attack her possessions in East India, so
would we assert our right in case of war
to control the Nicaragua canal against
any power that desired 10 use it to send
warships to attack the Pacific Coast.
While the situation remains as it is it is
not easy to predict the next step which
will be taken in the project. The very
fact, however, that the Senate left in the
appropriation bill sum of money to pro-
vide for new survey makes it certain
that the Senators have confidence in the
ability of Secretary Sherman to arrange
terms for speedy beginning OF the con-
struction of the work. The outlook there
fore may be considered encouraging. and
it is within the limits of probability that
the Mckinley administration, which is so
thoroughly in harmony with all Amerl-
can ideas, may provide way for the be-
ginning OF the enterprise, and 60 far to-
ward carrying it 10 completion.

WORK FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.

The movement now started to provide
work for the unemployed in this City is
most timely in every respect and deserves
the most liberal support from all citizens.
1t promises good results not only to the
workingmen to whom it will give employ
ment, but to the community generally,
and is in the truest sense public enter
prise rather than charity.
The proposed boulevard, for which the
Spring Valley Water Company and ex-
Mayor Sutro have given broad right OF
way, will provide San Francisco with
driveway not inferior to the most noted N
the world. Its construction will be
benefit by giving employment TO many
who need it, and its completion will be an
advantage to the City which it is hardly
possible to overrate. Its usefulness Will
increase as the years pass and 1t Will
eventually become one OF the noted at
fractions of the City.
The movement in this City is timely
moreover because it accords with the
aspirations of The people and will be s.
part and parcel of that great National
policy which the new administration is TO
carry out. The platform on which Nc
by himself in the terse statement that he
advocated for the American people IAN
honest dollar and the chance to earn il"
The new administration will pursue
policy radically different from the old.
Its chief aim will be TO provide opportu-
mites for labor and work for the workers.
Its mission will be the same as that which
has been undertaken in this City to pro-
vide work and good wages for the unem-
ployed.
The beginning Of an administration de-
voted 10 such policy constitutes an epoch
in our history so different in its nature
from that through which we have just
passed that it rightly deserves the title
given to it by the people, "a new era"
1t will be period in which legislation will
be directed to the end of opening Ameri-
can factories, developing American re-
sources, expanding American commerce,
providing profits for American capital
and assuring work and wages for Ameri-
can skill, energy and industry.
No policy, either civic or National, can
be better than that which aims to provide
work for the American people. The lack
of employment i'm plies something more
than enforced idleness. 1t carries destitu-
tion into the homes, ruin to debtors, and
distress to all. A policy OF abundant
work means'the upbuilding of the home
as well as of the Republic. 1t means
prosperity and comfort by the fireside as
well as grandeur and wealth at the Ma
tional capital. 1t is most appropriate,
therefore, that this season which inaugur-
ates the beginning OF an administration
pledged to promote American industry
should be marked by municipal move
ment directed to the same end. Every
citizen who can afford to do so should
give such assistance as he can to the
undertaking. Let US provide work for the
workers. Let us see to it that in San
Francisco no industrious man has his
home destitute because be cannot find the
labor which he is willing to perform.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

In the appropriation bill as agreed to by
the Senate in the closing hours of its
session on Thursday morning the appro-
priation OF $3.50, 900 for new survey of the
Nicaragua canal remains. This implies
that the new administration is expected
to revise the work of the Cleveland ad-
ministration on this subject and to begin
the great enterprise anew.
From the representations made to the
from the Greater Republic OF Central
America, it is evident that the continuance
of the project in regard to the canal will
be IL the hands of the State Department
rather than OF Congress The opposition
shown by the Greater Republic transfers
the project to the field of diplomacy, and
until some treaty can be arranged, nothing
can be done by this Government unless
the United States should resolve to do it
by force.
Fortunately for the country the new
Secre lary OF State is John Sherman. He
is known 10 be favorable to the enterprise,
and can be relied upon to exert his ener-
gies to obtain from the Central American
Republic terms which will admit the con-
struction of the canal by the money of
the United States and under the control of
the United States. Certainly this Govern
ment will never consent that the canal
should be opened except under our control.
As Great Britain asserts the right to close
the SueZ canal TO any foreign power,

THE CAUSE OF CUBA.

