Nov. 8. 1895 IN FAVOR OF IT. The Baltimore Manufacturers' Re cord aad the Chattanooga Times have both been sounding the members of Congress House and Senate as to how they stand on the question ot the construction of the Nicaragua canal with Government aid. From the replies received, embracing a large number, very few are opposed to it, and while some declined to commit themselves until they knew the conditions of the proposition, although in favor of a canal, there were enough affirmative and positive replies received to show that there is a majority of both houses in favor of a canal under Government super vision, the presumption being that a satisfactory bill will be presented. We have taken a lively interest in this scheme ever since it has as sumed tangible shape, because we believe it one of the grandest schemes for building up our commerce, pros perity and power that has ever been suggested, and one in which our own particular section is especially interested. Its commercial importance is gen erally conceded, although there are some who contend that this is over estimated, and that not nearly as ntuch tonnage will pass through it as it is claimed there will, the reason alleged being that located as it is in the belt of calms, it will not be sought by sailing vessels, on account of the anaoylng' delays they would be subjected to in reaching it. And yet most of the trade of the coun tries bordering on the seas referred to is carried on with sailing vessels. But even if there were anything in this, the day of the sailing vessel is passing away, the -fast-moving steamer relegating the slow-going sailer, and as the demands of com merce increase the more rapid will be this relegation. The day is not far distant when most of the trans oceanic commerce will be carried in steam bottoms, if it is not now. But even these concede the commercial importance of such a passway . be tween the oceans, while contending that as an enterprise it would not pay. Aside from its commercial impor portance, it is important from a mil itary standpoint, so much so that this Government cannot afford to underestimate it. Combinations are n dw being formed in the old world which may make it more important than ever, for Japan is destined to become a great naval power. Russia is reaching out for a port on the Paciic below the ice belt and China under the guardianship and tutorage of Russia may yet become a strong aval power. At present Japan, Russia and China are friendly to us, but the friendliness of nations lasts only so long as it does not conflict with their interests. Japan is ambi tious and . will be, as she grows stronger, aggressive. Russia is pow ,' erful, ambitious and dictatorial. If , China had ability and dash In pro i portion to her deceit and lack of principle she would be dangerous. We have a long stretch of coast to be protected on the Pacific, which we would be powerless to protect against the fleets of a strong nation on that side. In the rivalry of nations these days to gain power and extend their ! commerce, the nation that would hold its own must be far-seeing and alert, and must permit itself to be neither outwitted nor bluffed. If we extend our commerce to the East ward to reach the people on the other shores of the Pacific, we will need Hawaii' as a refuge for our ships and a sort of relay station on the high sea. Whether we annex it or not, we must be in a position to have free access to its ports un hampered by any other nation. Al ready Japan has an eye on those islands and it is only a question of time when she will have practical, if not absolute control of them unless deterred by this country from as serting it. The way to prevent at tempts of that kind is to demon strate the ability to make them too costly to be undertaken. With a Continent to doable in what position vould Wc be to-day to protect our Pacific States, or prevent encroachments on Hawaii detrimen tal to our interests, if we became embroiled with a power like Rus sia or such a power as Japan promi ses to be in the near future? But England which has from the start looked upon the Nicaragua scheme with a jealous eye has now as a last resort to defeat it. revived the Panama project which was gen erally supposed to have fallen through. The Englishman at the head of this says he can complete it within from five to six years, at what is supposed to be a reasonable "ex penditure ot $100,000,000. We be lieve this is a bluff to prevent this Government from giving financial aid to a canal which would have a competitor so near by to divide bus iness and receipts with it. But if this should not be a "bluff, but state mentsmade in good faith, and as suming that the Panama Canal is feasible and to be carried out to com pletion in good faith, then it is all the more important for and imperative on this Government to proceed with energy and earnest ness in the construction of the Nica ragua canal to deter capitalists from putting their money in the Panama scheme. Our impression is that if it were an established fact that the Nicaragua canal was to be con structed at once under the super-, vision of this Government, the other would be abandoned as a prospec tively non-paying enterprise. As this seems to be a game of bluff with the Englishmen, the way to beat them at their own