The New YORK Senate has ordered the
proposed constitutional amendment ior

third reading. The Albany Ersaug Jour
nal opposes .he chang, and points the moral

mont. rhe Journal says
The recent expression oi a leading and
observing citiz-n ol Vermont indicates how
it works there When the Legislature met
every year. he sand, a large proportion OF
the old members were reelected and both
Houses contained much experience. But
now that it meets only once in two years, 1t
is almost entirely made up Of new men. The
old members lose their hold on their dis
tricts aSpirants are i1s> content TO wait
when the next chencc does not come Tor two
years and the less frequent elections make
more frequent and complete changes in the
membership. A. result, each legislature,
composed almost exclusively OF new men
without experience, undertakes l great deal
ot crude, experimental and dOubtlul lcgl>lI

chance Tor two years Stimulates new
schemes, AID the consideration that II they

would be still more doubtful in great STATE

rule in this State. That rule need not be an
inevitable accompaniment of the biennial
arrangement but practically it amounts to
that. There can be no question but that

The project for ship canal across the
ISthmus Of DIrisn, 50 lIng talked Of, has just
come up in FAR more definite and practical
shape than ever bciirc. An International
Congress called together BY Ferdinand de
Lesseps, the successful buil!er Of the SIez
canal. Is now holding sessions at Paris for
the discussion OF the matter ami the ad1p-
tiCn Of fcasible plan ; and there IS at least
4 possibility that their deliberations may
finally result N the taking hold Of this great
enterprise in good earnest. Commander
Thomas o. Seliridge, Who commanded the
United States DIrien surveying expedition,
and made elaborate anl careful Surveys, ap-
pearcd before the Congress with plans for
two rcutes-the first giving 4 canal about
one hundred and eish:y miles long, the mum
Der of miles 10 be excGvated about thirty,
having twenty-five locks and tunnel Of
nearly four miles in length. The advantages
of the route are the small amount 81 digging;
the objections to it are the number of locks,
the tunnel and the Inadequate depth of
water at the Pacific outlet. The second
plan involves the construction Of cana.
without locks. simply with open cuts
and tunr e,>, water being supplied by
the River Atrato, from which the
canal wouli start to reach tn
Pacific, twenty ninc miles distant This
plan would gave two ,oiLogciures to the
A.ratO-onc on the Pacrhc and the other
on the Atlantic. Ihe average cuttings on
this line would lot he over seventy feet and
the tunnel five miles in length, the rrohs-
bic cost Of which would 10 IS 100000.
The cost, Whichever plan was adopted, Is
