The United States Must Build the Nicaragua
CanaI-Negro Labor Advised
LONDON. Oct. 27.--The Times this
morning has column article on the
Nicaraguan canal from correspondent
lately there, who says 1t is clear the pre-
jecr cannot be carried through as a pri-
vate undertaking, but that it must be un-
der the auspices of some strong govern
ment which without doubt must be the
United States. He is convinced the cost
Will be nearer ESQ, COO. 200 than $50, 000.-
900. 1t is useless to suppose, he adds,
tnat the government of the states of
Central America will be able to supply
the necessary labor. The true source OF
labor. he thinks will undoubtedly be the
West Indies, negro labor being far supe-
rior to Chinese.

.Japanese Varnish

A Japanese furniture polish, said to BIZ
exceptionally valuable, is prepared by
mixing we'll together one pint of linseod
oil, one pint of strong cold ,ea, the whites
of two eggs and two ounces of spirits of
salts. When thoroughly combined pour
into bottle, which must be shaken each
time before the polish is used. Make a
pad of soft linen, pour on few drops of
liquid, rub we'll over the article to be
polished and finish the process with an
old silk handkerchief or dry chamois
skin. The japanese use their fine paper
both as polisher and fifst applier.

Some insufferable scoundrel in Pstaluma a
is amusing himself with the wanton pois-
oping of valuable dogs probably in emu
lation OF similarly minded creature
who recently operated in this vicinity.
The man who will, out of sheer wsntonness
or motives of revenge, destroy unoffend-
ing domestic animals, is possessed of the
instincts, though lacking the courage. of
murderer. To he the latter he needs
but sufficient opportunity and certain i'm
munity from detection. There has been
altogether too much of the sort of work
now under way at Petaluna in California
of late, and the various organizations in
terested in the protection of the lower
animals should unite in an effort to run
down and adequately punish the per-
parrators of the outrages.

No Democrat can fail to be inn
pressed with the passage from the
speech of Judge Hcckncr, temporary
chairman Of the kentucky Demo-
cratic convention, Tuesday:
II heard man say once: "Whv
cannot the Democrats act in harmony
as the Republicans did? We're not
built that way. The Republican
convention was dictated by boss.
We have no collars about our neck. "
That is the difference. Democrats
wear no collars: they won t submit to
dictatlon inside the party: they will
quarrel among themselves if they
want to and nobody can hinder them:
they can be boSscd. When Vance
and Settle spoke in Charlotte in 1876
party feeling ran high and at times
some of Vance 5 followers were very
noisy. They annoyed Judge Settle
greatly and Governor Vance tried.
almost unavalingly, to keep them
within bounds, and in response to Il
direct appeal from judges Settle to

The wagon contained rwo barrels and

County Executive Committee con-
vention was held here last Monday
to discuss the best mode Of bring
ing in candidates for the Constitu-
tional Convention before the pri-
mary. The convention was COM
posed of delegates sent up by the
townships,
Immediately after the sheriff $
sales the delegates assembled in the
court house. Mr.. G. III. Pcakc, aS
chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee called the meeting to or
der and stated the object Of the
meeting. Mr.. J. W. Gregory was
then called to the chair as temporary
chairman and MIR. j. Nj. Greer was
elected temporary secretary. Roll
Cf delegates Was called and eighty
ore found to be present. The tenn
porary officers were elected us per
manent officers of tho convention -
On motion Of Mr.. u. Walton Whit

from each township, whose duty it
was to hear and considcr any rcSolu-

and to submit to the convention with
their endorsement such resolutions as
they might approve. The committee
then retired to hear resolutions.
While they We're out Mr.. VIM. Mum

From The State

take legal proceedings to stop the
running of Sunday excursion trains
and the offering of the cheap Sunday
excursion tickets by railroads doing
business in this State.
1t seems that the laws of the State
forbid the running of special excur-
sion trains on Sunday, or cf any
train other than a regular mail train.
1t is also claimed by the State au-
thorltics that the railroads have no
right to offer special round trip
Sunday excursion rate. Attorney
General Barber says his attention
has been called to this matter, and
he would have taken it up last week
had he not been obliged to 90 to
Washington. lie says that he now
intends to proceed at once to bling
the matter up and have the laws com
piled with.
1t is generally conceded that the
State has right TO prevent the run
nmg of special excursion trains on
Sunday Ok roads running only in
this State, but it is thought that
the State will have some difficulty in
stopping the sale ofcheap round trip
tickets on Sundays. Ii is also doubted
If the running OF special trains from
this State into another State can he
stopped.
lfthc running otthe special trains
to the coast and the sale of cheap
tickets be stopped the general public
will suffer greatly and will have
cause for regret.
