AValla Walla Union : It wonld have
been better had Senator Sherman written
his antnbioeraDhv and left it for a post
mortem publication. Other public men
had preceded him and aired their polit

have deterred the senator from courting
a great deal of nasty controversy in old
age to mar his well earned fame, by ex
hibiting so much bitttness at his failure
to attain presidential honors.
Fall ti Winter Bry Goods,
The rflDort of the Nicaragua canal
commission wil' be a great disappoint
ment to the people of the Pacific slope.
The whole trend of the commissions
statements is unfavorable to the project
as now contemplated, and advises that
the enbject must be studied at greater
length, and more exact data obtained
before, the undertaking can be com
menced. A provisional estimate, made
by the commission, places the. probable
cost of the canal at $133,472,893, or
nearly double a former estimate of $69,
893,660, made by the Maritime Canal
Gompany. At the same timo thoir esti
mate is made the commissioners eay it
is liable as much to be an underesti
mate as over the mark. The topogram
phy of the countrv, the character of the
soil along the proposed route are so un
determined as yet, that the commission
states its inability to arrive at any esti
mate which it is willing to hazard as
correct.
The present report differs widely from
the statement sent out by the canal
company and made by the friends of the
enterprise in congress. As an example:
The Maritime Canal Company had pro
posed to build a rock fill dam, which
would bold the lake and river at a navi
gable elevation and connect the river
and the Carribean sea by a canal in ex
cavation. The canal company esti
mated the cost of this project at $977,
273; the commission eays this work can
not be done for less than $4,000,000.
Such discrepancies occur at various
places throughout the report. "
In order that the necessary know!
eldee mav be obtained upon which
more reliable estimates can be made,
the commission recommends that $350,
000 be appropriated by corgress for ad
ditional surveys and" examinations.
These latter should be completed with
in eighteen months.
Dampening as will these statements
be upon the ardor of those who are in
terested in the Nicaragnan project, it is
better that the truth be learned at the
beginning, and not that the enterprise
be begun under promises which are sure
to fail of realization. Very rarely do
the estimates made of any great work
prove too low and it is very probable
that .the report of the present commis
sion is nearer the truth than the pre
vious statements sent out by the canal
company. The building of this great
' witerway between the oceans will be a
tremendous undertaking and it is well
that it begun with all possible informa
tion in advance. The Panama canal,
which has proved the collossal failure of
recent years, was begun with the same
bright hopes that attend the Nicaragua
project. The recommendation of the
commission that a Bum be appropriated
sufficient to cover expenses of surveying
is wise and the appropriation ehould be
one of the first acts of the incoming
congress.
Although the report of the commission
is not what the proprietors of the canal
project would wish, yet in nowise should
it be ' allowed to hinder long this
splendid Bcheme for the quickening of
commerce between the Atlantic and the
Pacific. This project though once but a
dream, has now the commendation of
all who wish our country to grow in
greatness. The United States must have
the canal whether the cost be seven
million or twice as much.
Albany Herald : ' ,The next president
will be a man who occupies no middle
ground on the main question before the
people that of starting up our factories,
giving employment to idle woikmen,
and protecting our . own products and
people. KcKinley is such a man, and
bis aggressive ideas on the subject should
not be thought of as a bar to his nomin
ation. The country is just now in need
of this sort of aggressiveness.
Hiss Newman's Recital.
Boys' and Men's Clothing, Hats and Caps, Boots, Shoes, &c.
To a score or more of .music lovers
there was afforded a treat last Saturday
afternoon at a piano recital given by the
pupils of Miss Aimee Newman. Every-
one present felt that not only were the
pupils receiving a thorough musical edu-
cation; but they were besides taugnti
many most essential, thougr. usually
neglected, things. When participants
would modestly and correctly enter the
room, seat themselves at the piano, and
after playing gracefully acknowledge
the applause given, they showed very
plainly the good training tbey had re
ceived at the hands of a conscientious
teacher. While all reflected great credit
on their teacher and on themselves, and
made their friends feel justly proud, we
cannot refrain from . especially mention
ing the Beethoven . overture "Prome-
thus" by Clara Nickelsen and Georgia
Sampson, and the solo, "Les Phalenes,"
played by Lena Liebe. The "Sherzo. j
Valse" of Godard, by Miss Clara Nick
elsen, showed she had received excellent
training and that she could do herself
and her teacher honor when playing in
public. The last number on the pro
gram, of course, delighted all present, as
Miss Newman ever does. Always ap
pearing at her best, she has made the
people of The Dalles feel they have a
musician to be proud of in their midst.

An amusing paragraph Is gomg the
rounds of the eastern papers to the
effect that the hut made by Alexander
Selkirk on Juan Fernandez is about to
be torn down, and on its site are to be
erected buildings for the use of a penal
colony to be there established. This is
funny! Is it the way history is made?
A hut nearly two hundred years old
standing the tropical rains and hurri
canes of two centuries, now to be torn
down and demolished. The penal col
ony is already over a half century old.
Alexander Selkirk's hut may possibly
have lasted three months. The tangle
of tropical growth would bv that time
have obliterated all signs of its exis
tence. This is funnier than the tomb
of Adam.
The latest fad of the day is
San Francisco. This "craze"
combined merit of being both
and cheap. .
