The awakened business instincts of the South are | | evinced in many ways.

Among these political developments are the revolt | papers and leaders, and the increasing interest taken in the construction of the Nicaragua canal. It is i deed to the canal far-sighted Southerners look for a | general improvement of -all the conditions of that sec- tion. They believe the canal will change the commer- cial conditions of the South and- give. it for the first time an open way for expansion. In a recent article on the subject the Louisville | Courier Journal said: “The Guli of Mexico is now a dead eddy, is a semi-tropic inland sea, with an imptriéct outlet.

The Gulf of Mexico will be an open sea, and through it the ports of the South will have direct communication with the Pacific Ocean and all the rich countries that lie along it. So eager are the Southerners now for the construction of the water- way some of them desire to set Bryan aside and the free-silver plank with him, and to substitute in place of them a champion of the' canal with a platform declaring its construction shall be undertaken at once and prosecuted with all the energies of the republic.
