The strenuous struggle of the ad ministration to force congress to adopt the lock type of canal at Pan ama. against the advice of the great est hydraulic engineers from all countries, because it could he built in less time, has been given fresh and ominous warning by t v serious accident in the Manchester. Ragland, ship canal. The engim e— in the ev idence before the senate committee argued against the Plan of putting three locks in flight at Gatun, as in the accented project for the Panama canal, thus putting all the eggs in one basket. They maintain that if bv ac cident a shi;> should get out of control and crash through the gates of one lock she would be certain to carry out all three; whereupon the canal would be drained, and it would he the work oi two or three years to put Humptv Dumptv back again. Well, something very like that, in minature. hcipened at the Irlam locks of the Manchester canal. A steamer of only 700 tons, the Cassia, by some blunder made for the wrong lock, instead of the one filled to receive her. Though she had but little way on her she smashed through one of the gates, the weight of water broke in the oth ers. and the safety gates which were promptly set were also speedily swept away, and all the water higher up the canal poured out to sea. '1 raffle was entirely suspended for two days, till the spare steel gates could he got in place. It was. of course, a comparatively simple affair in such a canal, but imagine an accident of the kind at Gatun. at eighty-five feet above the s a! The sea-level plan which was pre ferred by the Democrats is more costly and would take somewhat long er to construct, but there is no doubt would in the end be cheaper and safer. State this fall. Why not make it unanimous; it's time to turn the ras cals out. ♦ * * If the armor trust is as grateful to the administration as it should be, the Republican Congressional cam paign committee should not suffer for lack of funds. * * * The government is spending this year $20,000,000 more than its total revenue in 1897.

Press reports from New York re port that the secretary of the treas ury when in that city a few days ago authorized the statement that he would promptly deposit money in the banks if money became hardened, aand that lie would immediately re turn to the banks in the shape of pub lic deposits the monev -of ! ved from the sale of the Panama canal bonds. So the banks under this arrangement are to have their cake and eat it. too. They buy the canal bonds and draw th" interest and our kind and devoted friend of tbe corporations, the sec retary of the treasury, will hand them back the money “if money becomes hardened.” and who can doubt the rates will not "harden” under such an incentive. If the rates ’ harden” to pt'-bt per cent, the banks would be able to loan the $30,000,000 at the rate of $2,400,000 a year and at the samp time be drawing the regular in terest of two per cent, on the bonds, or $000,000 . The question naturally arises, why did the administration sell Panama bonds when the monev was not need ed in the treasury?
