THE NICARAGUA CANAL,
baltimore sun.

There has never been but one gem
uine survey Of the Nicaraguan route,
and that has been pronounced worth
less by both commissions and the site
abandoned. The money appropriated
by Mr.. Hepburn's bill $4,000, 600
would not build an entrance and exit
for the canal. There Is not enough
money in the United states treasury
to control the winds and sands of the
mouth OF the San Juan river and make
It safe for the vessels Of commerce or
the big ships OF the navy TO enter the
canal. There Is not enough water
along the route 10 float the ships IL
they could get into the canal, The pro.
ject Is based on sentiment and not on
facts.

Republican Candidate for Sheriff of Kent
County, and Well-known Citizen.


County, and a Well-known Citizen.
Frank Reedy, who is the nominee
for the sheriffalty of Kent county on
both the Union Republican and Reg
ular Republican tickets, was born in
Milford hundred July 1st, 1S4S, and is
consequently in his 53rd year. He
has been Republican first, last and
all the time. An ardent party worker
and man of unquestionable integrity,
and high sense of honor. Mr.. Reedy
was fairly elected to the position in
1896 by an undisputed majority of 455
votes; but by the high-handed steal of
the Kent County Democratic Ring, he
was robbed of his office and the posi-
tion was retained by S. Luther Shaw,
who thereby held the Office of sheriff
for four consecutive years. Mr.. ReedY
has never held a political Office. For
three years he was treasurer of the
town of Milford and in 1898 held po-
sition of trust at the Worlds Fair.
He is an Odd Fellow Of prominence, a
member of Kirkwood Encampment,
and a prominent member of the I. o.
Red Men, of the Ancient Order United
Workmen and the Junior Order Amer.
lean Mechanics.
1t is very seldom that man attains
his age in life without an enemy, and
it is very doubtful if Mr.. Reedy has
one. On the contrary his noted vii
lingness to assist his fellowman, hi
business-like methods and congenial
nature, has made for him many sincer'
friends and will assure him many win
ming votes. Right will prevail, and il
being again elected he will be sworr
in and perform with honor and credit
the functions of his Office.

So Says the Milk Inspector of Water
bury, Conn, Who Is on an
Official Visit.

Waterbury, Conn, is a town Of only
$1,000 inhabitants, but it Is way ahead
OF Scranton in more than one respect
II the words of it's milk inspector, DR..
p. T. Kelley, are to be believed. That
city is about to build a crematory and
DIR. Kelley was sent out by the board
of health on a junketing trip to see
just what kind other cities have. He
was in this city yesterday and was
seen in the office of Food Inspector
Widmayer by a Tribune man.
You people are certainly not very
up-to-date," he said, looking around
at Mr. Widmayer's modestly furnished
office. Il can't understand how you
are enabled to get any kind of re-
suits in your milk inspection with
these limited resources. why I've got
as nice a laboratory as one could wish
to see fitted up with the very latest
chemical devices, so that i am enabled
to detect the slightest impurity or
adulteration in the milk.
my friend here can only tell
whether it possesses the requisite per-
| centage of butter fat or total solids,
but that isn't all by any means. Why.
up in New England we have farmers
acid in their milk for the purpose of
keeping it sweet. Fcrmaldehyde is
very unhealthy stuff, but a little bit
in a gallon of milk will keep it sweet
| for weeks. How do the citizens OF
| this city know that their milk is not
being treated in the same manner"
He also casually mentioned that he
had just had sink costing $50 put
in his laboratory.
Did they o. X. the bill all rght?
| queried Mr.. Widmayer.
| "Why certainly they did," replied
| DR.. Kelley.
| Mr.. WidmaYer looked at him with
envious eyes for a minute and ther
took a bill for 81 cents worth Of sup
Plies from his desk. Il have my
doubts as to whether this will pass,
said he, wearily. He hastened to ex
plain. however, that IN this city, al
bills have to pass through a council
manic auditing committee Of eighteer
| members, all with single and separate
axes to grind, whereupon DR.. Kelley
said he understood why we were no
up-to-date in some respects.
He was not much impressed will

as "a cheaply constructed concern
