The Panama Canal.

A great many persons, ordinarily ra-

before the next presidential election,
and villages whose status will not be
perceptibly changed by the completion
of that stupendous enterprise have
been dreaming of being metamorphos-
ed into Chicagos. Bostons or Balti-
mores as sequel to the digging of the
isthmian ditch All these hopes and
aspirations are destined to cruel
frost A row is brewing as to wheth-
er we shall have a locked canal or Il
sea level canal 1t is estimated by the
engineers that the former will consume
ten years of time and 5000, 100000
while the latter will require fifteen
years of time and 300,O00,000 Judg-
ing the future by the past, both esti
mates should be doubled even if it
should be determined at once what sort
OF a canal we are to have. If that
question is not speedily settled the
chances are that not one senator or
representative who voted for the canal
will live to be present at the opening
thereof Hope deferred maketh the

'Crumpacker Threatened" When |
arst saw that my heart was troubled,
for | am fond of the Judge / was
/ afraid that somebody had threatened to
kill him for even thinking of contesting
the senatorship with Mr.. Hemenway
or had threatened to run against him
for the congressional nomination,
which would be a calamity indeed, but
my mind was greatly relieved on read
ing the body of the dispatch to discover
that no threat had been made by any
body to compete with the judge for the
congressional nomination or to kill him
or even to do him great bodily harm.
The whole thing simAered down to
this. Some crack Drained persons down
south had written him that unless he
let up in his continuous show they
would retaliate by ostracizing and per-
scouting nothern immigrants to Dixie
merely that and nothing more border
ing on the idiOtic. it is true. but con-
tanning nothing of harm to the judge
On the contrary, the aforesaid immi-
grants are to make vicarious atone
ment for his $ rs. He declares valiant
ly that he win not be terrorized by the
aforesaid threats or by any like unto
them and seems to be in the brave
frame of mind of the man who was
willing to sacrifice his wife's relations
in an impending war.

haps are his harebrained southern

crumpacker, Martyr.


Certainly the most preposterous thing
ever undertaken by the propagators of
sensations is the effort to pose Repre-
sentative +. d. Crumpacker of Indiana
as a martyr because he is advocating a
plan to cut down the congressional rep
resentation of four or five southern
states by reason of the alleged suppress
sion of the colored voters. For several
years Crumpacker has enjoyed use

Speaking of Stewards bill, Harper S
Weekly says, The president gets along

create all the wealth and for whom no
pension is in prospect. That they will
grow hilarious over the proposition to
double up official salaries presidential
or any other sort, is not credible.
The principal reason urged for this
increase of salaries is the increased
cost of living, but it is strange that no,
body ever proposes to reduce salaries
when the cost of living is reduced.
Touching the argument as to increased
cost of living, Harper's Weekly very
pertinently remarks: If the cost of liv-
ing has increased SO much that their
salaries have seriously decreased in
purchasing power, it becomes them
