The NEW YORK Rorld takes the
New York Sun to task for saying the
democrats party was guilty OF a
mistake when it refused to renomi.
nate the ticket OF lS76-Tilden and
Hendricks. The Sun never published
truer words than those contained in
its editorial which was reproduced in
our Geographic columns on Tuesday,
and which has given ofiense to the
WOrId. When the Cincinnati conven-
ton allowed John Kelly and his band
Of bruisers TO bulldoze it into a re-
fusal to do justice to two OF the
greatest statesmen that America has
produced, it was guilty of blunder
that amounts to crime. The wrong
was not alone upon Samuel J. Tilden
and Thomas A. Hendricks, but upon
the democratic voters everywhere.
No ticket that could have been
framed would have been as strong
as the old one, and in making
8 change the best point that
the party had was lost. We do
not cry over split milk. but
can never be made to see that the
nomination of Hancock and English
was not an unKise selection. 1t will
make no difference should they be
elected, of which there are very grave
doubts; Tildqn and Hendricks. and |
the democracy we're de.rsuded sll the
same. kDefeat would almost serve the
party right for having listened to the
iictalion OF the TammaBy chef, who
Is more interested in the spoils Of
New York City Offices than in the

THE ILLINOIS SHIP CANAL

Mr.. Daniel c. Jenne, Chief Engi-
neer of the Illinois and Michigan
Canal, contributes to the Chicago
Inter Ocean the following account of
the proposed through water route from
the great lakes, at Chicago, to the Mis-
sissippi river:
The first division of the project con-
sists in the enlargement of the Illinois
and Michigan Canal from Chicago to
Joliet The present canal was built
48 feet wide on the bottom, with side
slopes l to in earth, making 60 feet
surface width at 6 feet deep, or below
the low water of Lake Michigan,
with descent on the bottom of one
tenth foot per mile across the Summit
level toward Joliet. 1t is proposed
to make the enlarged canal IA feet
wide on the bottom, side slopes l to l
protected by slope wall in earth, and
lGO feet wide at surface at 8 feet deep,
or below low water of Lake Michigan,
with descent of two-tenths foot per
mile This will pass 1l2,321 cubic
feet of water per minute, and give a
current of LOG miles per hour. The
average state of water in Lake Michi-
gan for the last years has been about 2
feet higher, which would make the
water 10 feet deep, and would pass
1888 cubic feet per minute, with a
current of l19 miles per ho1r.
The canal enters the Desplaines
river about one mile and a half north
of the main street at Joliet, or nearly
opposite the State Penitentiary, and
will be about 83 miles long. The
work of enlargement consists of about
$4,000 900 cubic yards of excavation,
including the removal of spoil banks
| made from the excavation of the pres
ent canal, of which there will be about
4, 200, 900 cubic yards of solid magnes-
ian limestone to be excavated. Three
lift-locks will be required at the south
ern end, one grand lock at Bridgeport
or north end, six public road and street
drawbridges, and one double railroad
drawbridge, and a large water weir at
Lockport. The locks are to be $50
feet long between the gates and IS
feet wide, to correspond with those
now built on the Illinois river.
The second division extends from
one and one-half miles above Joliet to
La Sale, about 67 miles, and will con-
sist of the improvement of the Des-
PLANES and Illinois rivers by. locks and
dams, and an independent short piece
of canal around the rapids at Marseil-
les. 1t will require the construction
of eleven locks, nine dams, the raising
