PANAMA
CANAL.

The strenuous struggle of the Ad-
ministration to force Congress to
adopt the lock type of canal at Pana-
ma, against the advice of the greatest
hydraulic engineers from all countries,
because it could be built in less time,
has been given fresh and ominous
warning by the serious accident in the
Manchester, England, ship canal.
The Engineers, in the evidence before
the Senate committee argued against
the plan of putting three locks in
flight at Gatun,' says the New York
Post, 'as in the accepted project for
the Panama Canal, pointing out the
peril of thus putting all the eggs in
one basket. They maintained that il
by accident, ship should get out Of
control and crash through the gates
of one lock, she would be certain tc
carry out all three; whereupon the
canal would be drained, and it would
be the work of two or three years tc
put Humpty Dumpty back again
Well, something very like that, il
miniature, happened at the Iran
locks of the Manchester Canal. A
steamer of only 700 tons, the Cassia
| by some blunder made for the wrong
lock, instead of the one filled to re
ceive her. Though she had but little
way on her, she smashed through on,
! of the gates, the weight of waite
broke in the others, and the safet,
gates which were promptly set wer
also speedily swept away, and all th
water higher up the canal poured ou
to sea. Traffic was entirely suspend
ed for two days, till the spare stee
gates could be got in place. 1t was
Of course, a comparatively simple af
fair in such a canal; but imagine al
accident of the kind at Gatun, at s!
feet above the sea ~
The sea-level plan which was pre-
ferred by the Democrats is more cost
ly and would take somewhat longe
to construct but there is no doub
would in the end be cheaper AM
safer.

ing is progressing Interestingly. Be,
sides the renovation of the ex-register

that of School Director Brown, the
county commissioners are undergoing
a searching investigation, and Dis
trict Attorney Small promises some
startling developments. Mr.. Small
is a busy man these days, and is one
of the few district attorneys that gives
the attention to the Office, the people
has elected him to, that is required or
supposed to be the duty inscribed in
the oath of office. Let the good work
go on and never cease until every

"A BALLooNING craze appears to
have set in all over the country.
Hardly day passes that an ascen-
sion and an accident is not recorded
from some corner of the land. Clubs
have been organized both in Philadel-
phia and New York, and sober men
who years ago would not have gone
up in Il balloon for half of Wall
street now speak of an ascent as one
of the pleasures of life. Then, too, it
costs something to indulge in the new
sport. Aside from the original cost
of the machines with which the sail
ing is done, it costs about thirty-fve
dollars to fill a big bag with gas. OF
course, the craze will run its course
and die out, except among a few en-
thusiasts, just as all other such fads
do.

Tie French Chamber of Dem

The French Chamber of Depu-
ties has been compelled to expel the
worthless Count Boni de Castellane,
of whom Americans have heard alto
gether too much. He appears to be
about the worst example of a spend
thrift nobleman of which all Europe
can boast. Reckless in his expendi-
lures, dependent upon his American
wife's fortune for all he eats and
wears, hopelessly in debt, and now
kicked out of the Legislature of his
country on the ground of corruption
and bribery, he seems to be about the
worst scapegrace in all France, and
that is saying good deal.

JUSTICE BREWERS
OPINION.

According to Justice Brewer, Wash
ington is the great lobby camp of the
world. More legislation has been
thrust upon Congress than it can at
tend to, and the consequence is that
the Government has become a general
disponsary. "The Federal Govern
ment is efficient" he says; "but there
are things greater than more effici-
ency, namely, the protection of the
individual and the upbuilding of his
sense of individual responsibility"
These greater things are lacking un-
der our present system. ''lt is not
how much the individual will willing
ly give to the country, but how much
the nation could take from him. "

The approach to the river bridge
or the South side still presents an un,
slightly appearance. The Northum
berland county commissioners are a
set of ungrateful, unappreciative, big
gotted, minded old fogies, and
the better class of citizens should
bring to bear their influence and in
sist that something speedily be done.
In all justice to the handsome struc.
ture spanning the majestic Susque-
hanna here, it is the duty of North
umberland county to erect good,
substantial and attractive approach,
equal to that on the NIontour side.

IN a recent address on the made
quate pay Of female school teachers,
the Superintendent of the Public
Schools of indianapolis took occasion
to remark that many teachers were
getting less than servant girls. With
out stopping to argue the correctness
of the assertion, We can only say it
seems to be in the power of the In
dianapolis female teachers to correct
this inequality. They have only to
exchange the one employment for the
other but it does not seem to have oc-
cured to him to make the sugges-
ton.

Rockefeller, has contributed $125,

the sum needed to build seaside
hospital for children suffering from
tuberculosis. 1t took hustlirg and

half, the men having untainted cash
for some unaccountable reason, pre-
ferring to keep it in their own pockets.

THE entrance to the directors

The entrance to the directors
room at the First Ward school build
ing should be provided with an cleo
tric light, an incadescent style would
answer the purpose and would add no
extra expense to the borough. 1t is
a dark, dreary place at the best and
on nights the school board meets, the
directors must exercise great caution
in leaving the place.
