Immense prollts , hut which It seems to ho al
most uniformly conceded oucht to bounder
the coutrol of the Unltod Stales govern
ment , ns a political necessity and from a
stratoijlo standpoint. The convention prom
ises to bo abundantly ft uilftil In result , and
boinir of a nonpolltlcnl character aud on-
tlrcly disassociated from the pnvnto corpo

public \\olcht and \vldo tnlluenco.
The present convention Is the sequel of a
former similar gathering nt St. Louis , held

the merchants of the Pnolllc. At their i-
Ktnncc , a convention hail been hold in Cali
fornia in March , as a ictuii of which Gov

the various states to appoint delegates to as-
komblo In the Mound ulty In convention to
momorinll/o congress to contract with the
ciinnl company to secure government control
In the completion of the canal so as to loduco
the co-it of construction to a minimum ai'd
limit the capitalisation to actual cost of coa-
ritru'ction , Tbo convention nt St. Louis was
well ut'ondcd mm was presided over by
Hon. George L. Converse. It had the effect
ofnddinii Force to the giowlng public scutl
incut in favor of fedoinl supervision un-l as
slstnnco In the building of the canal , and it
ndjourncd to rcconvnnu at a tlmo and place
to DO determined upon by the chairman nnd
the executive committee.
It wns"ln pursuance ot the authority con

and the executive committee selected Now

the convention. Invitations were extended

. executive coninnltco of the bt. Louis con
vention to the governors of the vations
i Htatcs nnd to nil the loading commercial or
i ganlinttons ntu : municipalities of the country
[ to appoint delegates to ruprcsent their 10-
I succllvo states or bodies liure. The responses
I rci-clvcd have exceeded the anticipations of
[ tbo promoters of the convention and tno in
dications point to u lar o and distinguished
I convention ,
L it is proper hero to rotor to the present ro-
I latlons bc.woen the government , and the
I canu' ' enterprise. In April , IS90 , n rosolu-
I lion was aUoptqd by the bonato directing the
I committee onforeign relation * to inquire
I into Iho condltiona and prospects ot the
I Maritime Canal compsnv of Nicaragua and
to conslilor and report what , in the opinion
I of the committee , the interests of the United
I States might require in rcspcctot intoroccnnlc
I communication. The committee , compris-
I ing some ol the ablest men in tbo senate of
I both political purtiL 5banlcicd Into a patient
I nnd thorough Investigation of tbo subject
i matter presented for tholrconsideration , and
i finally submitted u report with a bill whoso
pussago the committee reco.nmended. The
honators who signed this report were Sher
man and Payne of Ohio. Edmunds of Ver
mont , Fiyo of Alamo , Kvarts of Now York ,
Dolpli of Oregon , Morgan of Alabama ,
> Crown of Georgia and Kustls of Louisiana ,
I The plan proposed in the bill was dictated
I by the committee and agreed .o by the com-
t l > any , subject to the approval of congress.
I The bcnuto had undertaken an In-
I vcsllgation of the hubjoct because
I of its great public importancu and Inuepend-
I out of the company. The bill was not.
I passed , but it is urged that congress ought
I Hpecillly to take it up and pass it or nn
I amended bill so that Iho company may not
I bo dolnycd In the completion of the work by
I any groundless hope of governments ! assist-
I unco.
I The canal ontnrnnso has no lobby or
I agency nt Washington , nnd the proposals of
I tliu committee wcio not regurdcit ns specially
F' advatilacooub to the promoters of tbo enter-
I prise. The committee In its later report
I uubmittod the documents , nnglnoerlng sur-
I vovs , etc. , upon which llnding tbo report
I was based , and ex Dressed the opinion that
t the onginnorlng and other plans wcto saUs-
I factory , Iho route selected practicable , the
I estimates reasonable , nnd the probabilities
I of traftlc such as to render the uudertaldug
I llnanclally safo.
I There nro two companies interested in the
I tnattor , OHO of which Is the possessor of tbo
I concessions from the Nlcaraguan govcrn-
I inont und the other ot which has undertaken
I the contrcct to milld the canal. The con-
I elusions of the co'umlttoo were unanimous ,
I and U was providcit that in thn event that
I the government Miould undertakii to gnar-
I un lee the bond : of the company It was to bo
I ptolcctcil ugalnst liability by Che privilege

