applies reverend to weak, erring man
though preacher, though he may not
intend it, detracts from the name OF
God.

Though you amt no Billy Shakespeare, yet

We've had hard times and hghtin' ever since
you wentaway-
And you comes back with prosperlty-do
bring your trunk aud stay.
The jungle and the ocean are his homes;
He's a brother 10 the tiger and the tar.
He can jingle every lingo where he roans;
He can read you heart and tell you what
you are.
He has boxed the writer's compsss-troopers,

And he wipes the earth with everything

Then here's to you, Rudyard Kipling, as you

For Of all the lyin literary crew we loves you

Work on the White Pass railroad in
Alaska is going forward rapidly, and
already the road has been constructed
to the summit Of White Pass, 1000
feet above sea level, and trains are
running to this point from Skaguay.
1t is expected the road will be COM
pleted to Lake Bennett early the
coming summer. The building of this
road to the point already reached was
a work Of great difficulty.

The American Isthmian Canal.

There is but one method by which
the United States can discharge their
national duty and attain the object
which is admittedly to be desired.
The method is the constitution and
appointment of competent tribunal,
composed Of men who enjoy the conf.
dence and esteem Of all the civilized
world, and whose judgment would
command general acceptance. Before
this tribunal let the advocates of both
rOutes-Panama and Nicaragua-ap-
pear by counsel and present their
respective schemes, supporting The
project by such scientific testimony
as they can produce. Let, above all
things, the evidence adduced on each
side be tested by competent, and
therefore searching cross examination
from the other side. Let the inquiry
be of the most public kind; let all the
proceedings take place in the blaze
Of light as fierce as that which is
said to beat ''upLn the thOne;" and let
the decision be accepted as final all
over the world. This canal question
presents an opportunity to the people
Of the United States in which they
can show that they appreciate their
great place and their high position,
and show it by assisting to settle the
question in such a manner as will be
for the benefit of humanity and for
the advantage of the world. Ameri.
cas- true interest would be served by
this and all would agree to entrust
the waterway constructed under
Americas auspices to American.like
custody.-W. Henry Hunter, in The
Engineering Magazine for March.

Senator Hanna's anti-nepOtism bill
has been reported favOrably by the
senate committee on state affairs, but
only after it has been so juggled with
as to render it of no account. The
original bill made il unlawful for any
person holding a public position to
appoint blood relative to "a subordin
ate position, or to use his influence to
have a blood relative appointed by
somebody else. The committee allow.
ed the first provision to stand, but
struck out that portion prohibiting
an official to use influence to have a
kinsman appointed by some other
official. While the bill as recon-
mended isn't wholly bad, it falls far
short of the sweeping reform sought
by its author. Violation of the law
is made punishable by fine and for.
