A bill Of particulars would disclose
the fact that they did not know how to

Gen. Grant was a great soldier, but
he was greater American.
Some History.
History makes no record showing
when man began dreaming dreams.
The Bible gives evidence that in the
days of the prophets a habit was in
vogue of dreaming all sorts of schemes
that might lead to the betterment of
man, but it is fair to suppose that the
most of them ended in nightmare.
However. the dream of Columbus,
Humboldt, Napoleon, De Lesseps and
countless navigators of the time
SPAWNED by 1905 and the present has
become fact, and canal to connect
the Atlantic and the Pacific is swiftly
going towards completion.
Various routes for a canal have been
fully exploited. The Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, which was perhaps one OF the
greatest of diplomatic blunders, pro-
vided that neither the United States nor
Great Britain should exclusively con-
troll the proposed Nicaraguan Canal or
build any Notifications along it; that
neither should ever take possession of,
fortify, coloniZe or exercise dominion
or protectorate over any part of Gem
trail America: that they should mutual
ly guard the safety and neutrality of
the canal and should invite all other
nations to do the same; that both
should give aid and support TO any re-
sponsible company which should con-
struct the canal, and that thus gen.
eral principle should be established for
application to all Isthmian canals or
railroads But before the treaty was
ratified by the British Government they
began, as usual, to back and fill to Sc
cure better terms. Our people were
notified that Mr.. Bull did not interpret
the provisions of the treaty as appl-
cable to the existing British settlement
in Honduras "or its dependencies" to
wit, the Bay Islands and the Mosquito
Coast. This meant simply that Great
Britain was to be confirmed in all her
disputed claims in Central America,
and was thus to be enabled to do the
very things the treaty forbade us to do.
And so our Government in time aban-
doDed the Nicara guam scheme.
Some publicity was given to the Te
huantepec route. In 1912 Garay, a

a hideous dung-heap of moral and ply
steal abomination.'' De Lesseps was
elected to the French Academy, and
was formally seated with the ''Immor-
tax" Victor Hugo being his sponsor.
The twilight, however. was rapidly
eclipsing all this pomp. In 1885 the
city of Colon was pillaged and burned,
and Panama was saved from destruc-
ton by the L. 6. Navy under the treaty
of 1916. a lottery TO raise funds proved
fruitless. The deluge of it all came
when, on Dec. 10, 1889, the French
company went into the tolls of bank
ruptcy and a receiver named Bribery
and fraud were charged against hun
dred French Senators and Deputies. and
De Lesseps was caught in the dragnet.
He was fined $500 and sentenced to five
years Imprisonment, which was never
executed. Left in his advancing years
friendless and without money, the great
doer and dreamer died on Dec. Z, 1894,
entering that dreamless sleep that he
long craved. His fame will live on de-
spite the tragic pathos of his passing.

Mr.. Dear Old Friend and Comrade:
In compliance with your request for my
impressions of this place and vicinity,
after / should have looked it over some
what. The National Tribune has not
and cannot everdraw it as to the broad
and fraternal spirit existing here on
every hand The colony is largely
made up of the old soldiers and their
families. There is a large Post and w.
r. c.. which nets every week at p.
m. The attendance of the Post meet
ings is fully IS on an average, and
many old soldiers of much ability are
to be found in these meetings The
Commander is from Marshall. Mimi
Conlrade De Graw. But the most
largely attended meeting is that of the
"Veters MS Association" which meets
every Saturday at D. m, and takes mp
and ''threShcS OUT everything that
seems to make for the betterment of st.
Cloud. Remember that this place is
not yet Incorporated and these meet
ings, in measure. deal with the prob
lens that are ever coming up in an
embryo city. There are no saloons here
and hence but few infractions of the
ordinary code Of good morals. There
is a mass meeting advertised now 10
meet in the near future 10 take the
initiative for incorporation. a contrac-
tor here recently told me there are
here. The larger number of builders
move in when the house is enclosed
without wiling to plaster or paper.
The region hereabout is decidedly
sandy in the main, although there are
frequent tracts of black muck land of
several feet deep. This is very fertile.
Oranges, grapefruit tangerines and
mandarines do well. and garden vege-
tables, Strawberries and blackberries
are said to do well generally. Roses
have been in full bloom since we came.

vised for corn planting, but i saw an

One drawback here is the evef-pres-
