THE bill pledging the faith of the United
States to the construction of the Nicaragua
Canal passed the Senate last week by the
decisive vote of 81 yeas to 81 nays. 1t was
the termination of debate which has lasted
since the present session of Congress began.
The bill in brief directs the issue of $40 ,000,-
600 Nicaragua Canal bonds, guaranteed b,
the United States government. An addi-
tioual $50, 600 of bonds is to be issued
without the Federal guarantee. The Secre-
tary of the Treasury is to have general su-
pervision of the project. The U. s. is to re-
ceive 10000, 900 of the Canal Company stock
in return for guaranteeing the bonds, and is
TO hold a mortgage lien on all the property
Of the company. Such, in brief, is the plan
by which 1t is proposed to open a waterway
between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The
importance to this country from the realiza
ton of this great project is almost inestima-
BILE. 1t would open up communications and
establish relations between this country and
the whole of Central and South America that
by all the laws Of geographical position and
commercial reckOnings should exist between
the two continents. Again, it will be of in
calculable beneftto California and the entire
Pacific coast, opening up an avenne for trade
aud commercial interchange between the
East. and the West that will benefit every
citizen of the country. Provided the con-
s.ruction Of such a canal is practicable, and
the plan is reasonably safe from jobs. "
we are inclined to favor it. One thing is
certain, the interests of the United States
demand such water way, and further, that
il be under American control

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes
pure, rich blood, and to gain in blood is
nearly always to gain in seholesODze flesh up
to the healthy standard.
Every one should have a certain surplus
of flesh to meet the emergencies of sick
ness ; to resist the attack of consumption,
grip, malaria and fevers. Thin blooded
people are always getting sick, and none of
the organs of the body can get along with
out the food they require for work which is,
pure blood. To gain and to keep strength
and flesh is the secret of health, usefulness
and happiness. With new blood and re-
freshed nerves a confident feeling of return
ing health comes also.
Nervous manifestations, such as sleep
1essness, nervous debility and nervous
prostration are in nine cases out of ten 1.-The
cry of the starved nerves for food" If you
feed the nerves on pure rich blood the
nervous symptoms will cease. It is bad
practice to put the nerves to sleep with So
called celery mixtures, coca compounds or
malt extracts what is needed is a blood
maker. The " Discovery" is composed of
vegetable ingredients which have an es-
pecial effect upon the stomach, liver, and
blood making glands. For the cure of
dyspepsia, indigestion, liver complaint,
weakened vitality, and for puny, pale peo-
pie, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry cannot be equaled. Thousands have
testified to its merits.

THE Federal income tax has been declared
constitutional by the Equity Court of the
District of Columbia, and the suit brought by
Moore, the sugar trust broker, to enjoin the
Government from collecting the tax for
which he is liable, has, as the Cleveland
Leader says, received bad set back.
OF course the case will be appealed to the
Supreme Court of the United States, but in
the face of the previous decisions made by
that tribunal on this question, the chances
for departure from its judicial holdings
are very remote indeed.
Our position respecting the moral equity
of the measure, is well known, and we regard
it as matter of congratulation to the people
of the United States that the wholesome en-
actment has such a favorable outlook for its
legal vindication.
There is no question whatever as to its
ethical justness, and in all likelihood its
legal character will be sustained.
For that one law alone the present admin
istration of Grover Cleveland will go down
in history as one of the best the country ever
experienced. Its signifcation lies in its be-
ing one of the pioneer measures designed tC
prevent the unequal distribution of wealth
and secure the equalization of burdens, the
bulk of which is now borne by the toilers OF
the realm

manifest.
The older chorus then returned to the stage
and the little folks resumed their places in
the audience. ''The Ransomed of the Lord, "
chorus, was followed by "Twilight Bells" "
from the ever welcome Ladies Quartette.
The Male Quartette then sang There was a

the expenses of the Behring Sea commission
appointed by President Harrison, and the
cost to the United States of carrying out the
Joint treaty between the United States, Great
