The evening times., 1896-03-30

Col. William Ludlow, once upon time
Engineer Commissioner of the District and
now military attache of the United States
legation in London. is iunketing all over
the Old World inspecting the great canals,
with u view to furnish some Official au
thority in this country with information
that may serve to determine the feasibility
of the Nicara qua Canal and determine he at
titGde OF our government with reference to
a subsidy. Col. Ludlow has seen the suez
Canal. which is yielding princcly revenues:
the Baltic and North Sea Canal. the COrinth
Canal, the Dutch canal system and several
others, and he is more emphatic than ever
in his declaration that the Nicaragua enter
prise is brilliant possibility. This in
face Of the adverse report OF a commission
of distinguished engineers, who, it is true.
did not look at the European and African
waterways, but went over the route OF the
proposed Nicaragua Canal, expressed grave
doubts as to its feasibility ard were quite
sure that II could not be built within the
estimate.
In the meantime. however, while Col
Ludlow is touring, presumably at govern
ment expense, to gather data respecting
what is private enterprise, ex-senator
Warner Miller, president OF the Nicaragua
Canal Company, has appeared before the
House Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce. and surprised the members of
that committee by the statement that
the company has never sought any aid from

Police Duty and Police Pay.

Over 10 per cent Of the police force Of
the District are on detached duty. That
is, they are unavailable for the work which
the police force of n city is generally sup
posed To do. Seventy-right pat roimen and
OTHER members of the force are detailed for
duty at the White HOusc, Capitol Grounds
workhoGse, ON the harb0r beat and differ
cnt other pla ceS that ought to have proper
number Of watchmen for al necessary
purposes. Even If the local police force were
quitcas large as il ought to he, none of the
men should he diverted from their legi innate
duties and assigned to work elsewhere.
If the seventy-eight men thus detailed
at present were added TO the patrolling
contingent, persons and property in all
parts of the city would enjoy greater pro-
tcct ion to Just that extent. Complain tscoinc
from all sections, even those centrally sit
uatcd, that policcmcn's visits on the re-
spective beats are like angels visits, few
and far between. Ii is probably not the
fault OF the men; they get about as swiftly

A Voice From Spain.

duke declared that Cuban republic "would
mean the triumph of the black race over the
white" OF course, il would mean nothing
of the sort because the controlling element
in Cuba is the while population, and In all
probability will remain; bui even If it were
as Veragua says, the cause of freedom for
which the Cubans are fighting must still
have the sympa Thy of the American people.
Whether black or white, their deliverance
from Spanish oppression would still com
mand the moral il not the physical support
of the United States.
1t is also contended that recognition as
belligercnis should not be granted, be
cause the insurgents have no organized
army or seaport" Judging from the fact
that the Spaniards have been unable to
make any material hcadway against the
insurgents in more than u year, in spite
of forces superior in numbers and equip
ment, and that the rebels are landing ex-
petlitions aud arms whenever it is neccs-
sary, the. objection does not appear to lie
well taken. Besides, in only two or three
provinces is Spanish authority recognized
and even there its hold is extremely weak.
In fact, outside of the city OF Havana it
is only upheld by Spanish guns and Spanish
Oayonets.
Home rule, says the Duke of Veragua,
would he granted if the wiz were ended.
Why has there been no home rule during
all the years that preceded the present
struggle? Home RUE would have satisfied
the Cubuns at one time. Now, they want
independence, and they will get 1t.

How Is This?

Congress: has never asked the United States
to assume control of the canal; has never
asked for any legislation of any sort in
connection with or relating TO the project.
In fact he minated that the company has
quite "A grievance against Congress for
meddiing with the matter, because this in
reference and the anticipation that the
United States would take control. has made
it impossible 10 negotiate for funds with
foreign investors.
Now, this is a cruel blow to Mr.. Miller's
former colleagues, especially senator Nor
gan. and numerous members of the present
and former Houses of Representatives who
have earnestly and persistently cbampiOned
the cause of the canal and urged that the
United States should guarantee the bonds
of The canal company to the amount or
SlO0,oUo.000 and assume control OF tile
waterway. 1t is possible that the distin-
guished Alabamian has unwittnely antag-
oniZed the interests of the canal, and has all
this talk in Senate and House In favor OF
the scheme been merely Pickwickian?
If ex-senator Miller is to be believed, there
has been 4 great deal OF previousDess.
But perhaps the Herkimer statesman is
only ''bIufring'' ard seeking to stimulate
action by Congress by a wcll-assumed in
dignation. Howcvcr that mag he. Congress
would better take Mr.. Miller at his word

BENEFIT MASQTERADE.
One VIII BE Given for Protege of Lin

Miss Miller of Anacostia is known as the
protege OF Lincoln Post. q. A. r.. of
this city. She IL u surviving ia lighter Of
the late "Mother' Miller. who was an
army nurse during The war and the only
woman who received Il medal of honor
from Mrs. President Lincoln. While at
the front ministering to the wounded
boys in blue Mother Miller often exposed
herself TO the fire Of the enemy by seeking
The ma tmed soldiers along the very line
of battle and caring for them until they
were removed to the rear. Her reckless
disregard for her own safety while caring
for the helpless resulted in this brave and
humane woman receiving herSlsten wounds

Lincoln heard OF the hattl.-scarred army
nurse and heroine she sent for her and
pinned upon her bosom an appropriately
Inscribed golden medal in the shape OF
heart, which he dounr said was symbolic
OF bravery in the cause Of suffering
humanity.

for in Washington by the ridiculously

Another complaint comes from the po-

two classes. one of which gets fifteen dol

Their duties are identical, and the men

the matter OF their compensation 1t is
suggested that all ncn appointed on the
force ought to serve at lower salary
for period of six months or a year, but
after that date all should be placed upon
the same level. 1t would seem that this
is fair proposition. Certainly, the pres
ent system is c;rlo oulated to engender envy
and bitterness.

Through the medium of the columns of the

lineal descendant of Christopher Columbus,

tender some advice on the subject. He has
some very agrcea ble recollections OF his sta Y

that he has none but kindly feelings for the
American people as a nation. This. Of

and will ask the Board OF Chilircn's Guar.
