some OF the bow-window bulls have forgotten their

did not do likewise instead Of retaining it's lrmness
under such depressing circumstances. There Is a
popular solution, OF course TO the enigma, which OBJ
tans wide belief and directs itself 10 the prodigious
absorbing powers OF the San Francisco magnatc who

WE are pleased to learn from Mr.. S. T. Alex
ander, that the work of digging the ditch for
the purpose of irrigating the lands of the Ha-
il1u and adjacent plantations, is already two
thirds done. Nearly two hundred men have
been steadily at work on it for the last few
months, and it is expected that by the first of
May next the water will be flowing through it.
There could not be more striking exhibition
of the value of enterprise than is presented by
the fact that this ditch, which will not cost
above $4,000, will, it is estimated, cause a
difference in the crop of the Haiku plantation
now growing, of four hundred tons of sugar,
which is more than sufficient TO cancel the en-
tire cost of the ditch.
We have been in the past too slow, too timid,
too conservative. We have been to much afraid
of risking small amount for the sake of gaining
a large one. We know that enterprise pays III
other lands, but we have heretofore virtually
protested to doubt its paying here. 1t is time
that this fallacy were overthrown. We hope
TO see the example set by the projectors of the
East Maui irrigating canal, prove contagious,
and incite to many new undertaking, which
shall enrich individuals, and tend to the pros
perity of the whole country.

A CosunLcnI Mnrl..

By the last mail comes the important in
telligence that the Board of Army Engineers
to which was submitted the task of ascertain
ing the most feasible route for ship canal
across the Isthmus of Darien, has made a
full and satisfactory report. 1t favors the
Nicaragua route, and estimates the cost of the
canal at about slOO, 100000, which, consider
ing the immense Importance Of the undertake
ing, and its undoubted benefits to the COM
merce of the world, is a mere bagatelle. 1t is
thought further that the work viii occupy
about ten years
The United States government has already
suggested to others of the great Powers the
prOpriety of making this an international
work, and the idea appears to meet with their
