THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
' The Nicaragua canal ia going to re
ceive whole lots of attention at the hands
of this congress, and it will not be at all
surprising if the bill in aid of its con
struction becomes a law. It is true that
at present the national income is not
large enough to defray the national ex
penses, but this is only a temporary em
barrassment. One hundred million
dollars seems like a large sum, but.it is
trifle for this government. We pay a
half more than that each year for pen
sions. With business again running on
its usual basis, the surplus of one year
would suffice to do the work. The bene
fits would be inestimable, and indeed,
no man can conceive what traffic will be
done through that canal fifty years hence
when the population of this western con
tinent will have been quadrupled. The
time has arrived when the canal should
be built, for while recognized as a neces
sity now what will it be when the trade
that it will benefit will have been in
creased tenfold.
This administration has the oppor
tunity to partially redeem itself, and by
building this canal to take the sting from
the taunt that the democratic party
knows not how to govern. It has the
opportunity, and in the language of
Bulwer Lytton, "What will it do with
It?".
THE RULE NEEDED.
Senator Vest yesterday made a strong
speech in favor of adopting a new rule
concerning the closing of debate: ' The
proposed rule is that after a subject has
been debated thirty days any senator
may move to fix a date for a final vote,
which motion shall not be debatable.
Senator Dolph made violent opposition
to the motion, which is not at all to his
credit. Tom Reed pricked the bubble
of unlimited debate and let the gas out
of it, and the country, regardless of
politics indorsed his very sensible rul
ings. Thirty days is long enough in all
conscience to debate any question, and
as the senate is supposed to be a law
making body instead of a debating soci
ety, some rule by which debates can be
terminated must be adopted.
Senator Vest called attention to the
way time was wasted by senators at the
last term by reading or causing to be
read the census reports. The country is
tired of nonsense. It wants its legisla
tors to make such laws as are needed,
and then it wants them to adjourn.
. Senator Dolph may object, but we
call his attention to the fact that his
objection, if persisted in, may cause the
whole matter to be without interest to
him after March 4th. '
COUNT YAM AG ATA.
Count Yamagata, the commander-in-chief
of the Japanese army, sprang from
very humble origin. He is a son of a
workingman, and the fact that he
has risen from the rank of a private
soldier to his present position is the
more remarkable, considering the exclu
siveness of Japanese society. The genius
of a great general lodges in his brain, for
be has displayed the highest qualities as
a soldier from the beginning of his career.
Already Yamagata ie ranked abroad as
the peer of such great generals as Na
poleon, Wellington and Moltke. It
must make Germany sick to find that
Japan has wrested from her the title of
a nation of warriors, and by most bril
liant prowess fastened the eyes of the
whole world on this army of "little
men." Boston Herald.
Hon. Charles Fulton of Astoria is a
candidate for United States senator, to
succeed Senator Dolph. Mr. Fulton is
an able lawyer, a clever gentleman and
a royally good man, but he will not be
senator this time. What the future may
have in store for him we do not pretend
to say but the election next month is as
good as over so far as the certainty of
the result is concerned. Senator Dolph
will be succeeded by Hon. Joseph N.
Dolph. Then who shall say that Oregon
is in favor of free silver? Here is a fair
test of that disputed matter. The legis
lature that will elect a successor to Sen
ator Dolpb was chosen at the last elec
tion, and consequently is fresh from the
people. If Oregon is in favor of free
Bilver, let the senatorial fight decide it.
Dolph is a goldite, how then can he be
elected to succeed himself if "a majority
of the republicans of this state are in
favor of free silver?"
The matter of selecting a state flower
is again being agitated. At Hood River
some two years ago the state horticul
tural society selected the Oregon grape
as being peculiarly fitted for this place
of honor, but now some of the esthete
wants something else. If it is absolutely
necessary that the state have a flower
all its own, we suggest- that it stick by
the Oregon grape, unless indeed Jeff
Myers can be persuaded to accept the
position '
The trial of Bunco Kelly at Portland
for the murder of George Sayres is at
tracting considerable interest, and the
testimony is weaving a strong chain
around the defendant. The Portland
press has had considerable to say con
cerning Dalles justice, and we sincerely
hope we shall not have to indulge in the
retort courteous, and hurt our own feel
ings by showing oar Portland neighbors
their own shortcomings.
