Some Of the points handled in the

timely interest. That passage which in
forme the country for tue 6rst tins Of the

is ~ follows:

United s!es, whose rich territory on
the Pacific is for the ordinary purpose of
commerce particularly cut off from com
muDioatiCn by water with the Atlantic
ports, the political and commercial Ad
vantsges Of such projsOt can scarcely be
overestimated. 1t Is believed that when
the treaty is laid before yen the Justice
and libeyality Of its provisions will COM
mand universal approval at home and
abroad. -
This looks to one Of the great imme.
diate steps to be taken in the develop.
ment Of channels OF commercial commu.
nicstion, and will necessarily require
Congress to commit the country to a
definite policy. II the treaty which
thus acquires from a foreign govern
ment certain privileges also involves
an obligation on the part of this govern
ment to build the canal and railroad, it's
ratification will be of international i'm.
portanoe and fact Of great mou emit TO
all commercial countries. We have
always believed that IL would
be 4 cowRrdly weakness on the
part Of the United States for IL
to permit an Isthmian canal to be CON.
trolled by any European government, and
we have further held that in order that
the right Of the United States might be
clear it should itself build the canal. The
determination Of the national policy ia
now to be clearly put before Congress,
Which, We trust, will be equal to the
occasion.

Seven columns OF the Philadelphia
Ledger were taken up yesterday with a
review of the business aud financial ont
look in that city, including interviews
with many leading manufacturers. The
general conclusion reached by the Ledger
is that the depression in business, so far
as Philadelphia is concerned, ia not so
great as general report would make it
appear, and that the manufacturers Of
that city are generally of the opinion
that the outlook for favorable change
in the near future 10 brighter than was
anticipated. Coming, as these conclu-
siOns DO, from am independent ard un-
biased sourse, they are particularly vslu-
able.
