Statue to de Grasse.

1t appears to be settled that Washing
ton will have a monument to the menu
ory Of Admiral Francois Joseph Paul de
Grasse, who commanded the French feet
which rendered such timely and effective
aid to the American patriot army in the
campaign ending with the surrender Of
the army of CORVALLIS in October, 1881
The news has been given out that plans
for the erection of such a memorial will
be perfected at the triennial convention
Of the Sons of the Revolution, which will
meet in Washington the 10th of this
month. Great and deserved credit Is
being rather tardily given to de Grasse
for the part he played in the closing act
Of the war for American independence,
though one Of the figures on the Lafay-
cite monument represents de Grasse, to-
gether with Rochambeau, Count ID Es-
taing and Gen. du Portal. His patriotic
countrymen, Lafayette and Rochafnbeau,
have been honored In bronze and granite
by separate and distinguished memorials
in Washington, and it will be appropriate
that a monument to de Grasse shall
stand in Lafayette Square. 1t would add
to the distinguished group of memorials
there, the others being, in addition to La
fayette and Rochambeau, those to the
memory OF Won Steuben and Kosciusko,
and, of course, the famous monument to
Jackson. The suggestion has been made
that the de Grasse statue be reared at
Yorktown. but this suggestion ought not
to prevail over the proposal that 1t be
erected at the capital of the government

1t is much easier to demolish the half

Ohio and Alabama,

The voters of Ohio. who will elect a
United States senator next November,
should ponder and be inspired by the
senatorial result in Alabama.
An influence in Mr.. Underwood's be-
half was the fact that the Cotton state
had for many years been very proni-
nent in the Senate. One of her repre-
sentatives there enjoyed an international
reputation. John T. Morgan was known
not only in connection with important
domestic questions, but equally impor-
tant foreign questions. His information
vas broad, his debating power extraor-
binary, and his view of matters wide and
patriotic. He was at once a sound party
man and sound country man.
In Mr. Underwood the people of Ala
bama recognized a man worthy to sit
where Mr.. Morgan had sat. He had
what even Mr. Morgan did not have at
the beginning. national prestige as a leg
islater Mr.. Morgan had to make his
way to the front in the Senate. Mr..
Underwood will take his seat at once

Mr.. Hobson and Prohibition.

| Mondays primary designated a full
term senator from Alabama. Did it like
wise designate the next prohibition can
didate for President of the United States:
! Mr.. Hobsons candidacy for senator
was pitched in the key OF prohibition.
He had advocated that cause for several
years. and seemed to feel that at last it
was good for a senatorship in state
where temperance sentiment was strong.
| He did not, however. succeed in polling
the full strength of that sentiment for
himself. Mr. Underwood was so attractive
in many ways he secured the votes of
many temperance men. They helped
make up his large majority.
But Mr.. Hobson is not discouraged. His
first utterance after defeat is a. defiance
of the liquor interests. AS a former able
seaman, he couches it in John Paul
| Jones famous phrase: He has Just begun
to fight, and he predicts ultimate victory.
From March next he will fight outside
instead of inside Congress His defeat
for the Senate carries with it his retire.
ment from the House.
Within the past decade prohfbition has
won some notable victories. the most Of
them in the south, where the temperance
question is allied with the race question
1t is the contention down there that the
free sale of liquor is responsible for the
grayest of the negro's delinquencies, and
that the only way to help him. and at the
same time help the white man, is to cut
loft the liquor supply. A dry state, it is
argued, helps both races, and particu-
larly the weaker.
In national way the question has not
made anything like a corresponding prog
ress- Two years ago the prohibition can
didate for President was negligible
quantity. Neither party feared him, and.
as the result showed. there was no occa-
sion for fear
Would Mr.. Hobson accept such norni-
nation? He seems to be "out of IT. in
Alabama as a democrat. The present is
his second defeat for the Senate. and a
new man. who will of course try to stay,
will take his place in the House. He has
put the naval service behind him, is fond
of politics. is young, and why not poll
tics as a steady thing?
The prohibition party in its national
campaigns has as a rule been led by men
without national regulations. Its presi-
dental nominees have had to be intro
duced both to press and people. Excel
lent men as they were. they were but
very little if at all known outside Of pro-
hibition circles.
But here is a man as widely known as
any public man of the day. As a war
hero, as a politician. and as a chautau-
qua entertainer. he has been in the spot
light for nearly sixteen years; and all
have heard of him who have not seen
him. What rafting candidate for the
''drys" he would make! Watch him.
Maybe the situation will shape itself so
as to put the prohibition standard into
his hands

THE CANAL L

No one familiar with the facts will
doubt that absolutely, and without
exception, all objection to exempting
American coastwise ships from tolls
in the Panama canal comes from
transcontinental railroads. And this
is true, whether objection is domestic
or foreign.
1t is know that that is the case,
because no other interest is adversely
affected. While American producers
and consumers will be benefited by
free tolls, nobody IN earth will be
injured except the transcontinental
railroads, and the chances are that
they will also be benefited in the end.
As foreign ships cannot engage in this
traffic at all, foreign nations are in
nowise Disseminated against.
The pretense that the exemption of
coastwise ships will throw a greater
burden of support of the canal on for
eign shipping. is unworthy of diplo-
macy. 1t must be assumed that for
eign governments which consider this
matter are informed as to what is
common knowledge among intelligent
mankind, in which case they know
that canal tolls will have to be fixed,
not according to revenue needed by
the canal, but by what it can get in
the face of very severe competition
from the Suez canal and from the
open sea around Cape Horn. Tolls
must be fixed by the canal precisely
as all railroads fix rates, not by what
is desired, but by what can be got I'M
der competitive conditions. No stu
alton ever approaching a monopoly
can be created except by an %unwholly
combination between the United
States government and the Suez
Canal company, which, while by no
means unthinkable, is not at all
likely, says the San Francisco Chroni-
iele.
During the bad old times, a private
canal company would have made spec
la rates to the marginal traffic while
maintaining monopoly rates to ship
ping which must use the canal. That,
however, is not suggested, and will
not be done. Tolls will eventually be
fixed so as to extend the canal traffic
as far south on the western coast of
South America as possible and so as
to get the greatest amount possible
of the American traffic. These rates
will be uniform to all toll-paying
ships and free passage to coastwise-
and, indeed, all-American ships will
not, because it cannot, have any effect
whatever on tolls. And foreign gov
ernments know this as well as other
folks. Objection is railroad objection
and nothing else.