game is to pay no attention to the bluff, but go on with business as if the Panama canal had never been talked of. The Nicaragua canal is a necessity to us whether the -Panama canal be built or not, and more of a necessity than ever if it be built under British influence and with British money. MINOR MENTION. England is our great commercial rival, and is to-day the great com mercial nation of the earth because she has steadily kept her eye on the advancement of her commerce, and found markets abroad instead of fol lowing the delusive idea of building up a "home market,", as the Repub lican statesmen of this country had been doing for a generation. To suc ceed as a commercial nation English statesmen knew that the best way to encourage home manufactures and make them solid was to find markets for their manufactures in foreign lands, the very reverse of the policy pursued- by the statesmen of this country who untirrecently had the shaping of our public policies. How effectively the enterprise of British manufacturers and merchants has co operated with British statesmanship in building up their foreign com merce is thus told by a Western con temporary, in discussing why It is that England can afford to pay bet ter wages than other European coun tries: "To the first nlarn. Kndanrl hae psfarv lished trade in nearly all the nations of the earth, because years aad years ago her merchants went trt those rnnntriea and opened business houses, running mem sometimes at a loss ior years, un der the guarantee of the British Govern ment, that thev should have reo-nlar lines of steamers running to those coun tries ior an time to come, i ney acquired the language ot those countries, learned the habits of the people, the wants of those countries, the kind of goods the people of those countries desired, and, by telegraph and steamer, they can, to the remotest ends of the earth, deliver orders within two .or three weeks. Second, Englahd has colonists stretching clear around the world colonies where the ruling authorities are English, and where all the sympathy is with the mother country. Third. Eng land can unload her goods from her fac tories almost directly into her ships, to be transported wherever desired. Fourth. England has money enough to carry goods over from season to season, and debts over from season to season, and more, she has involved nearly every na tion on the earth in debt to her, so that she has a claim upon their trade which outside nations have not. Finally, she has so manipulated the finances of the world that she is the greatest creditor nation. She has interest and dividends coming from almost every productive country in the world, and out of all these advantages she commands avast amount of trade." With bur protective Chinese wall tariff policy and. with the adop tion of the English financial system we have simply put ourselves into the hands of our English rivals and let them distance us in the race. Sk As the United States Senate now stands it it composed of thirty-nine Democrats, tfour Populists, two free silver Senators, formerly Repub licansStewart and Jones of Ne vada and forty-two "straight" Re publicans, with one vacancy from Delaware, which will be filled by a Republican, which will make the straight Republican vote forty- three, two less than necessary to control the organization. The co operation of Senators Stewart and Jones would give the Republicans the two votes necessarv. Thev might possibly 'secure the co-operation of Jones, but Stewart stands closer to the Populist party than he does to the Republican, and is so absolutely committed to free silver that he would hardly entertain any proposition from the Republicans, even if they' were disposed to make one. This leaves the situation such that the Republi cans cannot organize the Senate without Democratic or Populist sup port. But it is said that the straight Republicans are not anxious to or ganize the Senate, and will therefore seek neither the aid of the Nevada Senators, nor of Democrats nor Pop ulists, believing that it is better for responsi bility for the legislation that tiiay be proposed at the coming session, " the eve of an approaching Presiden tial election.

CURRENT COMMENT A new star that has been dis covered is estimated to be 93,000, 000,000,000 miles from the earth, and this fact leads many people into the belief that it is not a star at all, but simply the boom of one Robert Todd Lincoln. Chicago Record, Ind. According to figures fur nished by the Internal Revenue Bu reau, the annual consumption of beer in the United States is in excess of 1,000,000,000 gallons. These figures put the United States abreast with Germany, and suggest a possible source of increased revenue which would wholly obviate any occasion for tariff tinkering at the coming session of Congress. Phil. Record, Dent. Perhaps the men who clamor for a war with England have come to the conclusion of the Salt Lake Tribune, that the goldbug system "has robbed the people of the United States of more money and property than half a dozen wars would, con sume; and the sorrow, the crimes, the shattered intellects, the falling off in patriotism and the degradation of the nation have been something beyond all computation." Augusta Chronicle, Dem. THE RESULT. What Some of tbe Editors Think ' of It. The election reveals the Republican strength in the nation, compared with the Democratic strength, as abnormally great. The landslide of 1891 is still sliding. New York Sun. Dem. There is no comfort for the Demcc racy in the New York city vote. The trend of the country to Republicanism is as strong as ever, and the election next year of a Republican President is assured. PhiladelphiaNorth American, More powerful, so far as National questions were considered, than all other influences was the melancholy and dis graceful break-down of the party in the United States Senate through the trea son of Gorman and Brice and their im mediate followers. New York Times, Dem. Upon tbe whole the Republicans seem to nave had a tree picnic in every debat able State yesterday. About the only open qustion left by the result, is whether the battered running gears of the Demo cratic party can be worth patching up for a national contest in 1896. Phil. Times, Ind. it the organizad heads of a party Diinaiy ana latuousiy pursue their own selfish and unpatriotic ambition, for getting that "public office is a public trust," and employ the spoils ot their political preferment to further their ends and perpetrate their powers, they can not but fail in the end. Richmond Times, Dem. No matter if the Republicans have succeeded to the extent of all that they claim as to yesterday s work, there is no occasion ior us to aespair ot winning the Presidency next year. The Demo crats are famous for showing their fight ing qualities in the direst extremities. It is peril that brings out our pluck; ad versity'.that makes us unanimous. Rich mond Dispatch, Dem. The elections in Pennsylania, Ohio, New York and New Jersey clearly de monstrate that tbe expectations of the Democrats that popular ODDOsition to them and their economic and financial policies had subsided, and that they would have at least a fighting chancelor success in the great national contest of next year, were not well founded. Evi dently the majority of the people are still in antagonism to that party, and that they are not less determined now than they were in 1893 and 1894 that the Democrats shall not in tbe near future be entrusted with control of the Government. They have been again signally dfeated this year in some of their strongholds and there can be but little hope for them in yesterday's re turns of the elections of success in 1896.

American and European Methods of Tains; It In a Iarte Way. The standard American method of utilizing a large amount of water power has hitherto been to distribute the wa ter to the several consumers or mill owners by means of a svstem of head races, so called, with facilities for its discharge at a lower level, to be utilized as tho owner or lessee saw fit, and gen erally on bis own premises. This led to long head canals and to insignificant tail races, whereas tho Niagara plant con sists of a common tail race, a mile and a half long, with comparatively insignifi cant . head races. Tho old tiinejwatcr power company sold or leased the right to draw a definite quantity of water at defined times, with the privilege of dis charging it at a lower level, and the mill owner did tho rest, whereas at Niagara Falls tho right is leased to dis chargo a definite quantify of water into the tail race tnnnel, with tho .. ivilege of drawing this quantity from the head canal, or from the river. But over and above this the product power may be contracted for at Niagara Falls, deliv ered on tiiG shaft. To create a large group of mill sites of the older sort there was necessary, in tho first instance, a large, continuous body of 7 land, properly located for tho purpose. If this could not be bought up secretly, and in large blocks, the wholo water power enterprise would fail to come to fruition. In Europe, however, several such enterprises came into being in spite of tho inability of the projectors to primarily buy tracts of land such as have been described. This was done by establishing central power stations near the dam, or head canal, and then trans mitting the power produced, instead of the water to produce it, to the consu mers or mill owners. Up to within'say, five years, this had always been accom plished by means of wiro rope trans missions of power, and it is easy to see that the invention of the electrical trans mission of power would give this form of the utilization of a large water pow er a great impetus. Many such plants are therefore already in existence, many are building, but among them all no one is probably so celebrated and is at tracting the attention of all intelligent men as this at Niagara Falls.

One such tender hearted man, seeing hie physician coming along the street, slipped into a doorway to avoid him. "Why did you do that?" inquired his companion. "Well," said the man, whose health had been poor until within a year, "it's so long now since I've been sick that I'm reallj ashamed to see him." - An instance of still greater delicacy It recorded of a man whoso case had been pronounced hopeless by his physician, but who afterward regained perfect health. H met the doctor on the street some time aft er his recovery, and the latter had difflcul ty in making his former patient stop tc speak with him. "What's the matter?" inquired the phy sioian bluntly.

