NICARAGUA CANAL IN DANGER.

Nicara qua canal matters are now IN
an uncertain position, twixt the cup
and the lip. A letter from Managua
to New Orleans brings the information
that the concession granted to the
Maratime Canal company by the Mic
araguan government will be taken
away unless ONE lively and uncertain
steps be taken toward fulfillment of
certain parts of the contract A promise
was made by the canal company that a
waterway should be built at a place
called Tipitapa, to connect the two
lakes, Managua and Nicaragua. The
time limit expired in October, 1S92,
and the company, so the Nicaraguans
claim, has taken no steps toward per-
forming the work. In the event of
failure to act, the next meet of the
congress of Nicaragua will, it is said,
paralyZe the powers Of the canal COM
pany, at once and forever.
Another danger, whether real or
feigned is not certainly knOwn-iS from
interference on the part of England.
Her minister, GOsling, is said TO have
lately uttered some alarming words
about England's intentions in Near
aqua. GOsling's quacks are to the eff
feet that the United States shall never
be allowed To own the Nicaragnan
canal. The next session of congress
may appropriately give voice to the
policy of the United States on both
these questions and place beyond dis
pute the claim of this government upon
the great artificial waterway Of Cen
trail America

THE PATRIOTS OF 73.

The Lawrence Journal says that "the
Wichita Eagle solemnly assures its
readers that Chauncey Depew has for
hidden the sale Of Coin 'on the New
York Central railroad. The Eagle, by
the way, is a silver paper that is al
ways crying about the misrepresenta-
tons made and the lies told by the
soldbug papers"
The Eagle sees nothing in the item to
apologize for or to be ashamed Of.
The information was found in a New
York paper and is probably true.
Coins Financial School was among the
pamphlets forbidden on the Fri. De-
pew is the president. When one comes
TO think of the extraordinary efforts
being put forth by the goldbugs
through their organs and through the
multiplied publications in the way of
books and pamphlets for the printing
of which the goldbugs pay, such an
order should not, necessarily, prove
astonishing. The goldbugs claim that
their effort to squeeze out the ''craZe"
is purely a patriotic one, inspired by
unselfish and lofty desire TO save the
country from financial ruin. Depew
being animated by the same noble i'm
pulse should not be found fault with
for blackliSting, on his line, a work SO
loaded down with dangerous con-
spiracy and ruinOus doctrines as those
enunciated by the man who is so sig
nally doing up the chosen champion Of
the men guilty of the crime of '73.

STUCK ON HIMSELF.

| Mr.. Harvey has shown his good sense
by ignoring Horr's bombast about his
| own personal career. 1t is character
istic Of all the talk and writings Of Sir.
Horr that everything must be inter
lined with references to himself. Ii
| was so in the Horr-Stewart debate.
1t sticks out of every line published in
the New York Tribune. 1t seems a
kind of all consuming fire which de-
stroyS the Dith and marrow of all he
attempts TO write or speak for the
| public. 1t is certainly a weakness
that is objectionable in one who essays
| to teach and guide his readers in the
| dictatorial manner which he adopts.
| Of what possible concern is it TO the
readers Of this debate that Mr.. Horr
was raised on 4 farm? Who cares
whether he became a bank president
or a member Of congress from the
pine forests of Michigan? What Is it
to the public that he droolS out his
: weekly grist of what ne is instructed
and paid to say in New York paper:
vanity he would see at once that, in
this debate he and his antagonist are
the mere representatives OF the two
sides TO the silver question. He would
know that it is the history and the
facts bearing upon the question which
the people want.
1t is no compliment to the public 10
| attempt 10 create sympathy by exhib-
iting his horny hands, or parading his
poverty after having served his time
in congress. He did nothing more
than his duty if he proved himself in
corruptible. That much is taken for
granted while he stands unimpeached.
1t is not personalities, but points, which
viii be considered in this discussion.
II is not personal abue, or cowardly
imputationS as to the veracity of his
opponent, but solid, well-supported ar
gumenS, which are to determine the
merits of the debate, and the sooner
Mr.. Horr gets down off the gaily capar-
isoned steed, rugged out for him by his
goldbug hackers, and confines himself
TO the discussion by the rules agreed
upon in advance, the sooner he will
raise himself to the level of his adyer-
sary as fair DICTATOR
In speaking for publication he is talk
ing to the world. M Horr will find
that this embraces ybody-the
highest tribunal that could be called
to sit upon any question. \ jury COM
posed of everybody is eXacting, unre-
lenting and unmerciful Neither SYM
patty, sentiment nor special pleading
will go in the makeup of its verdict.
Up to date the verdict is that this oracle
of the plutocrats has wasted much of
his time, and thrown away a liberal
portion Of his allotment Of 10000 words
in worse than puerile attempts to dodge
the real issues of the debate M
Harvey has steadily held to the text.
The published report of the discus
sion will show the merits of the de-
bate, regardless of the issues involved.
