been subsidized in favor of tlds scheme.
At the close of the last session of con
gress the matter was brought before it,
but only with a view of having it inau
gurated for an organized movement this
year. Everything is now ready for the
raid of the Nicaraguan canal company
on the United States treasury. This
company is exceedingly modest, and
only asks for one hundred million doll
of the government’s money to build a
canal which Is to bo their private prop
erty, and which w ill cost about seventy-
five million dollars to construct.
The company will issue, probably
one hundred million in stock, one hun
dred million of six per eent. first mort
gage bonds, and having secured
hundred million dollars from the Uni
ted States government will construct the
immense issue to care for, there will
never be enough over current expenses
to pay the interest on the government
loan.
And this is not even a new plan for
looting the treasury; it is precisely the
same method that was adopted by the
Union and Central PacTic, which has
resulted in these roads owing * he gov
ernment to-day one hundred and thirty
million dollars, which there is no pros
pect of recovering until that unknown
day arrives when the “cows come
home.”
It is now a settled fact that the al
liance will not organize a third party in
the south. The peoplo there have
sense enough to understand that Sena^
tor Gorman is no alarmist, and that he
is one of the wisest and most conserva
tive leaders of the democratic party.
When ho announced, as ho has done,
that tliero is danger in tho event of the
farmers forming a third party in tho
south, that tho forco bill will come to
tho front and pass tho house. People
there are ready to accept his word, and
to refrain from any fiction that would
pjace them in danger of federal bayo
nets, dominating tho ballot box for the
purposo of producing negro ami carpet
bag dominion.
Much the largest part of *tho adminis
tration is at liar Harbor, Maine, as Mr.
Illaine’s hat covers about all the brains
of the present booming outfit, and Mr.
lilaine has worked so hard that he is a
| very sick man, requiring absolute rest
for some months to come. Wo pan see
betw’een now ami October bow little
Denny gets along without any leading
! strings, unless llhiino has provided
i some one to tako care of him whilst ho
is absent. It is said that provision of
I that kind has bcemmade, and that Gen
eral Foster, a skillful diplomat and a
man of brains, is to take charge of little
lien during Maine's absence.
Thcro seems to bo some misunder
standing between Harrison and Boss
Quay. The latter has announced that
the Pennsylvania delegation will be
solid for Blaine in 1802, with Alger as a
second choice, and a number of repub
licans aro expressing doubts as to wheth
er little Bon can secure tho delegation
from his own state, as it is said that
Dudley and Houston have sharpened
their knives and are ready for the fray,
tho motto being anybody but little Ben.
