PANAMA AND NICARAGUA ROUTES ; Consensus of Opinion in Favor of a W:terway. JOINT OWNERSHIP DISCUSSED Seg ees From the New York Tribune. The only proper course in connection with the canal enterprise is that outlined in the President's message. That is to let affairs remain exactly as they now are until this government's investigating commission shall have made the fullest possible report upon the subject, and for this government then to take Such action as seems to it wise and proper; and in any event for the canal to be, from first to last, under the control of the United States.

Any canal conne. ting the Atlantic and Pacific, which the United States builds or assists to build, must be the sole pre erty of this people, nd must not only be owned, but must be operated by this gov- ernment. The United States must. con- struct, own and operate a canal itself. 4 Vigorous in the presentation of that s ene From the New York Herald (ind.) ‘Che sentiment of mutual good will now animating the peoples ef Great Britain and the United tates would be strengthenea by ther common undertaking of this work of such vast importance to the commerce ot the world.

Hence the Panama p. will seek to unload by hook or crook. they cannot drive a good bargain on the common commercial level, they will force the dicker by threatening the United Stz s at their weakest point. Their weakes peint is that the Congress of the United States is not authorized to build canals in Central America without the consent of any other nation. es From the Chicago Times-Herald (rep.) Whatever the prospects or projects of the Panama company may be, our government must go ahead with the Nicaraguan canal. It is a strategic necessity in war, and is de- manded by the requirements of our com- mercial expansion. We cannot afford to dep nd upon an: vate company or a corporation of foreign- ers. We urgently need an isthmian canal, and it must be built in the near future, and must be controlled by the government of the United es. From the Philadelphia Record (ind. It is evident that great pressure is to be brought to bear to get Uncle Sam to fur- i millions of dollars needed to dig Nicaragua canal. “Indispensable” is the word used by President McKinley; but the indispensabiiity argument rests rather upon assumption than fact. Trade between our Atlantic coast ard the Philipp nes could neve be diverted to the Nicaragua route. ‘Trade, like water, flows in the direction of least resistance dem.) Prom the Louisville Courier-1 It is likely that the conte: 1 (dem.). between the two compan for the privilege to ec struct the canal may hurry up congre sional action on the subject. That thi: the object of the rivalry is not so clear, though it would not be surprising if such were the case. But the Panama route appears so far to have attracted little sup- port. Frem the Baltimore Herald (ind.). It is clearly the consensus of public opin- ion that Congress, at the present session, could not devote its time to a more impor- tant labor than the adoption of a measure which will insure the speedy construction of a canal across the Isthmus of Darien. It may be that it will be Gne or more gen- erations before we have another war, but the prime need of a passageway between the two oceans is suggested more by com- mercial than defensive reasons, The growing manufactures, agriculture and population of this country demand that we should have an open route to the orient in order that we may enjoy the privileges of a fair competition for the eastern trade, and, as President McKinley has plainly intimated, we have no time to lose in the matter of taking advantage of existing op- portunitle: From the Brooklyn ‘Tines (rep.). The British government is not likely to play the part of the dog in the manger by placing any obstacles to the construction of a canal under American control. Great Britain would profit scarcely less than the United States In time of peace by the con- struction of such a canal, and when the al- ternative is presented of its construction under the contro) of the United States or its non-construction, British Interests have so much to gain by the accept- ance of the former alternative and so much to lose by the latter that there can be no doubt of her willingness to waive any right j she may have in the, premises under the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. From the New London Morning Telegraph. To be sure, there is a great deal to be done by this short session of Congress, but there are not much more important ‘matters before it than the passage of the Nicara- gua canal bill. That fs nearly as necessary as an increase of the army. But, consider- ing the press of businéss that is on the cal- endar, and that of so extraordinary a na- ture as to well give guxiety to the men sup- posed to be intent onChandling it, it is not to be expected that much will be done this time beyond the attention that must be given to the matters requiring immediate legislation. Kansas City Star (ind.). It is to be hoped that Congress will heed the warning given by the President in his message “that the construction of a mari- time highway is now, more than ever, indis- pensable to that intimate and ready inter- communication between our eastern and western seaboards demanded by the annex- ation of the Hawaiian Islands and the pros- pective expansion of our influence and com- merce in the Pacific.” The President is speaking of the Nicaragua canal, the obvi- ous method of communication between the Atlantic and Pacifie oceans. The canal should have been built long ago, being a work of great importance to the commerce From the of the world and of vital benefit to the United States. The President calls atten- tion to the fact that the concern of the United Siates in this enterprise is now greater than ever. Congress should make an end of the delays which have been un- wisely continued for a quarter of a century and make the Nicaragua canal a certainty. rom the San Francisco Chronicle (ind.). Of course, the railroads have no hope or expectation of getting the government, after’ the latter has caused a scientific ex- amination of the Panama route to be made, into any scheme of aid or purchase. If the anal were practicable they would oppose it strongly as they are opposing the Nica- It is not the waterway they of a ragua project. want, bu! the appointment a_govern- ment commission to report upon its prac- ticability, thereby sidetracking the Nicara- gua project until the concession of the Mar- itime Canal Company expires, leaving their (Cragin) concession in force. fi they would have no more trouble in de- i§ for a long period of years any tempt to revive the Nicaragua project. {From the Richmond Dispateh (dem.).

