America will Control the Nicaragua
Canal.

Unfortunately there has been
strong impression that the landing at
Bluefields was intended to reassert
fanciful claim to British protector ,te
over the Mosquito Indians-a pretense
that never had any substantial basis,
and that was abandoned full gener-
alton ago. Satisfactory explanations
will undoubtedly be forthcoming.
Meanwhile, Admiral Benham will
have manifested with sufficient dis
tinciness our concern regarding affairs
in Central America. The Bluefields
situation owes its interest almost Who'll
ly to the fact that this poin t1ies so near
the enti ance to the ship canal, and
that it is the we'll matured policy of
the United States to control, both com
mercially and politically, the proposed
water passage between the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans. The United States
can have no disposition to wish Great
Britain i'll in her maintenance of Glib
raltar and Malta, her control of Egypt,
her firm possession of the SueZ Canal,
and the maintenance at all hazards of
her unobstructed route to India and
Australia. The United States can look
on with indifference, if not rather
with positive approval, as Great Brit
ain proceeds to appropriate large and
ever large areas of South Africa. Nor
do we object to the constant widening
of British jurisdiction in Asia by the
invasion from India of adjacent prov
inces. But this country can not view
with any satisfaction the disposition
OF Great Britain from her original lin
tied foothold at the mouth of the Esse-
quibo river to push forward the front
iers of British Guiana by appropriating
territory that belongs to Venezuela.
We shall naturally give all the benefit
of the doubt to the self governing re-
public that is ON the ground, rather
than on the British Empire that ought
not to hold sovereignty over foot of
South American soil. The United
States, also, will not admit the faintest
color OF British authority in Central
America, nor will this country sane
ton any British plans for the acquisi-
tion of Hawaii.-From ''The Progress

Kentucky "She'S All Rights

1t is claimed by all of our Republic
scan exchanges and admitted by some
Democratic that Albert S. Willis, of
Kentucky, has been a failure as Minis
ter of the United States to Hawaii.
The President sent him there to pre-
vail upon Queen Lii to agree to par
don everybody who had opposed her
corrupt rule and had aided in her over
throw, But Mr.. Willis did not prevail
worth cent. He told Queen Lii that
Mars Grover would restore her to the
throne provided she would pardon her
enemies, and Queen Lii fatty told Mr..
Willis that she would do no such thing.
On the contrary, she said if she were
restored she would behead all the men
she did not like, confiscate their prop
erty and drive the women ana children
out of the country. The failure of
Mr. Willis to accomplish the purpose
for which he was sent to her ex-Maj-
esty has led some Republican papers to
DO injustice to the gallant State of
Kentucky. Their papers have said
that Kentucky was not the State to 90
for Minister to Hawaii, that no Ken
tuckian was fitted for the job given to
Willis. We deny the allegation and
denounce the alligator We will not see
injustice done Kentucky because it is a
Democratic State. We affirm that
Kentucky was the very State to go to
for Minister to Queen Lii, but Cleve
land showed poor judgment in select
ing the wrong man, Willis. Kentucky,
noble old Kentucky, which boasts that
1t raises more pretty women and fine
horses aud makes more and better
whiskey than any other State in the
Union, can truthfully claim to have n
statesman better qualified TO prevail
on Queen LII than has any other sect.
ion of the United States. We refer of
couise, to that gallant Kentuckian, the
silver tounged and silver haired orator,
Col. w. G. P. Breckenridge. The mere
announcement to Lii that Breckenridge
was coming would put her in better
humor than boy is in when he gets
his first pair of red topped boots. She
would welcome him with open arms
and surrender to him without struggle.
He could prevail on the old girl to do
anything.

The Pending Tariff Policy.

The Democratic party came into
power with so clear mandate from
tine people that it is abundantly author
lied to make very radical changes in
whole revenue system of the United
States, But it certainly had no man
date to cut, slash, tinker and deform
for the mere sake of being able to claim
that it had at last done something about
the tariff. The Wilson bill as it left
the House was nigh protectionist
measure in every principle. The added
work of the Senate committee has not
made it any point of principle more
thoroughly protective bill than Mr..
Wilson himself made it, but has added
TO it much more of the character of a
log rolling measure, altered not to con-
form with any principle, but simply to
favor certain special interests that
were strong enough to insist upon hav-
ing themselves protected. The result
has been thus far to confuse and dis
turb the course of trade and industry.
If the bill should become law in one
form or another, is would have ELECTED

Good Roads.