MILLIONAIRES AND PEASANTS ARE HIS - PATIENTS, He Is an Information Bureau For Passen gersHis Salary. Is Sot Large, briT There Are Perquisites That Slake the Job Gen erally Worth navinff. - The duties of a ship surgeon while sea are a combination of those of a doctor and a sanitary inspector. As a physician, he is thrown completely and entirely upon his own resources. He has no one to con sult in caso of doubt or anxiety on his part. He has no option about taking or leaving a case. It is his duty to attend with equal devotion and impartiality every passenger on board tho vessels, without regard to race, color or tho necessity of a bath. In fact, it is most obligatory for him to minister to tho steerage passengers, for there are usually one or more doctors in the first and second cabins, especially in lummer, who can bo called upon for theii fellow travelers in emergency cases. As a health officer, he must visit every part of the ship to seo that everything is clean; disinfect, if that is necessary; watch the food that' is prepared for the crew, the steerago and cabin passengers. A ship surgeon is generally supposed by the passengers to know everything about the vessels from tho height of the mast to the number of revolutions of tho screw. "Once," said the surgeon of onoof the At lantic liners, "a young woman asked me what they did with tho ashes. You smile, but that is by no means an unusual ques tion. It is so common, in fact, that the stereotyped answer to it is that they make the coal heavors eat tho ashes. " People at sea ask all sorts of silly questions, to the disgust, annoyanco and amusement of the officers. Tho best plan when you are a sea is to keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut. Just have a little pa tience Somo other inquiring mind will ask tho question you ha vo on your tongue's end. If hp gets snubbed, by your golden silence you havo saved yourself that. If he gets a reasonable explanation, you also are enlightened without having exposed youi ignorance." All tho steerage passengers pass before the ship surgeon as they go on board. II there is any just cause why they should not be taken, thoy are sent back. When they go on board, thoy frequently carry their babies dono up in shawls head, eyes and ears covered up, until one cannot tell whether tho bundle is a child or a long loaf of bread. "Many a time, " continued the surgeon, "I have made one of them opon a bundle only to find it contained articles of food or clothing. Tho clothing is often hot up to the standard of that cleanliness which stands close to godliness, but it is not so objectionable as a ohild with scarlet fever." "How is tho berth of surgeon on board a ship obtained?" "A man may not bo less than 20 years old, though one so young as that is seldom accepted, the judgment of tho companies being that tho surgoon, deprived as he is of consultation with other doctors, should have had a ' somewhat considerable actual practice. The doctor applying must, ol course, bo a graduate from somo recognized and accepted school of medicine. In ordei to obtain tbe position it is well to have a friend at court. " "What is tho salary?" "The salary, of course, varies according to the vessel tho doctor is on. Tho salary of a surgeon, even on ono of the finest pas senger steamers that cross tho ocean, is seemingly small." "Is there anything behind that 'seem ingly? " "Yos. Tho actual salary paid by the company wo will assumo to bo between $40 a month and $40 a week. Now, $40 a month for a professional man, whose edu cation has cost him thousands of dollars, would seem ridiculous. But I can assure you that if a surgoon on some of those pa latial ocean steamers only got a salary ol $40 a year neither ho nor his family need go hungry or out at tlio elbows. "Tho law prohibits a ship surgeon from making out a bill or from naming any spe cific price for his services. He is supposed to bo there for tho purpose of serving the passengers. In fact, ho must attend the call of everybody on board, even tho mean est. Neglect of tho steerago passengers charged against a ship surgeon, if the com plaint were sent in to tho company proper ly, would certainly lio investigated, and if it should bo sustained the doctor would be dismissed. When he has dono his full duty in tho steerage, there is no law against his being very kind and thoughtful and atten tive to Mr. and Mrs. Millionaire in the first cabin, nor Is thero tho slightest ob jection on the part of the company if Mr. Millionaire shows his substantial apprecia tion of the doctor's skill and gentlemanly conduct. While the position of ship sur geon on a lino passenger steamer is not ex actly a sinecure, and there are other things than signing the pay roll to do, tho man who holds such a placo need not ask his pastor at home to tako up a collection for his suffering family. .Nor is this substan tlal recognition by any means confined to tne first cabin. It is quito universal in the second cabin, with a sporadic case here and thero in tho steerage. ? "No doctor on land has, in a social point of view, patients who represent so many grades of society as thoso who como under the care of a ship surgeon. When a young man on land first sets up his sign as an M. D., he has generally some idea as to the social stratum from which his patients are to come, some fixed principle, some limit beyond which he will not sro. Some doc tors wish to practice only among tbe very wealthy; some prefer the respectable mid dle class ; some wish to have principally singers and actors for their patients; others work in the slums and rattle off prescrip tions like bullets from a repeating rifle. At sea, all these classes are attended by the surgeon. I am afraid that there, as on laud, the doctor frequently lingers the longest at the side of the patient from whom the fattest fee can with reason be expected." New York Tribune. Paternal Advice.
