These comparisons show that, no matter
what the nominal wages may be, it costs
less to mine coal in Pennsylvania than in
Europe, and if the tariff' confers a benefit
on anybody it is not on the miner, who is
paid less for his iubor, in proportion to its
Tlie Panama Canal's ItiVnl.
The bill incorporating the , company
which is to undertake the great work of
cbnstructing the Nicaragua Canal passed
the Senate Monday by a considerable ma
jority. A rather singular feature about
the vote is that it was divided almost
strictly upon sectional lines, no North
ern Senator voting against it and only six
Southerners in its favor. The Senators
from Georgia and Alabama, Mr. Daniel,
of Virginia, and Mr. Gorman, of Mary
land, voted for the bill." Why the vote
should be divided in this way is not readily
understood, unless the bill lias been
changed materially since first printed. The
measura.wil'. also probably pass the House
without any great difficulty.
The company which desires to undertake
the great work of constructing this canal
is made up of Americans, and if ever com
pleted, it will be, under the terms of the
concessions by Nicaragua,almost absolutely
in the control of our government, being
practically a strip of American territory,
stretching from ocean to gulf. That a
company should be organized and much
money spent in- preliminary work while
operations are still going on at Panama,
where more money has already been spent
than the Nicaragua canal is estimated to
cost, Bhows a profound conviction on the
part of American engineers that
M. de Lesseps’s canal is a fail
ure and must he abandoned. The
commencement of active work
in Nicaragua will go far to convince even
the French of the same thing.
Commerce lias long fretted against the
thin barrier which divides the Gnlf of
Mexico from the Pacific and adds thou
sands of miles to voyages from Europe or
the Eastern States to the western coast of
the continent. This impatience is illus
trated in the inception of the Nicaragua
(enterprise, just when immense disaster
threatens a similar undertaking. The
world seems to have determined that lli
barrier shall be broken down, at what'
ever cost, and in the stiortest time possi
ble
If there is to bo a canal, it is certainly
est that it should be an American canal,

The death of little Jessie Alford, in
Atlanta, from the effect of a mixture of
chloroform and ether which she inhaled
preparatory to the dressing of a wound,
will attract very general attention. The
case has a deep scientific interest to the
medical profession, and the intelligent
public is also concerned in it.
The doctor who attended the patient and
who am'ptitatcd her leg, which was crushed
liy a railroad car about two months ago,
says that the quantity of amesthetic used
wus smaller than usual, and could hardly
of itself have produced death. He stip-
l>oses that the sufferings of thc child hail
been relieved by frequent administrations
of chloroform until her system had become
so saturated with it that the final in

Less than a year ago a well known citizen
of Pennsylvania died under thc effect of an

Dr. Agnew. The case was largely dis

physicians who gave their opinions then
there are some constitutions whicii cannot
stand anwsthetics, and almost nny human
system is subject to conditions which make
the use of annwthetics very dangerous.
Accidental deaths from this cause are
especially unfortunate because they create
