NICARAGUA CANAL.
Mr.. joseph NimmO on Its Use In Reach
ing Manila.

MI. joseph Nimmo ON Its Use In Reach-
ing Manila.
As to the point that the Nicaragua
canal, if now completed, would be Of
great use in reaching Manila, Mr.. Jo-
seph Nimmo shows in a recent letter
that it is II, 565 miles from New York
to Manila via the Suez canal and II, TAG
miles via the Nicaragua canal. From
Manila to London it is 8, 900 miles via
the Suez canal and IA, $50 miles via the
Nicaragua canal. The utility of the lat
ter is not therefore so clear. The fact
that the Nicaragua canal involves 220
feet Of lockage and tolls-a serious i'm
pediment for large vessels-adds in
effect Q 1000 miles to the distance via
the Nicaragua canal from New York to
Manila.
For military purposes the canal
would be- useless unless we protect it
from damage by large fleets at both ends
and with soldiers distributed all along
its length. FQr trade it is not much
needed, in view Of the many lines Of
railway we have crossing from the At
lantic to the Pacific. Sailing vessels
could not reach it for want of wind, and
but 800, 900 tons of steam tonnage. Mr..
Nimmo says, would be likely to use it.
The Suez canal, being at the sea level,
will be a successful competitor. -Balti-

Spanish Honor Still Evident.

The intimations that come from Paris
that Spain will resent any effort on the
part of the United States to retain the
city of Manila and the island of Luzon,
and that the Spanish members of the
peace commission will withdraw from
the deliberations of that body in case
that any part of the Philippine islands
is wanted by this country. will strike1a
majority of the people in the United
States as rather amusing. The implied
threat that war will be renewed under
certain circumstances perhaps is prompt
ed through a misunderstanding of the
situation in this country. 1t is true
that a number of the volunteer regi-
ments have been mustered ont and
many of the auxiliary vessels IN the
navy retired from service, but If Spain
is hoping to intimidate President Nc
Kinley. now that the army and navy
have been reduced in strength. that
country never MADE a greater Dlnnder
The inside of the situation is more
likely to be that some of the European
countries imagine that by causing ii
failure of the commissioners to conclude
terms of peace, there will be all oppor-
tunity presented to acquire II portion or
all of the Philippines, and acting from
such a motive have unof1icially been
backing the Spaniards up in the posi-
ton that is now said to have been
taken.
The regular army of this country is
not very large, but the experience in
the past six months has demonstrated
that a considerable force of volunteers
can quickly be put in the field. and be-
fore the peace commissioners will have
time to agree or disagree, the navy will
be REINFORCED by at least three power
full warships, and if they are not enough,
an auxiliary navy can be gotten to-
gether and equipped for effective service
as quickly as it was last May. Unless
Spain has had positive assurances of aid
from some strong nation on the other
side of the water, she would better &C.
cept the terms of peace which the Unit
ed States commissioners have been an
thorized to offer.
A renewal of war with Spain is not
desired hy a single person in the United
States, but If the thrashing already ad.
ministered is not sufficient to convince
Spain that there is nothing to be gained
and much to be lost in acting in a
naughty and hostile spirit, the dose
can be repeated whenever it becomes
necessary,

Blood L. Thicker Than water.


What is the origin of the phrase, "Blood
is thicker than waterr" One historic oc-
casion on which 1t was used was at the
taking Of the Taku forts, when our gun
boat fotilla was very roughly handled by
the Chinese batteries and would have suf-
fered more severely still but for the inter-
vention of Commodore Tatnall, command
ing some American vessels, who could
stand passively by no longer and, exclaim.
ing that blood was thicker than water,
sent some Of his ~bluejackets to the assist
ance Of OUR wounded, II indeed he did not
also wink at the endeayor of his ardent
men to render us more effective service
still.
But Commodore Tatnall was not the
first to use the famous phrase, for it will
be found in Scott. When Dandie Din
mont once rode up to Edinburgh to sec
whether he had profted by a will, but
found that another had been preferred, the
Shock he received contained a Magnani-
nous declaration, which no probably was
not conscious Of having uttered aloud,
'Weel, blude's thicker than water; she's
welcome to the cheeses and hams Just tho
same 1t Is clear, therefore, that Com
modore Tatnall was not the prime author
of the words. But 1t, is the use to which
q phrase Is put more than Its authorship
which gives 1T Immortality. London

Free Silver and Values.

