illustfate more IN detail, Tue saving OF dis'
tancs on steam vessels between New
Orleans and New York will be 800 miles,
and between New Orleans ana
Liverpool II will BIO 400 miles
Ia o4her words, n steamship. sailing eleven
miles per hour would gain about lorty-hVe
hours In the passage from New fork 10
New Orleans, and the same ON the return
trip less time oi sieaming through the
canal, at six miles per hour, or about thirty
seven hours each way; taking the present
average of the round trip at twenty-one
days, including four days IN each port, the
canal would reduce the time OF the round
trip TO eighteen days, enabling her to make
profits on at least three more round voy-
ages per year, at no increase OF expense.
One can appreciate the gain in avoiding
the dangerous passage through the Florida
straits by considering some data: The
official statistics OF five recent years show
that 1926 salvage cases were adjudicated in
the United States district court Tor the
southern district of Florida, to the value oil
more than $l1 100000, and careful esti'
mates show the present loss from wreckage
to be about So 600 600 per year.
Surely, with such facts before us, we can
but wish speedy contamination
OF such glorious promise.
Just as soon as the locating survey
shall have been completed and the right OF
] way secured, certain prominent capitalists

pany, will submit a proposition to the
board of directors, which meets in about
two weeks, to advance all the funds neces-
sary and start the work forthwith. With
this enterprise under way new era Will
dawn upon the gulf ports, and this means
prosperity to the interior, and the European
trade will flow to and fro far beyond what
we perhaps now dream of. Such expendi'
ture means vast deal of confidence in the
south as to the immense amount OF wealth
that lies upon our hills and plains and in the
valleys. 1t means firm conviction of on
import requirements and our export capuc!-
ties. 1t means enormous immigration and
accessions to our general wealth.

BE GENEROUS TO THE vAN0UIsHED

Now that the great strike is over, and the
Western Union has won the victory, that
great corporation can afford to be generous
to the yanouished 1t should be remembered
that nearly 10000 operators were out OF po-
sition, through their own indiscretion, it is
true. This means that a large army OF not
only unemployed, but disc fected people are
upon, the community, with--a disposition
that may be productive Of
harm. These persons have
also the sympathy of another vast army Of
laborers, and only waiting to develop into
active hostility when some favorable OF
portunity may perchance present. We ought
to remember that when the south was de-
feated in the civil strife that reconstruction
was promoted by spirit of Cancellation. A
denial of these people of kindly treatment,
socially and politically, would have made
the work of restoration far more expensive
and protracted, and perhaps impossible.
We ought to remember, too, that France

human nature, and it would seem that the
better policy for the Western Union to now
pursue would be that of leniency and liber-
atty. The strikers have laid down their
arms. .--capitulated without consideration
and sue for peace. There is no contest
now, nor are there any outrages that the
great company have recorded against
their former employees during the
fight. Under these circumstances
would power or dignity be unbending too
far to give little bread and meat occupa'
ton to once-efficient servants, however i'm
prudent and erring these may have been in
their mistaken steps? Is their friendship
not better than their enmity, their services
not preferable to the absence OF them
We disapproved and reprobated the unwise
course of the strikers, while we applauded
the true, resolute and courageous course OF
the Western Union and we felt only too
positive as to the final result, but as we OBJ
served above, the warfare is over, let pleas
antness of feeling now take the place OF
anythingthing like disatiection. 1t will
certainly pay in the long run.
