C Thursday' Morning. -Tan; 9. 1 96 BRITISH IS T&IQUISQ IS HICA ' HAQUA. - It was reported some .time go that' a wealthy Eaglishman naded . Morgan, who represeats aa Eagtsh syndicate, had secured a coatrollpg interest ia the raiiroads of Nipa r3gna. It seems that Morgan pas lived for some years ia that country, is a maa of inflaence and that fche syndicate which he represeats, lad of which he. is' oae, has no: cjaly lare iailroad interests, bat owns nearly ail the steamers plyingj on Nicaragaaa waters., They own niost olihe boats which pty oa Lake Maa- a?aa:and on Lake Nlcaraeua, woich is to form part of the proposed ship canal. " Wnen we saw that statement! we felt pretty sure that, if tfde, it was a movement' by the Eazlishmen en- gaged in ft to get such a hold on Nic aragua as to pat them in a position to prevent the construction of the canal or to get control of it themselves and construct -it in British interests. Rerjorts are : coming to Washington jnpw which, unless they are vejry muclji ex aggerated, show that the English are intriguing not only to -preventj the construction of the canal under American auspices, but o get jcon trol of it themselves and. thtis pith the railroads they now control prac tically control that country, for the powers that control the hignways of commerce, lrtuall control f the country through which- these pih ways run. f- - . , . ! "It is sai d that Brithh capital has been freely invested in that country ' and has exercised and does not n ex- ercise considerable' influence, jwhich . was for a short while somewhat im- paired, by the arbitrary indemnity de mands of Great Britain for the ex pulsion of Hatch from Blue fields, followed by the Corinto incident. For a while the Nicaraguans count ed upon the protection and sppport of the United States in resisting those demands,, but when! they saw" that this was a groundless hope, they got to liking, the ' Englishman more and the American less, because having placed thjeir de pjnderrce on this Governmspt and construing the Monroe doctrine as covering their pasje, they felt ikeenly disappointed and regarded I them selves as deserted by the govern ment which could have potected them if it would. Since then it is ' said British influence 'has increased immensely there not ,o'niy with tne Governmen but with the people, and realizing this the English are cunningly using it fcr all it is worth. It was very strongly suspected at the time that the British indemnity demand In the Hatch case, Jwas not so much to redress an affroat to the - British Government, or to indemnify Hatch and other British subjects for indignities to which they were sub i jected or for damage done ithem or their property, as to place Ihe Nica raguan Government in a position where it would be more or less at the mercy of Great Britain, ancj thus be come more pliant to the schemes in view to undermine American influ ence in that country, anoJ lead the way to either the defeat of the pro ject or to put It under Eotish con trol; And this, if these laj,te reports be true, seems to be the! effect to some extent of these operitions. , 4- Mr. Morgan and the syndicate which he represents are now working industriously, it is said, bat still with a certain amount of praadence, to persuade tfie ?Nicaraguat Govern ment to revoke the Concessions made to the Maritime pnal Com pany andy declare; the franchise lot-. feited for-failare of 'contfact, this'to be followed up by granting copces- sious to anotner company xo carry the work. To avoid : nspicton of English manipulation or English dictation it is suggested that the company, although to be controlled by Eoglishmen and backed by Eng lish capital, may be composed of uht u HgrtiSsftds trisile tha teal power behind them i would be tatj Englishmen. One ot the strong ar guments employed to induce this action is that the, company toTwhich the concessions were granted cannot construct the canal for lack of the money necessary to do it, and that it has been depending upon the sap port of the United State's Govern ment which is" diily-dallyfng and showing no disposition to enter upon the work,N the proposition having been before Congress for several years and no nearer, definite action now than it was when first intro duced. V.'v There is some plausibility in these representations both as to the Canal Company which never did have much money and soon expended what it had, and as to this, country, whose Congresses have been nttering volumes of talk about it bnt nothing more, although the sentiment of the people of all sections of the country is 'overwhelmingly, almost unani mously, in favor of iC Bnt how the people feel on questions where money is the thing to be raised does ' not amount to . much, especially when the transactions are with a foreign power, which has monetary interests at stake and is anxious for speedy action. It would not be very difficult under the circumstances to persuade the Nicaraguan Govern ment that there is little prospect of the completion of the Canal under American auspices, and not much difficulty in persuading it to trans fer the concessions if It thought this safe, ; had assurances that others would more promptly do the work and could find a plausible pretext for annulling the existing concessions. We do not think this could be done safely now, for this Government has gone so far in that matter that it must go further - or drop it alto gether, and until it has decided to drop it it. is not likely that it will per mit the Nicaragua Government, un der the manipulation of intriguing Englishmen or any one else, to call a halt and until it voluntarily decides to halt itself. If there be any ground for those reports that are now com ing to Washington there will be ad ditional reason why this Government will not permit a halt to be called and additional reason, too, why it should proceed with more dispatch to settle beyond doubt the statns of the enterprise and cut off for all time any intriguing to throw obsta cles in the way, and to prevent the possibility of international complica tions that may arise in the future when we would have to fight for what we can now have by saying that we want it and intend to have it. 1OS0& 1LEHTI0H. We have no great admiration for Wm. E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, as patriot, nor a very nigh opinion of his abilijty as a Senator or a finan cier, but he put a very ' pertinent question to the American, people when in introducing his "popular loan" bill, Tuesday, be referred to a published statement of one of the Rothschilds to the effect that nntil the Venezuela boundary dispute is settled neither European capitalists nor the European public would take American bonds for investment, and asked what that meant? He an swered his own inquiry, and art. s wered it in a way that ought to put the American people to thinking and