The Democrats of Connecticut have
had enough of free silver and in their
| state convention, held last week, a plat
form was adopted. the financial plank
of which reads: 1.-The Democracy of
Connecticut is now, as it has ever been,
in favor of bimetallism as enunciated by
Jefferson, affording, as it does, the most
stable standard value, and we declare
ourselves unalterably opposed to mono
metallism Of any kind"
While the modern Democrats do not
like to admit the fact, Jefferson vas a
| gold bug of the most pronounced
type. and the u~tterances of the Nutmeg
Democracy will not please the Bryan
| ties a little bit. But the point made by
the plank of the platform is opposed to
monometallism of any kind" The free
silver advocates, in their dreams Of ac-
quiring easy wealth for every man in the
land, seem to have forgotten this very
important matter: That an attempt on
the part of the United States to restore
silver to it's former position as a money
metal. unaided by the other commercial
nations of the world, would result In
being placed in a position where the sill
yer product of the globe would be
thrown into the minis of the country In
exchange for gold, and in a very short
time this government would find itself
carrying all the silver. while the gold
| would have flown to the Golfers of the
nations which retain the gold standard.
| The inevitable result of trading gold for
| silver will be to compel the people to
come to a silver basis. In that event ev-
cry dollars worth Of property would be
| cut in two in value. wages would suffer
the same reduction while the prices of
clothing, groceries and other n~ecessaries
of life would increase in the same ratio.
Unless the principal civilized nations
of the globe consent to the coinage OF
| silver at the ratio of Is to l, there can
not be any other outcome to an attempt
on the part of the United States to en-
gage in the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. Monometallism has a wicked
| sound to many people, but when that
| recommendation is the acknowledged
| standard the world over, with a very
| few exceptions, it will have to be &C
cepted, or else this country will have to
| go to a monetary standard which is dis
| credited in the commercial centers and
| whose adoption would place the richest
| nation on earth on the same plane as
| Mexico and the South American coun-
tries. Those governments can only
maintain their credit outside of their
own lands, by paying obligations IN gold
purchased with silver at the bullion
value of the latter.

To give several Of the South American
republics, notably Chile, Peru and the
Argentine Republic, a few object lessons
in the strength of this country, and i'm
press upon the minds of tho statesmen
of those countries that in the long run
it does not pay to display an ~antagonistic
spirit towards the United States.
To make a naval demonstration before
Constantinople in sufficient force to in
duce the sultan of Turkey TO pay the
claims against that country for the
destruction of American missionary
property during the riots in Armenia.
TIC take a firm stand against Ger
many's encroachments in the Samoan
protectorate and to checkmate the plans
of the emperor for securing a foothold
in the Philippines.
No one will object to a vigorous foreign
policy, in fact the greater number of
Americans will be well pleased to see
this government take a strong stand on
all matters affecting the interests of the
country and the protection of Americans
in foreign lands, but when the anti-ad-
ministration papers declare that the
policy proposed by Colonel Hay is for
political effect regardless of the results
to the country, so far as involving the
government in troubles with foreign ma
tons. the matter is carried too far. Col
onel Hay is too good an American to do
anything which will be injurious, or
which the facts in the case will not bear
out. AS the election approaches the
attacks upon the administration grow
bitter, and ron now until the sth
of November foolish and false charges
of incapacity in official circles may be
expected with persistent frequency.
Lacking an issue with which to 60 be-
fore the people, the Democrats, Populists
and Free Silverites will attempt to make
capital out of every act performed by
Republican officials with the hope OF in
~huencing a few votes.

(Santa Fe, N. M, September ~, 1885,
The weather for the week ending with
September 26 continued warm and dry,
with dry winds. Throughout the terri
tory the sunshine averaged almost 100
per cent. The conditions have been ex-
cellent for finishing up the latest har-
vests, and securing the alfalfa cutting.
Corn cutting, t%hreshing, and in some
localities fall planting, have progressed
very satisfactorily. The later garden
vegetables, as well as the larger tree
fruits, are still abundant in local mar
kets. but melons are nearly gone. In
the vicinity of Bernalillo the later fruits
are lot turning out as well as expected.
Grapes are well ripened, and although
not an unusually large yield, are, as a
rule, quite satisfactory. In northern
parts the bitches are still fairly supplied
with water, but in southern and central
sections water is getting to be quite
scarce, and there is little hopes of the
! streams being ~repleniShed. There Is no
complaint on the condition of stock,
and ranges have held out very we'll, but
some fears are expressed that stsckmen
in northern counties will be obliged to
feed their stock before spring, as the
prospects for winter grass is rather
poor.
The following remarks are extracted
from the reports of correspondents:
Aztec-C. E. Mead-A very dry and

Farmers are fast finishing all harvests.
The third crop of alfalfa has been Sc

Owing to the fact that the county
finances of San Miguel county have
been very skillfully managed for the
past few years for the benefit of a ring
dealing in questionable county paper. it
will be incumbent upon the taxpayers Of
that county, one Of these bright and
breezy New Mexico days, to face and
pay judgments for about $4,000 worth
of overdue and unpaid coupons. When
that day of sorrow and mourning ar
rives, the taxpayers and property own
ers in San Miguel will probably not feel
as very proud of the Union party u
ty officials as the Las Vegas sheet let's

heretofore. In San Miguel county, for
instance, there are several ex-collectors
who are charged with embezzling pub
lie funds and who are not brought to
justice. There are officials and ex-offi-
Gals in that county charged with gross
violations of law and the district attor-
ney makes no efforts to bring the cases
into court. AS long as such things OBJ
tain, New Mexico will have to wait for
statehood. A strict and just admins
tration of law is the first thing neces-
sary, especially in county affairs. Law
breaking county commissioners, collect
ors and assessors should be brought to
justice and then there will be hope for
statehood.

OF all the candidates mentioned by the
Republican press of this territory, there
is one, that for local pride at least, we
should like to see named as that party's
candidate, and that is Colonel G. w.
P%richard, of this place. Geographical
reasons suggest him as the logical can
didate. While we do not think it pos
slble to elect a Republican to congress,
yet Colonel Prichard would make the
strongest race and his location and quail
itications demand as much from his
party.

of the nomination, and if nominated will
be elected by a large majority. This
