The row in the French chamber of
depuMes over the Panama canal will be
the means of turning a powerful search
light upon the affairs of the Nicaragua
canal. The American people want the
canal, but they want it free from scan
d-U. It is understood that a hot fight
will be made against the proposition in
congress, and that an attempt will be
made to show improper scheming and
gross corruption. Against this the
defense will be made that British in
terests are intriguing against the United
States.'and that this fight is being di
rected by Englishmen. The time has
not vet arrived for an expression of
opinion one way or the other. The
American people know practically noth
ing as yet of the workings of this canal
enterprise. By following the debates 5u
congress they will learn much that is
now hidden, and will be better qualified
a year hence to paBS in judgment upon
this important undertaking.
The authorities of Colorado are getting
on to some of the U. P. R. tricks. A
Denver dispatch says that by means of
the falsification of weights by- employes
of the Union Pacific railway, five firms
have for a long time monopolized the
grain trade in" Colorado. ' Grain
cheaper along th( Missouri and Burling
ton and Kock Island lines than the
Union Pacific, yet during August, Sep
tember and October the Missouri and
Burlington received only 318 carloads of
grain against 1331 by the Union Pacific
A complaint has been drawn up against
. Otto A. Canfield, a Union Pacific clerk.
charging him with forgery. It is al
leged that the grain ring paid him $50
a month to underweiah carp, and
through these frauds made $20 to $40
car. Other employes,' some of a higher
grade than clerks, are suspected of being
concerned in the conspiracy.
The refusal of Judge Robinson of
Olympia, to naturalize' twenty-fonr ap
' vhcants who could neither read nor
write, or understand the English lan
guage, lends a new dignity and valne to
the citizenship of every man. Euch of
these applicants, in order to perfect his
citizenship, must have been in the
: country at least five years, and yet he
had not manifested interest enough in it
' to learn its language. He could know
but little about its institutions, and evi
dently cared but little about them. If
he knew what a vote meant he certainly
was not qualified to use it. The fault
was wholly his own. In this country of
free schools, free thought and free
speech, no man, whatever h's condition,
is excusable for dense ignorance of this
kind.

- of the way in which freight business is
being turned to the ocean carriers, the
experience of a Portland hardware mer
chant, who ships goods to Chicago by

to Chicago. He says that irom Port