to asking themselves bow long is this country to tie itself to Europe, to be governed by Europe financially and to be financially dependent upon Europe, not Europe exactly, bat the men who control the finan cial policies of Europe and ma nipulate its money? Wuen President Cleveland sent his Venezuelan mes sage to Congress and it met such an affirmative response from Congress and the American people, the money and stock . manipulators of England tried a bulldozing game by announc ing that we would have to seek the gold we needed somewhere else, at the same time dumping a . lot of American securities on the New York market with the expectation of cre ating a scare, perhaps a panic, and forcing a reaction on the Venezuela question. While this caught a" few of the papers which voice the money combinations of this country, some of the stock dealers and some whose commercial operations might be af fected by a rupture between' Eng land and this country, ' it didn't pan out as anticipated, and the , - result was that Americans got back sev eral, hundred " millions : of their securities at a bargain, it the game had not been played prematutely, and had been more skilfully played, it might have panned out a great deal better for them and might have done us an immensity of -harm. . If the money manipulators of Europe can, as a leading commercial journal of New York city says, "bankrupt us at their pleasure," If they can , nn- seme our marxets ana ran oar securities down when they feel like putting the clamps on us,1 isn't it about time that we had a financial system of our own. and declared our independence of the money combines of Europe We can doit' .We haye more wealth nrr,Hn;n than any other, country under the sun, are reputed" to be the richest I nation on. the earth," and yet are at uu i tne mercy ot tne money-hoarders of poorer- nations. As we are politically independent so snouia we be finan cially. - ; A Washington dispatch published yesterday announces that the- gold utki wiri8i Tttiiaff : coatem Inat tfi f ftaiary tflcfils believe It Is beifig dfan on to invest in the aeVlssoe for bondSi that they con demn soch" proceedings in strong terms, bnt are helpless, as "with the present:Jaws on the sUtute books they can see no way to legally stop inch withdrawals." With all due re spect for and deference to the Treas ury officials who condemn this raid ing In snch strong terins, there ts a way under the la w by which it can be stopped. The specie resumption act provides for the redemption of Gov ernment demand paper in VeetH," anJ it vests in the Secretary of the Treas ury the option as to which coin he will ! pay. The law nowhere vests that option ' in the note holders. There is not a line of law anywhere requiring the Secretary to pay in gold, and there is no authority nnder the law to borrow gold to make pay ment The law authorized the Treas ury to issue bonds in case of erner gency to borrow coin," not gold coin, but simply coin. To clear np any doubt that might exist on this question the resolution 011878, which passed both Houses of Congress by a practically unanimous vote, declared every dollar of indebtedness of this country could under the law be re deemed in standard silver dollars, and that it would be no breach of faith by this Government to redeem in silver. With such law upon the statute books, backed by such a resolution, . with no law requiring payment in gold, can't the Treasury officials see a way to "legally stop these withdrawals?" If they planted themselves on the law, exercised tne option given by law as it was contemplated they should exercise it, cot delegate it to the cote hold. rs, and offered silver instead of gold they would very soo stop th: withdrawals and do it legally, too. Bnt when they sit there, protest, and pretend to.be helpless when tbey are not Helpless, they will be on the tagged edge and it is their own fault if they are. If gold had not been discovered in the Transvaal country it would never-have been invaded by the forces of the South African Compa ny.. If it hadn't been discovered in the disputed territory in Venezuela, there would never be an insistance on the Schomburgk line..

Enormous quantities of citric acid are used in calico printing, in pharmacy and in the preparation of artificial lemonade. About 1 M ounces (570 grains) of pure citric acid dissolved in a pint of water gives! a solution which has the average acidity of good lemon juice. When di luted; with seTeral times its balk of wa ter. sWeetened with sugar and scented with a single drop of essence of lemon, an artificial lemonade is cheaply pro duced,' wbich is much used as a cooling drink in fever hospitals. It has also been used in the navy as a substitute for fresh lemon juice in-the treatment or prevention of scurvy, but has been found much less efficient. In fact, this artificial lemonade is by no means equal to that made from pure ; lemon juice, whether used at table or for invalids. In rheumatism or rheu matic gout the fresh juice of tbe lemon is preferred on account of the bicitrate of potash which it contains. Pure lemon juice is also a valuable remedy in sore throat and diphtheria. Cases have been recorded in which children have appar ently been cured of this terrible disease by constantly sucking oranges or lemons. Pure citric acid possesses, like some other acids, the power of destroying the bad! effects of polluted water used for drinking, but, it is perhaps best to boil the water before adding a little citric acid to it.

' feoHWDlHMs MADE FROM High Grcdo Tobacco ABSOLUTELY PURE js5 ly lV A GREAT FISHERMAN. Could ImjoA . His Prey From Waters Other Mem Fisbed Blank. Charles Grant had a great and well,. deserved reputation for finding a fish in Water which other men had fished blank. This was partly because, from long fa miliarity with the river, he knew all the likeliest casts, partly because he was sure to have at the end of his casting line just the proper fly for tbe size of water and condition of weather, and partly because of his quiet, neat handed manner of dropping his line on the war ter. There is a -story still current on Bnevside illustrative of this gift of Charlie in finding a fish where people who rather fancied themselves had fail- ed-7-a story which Jamie Shanks to this day does not care to hear. "Mr. Bussel of The Scotsman had doner his very best from the quick run at the top of the pool of Dalbreck, down to the almost J 3 4-;l1 tV.nWim Vio4- fine stretch, and had found no luck. Jamie Shanks, who was with Mr. Bussel as his fisherman, had gone over it to no purpose with' a fresh fly. They were grumpishly discussing whether I they should give Dalbreck another turn, or go on to Pool-o-Brock, the next pool down stream, when Charles Grant made his appearance and asked the waterside onestion. "What luck?" "No luck at all, Charlie!" was' Enssel's answer.