case iho minister 'cannot bo expected to go

to break awoyi and iouna another church
would bo schismatiu.'nml ' sinful. Thcro are
lee many Beets already. Testimony on the
ihst charge was pot all in when access was
talcnn. 4
Prof. Smith admitted that he wrote the
articles ultod and said bo had no testimony
to offer in defense ,
Dr. Lowe of thb prosecution urged him lo
offer something by way of disavowal of what
the committee had charged tnat his articles
tuugnt , but the defendant stood on his rights
ana said ho preferred to disprove the com
'
mittee's charge and'not todlsuvow or to give
an Interpretation. Ho htHd that the com
mittee's interpretation of his luncuago was
not warranted. This being Iho Issue , Mr.
Lowe made the opening argument.
Prof. Smith replied with brevity. Ho
complained of tbo ambiguity of the charge ,
which might mean to cbargb him with dis
loyalty , iho denial of the discipline or a denial -
nial of bis vows. Whllo a majority might
not convict htm of Any ono of Inojo charees ,
this ambiguity allows any one who liniis htm
guilty of any one ofthese charges to vote to
sustain all the charges.
The closing argument was made by Dr.
McKibben of the prosecuting committee. He
was careful to say that the question was
sltnnVy whether from the testimony adduced
bv the unmraltlco Us Interpretation of which
Prof. Smith has taught , is correct. His ar
gument followed closely the language of the
articles dntatliag Iho commltlco's position.

this will not bo enough , Under

allowed. Pension payments under the law

commissioner hearilly commends iho dlsa-
bllity act.
ITnl.uonililo Comment ,
Tha commlsstonor admits that slnca the
passapo of that law thcro has been n great
deal of unfavorable comment upon the pen
sion system in gonctul , anu that it has boon
said that Iho country Is In ( lancer of being
bankrupted bv extravagant nnd undeserving
pension legislation. "IJut , " ho comments ,
"a casual consideration of the great change
in the mode of the lives of these men nnd
the conditions to which military life in
timoof war subjected them , must sugcosl
that the strain upon Iho llfo powers
of the soldier was so great as
to make permanent - Inroads upon the
vital forces , which would nccjssavjly result
in iho development of n multitude of ail
ments and disabilities beyond Iho roach of
medicine. It Is this class of citizens who
now constitute the great body of those who
are on Iho pension lolls. Good health nnd
Iho ability to perform labor were tholr
capital , when they were In a * great measure
depriveil.of their moans ol support. A very
largo proportion of the men who carried the
muskets have bson unable to keep up with
their neighbors who icmalned at homo in the
great struggle of life , nud the claims of thcso
persons for nsslstanoo from the government
rests upon the broad foundation of Justice. "
Orlsln.il Cases of the Year.
Continuing , tha report s'ates thot during
tbo past Ilscal year 2 4,017 cortiflcates were
issued in original cases and 79.731 In incroasu
claims. Commissioner Raum is of the opin
ion that the adjudication of these claims will
bo substantially completed at the close of
ISO I , when the highest number of pensioners
ever to bo on tlio rolls will bavo bcon placed
thcro. There are 4IS'570 ' ordinal claims
pending , pf which r.uihbor 109,000 are appar
ently complete. It is important , both for the
claimants and the government , to dispose of
the , original cases us .s'oon ns possible'ns first
payments date from the tiling of aaelurn-
tions and are at Iho average rate of $11 a
month.
During the year first payments were made
In 41)1)-lOIl ) ) cases , reoulrmg nn eicD'inditura of
543,144,107 , includlPzi.VU.-'U original claims ,
amounting lo f J7.8bl,28S. The avoragn value

$127.19. The aggregate annual value of the
87(5.003 ( pensions on the rolls Juno : ! 0 , 1S'J3.

yuar there was u balance on hand trom

ment of Iho work done under thy Cleveland
and Harrison udministrations , llo Bays :
"Tho lotal number of original crrlldcntos
issued from March , ISs'.l , to October HI.

The avoruij/cost to the government oteacb
