Lesseps makes that Investigation
which ought to have preceded. in
stead of following, the beginning 0
the enterprise. Lesseps undertook
to sweep all other routes out of tn

careful surveys and conclusions O
the best informed experts; to bull

nation, and to organize
predestined failure, to the em
barrassment and postponement o
all other plans. Present indica

the whole scheme, and 1t is bette
that the failure should be accepte

discouragement OF those who ha
