A Nicaragua Canal Bill.

Representative Barham of California said recently in Washington:
 In my opinion the Nicaraguan canal question will be the most important matter brought to the attention of the next congress- l have drafted bill which will introduce to provide for the construction of this canal This bill, think, will not be open to objec- tion. My bill will provide for absolute government ownership of the canal. Un- der it's provisions bonds will be issued as fast as necessary to carry on the work of building the canal. The total issue of bonds is not to exceed $100, 900, 900. I believe in paying the Nioaraguan Ca nal company a fair price for their con sessions from Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and paying them i'll cash or stock, as they elect. I do not believe in giving them any exorbitant sum, however. for what they have already accomplished.
 If the United States do not build this canal, they will be the laughing stock of the world. New York Sun.

THE HoUsEsMiTHs' STRIKE.
A New Trade That Has Sprung Up Within
 Few Years.

a Few Years.
 The strike of the Housesmiths' union, which now threatens general inter ruption of building in New York city, is indirectly due to the fact that science and invention have recently produced the new industry of converting iron in- to "house timber. !" A new trade has been the result. Employment is being given to an increasing number of me- chanics who are to structural iron what carpenters are to woodwork, what ma sons are to brick and stone They are called housesmiths
 Within the past ten years the business of manufacturing iron and putting it in place as the framework of business buildings has assumed great proportions and developed still greater possibilities The fireproof building supported by a structural iron frame is already the business building of the cities It will be still more the building of the future
 Progress is often unnoticed until it develops such friction as is result of the relations between members of the Iron league, who supply the iron frame work for modern buildings, and the housesmiths. who put it in place. Inconyenient as such friction is, it is an indication of the remarkable growth in the building trade which has taken place so recently that the public has hardly had time to realize it.-New York World

DINE BLUFF, ARK, NOV. 2S' 1885,
LARGEST DAILY CITY CIRCULATION
p0sTuAsTER- GENERALS

The first annual report Of Post master- General Wilson has been submitted to the President, ana shows that the receipts Of the nost office department for the year ending June 30, 1895, were $75, IT, OeO and the expenditures So6, ,19o,- 172. The greater part of the dehcit' the report says, was made at the beginning of the year and that revenues are increasing with re turning prosperity. 1t should be remembered, Mr. Wilson says, ssthat the free business done by this department for other branches Of the government, if paid for at regular cost rate would more than wipe out it's deficiency.
 Concerning second class matter, the Postmaster General says:
 ssIt is the estimate of the denart- ment that two thirds of the weight of all the matter carried in the mails is, under existing laws and classifcations, carried as second class matter, at the rate of l cent per pound, where it is not actually carried postage free.
 ''The aggregate weight of the second class matter in the year of 1894 was 299, 000,0 900 pounds. During the last year it increased to over 312, ,000, GOO, a growth of over 12,000, 900 pounds. Deducting the weight of that which is known as county free" being the matter which newspaper subscriber receive free of postage in the respective counties of publication, estimated to be 6,620, 185 pounds, there re- mained 265, PA, 382 pounds, which returned at the rate of cent per pound, would give a revenue of $2, ,652, 143, 82. The average cost of transporting and handling this matter is estimated at s cents per tpound. {"
 According to the above figures the government loses about SIS, 1000, 00O annuaHya in handling second class matter, which amount is greater than the deficit Were the postage rates raised to cost, or eight cents pound, there would be no deficit, and congress would not be asked for an appropriation. The mail sent free by other departments of the government would then be clear gain. But would the people profit by raising the rates on newspapers and periodicals? Competition has reduced the subscription price of these publications to the minimum, and any increased expense must be borne by the subscriber. Either the price would be correspondingly increased or the standard of the journal lowered, and since every American is subscriber to some of these publications and receives the benefit of the reduced postage rates, he would be the loser by increasing the postage.
 The Postmaster General also re- ports favorable upon the reform in civil service and recommends it's extension. Three of the Assistant Postmas ter General, he thinks, should be brought under its regulations but the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General should be left as he is- subject to change with the admin istration.

seoretary Carlisle,s Only Ambition.

Secretary Carlisle, unless he has changed his opinion quite recently, would not take place on the supreme bench. He has frequently said that he would not think of going on the su- preme bench. The only ambition the secretary of the treasury has is to once again become private citizen and re- sume the practice of the law.-Louis- vile Courier Journal.

Eugene Fields Last Poem.

The last poem Eugene Field ever wrote is in the form of an introduction to little book of childish sayings, apt ly entitled "Wee Wits," gotten out by the Lake View Wcman's club. It is as follows:
 The things the children say, Whether i'll earnest or in play, Whether in an inquiring mood Or burdened with solicitude, Or be 1t but in jest what things they say, We parents store away Against time we feel may come Whom, weary are our hearts and numb We hunger for a presence gone for aye. Within this heart of mine I have set up shrine, And round about it have wreathed remem-
 branees. They took my boy. What words surpassing
 dear Fell from his baby lips and rooted here His thousand words of tenderness and cheer Thank God, they could not rob my parent
