the respective distances from England
by the two routes are, to Melbourne
10000 and 1850 miles; to Hong
Kong. $500 and 3.55c; to Shanghai.
| 10.700 and 12,750 miles; and even to
Yokohama, II, ,740 and IL, $50. To New
Zealand, indeed the distance from Eng
land will be curtailed by the Nicaragua
route, but only to the extent of 650
| miles.
| Wha. is much more noteworthy than
the superiority OF the Suez waterway
from an English point of view, is the
fact that the route around the Cape of
Good Hope has very little to fear from
| the completion of the Nicaragua Canal.
! With respect to only four of the above
| named places in Asia and Australia
| will the cutting of the Nicaraguan
isthmus affect any saving Of mileage
over the Cape route. 1t will shorten
the voyage to Hong Kong by $50 miles:
that to New Zealand by 1850 miles;
that to Shanghai by 1850 miles, and
that to Yokohoma by $3.50 miles. On
the other hand the Cape voyage to
!, Melburne will be shorter than that via
Nicaragua by 1850 miles; to Singa-
pore by 1900 miles; to Calcutta by
1900 miles; to Colombo by 1900 miles,
and to Bombay by nearly 5000 miles.
Thus, neither in peace time, nor war
time, that is to say. neither when the
Suez Canal is open, nor when British
vessels are compelled to revert to their
old route around the Cape of Good
Hope, can the Nicaragua Canal be e.:
pected to secure any material part of
the trade between England and her
subjects and customers in the east.
According to the Saturday Rev,eao,
a liberal estimate of the traffic to be
counted upon by the Nicaragua Canal
would place 1t at 100000 tons, or less
than half the amount anticipated by
the promoters of the new waterway.
But these figures are arrived at through
the assumption that passenger steam
ers plying from London to Valparaiso
and Callao will prefer to keep to the
route around Cape Horn, because they
have been in the habit of stopping at
Brazilian and La Plata ports. This
seems no less Improbable than the ad-
ditional hypothesis that freight-carry
ing vessels between New York and
San Francisco will continue to perform
the perilous Cape Horn voyage after
the Nicaragua isthmus shall have been
pierced.
We trust, however, that the British
Foreign Office may be convinced by
the arguments of the SATURDAY Rerie,O
that Nicaragua canal will be Of NO
commercial Importance to England.
Americans, for their part. are willing
to take the risk of drawing from it an
income commensurate to it's cost, tor
they know that on strategic grounds
alone such canal would be of ines
timable value to this country.-N. Y.

sENA TOR oUAY,s PERIL.

There are few men in public life more sto-
zeal In temperament than Matthew Stanley
Quay. Senator of the United States from
Pennsylvania. He has probably weatherei
more political storms than any other politi-
clan in the country. Often when he seemed
upon the verge ofpolitical ldestructionie, by
the most surprising fiDcsse, put his oppo-
nents to rout.
Years ago, when Quay had held one lucra-
tive and honorable. office after another by
appointment he was assailed with the taunt
that he dare not go before the people as a
candidate for an elective office. He re-
sponded by nominating himself for State
treasurer, and was elected by more than
the usual Republican majority of that year.
Since that time he has been repeatedly
elected TO office, twice by the legislature
TO the United States Senate, and In the latter
body was an advocate of an amendment to
the national constitution providing for the
election of Senators by popular vote.
Through all The vicissitudes which beset
him, and when his future seemed to be
hopeless, Senator Quay smiled his Sc
cretive, confident, stoical smile; but it is !,
now evident that he Is in dire distress. \
The opposition of this time has angered

AGAIN AND AGAIN.

After the accidents and narrow escapes
from accidents of the last week or two
among the river boats, 1t is almost astound-
ing that such a collision as that OF the
steamer City of Richmond with a schooner
anchored at the wharf should occur, as de-
scribed in The Times this morning. No
explanation can be imagined, except that
of the grossest carclessness on the part of
the officers of the steamer. Such care
lessness seems to be contagious. No sooner
is one incident of the kind recorded than
another happens, and those who patronize
these steamers may well wonder what will
be the next Illustration OF Incompetence
or negligence.
Owners of these vessels should see to it,
both for their own and for the public good
that some change be made in the person
ality of those who handle their property.
That greater damage to life and vessels
has not occurred is due more to good luck
than good management. Yet it is remark
able that those i'll control appear TO at
tach little importance to these fearfully
narrow avoidances of disaster. and hotly
resent criticisms which are intended for
their own benefit as well as for the benefit
of their patrons. Sudden and radical re-
form is demanded.
The evening times., 1895-08-27
AN UNFAIR ORDER.