The President v properly commend: the project to Congress on the gr 1, mainiy, that it will bring our eastern and western seaboards some thousands of miles nearer each other, so that never again, if the canal is built, will the nation feel in crisis of war like that of last summer, that without tically a double navy—one for the Atlantic and one for the Pacific—we are not fully From the Detroit J protected. With the canal cut the ion of a few months ago, when the whole people had the Oregon anxious in mind for several weeks, cannot be r peated, and the navy of the Pacifie will be easily and, comparatively, quickly avai ble for service on the AUantic, and the re- ver From the Chicago Tribune (rep.) What can this country gain by monopoliz ing the Nicaragua eanal, which is to run through a foreign country, which will cost much money, and ;will be hard to defend in case of war? Would it not be wiser to let the Clayton-Bulwer treaty stand for half a century longer and Jet the United Stytes and Great Britain, see to the building: of the canal and exercise Joint control? Then in the future the United States can sell out its interest or buy out that of Great Britain ar cease to concern itself about the car if it finds that the work is of no use to this country.

The sensible course to pursue fs to let the yion-Bulwer treaty: = and and induce angli ital to, supply some of the vas ums necessary to build the waterway.

If the two overnments should not care to build the work directly uarantee the bonds of a y could jointly private corporation. From the Richmond Tim The proverb “in time of peace, pre- pare for war,” and no part of our prepara- tion can be so obvious as the construction of this canal. It must be built and we consider the time for discussing whether it ought or ought not to be built as ended, The upshot of the matter fs, that the Nicaragua canal must be built, but. that Great Britain’s rights in the matter must be respected. We must, of course, contro! the canal, but that control can easily bt ecured by negotiations set on foot with England in the prover spirit and with the sincere Intention of recognizing her rights frankly and making proper compensation for whatever she Is asked to surrender. 8 (dem.). Prem the New York Jeurnal of Commerce (ind.) The Pritish government does not hold hat the Clayton-Bulwer treaty has become void, and while it does not deny our right to abrogate it, it objects to its abrogation. 'f the maritime wor'd wi'l not allow us to fortify the canal we should gain nothing the abrogation. On the other hand, we ed the friendly feeling and co-operation of Great Britain. Both in the east and in he west we have touched continental irope on the quick. We have few friends here, and we should have fewer if we at- empted to make a private road of an isth- mian canal. It would be extremely bad policy for us to offend Great Britain, and it would be entirely idle to do so unless we are ful.y nared to assert our will regarding the Nicaragua canal in the face of all the rest of the world. Great Britain did not venture on that in the case of the Suez anal, and Americans have got to give “The night my house burned, sex sral years ago, I was taken with short- ness of breath and pal- pitation of ¢he heart,”” writes Mrs. Susan C. ‘Tullolof Sulphur Mines, Lonisa Co., Va. “These grew worse all the time. until a few months ago, when I commenced the use of Dr. Pierce's medi- cines.
