IN the canal, or the manner in which the
work progresses. They have. kep, the,

the recipients Of large salaries, and who
have exhibited no interest in the compile

State Trustee drove them from their state

The lbondholders, who appoint the tor

correct these abuses. Keeping such a

the canal, is poor policy. The manner