The measures taken by the Cuban relief
committee OF this City to call mass
meeting assure the success of that assem-
bly,. The cause itself is popular not only
by reason Of American sympathy with the
Cuban patriots, but by its essential JUS
tice, and by the further fact that the
rights OF American citizens in Cuba seem
10 be inseparably bound up with the pa
triotic cause by the despotic course pur-
sued by the Spanish authorities in deal
ing with Americans who are suspected of
sympathizing with the patriots.
In addition to this the mass meeting
will be rendered interesting TO the people
because it will be addressed by some of
the most eloquent orators and eminent
citizens of the community. 1t will there.
fore have abundant claims on public at
tention and will assuredly be thorough
manifestation of the sentiments of the
people of San Francisco. The date for
the mass-meeting has been fixed for the
18th, providing Metropolitan Hall can be
obtained for that day. At any rate the
meeting will be he'd as early as possible,
in order that San Francisco may promptly
add her weight to that of her sister cities
in the Union In promoting the cause of
the Cuban patriots and asserting the
rights of American citizens who have SUI.
fered from Spanish despotism and tyr.
amy.
1t Is altogether right that this should be
so. When all other cities of the Union
have spoken it would be discredit to San
Francisco if her voice should be silent,
and there can be no question that every
genuine American in the City will be glad
OF the opportunity to attend a meeting
called Tor that purpose, and give utteraace
to his approval OF this declaration of
American sympathy for the Cuban pa
triots and American determination 10
protect all citizens OF the United States in
foreign lands.
1t is hardly necessary to say more at
this time than to call attention to the
proposed meeting. In due time the date
finally fixed will be announced and the
names OF the speakers who are to deliver
the addresses will be given. When this is
done 1t goes without saying the people
will arrange their affairs so that they can
be present at the meeting without fail.
Reports from Cuba have made it certain
that American citizens nave suffered
grievous wrong from the Spanish officials
in the island, and every American we'll
understands how important it is that
these wrongs should be redressed. More
over the people know that they have now
in the Office of President of the United
States man who is thorough accord with
public sentiment, who sympathizes with
every impulse OF the people and who is
resolute to uphold the dignity of the Re.
public. To what the people speak he will
attend. The mass-meeting therefore will
be something more than a display of ora
tory. 1t will be an encouragement to
President Mckinley to go forward and en-
force foreign policy which shall be for
eign in name only and truly American in
every respect.

train from Chicago over the Burlington
road to Denver. is at the Palace. Mr..
Mayham was at Fort Wayne when he got
the news that his son was dying. He
Immediately wired for a special train from
Chicago.
An engine which had just come IN over
the road was got in time and the general
superintendent proffered his own car.
Snow had been falling and the outlook
was unpropitious for making the fast time
desired. Mr.. Mayham wanted guar
antee that he would reach Denver, dis
tance OF 1025 miles, in twenty-fcur hours.
He could not exact this promise, but he
was assured that it would be the quickest
trip by far that ever was made.
And il was. From the time that the
wheels began to turn out of the union
depot till it reached the base of the Rocky
Mountains the pace was something fright
full to contemplate. The entire distance
was compassed in 1888 minutes, or little
less than nineteen hours. OF this eighty
six minutes were occupied at different sta
tions in taking on water and supplies ana
changing ana olung engines. Inc actual
running time was 1047 minutes, and the
rate of speed was within a fraction OF
ffty-nine miles an hour OH the average,
or almost mile minute.
In its trip to the base of the Rockies the
train climbed a height of one mile. Mr..
Mayham says the ride was in all respects
wild one. The engine and car in many
places swayed to and fro as If flying
through space.
Where sharp turns were made the sway
ing was enough to make ones hair turn.
Across q part of Illinois and over nearly
all of Iowa the surface Is undulating, so
that it was a terrible pace TO keep up.
Take it all in ALL for the great distance
and the time in which the feat was done,
it was the greatest speed ever attained.

miles north of Elko. He will visit the

UNEMPLOYED" GoLD.DIGGERs.

The plan of providing store of unlimited
work for the unemployed by sending them to
the mining regions to dig gold is being ac-
lively considered by some people connected
with the Labor Bureau and with the mining
industry, and will likely be matter of public
discussion very soon.
This solution OF the standing problem of the
unemployed in California seems easy, cheap,
faultless and yet beset with difficulties that
make i: seem almost impracticable. The plan
ought to be carried out at once, and likely
never will be.
