board is to select
from surveys already made by the
War Department the route which
Will "give the greatest facility to
commerce and be best adapted for
national defense"
The surveys referred to were
made by Col. Craighill about sixteen
years ago under authority of an act
of Congress. He examined half
dozen routes crossing the peninsula
IN various directions. The shortest
cut across the peninsula was found
to be by the Sasafras river near the
line OF the existing Chesapeake and
Delaware canal. Its drawbacks
are that its approaches are very
expensive to maintain, and that 1t
Is more liable than others to block
ing byice in the winter. The other
routes surveyed are to the south of
the Sasafras river, and the cost of
their construction was estimated at
three or four times as much.
The present board is to consider
not only facilities for commerce,
but suitability for national defense,
The idea beng to have the means of
sending war ships to and from
Baltimore to the Atlantic ocean.
The commercial advantages of the
however, are the main |
objects. A ship canal would bring

What The Election Did.

Four hundred men employed at
the Canton Copper works were
formally notified yesterday that on
next pay day their wages would be
increased by ten per cent.
The proprietors say the new
schedule has been struck owing to
the Republican victory and the
consequent prospective increase in
the profits of the concern. A
reduction had been made in the
wages of the employees IN November,
1892, Immediately after the general
election. - Baltimore Herald of

Justice VIII Rule,

One of the first duties of the Fiji
ty-fourth House will be to pass
upon large number Of contested
seats. In deciding these cases there
should be strict justice, without
any trace of partisansh1p. The
fact that the House IS so strongly
Republican and that no more mem
bers Of the party Of Protection are
needed on the roll call is no reason
why any case should be dismissed
without full investigation. All Re-
pubIcans who have been elected are
entitled to their seats. The con-
tests from the Southern States
should be considered with especial
care. There is reason to believe
that in several Southern districts
Republicans who were chosen at the
polls have been deprived of their
rights. In all such cases justice
should fearlessly be done. But
Republicans must examine contest
ing claims with dispassionate judg-
ment. They cannot afford to be
hasty or partisan. The country
expects that they will be just.

Tax Collectors Short.

CENTREyILLE, MD, Nov. b.
The Indictment of seven tax collec-
tors for defaulting to the State has
caused considerable commotion.
Previous to the assembly Of court
Judge Robinson had secured from
Comptroller Smith certificates of
the amount of Indebtedness of the
several collectors to the State,
These arrearages amounted to over
1922, 900. These certificates are
prima facie evidence of default, but
the collector is no defaulter unless
he has actually received the funds
and large part of the aggregate
above has never been collected.
The penalty for the offense is con-
finement in the peniUentlary.
The list includes the names of
nineteen collectors, but
were found against only those who
had been in arrears a long time or
owed a large sum. One shortage
dates back to 1879. 1t is not prob
able that either of the cases will be
brought to trial at this term of
court, as it would be difIicult to
prepare for them, and the delin-
quents will avail themselves of the
opportunity to settle their indebt-
edness prior to the May term. 1t
is believed that this proceeding will
prevent recurrence of this state
of affairs.

Stock.

The State live stock board held a
consultation in Baltimore.
The board is very active in
investigating the various cases Of
cattle disease that are reported to
it, but the members say their pow
erS Of extirpation are limited to
exotic diseases and not to tubercu-
losis.
One member Of the board said it
would bankrupt the State to under
take the eXtirpation of tuberculosis
without cooperation with the sur
rounding States. of" he SAID,
"Maryland were to undertake this
work alone, Delaware, Pennsylva-
mia, Virginia, would invade the
state with diseased ANNALS" He
thought that tuberculosis in cattle
was a serious thing.
If there is as much tuberculosis
among cows in Maryland as would
be inferred from reports made to
the live stock board, it is as serious
a branch Of the subject as the ex-
tirpatlon of exotic diseases. This
Is recognized by the board, who
think that some general govern
mental cooperation or authority
ought to be exercised in regard to
tn berculOsis in cattle and cholera
among hogs.

The smokeless chimneys of the mills,
The spindles hushed, the silent looms,

Baltimore very much nearer New
York and Philadelphia by avoiding
the circuitOus route around the
the peninsula, and it would also
shorten the distance between Balti-
more and the ports of Europe, thus
greatly increasing the transatlantic

pose of the present board, however,
is the selection of a route, and it is

These men were indicted by the

during the late miners strike.
The case attracted a greaet deal
of attention and was watched with
the keenest interest. After all OF
the witnesses had related their ex-
periences on the eventful evening
in question, the arguments were
begun before the jury. Messrs.
Sloan and Gordon represented the
State and Messrs. Pearre and j. A.
McHenry appeared for the defend
ants. All of the speeches were ex-
ceedingly we'll compiled and elo-
qucntly delivered. Mr.. McHenry
in his usual argumentative style
made a deep impression upon the
Jury, and Col. Pearre, with his pol.
ished manner and earnest pleading
added another round in his ladder
of fame as a criminal lawyer.
Mr.. r. II. Gordon made a mos
profound legal address, and his
appeal to the jury with uplifteC

Geo. Trailor, a carpenter and miner, of Picacho was in town for few days this week. He says things are commencing to hum up that way. About thirty men are now employed at the Picacho Placer mines by Mir. Park the new superintendent. The company ex- poets to get in operation in few weeks at most.
 Col. D. K. Allen, J. M. Mendivil and Allen J. Smith have located a wheel and mill site at the Barrier rocks, half way from Picacho to Norton's Landing, where a large water wheel will be put in for the purpose of manufacturing electri- city for running the machinery at the mines and mills on both sides Ot the rlver Tn that section. The locators are acting under the in structions of a syndicate of capital ists who propose to harness the waters of the Colorado river and put them to work. Captains Pol hamus and Mellon are authority that it is one of the best places on the river for this purpose. The mining companies interested at Picacho are contemplating the opening of good wagon road from Yuma to the mines. It is estimat- ed that this can be done for $2,50C a road over which ten ton team can easily pass and a good pair of horses and buggy can go in four hours, distance of 2S miles. As it is now the mines have to depend upon the occasional steamer or on the burro train for supplies.
 Capt. Joaquin Mendez located a rich silver mine last week near the old Clip mine.

There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other dis, eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur able. For great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J.

Home and Abroad.

It is the duty of everyone, whether at home or travelling for pleasure or business, to equip himself with tine remedy which will keep up strength and prevent illness, and cure such ills as are liable to come upon all in every day life. For instance, Hoods Sar- saparilla as general tonic, and to keep the blood pure and less liable to absorb the germs of disease, will be well nigh invaluable. Change of drinking water often causes serious trouble, especially if.one has been used to spring water In the country. From few drops to a teaspoonful of Hoods Sarsaparilla in 6 tumbler of water will prevent the water having any in. JurIous effect.
 Hoods Vegetable Pills, as a cathar- tic, cause no discomfort, no disturb ance, no loss of sleep, but assist the digestive organs, so that satisfactory results are effected in a natural and regular manner.
