immense enterprise.
The failure Of the Panama scheme was
the thing that induced the success Of the

reported that the Panama route was i'm

tween the TWO continents is only
one hundred and fifty feet above the sea
aud il has enough water 20 furnish the
canals. one only twelve miles long on the
Pacific side ard the others made by
nature with great river.
As we have always said, there Is some
thing more than business in the Nicara-
qua canal Il is the point Of enterprise
that the American people had in pushing
our destiny logically and with ideas Of
trade development.
Jefferson ran great risks when BIO &C
quired Louisiana, and the country ran
still greater risks when it brought on
the Mexican war, but we know that boil
those performances were right. And nov

1t would all be sold out 70 the Csrna-

know that Il is pretty well done now.
The reason why the Radical gang Is
not whipped out Of power is simply
because ibe Southern politicians in the
infinite vanity OF selffoohshness wish 10
do thing that their constituents do not

rect mere personal RUG OF politicians,
