The Islhmus Canal.
A Panama dispatch of Thursday
says canal mutters do not progress
favorably. Stations have been
abandoned, brigades have disband
ed, many engineers have returned
home and workmen 'discharged.
In the meantime accounts from
Paiis iepreent everything as
booming, and that adds to the dis
gust of people. The Panama Star
and Herald of June (5th. says of
De Lesseps ceurse:
Frankly, we would like to see a
little more accomplished on the
-isthmus, and less blowing in Paris,
about this business. Enthusiasm
in Paris does not go a long way in

ennra-rcments common to new on-1

De Lesseps and ins managers over
the way pa' their engineers and
other employes heie better sal
aries, give them more ample pow
ers, better oppoitunity and more
encouragement to show the stuff
they are made of, and we probably
will Haven canal maacmeigJit years i
at oriffinal estimates.
The world'
will be (mite satisfied with that ac
complishment, and De Lesseps can j

A Tombstone paper says that,
recently a countryman walked into j
one of the gambling houses there!
and wanted to know if a man i
could bet anvthitt!?. He was!
promptly answered: "Bet allvoui
please; bet anything you e got."
The countryman walked out nnd 1
returned in a moment and placed '
upon the table a living Gila
monster, whereupon there was a
big rush, all hands being only too'
glad to get away.
The New York legislature has
taken the tisk of an adverse Su
preme-court decision by passing a
law which imposes a head-tax of
one dollar on every steerage pas
senger from abroad. The tax is to
be paid by the steamship compan
ies, and the law provides that in
cases of default to pay, the vessel
io defaulting may be libelled.
This tax is to meet the expenses
of inspection and temporary sup
port which the commissioners are
often compelled to extend to des
titute immigrants. New Yoikers
have complained time and again
that as all parts of the country
were bidding for the immigration,
they were more benefited by it than
their state, and that, therefore, the
nation should assume at least a por
tion of the outlay. Its appeals to
congress in this behalf met no
response. Just look at the inflow
from abroad to the port of New
York, as stated by its local papers:
Four steamers latrded 2,22C immi
grants at Castle-garden on the .lst
of May, making the total for the
month 7C,G52, an increase of 21,
917 over May 1SS0, and an in
crease of 12,S02 over the total ar
rivals of the entire yearinlS77.
The total since January 1st to
May 31st is 1SL,?49, as against
235,330 in the same period last
year. This tax will, of course,
come from the immigrants; but,
on the other hand, it will be dis
bursed for their comfort and pro
tection. No such law would be
needed if congress were to do its
dutv.
The rrlUCTllle Konlc.
Doubtle&H mucli of this btar
route business merits all the indig
nation heaped upon it, but the at
tempt at smartness by the New
York Times in its remarks upon
the route between The Dalles
and Prinevillc, the Mountaineer
says, is unworthy of that pa
per and would hardly hare
been written had they been
acquainted with the facts. The
truth of the matter is, that Pnne
ville is a rapid growing place of
about six hundred people with a
rich country around it. and that
instead of one hundred and fifty
people at that place and none
between it and The Dalles, as the
article mentioned has it, there are
several thousand people who get
their mail by that loute, and the
number is increasing at a rate
not eoual on the coast. The
sum oi "siu.uuu ib not cnougn
t Pa-V ,nrC t,,an fa,r Pr0fit
on capital invested, as stock,
