financial failure. and naturally frenchmen

Congress has not decided the matter upon is
merits. but in the interests Of . special scneme,

being Deputies in the Assembly, or Delegates
from Chambers OF Commerce in the great cities
Of France. They are doubtless patriotic citi-
gems. shareholders in the Suez Company, are
exceptionabls Is promoters of any enterprise

rooms Of Paris are now perfect nests OF stock
iobbing intrigue on behalf Of one Of the pro
jects which. Though it may not result In

pected TO yield diamonds for . good many
women, and snug Offices for . good many men.
The idea makes . very strong appeal 70 pafriotlc
sentiment. There is . general feeling that II can
be done. and that France might do It. The
w hAaa taC ~ -
American commercial interests, in fact the pro-
posed water route through the Isthmus, must
operate in its relations to the Of the
Pacific, quite as effectively as the Erie canal has
operated ON . smaller scale to restrain what
would otherwise be all but absolute powers Of
colossal railroad corporations.
