GoULD's RoYALIsT DAUGHTER

Americans will not greatly relish the spectacle of the young Countess de Castellane, Anna Gould that was, marching at the head of the Jeunesse Royaliste of France, shouting "Vive PArmce!' and "Down with the Republicw
 The former Miss Gould knows better than to behave III this way. She was born and bred in re. public under whose generous laws her father was enabled to amass his vast fortune. If she stops to think she must acknowledge that the Jeunesse Royallste would not touch her with the tips of its aristocratic fingers but for the money her father made in demo- cratic country. In her soul she must have felt out of place at the head of decadcnt nobility insult ing a good and sturdy democrat like Loubet.
 Jay Gould's daughter has not the excuse of the Royalists for her outbreak at the Auteuil races. She was not swayed by inherited tra- ditions. The pride of blood was not in her. Fidelity to the principle of 'noblesse oblige" In her case should have placed her on the side of the Republic. Her father was not ashamed of having sold rat traps on the streets of New York. He had no cause to be. But hls daughter has cause to be heartily ashamed of her make believe nobility on the streets of Paris St. Lotus Republic.

IN PRAISE OF AMERICA.

We have been furnished by Dr. J. w. Livingston with copies of the Huron Expositor, published at Seaforth, Canada. It is an ably edited journal and appears to be quite interested in the affairs of this country having several articles both m praise and in criticism.
 From an editorial entitled ''Thc United States and Cuba" we clip the following words of praise:
 "That the American authorities are doing a good work in re- generating Cuba seems to be the opinion of all who have inquired into matters there since the close of the war. They found the people of that country in a state of starvation and destitution; the country devastated by long con tinucd war between the natives and the Spaniards and the whole fertile country a desolate waste. In the short space of one year great change has been made. The towns which were reeking with filth and disease, occasioned by the unsanitary conditions which existed, have been thoroughly purged and cleaned and put into fairly sanitary condition; the starving natives have been fed and have also been given employment in order that they may be in position to help themselves. In addition to this, q satisfactory system of military and municipal government has been established. in which worthy natives have been given a voice; schools for the young have been established and are being chcerfully availed of, and many useful industries have been set going, having for their object the improvement of the condition of the impoverished and disease stricken and long op. pressed natives. That these efforts in their behalf are appreciated by those in whose interest they have been lnaugurated is evident from the action of the people them selves"

'---- --------- BUILD THE CANAL.

The Nicaragua canal commission has reached the conclusion that the proposed inter-oceapic canal will only cost Sl1S,000, ,000, which is a very moderate sum, after the benefits from the construction of the great waterway are taken into consideration. The revenue from the canal in a few years would be sufficient to pay for all the cost of construction. The government can lose nothing by taking hold of this enterprise and pushing it to com pletion. Congress. at its next session, should provide for the commencement of tho work as

heavier burdens upon the people, and besides such tax when levied, would fall upon the rural districts and people of moderate means, cxempting those who do not use oil. To solve the problem the people will have to take possession of the system established by the Rockcfellers and operate it for the benefit of the people by supplying oil at prices to cover cost and ex- penses, employing present man. agers at good salaries to operate the SyStcm.
