800 days in the year, but as the
laborers will not average any
thing like 300 days work in the
year, the real number employ
ed will be much greater. AZ
most of the millions already
expended have been for ma
tefials, the amount now called
for that purpose would seem to
be far beyond the necessities
OF construction. Judging by
the estimates, and taking ten
years to complete the canal.
the cost will far exceed the
amount that the Administra-
tion told US the canal would
cost.
As President Roosevelt has
given up the work of making
the "dirt fly" and is now about
to let the building of the canal
by contract, there will be a
great incentive for fraud aud
grating, 30 how much the
canal will cost the people of
the United States, under tbis
erratie change Of plans of re-
publican administration, before
it is completed is what no fell
low can figure on. It is quite
likely that after the contracts
are let, there will be a disagree
ment with the contractors, in

sive litigation and the work
will probably have to be COM
pleted by the army engineers.

call doing things"

Organization Needed.

Organization Needed.
The late election may fairly
be called a drawn battle, for
while the democrats lost
ground in some states, they
gained about Is seats in the
House of Representatives re-
ducing the republican majority
from over one hundred to about
fifty. The general trend of the
elections showed gains for the
democrats in the cities due to
the aid of Organized Labor and
a stand still vote in the coun.
try, which requires more in.
formation before accounting
for it. 1t is hardly probable
that farmers endorsed the
standpat tariff doctrine which
plumbers them and enriches
the trusts and corporations, yet
many farmers were evidently
too busy or too we'll satisfied to
take the trouble to vote.
The more complete rganiza-
ton and the money of the tariff
protected trusts enabled the re-
publicans to bring cut the vote
of taelr regular supporters,
while the lack of the necessary
money to pay for teams and
workers, led to many demo-
Gratis staying away from the
polls. The result of the elec-
tion therefore shows that the
great need of the democrats is
a more thorough organization
and this work should at once
be undertaken by the party
committees who are in charge
of the organization. Such
work can be but very partially
accomplished in the heat of a
campaign and to put it off un-
- - : ,.Icsilen.iai nomination is
made, is to invite another de-
feat.
There is no doubt that more
than ..alf the voters of the
United States are either demo-
Gratis, or believe in democratic
policies, but if unorganized
they cannot be brought to the
pu.is aAl counted. Ins.Iaa of
waiting, however, for the lead
ers to move the democratic
workers in every township and
county should take account of
stock aud find out how many
reliable democrats there are in
their locality and then urge
action by the state committees
to supply the necessary litera-
ture and arguments to win over
the doubtful and independent
voter.
There is lots of work to be
done in the next two years and
patriotic democratic will have
to do it and thus enthuse those
who otherwise would lag in the
reforms that are 80 much
needed.

Ing close by. He could not explain,
and 1t was Just as hard to make him
understand that he had caused SO

Because of the fact that the sending

the man for malicious mischief as

slight shocks In tie night or Marcn 81
In the Raucagua district. Prolonged

Ing that much damage had been done.

Lying At anchor In the harbor of AFRICA.
was violently shaken and her anchor
! cable was snapped. On May 80 sub
terranean disturbance threw a tidal
wave along lhc Valparaiso shore line.
but little damage was done. This was
followed In few hours by fearful
gale, In which the Chilean bark Anto-
fogasta was hurled against pier and
smashed to pieces In flve minutes. The
Valparaiso harbor has been swept SO
often by destructive gales that a
project to make 1t absolutely safe is
now under way. A breakwater, Mt a
cost of $12,OOO,OOO, Is being construct
ed. The contract was let only about
Z month ago.
Valparaiso became an object of
great interest to Americans In October,
1891, when the incident occurred there
which almost plunged the United
States and Chile into war. Some OF
the populace attacked sailors from the
United States cruiser Baltimore, kill
ing two Of the American bluejackets.
The diplomatic exchanges led to Pres
ident Harrison sending message, on
Jan. 25, 1892, to congress In which he
set forth that 1.-THE communications OF
the Chilean government have not at
any time taken the form OF manly
and satisfactory expression OF regret,
much less Of an apology" A United
States squadron was being fitted out
on the Pacific coast when finally Chile
made complete apology. and the incl
dent closed.
Ships from all parts Of the world
trade with Valparaiso, which ls the
terminus of important lines OF steam
ers from Europe by way Of the Strait
of Magellan. The city is also the CEN
ter Of the South American coasting
services. There Is great custom
house wharf, alongside Of which large
steamers can moor, but most OF the
freight Is handled from lighters.
The harbor Is defended by modern
batteries. The first defense works
were erected In 1865, after Spanish
feet caused great destruction by q
heavy bombar 1ment. The forts mount
l42 guns, most Of them from Germany
and England. Valparaiso Is the favor
ite spot on the South American coast
for foreign warships. Most Of the for
eign consuls have their residence near
the port.
A close comparison has been drawn
between Valparaiso and San Francis
co.. Both have Golden Gates, but from
the sea Valparaiso Is the more invit-
Ing. Behind San Francisco the hills
rise brown and bleak, while behind
Valparaiso they rise In brilliant green.
Entering Valparaiso bay the city
streets appear in rows like the lines
OF seats IN theater. The city actually
is built on twenty hills. and so steep
is the land in places that public ele-
yators have been installed.
