TUESDAY-
.OCTOBER 1C, 18SS
The "campaign ot intellect" is los
ing ground in New York. The World
calls the Sun "that malicious senile
yarlet and treacherous too of the Dem
ocratic party."
The mania for arming has struck
South America. The Argentine Re
public is going to increase its regular
army from 7,000 to 33,000 men. When
this increase shall have been reached,
the Argentine army will be consider
ably larger than that of the United
States.
TnE Philadelphia Record, after a
careful estimate of J the probable in
crease in the native and foreign popu
lation of the United States, is firm in
the belief that the nest census of 1890
will give us a popuiation of over 70,
000,000, divided as follews: Native,
68,522,479; foreign born, 11,800,000.
A Nebraska paper says: Nebraska
railway bridges are now being used
for legitimate purposes. This is much
better than to burthen them with
corpses. "When criminals are to be
punished the law should be allowed
to take its course, else trees should bo
selected in preference to bridges.
Most people are under the impres
sion that China is an overpopulated
country, and that the constant flow
of emigration is due to that cause
and that alone. "We arc now, how
ever, told by no less an authority than
the Marquis Tseng that this is entire
ly an erroneous idea. The emigra
tion, he says, has been caused by the
ruin brought about by recent rebell
ions, and not by difficulty of finding
subsistence undor ordinary condi
tions. A VIGOROUS PROTEST.
Thero is a difference of opinion
among engineers regarding the time
and amount ot money it will take to
make the locks at the Cascades pas
sable to boats. Mr. D. P. Thompson
stated positively that major Post had
informed him that the present appro
priation was sufficient to finish the
locks so far as to admit the passage
of boats, and that major irost had so
informed major Handbury. In con
tradiction ot this major Handbury
says it will take several years to so
far complete the locks as to admit
the passage of boats during' high
water. This direct issue between
these engineers was brought ont in
the Waterway convention in its pro
ceedings of Wednesday. Tne year
before major Jones was removed from
the management of the work at the
locks he informed several of our citi
zens that with an appropriation of
500,000 ho could make the locks
passable for boats, which simply cor
roborates the testimony ot major
Post The old saying that "when
doctors disagree who shall decide" is
applicable to engineers. But this
disagreement the people should un
derstand, and farther, what causes
this divergence ot opinion in a matter
in which our citizens are interested
should be made plain. As far as pos
sible this subject should receive some
investigation, and the reasons ascer
tained and made public why it takes
such a long time to complete a work
of such urgency. Already over one
million dollars has been spent on the
locks, and according to reported esti
mate ot major Handbury, as stated to
the Waterway convention, it will re
quire nearly $3,000,000 more to com
plete the enterprise. The boards of
trade ot the different cities of the
inland empire should appoint a com
mittee to inquire into this matter,
and ascertain the reason why reputa
ble engineers say the present approb
ation is sufficient to open the river at
the Cascades, to the passage of boats
and the engineer in chargo state that
it will require over two millions to
complete the work. We are not liv
ing in Russia or any othar absolute
monarchy, but in a free country in
which all people have rights which
are bound to be respected, even by
the secretary ot war or a board of en
gineers. Let the people assert their
rights in the most emphatic manner,
and demand an investigation. The
timo has long since passed whon we
shall lie idly down in a supine
condition, and allow any misfea
sance or questionable proceeding
in this enterprise. There is
no object in holding annual meetings
of Waterway conventions or receiving
liberal appropriations if boards of en
gineers can change the plans so as to
retard the work indefinitely. The
people must know the facts in this
case, and if necessary they will ap
peal to congress, where, at least, they
may expect fairness and justice.

Niagara Falls. N . Y.. Oct. 15.
The four Chinamen continue to be
the wards of the Grand Trunk rail
way. The Grand Trunk authorities
have done everything in their power
to got them across the frontier, even
communicating with the authorities
at Washington. Each time the re
ply came that they cannot be allowed
to enter the country. The Chinamen
have now sent a communication to
the Chinese ambassador at Washing
ton. No doubt the matter will become a
national question between China and
the United States and possibly Can
ada and the United States.
The feeling here is that the
Canadian government should object
to Canada being made the dumping
ground for the Chinese pauper popu
lation of the United States, they
being made paupers by the United
States authorities not allowing them
to return to their places of business
and work. '

that all Chinese now in tho harbor,
as well as those on the way here from
China, must be sent back to their
own country. Judge Sawyer an
nounced the decision verbally, stating
that he would not bo able to produce
a corrected copy of the decision until
this afternoon. Notice, was given by
the attorneys that the cases would be
appealed to the United States su
preme court. Judge Sawyer allowed
ten days for preparing tho appeal
papers.
A CORRECT DECISION.
Washington, Oct. 15. The treas
ury department decides that when ar

dr. Mackenzie's book.
London, Oct, 15. Tho Jirilish
Medical Journal publishes a synop
sis of Sir Morrell Mackenzie's forth
coming book. The doctor asserts
emphatically that Emperor Freder
ick received his death blow April
12th, when, through the' clumsiness
of Dr. Bergman in his operation on
the emperor's throat, a false passage
was forced through tho trachea, from
which tho fatal symptoms soon de
veloped. Butfor this blunder, Dr.
Mackenzie claims that the emperor
would have lived at least ten months
longer. Dr. Mackenzie handles the
German doctors without gloves and
docs not hesitate to uccuse them of
incompetency.