It looks now' as if Astoria was really
going to have a railroad. We sincerely
hope that she is, and that the present
contract will be finished in time to al
low . all of .us pencil-pushers to come
down when the clams are ripe and re
joice with our energetic neighbor on the
opening of the road. That's one of the
grand openings we wonld like to assist
in celebrating..
NEEDS A DELICATE TOUCH.
The Diamond Setter and Ills Method of
Fixing; Precious Stones
Few people outside the jewelry trade
have any idea how the brilliants they
buy and wear are fastened into their
setting's, and a great many retail jew
elers who have sold jewelry for years
are equally as ignorant, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. The art of setting
jewelry is comparatively simple, the
skill of a setter depending on his knowl
edge of the strength of material and
the delicate touch required, which can
only be gained by years of practice.
There are only four distinct methods
of setting a diamond, though mount
ings are made which involve two or
more of these methods. The most com
mon is the clamp, or claw, setting.
This comes to the setter with every
clamp as straight and square as a fence
picket. He imbeds this mounting,
whatever it may be, in warm shellac
on the end of a stick (six inches of
broom handle is generally used) leav
ing the setting exposed. This cools
and holds the delicate pieces of jew
elry firm in all parts. He then, with a
thin file, sharpens all the clamps,
bringing them up to sharp points.
Then with a scraper or graver shaped
like a chisel (all of his cutting tools are
miniature chisels of different shapes),
he digs out a bearing or shoulder for
the edge of the stone on the inside oi
each clamp; he now, with a pair of
sharp-pointed pliers, bends the clamps
inward or outward as they happen to
require, until the stone will just squeeze
into the circle of clamps.
Then the stone is pressed firmly down
until the edge rest squarely on the
bearing of each clamp. This leaves the
edge of the clamps sticking up past the
edge of the stone. The next step is to
push all these ends over the edge and
burnish them tight. A pushing tool is
used for this, a piece of soft steel about
three inches long, filed to a small square
end and fitted in a round handle.
When the clamps are all firm in their
places they are bright-cut, as the term
is. The clamps are trimmed to a point
with three cuts, two on the sides and
one on the top. The setter cuts away
from the stone, and must be careful
not to dig too deep into the gold, or
he will push the whole clamp away
from the stone; then, to make a good
job, the stone must come out and the
clamp be bent inward again. Some
who . manufacture the finest goods do
not believe in bright-cutting clamps on
rings, as the sharp edges left are very
severe on gloves worn over them. A
setter employed by these firms merely
files the clamp to a point, and the pol
isher buffs it round on top when the
work gets its last finish.
FOOLING WITH
MOONSHINERS.
Only
One of the United States Deputy
Marshals Came Back Whole.
It was known in the United States
marshal's office at Nashville that wild
cat whisky was coming down the Cum
berland river. The marshal was new
in office, says Opie Read in one of his
yarns, and therefore was determined
to ao ms auty, which, of course, was
to see that the illicit distilleries, no
matter hov remote, should be de
stroyed, and that the distillers should
be brought to justice. His predecessor
in office had been likewise determined,
and had sent brave men to the moun
tains, but whisky had continued to
come down the Cumberland river. The
present marshal, Capt. Hayes, an old
confederate officer, said that 'he thought
that when the boys found out that he
really wanted them to quit they would
do so. He understood them, he knew
their natures, their impulsiveness and
their disposition to yield to persuasion.
So he sent a deputy and four men to
tell the boys to quit. One night about a
week later some one rang the door bell,
and the marshal himself went to the
door.
"Why," said he, "have you got back,
Caney?"
Caney answered: "Yes, just about."
"Where is the deputy marshal?"
"Well, he's back, too."
"Why didn't he come round?"
"Well, I 'lowed that his folks needed
him more than you did, so I unloaded
him there."
"What, do you mean that he's hurt?"
"No, not hurt now, but he was. He's
dead at present. I'm the only one that
got back whole."
"Well, I declare. Didn't you tell
those boys that I wanted them to quit
their foolishness?"
"Yes, and they must have been hard
of hearing, for they kept on a-shoot-
ing."
