One OF the most important measures O.
national Legislation over which the mex
congress win have to mediate, and which
was temporarily defeated by the senate q
few days ago. is the scheme to construct q
canal from ocean to ocean. through Mica
rauxua- When the American govern
lnent began to move in this plan. st wa.
evident that England. also. on learning
the extent and character Of the enterprise,
would want to have a hand in the work
and . leading share in It's benefits. The
same spirit Of commercial aggrandizement
and colonial acquisition. that has led %
the taking Of al sorts Of outlying coun-
fnes and islands all over the globe. from
the Cape Of Good Hope L New Guinea
and old Egypt. could not DO expected to
rest quietly and see the United States
construct a ship canal that would open a
short and new route from the South At
iantic States to that part Of our country
which borders the Pacific. without at
least making an effort to have. as the saying
goes. "a finger in the pie" Accordingly
VIC have read the interesting news that
Mr.. West. the British minister at Wash
inRton, has been authorized TO offer to
this country a plan for the abrogation Of
the Clayton-B uiwer treaty, and the build
ing of Nicaraguan canal under the
JOINT protection Of England and the
United States" 1t is said the terms Of
the proposition are that the canal shall
DO built by . company. and that its bonds,
AZ three per cent shall be guaranteed by
both governments. This interesting plan
Is actually proposed, and there is no
doubt of Mr.. Vests authority to offer
i, whether IL has yet been made to tho
state department or not
IL might be a costly job not only to
build the canal ourselves. and maintain il
in good working condition. but to eff
fectually guard its exits and entrances in
case Of war. However, if the canal is
worth building, it is worth building by the
United States, the country which origi-
mated and is chiefly concerned in such a
scheme. The English offer has, Of course,
its advantages, the chief Of which, to this
country, would be felt in the diminished
expense to each, If both governments
shared in the work. On the other hand,
il England were admitted TO the enter
prise, it is not difficult to see how ineyi-
tally it would tend to become practically,
though not in name, a British waterway;
and moreover, all the traditions Of u
country, as well as the Monroe doctrine"
are squarely against any such concession
Nevertheless it is not impossible that
not only in this matter. but in a still
more comprehensive sense, some kind Of
an alliance between this country and
Great Britain may yet be actually made
Such a thing-agninst which all our ira
ditions. as well as Washington warning,
and all our history itself speak out with
emphasis-while. as we say. it may not
b impossible, is clearly neither very near
nor very probable. II viii be well, mean
time. for congress to consider well the
other side Of the question. before lending
= too wiling assent to this novel but we'll
sounding proposition.

Tom Peppers Tribute to Artemus ward.
Virginia uSev) Enterprisel
Tom Pepper, who Is kr Owl as the peer

Il AMI am-that is my name is gasped
Tommy name Is. Well, Just wait a mo-
msnt tin l think and Tom ran out Of the
room and closed the door behind him, leav-
ing Artemus standing in tho middle of the

Hingston-Ward's agent-was out at the
moment Thinking he had an insane man
to deal with. Artemus smiled the most cheer
full smile then at his command. He declared
he had often heard Of Mr.. Pepper, and was
delighted TO meet him At the moment he
was about to change his socks; would Mr..
Pepper be kind enough to withdraw and call
around again in half an hour. Mr.. Pepper
would and did.
When Mr.. Kingston came in Artemus had
a fearful story to toll about his adventure
with a crazy man. Afterward, when Ward
came TO know that a sense OF his greatness
as a hunorist had 50 overcome poor Tom as
TO canss him to forget his name, tho genial
lecturer declared It was the greatest compli-
ment that had ever been paid him.
