Canal. ‘From the Baltimore Sun, to-day. The maintenance of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal as a waterway promises to be an assured fact, if the wishes and purposes of the leading men in the democratic party are potent with the legts- lature. ‘The plans of relief for the canal are being discussed. Ohe of these is for the controller vo take the $500,000 of repair bonds for the State sinking-fund, and to hold them in the treasury. They are a mortgage on the corpus of the canal, which 1s estimated to be worth in any event sev- eral times that amount, ‘There 13 a flve-years’ op- tion for calling in the bonds, which were tssued in 1878. Once called in the canal Would be relieved Of ‘thts $30,000 annual interest, Which it cannot how earn, and would be in shape to keep going. ‘The other suggestion, which is approved by the attorney-general, 1s" for the legislature to 483 an amendinent to the constitution strik- ing out the Words that prohibit the State from ap. Propriation of money to meet such cases as this of the canal. It is argued that as help can be given Lo hospitals and other institutions as the exigencies arise, the people would willingly agree that the canal, an important work, 1n wich the State has a large interest, should not fail for want of pru- dent help. In ‘the two years before the people could pass upon and the next legislature approve Of the amendment, the treasiry, 50 it ts s ed, could make the coupons of one oF more of the over: due repair bond interest payments for the sinking- fund, and prevent the foreclosure sale of the prop- erty. ‘The idea is to keep the canal going as a cheap means of transportation, and notto advance any large sums to it, but to look to it to earn oper- ating expenses, “ coe Pitteburg’s Girl Drummer.
