The Suez Cnnnl-Its Relations to Commerce.
Politics and Religion.
In another place in this days HERALD we
give map illustrative of the new as COM
pared with the old connections between the
East and the West. Our readers will COM
prehend what the Suez Canal means. They
will see what the old route was how slow and
how expensive. We also reproduce details
which, months ago, we gave to the public.
Taken in connection with the news of to-day
the reader cannot fail to comprehend, if he
wisely uses our assistance, what this new
thing called the Suez Canal means. 1t means
much, great deal more, in fact than the
thinking or would-be thinking public believes.
1t is the great world fact of this hour. It is
very likely to remain the great world fact for
years, and, perhaps, many years to come.
One thing it is well to state-the canal, in spite
of all bad prophets, is complete success. 1t
has been traversed from end to end by the
Empress of France, in the imperial yacht
PAigle, and at Suez, where she arrived yes
terday, festivities are in progress which will
teach the modern world that there Is yet in
the East living sentiment Of which the West
ern world is ignorant or which it too much
despises.
In every case facts are facts, and the facts
of the hour are fully convincing that French
pluck and French engineering have accom-
plished work which English pluck would not
face and which English engineering skill pro-
nounced impossible. The canal being now to
all intents and purposes opened, 1t is safe and
proper to look at it in the light of commerce,
politics and religion. Commercially no one
who knows history and who has an open eye
to facts will refuse to admit that this canal
inaugurates new era of commerce. It is
much to say that it will revive the past, will
restore Egypt, and give the Mediterranean
something of its ancient Importance. This
we say is much; but it is not enough. 1t
does not fully state the case. Overland routes
are old fashioned things, as old as Tyre, Pal
myra and Balbec, and older, although they
