Mans spirit is mightier than all else, for
it is of God. Thought is more powerful
than horsemen or chariots; its victories
mightier than those won by the tramp of
armed hosts, the booming of cannon, or
shedding Of blood.
The biblical record opens v it'll the ex-
pressed statement: IN the beginning God
created man; male and female created He
them, and gave them dominion over the
earth-to rule over it, subdue it, increase
and multiply, and replensh The earth. "
In the fifth chapter the genealogies Of the
Adamic race are gwen. "In the beginning
God created man; male and female created
He them. aud called their name Adam. y
The Bible is an earlier book, written under
earlier Inspirations. Moses and Christ
earlier men, the latter saying he never
spoke, save in parallels.
Between the first and the fifth chapter
comes the story of the Adamie fall from a
state of innocence of one man and one wo-
man, evidently giving the spiritual mean
ing of the fall of the human race.
For over a history embracing two thou
sand years in it's time. in the Bible no ref
erenee is made TO this story of the Garden
and its consequences. and since the com
ing of Christ for two thousand years we
have preached Christ and practised Moses
in all oar dealing with commissioning
bpr To nd 1atti l.a frae
Reviewing this story Of the fall, Christ
declares he e,me to restore all things, to
verify the Scriptures. and he demanded
the same recognition Of sin in man as in
woman, the same moral Law, preached the
first sermon for her rights and her equality
before the law
If this be taken away as NOM criptural,
We are left the words, "Whosoever look
eth on woman to lust after her in his
heart, bath committed adultery with her
already"
Paul and Christ's apostles all echoed
this sentiment OF Christ, demanding
Confluence, chastity, and spiritual truth
and life
In the masculine Interpretation Of the
Bible woman has been largely ignored, or
every line has been used to bar her way,
and in this Edenic story she las been used
to bar the path TO human progress.
The hour has come, if in this chapter
lies her curse, ont Of it also comes her
blessing, and her reward She must how
realize that in her giving tmih ON these
lines alone can the race be redeemed, and
Christ's rule Of love begin on earth, and
his coming be made a verify
Only realize what what we have been
under those conditions of false modesty,
and ignorance of the divine law of life,
aud all its possibilities
Tho Garden Of Eden can only be repre-
scented showing The face Of the race under
the dominion of Inst, using the vital func-
lions of life as means of dragging down
all spirituality. - Ehsabeth /. .Sa10a.

Nicaragua from it, gaoLraphical

fords the only feasible route for trans

long been the choice Of eminent
men. Lord Nelson, reaIiz;ng the stra-

his bril- iaut cprerr bY SEEING the
mouth of the Rio San Jurn, in hopes
of obtaining control Of the river and
lake. Ltter, in 1916, an effort was
made to libarate Prince Louis Ma
poleon Bonaparte, afterward Emperor,
in order that he might accept d con
ceSSion to construct "A canal by this
route. 1t may be interesting to recall
the words OF this Distinguished ex.
plorer. He writeS:-
"The geographical position of Con
Stnntin"rIe is such as rendered her
the queen Of the ancient world. DC
cupying as she does the central point
between Europe, Asia and Africa,
she would become the enrrep6t Of the
commerce of all these countries and
obtain over Them an immense prepon-
derance; for in politics, rs in strategy,
a central position always commands
the circumference. There exists in
the New World a State as admirably
situated as EonstantinopIe. We al
lude to the State of Nicaragua. As
C~onstantinople is the centre of the
ancient world. so is the town of Leon
the centre of the new, and if the
tongue of land which separates its
two lakes from the Pacific Ocean
were cut through she would command
by virtue of her central position the
entire coast Of North and South
America.

plies up the San Juan and its tributa-
rIes, though it handicapped the work
to some extent. Assistant Engineer
Peary, however, in the face OF appar-
emily insurmountable obstacles, push
ed forward the survey with unremit-
ting zeal, and, upon the arrival OF
Chief Engineer MenocaI in April, had
completed the location Of the upper
route in the eastern S%rcticn and des-
patched three parties to the Pacific
slope,
Every inch of ground along the
line was measured with chain and
sladia and The angles read bY careful
observers. Transirs and levels were
run, and cross sections, varying from
eight hundred to two thousand feet,
taken according to the character or
the country to be developed. Behring'S,
extending below the depth OF the
proposed canal, were made through
out the entire length, and where rock
was found specimens were cut by
means of the diamond drill. All
natural features, as well as the
animal and vegetable lite, were care
fully studied, so that the records of
this expedition, when compiled, will
form a Volume as interesting as it will
be instructive.
The main work lay in a detailed
examination of the location by Com
modore Lull III 1872 and that by
Civil Engineer Mcnocal in 1885,
known as the lower and upper routes
respectively. Both are feasible and
Identical in the western division, but
diver9e in the eastern and present
entirely different methods of attack.
In the - line it was The idea Of Com
modore Lull to cXcavate from Ochoa
parallel with the Rio San Juan to n
point where it meets the San
%JuanilIo, thence a straight cut to-
Greytown, while thai of'85 shorten
ed The distance and reduced the
excavation by flooding the valley Of
the San Francisco. In the recent
examinations the engineers made
slight notifications in both routes.
Excessive curves in the lower were
avoided by straight cuts from point
TO point along the river, the number
of locks reduced in the upper and
the excavation shortened by utilizing
the basin of the Rio DeseadO.
The estimated cost of both these
routes is approximately the same, for
the greater length Of the lower is
counterbalanced by the solid rock
cut in The upper. In any event Lake
Nicaragua will be taken as the sum
NIT level, from which a volume of
water sufficient to float all the navies
i'll the world can be obtained.
1t is almost assured that the upper
location will be the one selected by
the Board of Engineers. It certainly
offers less difficulties to the present
methods Of attack, has the advantage
Of more natural water transit and is
shorter by six miles. 1t extends from
the roadstead of BrilO, on the Pacific.

