Pacific oceans to the extent of about
nine feet? IGNORANT.
ut is not true that the Pacific Ocean
is higher thar the Atlantic Ocean.
Mean sea level from which land alti-
tudes are measured is the same every
where. But while the mean level of the
Atlantic and the Pacific is precisely the
same. the amplitudes of the tides at
the proposed outlets on the different
sides of the isthmus vary materially.
At Colon, IN the Atlantic, the maxi
mum variation is two feet six inches,
giving a fiuctuation of one foot three
inches below mean sea level at low
tide and n foot three inches above
mean level at high tide. Much Of the
time the variation from mean level is
under n foot. On the Pacific side of
the isthmus the rise and fall of the
tide at it's maximum in the spring is
about twenty feet; that is ten feet be-
low mean level at low tide and ten feet
above mean level at high tide. Under
ordinary conditions the fluctuations
from mean level are about 10 feet. The
slight tidal changes at Colon would
have no effect on the outlet of a sea-
level canal, but the wider variations at
Panama would cause currents in the
mouth of h waterway thai would be
so swift as to make the handling OF
ships, which necessarily must approach
the opening at slow speed, exceedingly
dangerous. For this reason tidal locks
at the Panama end of a sea-level canal
ways have been pre-supposed.-Ed.

THE MOTIVE OF A SUICIDE.

A pathetic story is revealed in the tragedy of a suicide in Newark yester-
day. A husband and father, who, had by harda and unrenitting labor aceu-
mulated a few hundred dollars of saving found that disease had incapactated
him for work and. unwilling to be a helpless charge upon his wife and chill
dren and consume their small patrtmony, he ended his life after drawing up
a paper leaving his little hoard to two trustees. This la with the soul of
a Cato, came from Russia. Suicide is justly regarded Is the act of a coward
and weaking, where it is not commit ted by the insane and irresponsible,
but surely, if we honor the patriotic soldier who deliberately gives up his
life fr his country, can we not honor the man who sacrifices his helpless self
to benefit his wife and little ones?

A NHVHR-cEAsINd REFERENDUM.

One feature of the initiative and referendum which some mistaken people
have wanted 10 fasten upon this State would soon disgust and weary even
the advocates of the system. 1t is that of a nearly continuous fight or every
proposition, however extravagant No sooner would a election be held on
a proposition before a movement would be begun for another. The propo-
nents of new schemes would be always in evidence and have the power to
harass the public with election after election. 1t would be a rare chance for
the woman sunragette, for the Prohihhonst, for the Socialist and for every
body with a hobby. Oregon has the initiative and referendum system.
Not long ago the State voted down an amendment to the Constitution for a.
suffrage amendment to admit women to the ballot and next month the
