Importance" the greater part of the
Mediterranean line lies close to the
chief arsenals of the most powerful
naval States of the Continent. Its
has, in fact, the homes of three
great navies on its flank ; and it is
nearer to them in its most frequent
ed, and consequently most vulnera-
BILE, section than it is to its own
principal base. The opening Of any
pathway which-without materially
adding TO The distance to he travefs-
ed-shall relieve the crowded high
wayltothe East which is now usual
ly followed, must result in modifying
the strategic conditions onAwhich
any scheme of protecting. our ocean
commerce is founded. 4sj .t.8
The proposed canal across the
Isthmus OF Panama, assuming that
it is sure. to be made, offers a, con-
Venlent route to much of the traffic
which now takes a southeastern di-
rection from this country. To some
important areas of trade the distan-
ces will not be seriously augmented,
to- others they will be considerably
reduced. The line is throughout,
on both sides of the American CONT
nent essentially on ocean line. The
part of it which traverscs the CARR
bean Sea is the only section which
has anything of a Mediterranean
character. On one side of that
division, and nearest it, the only for
eign States are the altogether UNI
maritime republics ofnorthern South
America. On the other side, it is
true, the coast of the United States
lies, and that country may become,
what it has been before, an impor-
tant naval Power. But the nearest
point of the American coast to the
route most likely to be chosen by
the steam fleets of commerce is near
" q thousand miles distant and
Jamaica and Antigua are. not only
close TO il, but they could with ease
and in no great time be made to af-
ford it efficient protection. When
the waters of the Pacific are entered,
the strategic possibilities of the new
path are not less encouraging.
North of the Equator we are at
least as we'll off as any one else.
In the South Pacific Fiji ia the
hands OF the greatest Of naval States
perhaps completely neutraIises the
possession by a European Power OF
Tahiti or even the Matquesas. The
key OF whole Pacific position, should
Mr.. Lessep's new canal be complet-
ed, is without doubt the Galapagos
group. AS a eoaling station or as u
defensive base these islands have
certainly a most important future
before them. Possessed by al strong
naval Power they would ~undoubted-
" bestow q predominant influence
over the new highway, on their ow-
ner. Even in the, hands of their
present proprietor, ? Ecuador, they
will probably soon acquire a COM
mercial status not inferior to that Of
Malta. The piercing of the Isthmus

itself to an honorable settlement of
the debt as strong as words could
make it. The party platform adopt
ed at the State convention was
pointed and unequivocal. No man
who accepted nomination for Office
upon that platform can oppose a
settlement without stultifying him
self and proclaiming to the world
his insincerity. 10 every speech he
made upon the stump, Governor
Hawkins took decided grounds in
favor of a settlement. Every man
who voted for him endorsed his
views as thus publicly expressed.
The platform upon which General
Wright was nominated for governor
committed his supporters to settle
ment of the debt, and in voting for
him they said they were in favor of
an honorable settlement. A major
ity of the members of the legisla-
ture were elected with q distinct
understanding that they would vote
for settlement, and if they should
go home without an earnest and
honest endeavor to bring it about,
they will be disgraced before their
constituents and before the honest
people of the country.
The time has been when dema-
gogues could 60 before the people
and arouse their prejudices against
a recognition of the States
obligations. We believe that time
has past. With return to pros
perity the people began to reason
soberly on this question, and they
will be no longer deceived as to
their best interests. They demand
that this question shall be removed
from politics, and that it shall be
settled promptly, permanently,
honestly, and forever.

THE STATE DEBT.

At last We have a definite propo-
sition from the bondholders in refer
ence to the State debt. 1t is one
that appears to us fair and liberal,
and in our opinion should be &C
copied without delay. 1t leaves the
principal to be settled by posterity
and reduces the interest so that its
payment will not prove an intolera-
bic burden. By issuing long bonds,
the date of payment is postponed to
a time when in all probability the
principal will be easily met. Be-
sides, according to the terms of the
compromise, as we understand it
from our Nashville specials, If it is
desired to do so, arrangements may
be made after five years for grad
ual reduction of the principal, SO, if
the State should prosper and wealth
increase, the whole debt may be
wiped out in a quarter Of century,
and the State left free from indebt~
edness and without the semblance o.
dishonor.
We trust that the members of the
legislature will take hold of this
question promptly and like men
Unless there is something in THU
proposition which We do not yet see
there should be no hesitation abou
accepting it. In the late canvass
the Republican party committed

One J. J. Kinds, has made serious
charges against Second Assistant
Postmaster General Brady in con-

IF true, Mr.. Brady should be re-
moved from his position at once.
While we know nothing as to the
truth of these charges we do know
that Kinds has an unsavory reputa-

proof. 1t would be unjust to con-
denim Mr.. Brady upon the ex parte

THE haste made by the Demo

that body shows that they have no
confidence in their ability to control
the organization after the vacancies
are all filled. They have probably
lost hope of securing Mahone's vote,
and they propose to make hay while
the sun shines. Judge Davis de-
fined his position yesterday by
favoring immediate organization
and proposing Senator Garland as
chairman of the judiciary commit
mittee. Having given up all hope