The Washington & Georgetown Street
Railroad management have issued an order
to conductors and gripmen directing them
to bring their trains to a full stop for pas
sengers TO get on and off their cars. This
is simply what every employe of the road
desires to do, and such an order must seena
to be wholly unnecessary. Condu ctors
and gripmen show themselves TO be gentle
men, almost without exception. in their re-
sponsible and exceedingly trying position.
They have no tendency to main or murder
by brutal manipulation of their cars.
One thought, however, must occur to
any one who has a thinker that the con-
ductors and gripmen cannot compel pas
sengers TO wait for the stoppage of the cars.
Many people have sort of insane impulse
to jump on or off vehicle while it is in
motion. Some men and women of abso-
lutte leisure act as though they must always
rush at utmost speed TO get somewhere,
even when they can't tell where the Some
where is. If they he injured, they throw
2e blame upon the railroad employees.
Much more important is the conflict of this
order with that rule which requires con-
ductors and gripmen to make their trips
within limited time, and visits upon them
. severe penalty if they fail The most or
binary justice would suggest some modi-
ncation of this order, in view of unavoidable
Selay at times, or, at the very least, the ac-
e,ptance of n reasonable explanation, and
not in every case rigid application of an
tron-clad rule.

ITS STEADY GROWTH.

Reports from every part OF America make
# apparent that the observance of tho
coming Labor Day will be more general and
enthusiastic than ii has been during several
recent years. 1t is compliment and not
an adverse criticism to say that the labor
movement, as it is called in broad phrase,
seemed to be apathetic for n period. This
was due in some sense TO discomfort with
the course ofleaders, who doubtless thought
they were acting for the best interest of
their respective orders, but i'll larger de-
gree, il was a result of an advance of
thought and conviction beyond the lines
upon which the organizations were orig
inaIly-formed.
Within the last year or two the masses
have come up to the standpoint of this
progressive and advanced intellectual
leadership. The radicalism of the past
is the conservatism of to-day. A new
coalition of factions which disagreed while
honestly striving for common purpose is
evident, and almost without a break they
who are thinking and working for pernIa-
nent bettering of the life of the employed
classes are uniting to make this Labor
Day Il memorable one.
No student of the evolution of thought
in the field of Industrial economy can fail
to recognize that the labor movement is one
of steady growth, always exhibiting an
advance ofintelligencc, increase of strength,
clearness of purpose, commencing itself
more and more even TO those most practical
minds who have looked upon it as having
for its foundation impossible ideals.

RANsoM's REAPpoINTMENT.

The strange fate which overlook Mr..
Ransom, minister to Mexico by the grace
of Mr.. Cleveland, and minister at no time
to no place by the fiat of Treasury nd judi
ciary officials, has excited ontiuued
and incessant sympathy and commisera-
ton.
Mr.. Ransom has been hanging in the air,
as it were. He oscillated like pendulum
between Washington and Gray Gables in an
agony of wonder how the President could
fish while Mexico lacked an envoy.
Therefore the news that Mr.. Ransom has
been reappointed to the position which for
several months he imagined he was filling,
but was not, will be received with nivcrsal
applause.
Mr. Re nsom is not a gentleman OF wealth.
He came forth from the late war in con-
dition which beset too many of the leaders
of the South whose State pride md enthu
siasm led them into a losing contest His
life n the Senate was honorable and con-
genial, hut not lucrative. The whiriigig
of politics which ousted him from that high
place was an apparent peciniary blessing,
BuI ne hpl Only W
office and salary, but actually owing the
government the money which he drew from
the Treasury before the officials who watch
the outgo of government kopecks discovered
that the supposed minister was not legally
entitled to place or pay.
The City of Mexico. the court of the Moute-
Zumas. If that unrepublican phrase be ad-
missible asked for Mr.. Ransom with avoice
bordering upon command. The unwa-
vering dignity, the uncompromising dipio
matte reserve, the unimpea chable ele-
gance of the man, cried for speedy recogni-
ton. Above all his curious and unprece
dented fate urged Mr.. Cleveland to drop
his rod and allow his reel to rest for a
moment while he took up his pen to write
the reappointment of the eminent citizen of
the Old North State.

All the city seems deserted
Every street and park and square
Where the fair Diana fiirted,
And where Laura took the air.
'Tis the sad, the somber season,
Fancies turn TO sere and brown;
And should you inquire the reason
'Tis that Cupid's out of town!
By the sands and by the sl1ingle,
And where springs a-sparkiing flow,
In the lonely mountain dingle
Where the rarest wild flowers blow,
He Is mapping like rover,
Seeking fields of new renown
All the wide, wide country over
Tricksy Cupid's out of town!
Woe is ME, who still must tarry,
Slave to iron circumstance,
While the maid whom would marry
Treads afar the lightsome dance!
There Youth, hand in hand with Pleasure
Blthely foots it up and down;
Here there's mourning without measure
For Dan Cupid's out of town!