The State of Nicaragua can become,
better than Constantinople, the neces-
sary route of the great commerce of
the world, and is destined to attain an
extraordinary degree of prosperity
and grandeur"
Notwithstanding the many surveys
that have been made throughout the
length and breadth of the ISthmus,
only three have ever assumed any
tangible form. These are
l. A sea level canal al Panama.
2. A ship railway at I~ehuantepec.
3. A lock canal at Nicaragua.
The complete failure of the propos-
ed sea level canal at Panama. and the
admission by NJ de Lesseps that he
must now employ locks, while the
problem Of the ChagresRiver and the
CuIebra cut still remain unsolved,
have sealed forever the fate of this
gigantic fiaSco.
The late Captain Eads, father of
the ~Tchunnrepcc scheme, still has
many enthusiastic followers, who te-
naciousIy cling to This "igniS %fatuus,"
which mas never met the approval of
nautical experts. The best authOri-
ties claim HAT the transportation of
heavily laden vessels would be dan
geIouS in The extreme. Ships are
built to resist entirely different
strains from those to which they
would be subjected in this tran~isth-
MAN ride. In fact, The name and
reputation of this eminent engineer is
all that gives a Semblance of life TO
the project
Let US now consider the proposed
lock canal at Nicaragua.
Good terminal harbours are neces-
sary adjuncts to amy project, for yes
sells N route must have spacious road
s'eads, atfording them protection
while awaiting transit. As a rule all
isthmian routes possessing the best
termiui have the worst internal fea-
lures, but The rtvcrSe seems to be The
case with Nicaragua. The most
eminent engineers in the world
have studied and approved the plans
proposed for the restoration of Grey
town and Brio harbour>.
The advantages claimed for a canal
at this point are
/. That it is in a favorable geo
graphical position, being in the region
of perpetual trade winds, which posi-.
ton is also e%minenrly favorable t 0 the
United States.
:. That a canal can be construct
ed here at "A less cost than by any
other proposed route.
3. That it passes through II coun-
try rich in resouicesand already sufic-
ientIy developed and populated to
subsIst the construction force.
4. That it presents no novel en-
gineering problems nor any that can
not be solved at a moderate expense.
5. That it il a FRESH water canal,
and will perform an important func-
ton in securing ships bottoms and
boilers.
6. That it offers splendid facilities

That saccharIne Syndicate.

IN. Y. Herald, February 10th.l
SAN Francisco, Cal, Feb. 9, 1885,
Information from New York about the
Sugar Trust is eagerly received by re-
fners here. The belief is current that
the American Company, or the principal
stockholders in Honolulu, have been ar
ranging a deal with the officers of the
Trust looking to the admission of that
concern to full membership in the big
combination.
When Claus Spreckels was in New
York he declined to join the Trust. 1t
has been known that negotiations have
been in progress between Messrs. Jones,
of Honolulu, and Hayemeyer, of New
York, regarding the prospects of getting
into the Trust. Mr.. Jones and many
American Refinery.
On the other hand, the statement that
the Secretary of the Trust has been fin
San Francisco meets with some ridicule.
It was said about four days ago that he
had left New York to consult with Claus
Spreckels, and then the report was that
he intended to see Mr.. Welch of the
American Refinery.
Claus Spreckels says the Secretary
was not in the city, for he should have
known it if that parsonage had show his
face in the State.

American Company becomes public and
the Trust lends its assistance in the local
war it is understood that Claus Spreck-
els will buy or build a refinery in New
York and give the combination fight
in it's own territory. Local jobbers
think an agreement may be entered into
between the Havemeyers and Spreckels,
but this is not deemed likely, as 1t has
been the policy of Spreckels to avoid
combinations.
Claus Spreckels said this morning that
the talk about the Trust taking a hand
seems ill-founded. eff it does put a
finger into affairs here We will see what
can be done," he says. 81 am simply

WAR AHEAD.
One of the principal stockholders Of
the American Company assured the
"Herald" correspondent this mornin g
the chances of big war are splendid.
He thought that something had been
agreed upon by the Hawaiian stockhold-
ers and that big clash of capital is ex-
pected. He expects to see prices go down
to four cents per pound, or far lower
than in any other section of the country.
The loser will be in bad way, for each
San Francisco refinery has about eighty
| thousand tons of sugar in sight.
Andrew Welch of the same company,
who is in charge of the refinery, says
tEat the company will meet every figure
that Spreckels makes.