II think that one great cause of the
prosperity of Kentucky as State lies
in her excellent system of roads, said
John Sinnott, of Paducah, KY, at the
Metropolitan. I'VE utilize our con-
victs by making them work upon our
roads. Take the city in which live,
for instance, and the good results of
this idea are apparent. We haye four
big pixies or macadamized and well.
graded roads running out from the
CITY. On rainy day when the farmer
can't pillow he'll hitch up his team, put
a hogshead of tobacco or load of
corn on his wagon and come to town.
In most sections of the United States
he couldn't get to town on rainy day
with loaded wagon on account of the
mud. AS it is in our country he saves
a whole day, saves his team and his
wagon and his temper, and the town
merchant gets the benefit of his trade. !"
The foregoing we take from the
Washington Post of recent date. The
system of making good roads, all over
Kentucky, by making the penit ntiary
convicts do the work, instead of having
them do such work as brings them in
competition with honest day laborers
and mechanics is the right policy.
And it is the policy advocated by the
Republican party in Tennessee. Good
roads are not only beneficial to the
farmers, but to all classes of our citi.
Zens.

Labor.

In that little word lies the true secret
of human success. This is the talisman
which solves the mysterious difference
between one man s history and an
others, There is but one road to sue
cess whether in the mechanic pursuits,
in farming, in law, in medicine OF in
public life and that is through labor.
We mean, of course, permanent sue
cess A man may temporarily succeed
in politics without work, but his sue
cess will be only for a time The
people find out whom they can depend
on to do their work when they put
them in office. Lincoln said, "You
can fool all the people part of the
time, and part of the people all the
time, but you can't fool all the people,
or majority of them, all the time. y
Carlisle said labor was the very essence
of heroism. One of the ancients went
further and called it "the universal
conqueror." In the little ant, the
slow snail, it supplies the lack of size,
speed and strength; and in man. where
its operations are directed by God
given intellect, scarce anything seems
impossible to it. Who Of all our read

call attention to the school supplies
which A. j. Slagle is agent for, have

ers can not teach successfully unless
we are supplied with the necessary
weapons. A man would be fool to

strength without having the necessary
helps, although the teacher is expected
to fight single handed against one of
tne greatest monsters of the age, and
that is ignorance. We have some good
patrons in all communities, but l will
say The bad overbalance the good. We
have patrons who would sacrifice the
Characters and future of their children
before they would help to furnish or
even agree to allow the disrectors to
furnish the schools with what is needed,
and again we have teachers who are
teaching fifty years behind the times.
In one district we find teachers who
are simply dragging along, teaching
arithmetic and the alphabet Those
teachers are blindfolding the people,
and directors and promoting the well
fare OF ignorance. They have stopped
growing in an intellectual sense. Such

Free Silver COinage..an Object Lesson.
The newspapers report that at last

coined at or near Omaha, Nebraska

portant sense, they are not counter.
feits, as each coin contains the SAN
amount of pure silver, 18Th grains)
and the same kind and amount of al,
10y to constitute the standard weight,
(4l2l grains) as the dollars minted by
the Government. Senator Sherman
has asked the Judiciary Committee of
the Senate to inquire whether our pres
ent laws against counterfeits are sufi-
cient to punish these ''smilaters" of
our national coin and if not, to report
bill covering the case.
The object lesson, presented, is re-
markably significant one, bearing on
the Democratic free coinage of sill
yer" question. These 500 900 new sill
yer dollars Manufactured at Omaha
gives the manufacturers a profit of fifty
one cel,ts on each dollar or the aggre-
gate profit of $255,0O0. AS above sta
ted, the new Omaha dollars are so ex-
actly like, and so intrinsically as val.
liable as the United States coined dol
lars that the Treasurer can not tell one
from the other, and 30 must receive
and treat them as the dollars of our
daddies."
Now. by this example, let's see what
free silver coinage" will be and mean
if Mr.. Bland and the majority of Dem
ocrats in Congress succeed in making
it the law. And bear in mind, that all
except three of Tennessee 8 Represen-
tatives favor it.
The proposed free coinage law re-
quires the United States Mints to coin,
free of charge, all silver bullion
brought to the mints.
Had such law been in force these
Omaha manufactures" would have
taken their bullion to the United States
Mint. Whyy Simply for the reason
that the cost of coming as estimated by
the Mint DIRECTORY is II cents for each
dollar So the Omaha organization
by getting the Government to do the
work for them, would have saved just
$500. As it has been, the actual cost
to the Omaha Company has been prob.
ably not less than five cents on each
dollar. But let us carry the 'objoc;
lesson little further.
