The Nicaragua canal bill now before
the senate of the United States is much
more important 10 the welfare of Texas
than one would suppose on cursory con
sidcration of the matter. IL that canal
is bsilt ports and harbors along the Tex
as Gulf coast will become necessity to
the general commerce of the United
States that will force their construction
whether or not Texas makes any effort
in that behalf.
Not only would the commerce of the
middle and western states feel the ncccs-
sity of such outlets to their vast products,
but nctway of railways would gridiron
the whole state with trunk lines of rail
roads. There is nothing that will excite
more interest in Texas than the fate OF
the Nicarauguan canal bill. Speed the
day of its passage, says The Statesman.

The duties and responsibilities OF
secretary of state are too heavy for Sen
ator Sherman, and we believe that the
consensus of opinion is that Mr.. Nc
Kinley has made serious mistake N
selecting him for that position. Senator
Sherman, il is said by those who know
best, has perccptibly failed physically us
well as mentally in the last few years,
and will not bring to bear the mental and
moral strength that was his wont to do
in q former cabinet position. However,
his selection. we suppose, was for the pur-
pose of paying political debt to Mark
Hanna. Mr.. Sherman's acceptance of
this appointment will leave vacancy in
the senate from Ohio that it is understood
win be peculiarly acceptable to Mark
Hanna. This thing of using official
patronage TO pay political debts is abused
in both high and low degree. Some Of
the most obnoxious men even TO COM
mon honesty, are often imposed upon Il
people In an official capacity for work in
a canvass. Mark Hanna does not come
into this extreme category, but that he
is Objectionable to the sentiment of the
republican party is quite obvious. How
ever. when men are given place for doing
dirty work for party, the custom of re-
warding such men as Mark Hanna for
doing such valuable service TO the incom-
ing president can not be regarded as re-
preheusible.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Powder Magazine Ignited- Timely Warn
ing Saved Many Lives.

Mobile, Ala. Jan. 19.-I.ate this even
ing fire broke out in the planning mill of
the Dixie Lumber company's extensive
establishment at Magazine Point six
miles north of this city between the
Louisville and Nashville railway tracks
and the river. In half an hour it had en-
velupcd the major portion of the mill and
set fire to Il powder magazine containing
200 kegs of powder and six cases of dy
Mantle, which exploded with terrific
report and wrecked every house within
II radius Of quarter of mile. Through
previous warning all the mill hands and
spectators had put a respectable distance
between themselves and the magazine,
and no one was killed, although one or
two men were hurt by flying debris and
may die.
The total loss, including residential
property. can not be- short of $4,000.
