INLAND WATERWAYS.

One Of the most novel and striking sur
gestions that have recently been made by
the opponents ofrailroad monopoly is the
plan for complete inland water route
along the whole Atlantic seaboard, from
New York city to the Gulf Of Mexico. A
glance at the map of this strip Of Goa st
seems to warrant us in the belief that the
construction OF such waterway Is not
only possibility, but even very feasible
project. Communication already exists
between New York and Chesapeake bay.
amd the only portion of the coast which
appears to entail any considerable ex.
pense for the construction of canals il
that between Norfolk, Va, and the upper
waters Of Albemarle Sound. Naval en-
gineers tell us that the inland nayiGa-
zion along the coast of North Carolina
and portions Of South Carolina, is excel
lent. The Georgia aud Florida coast also
affords adequate waterways for light
draught craft, and with very little drede.
ing could be made navigable for large
freight vessels.
Such an inland water route would be
serviceable in many ways. Sailors who
are engaged in the coast wise trade
would hail with delight the consumma.
tloa Of any plan which would enable
them TO avoid the dangerous passage
around Cape Hatteras and the numerous
other parts Of a sea voyage. This route
then would be infinitely safer. The loss Of
life and property incident 20 shipwreck
woSld Of necessity be greatly lessened.
and the saving thus affected would. per.
haps, in the eour Sc Of few years, more
than repay the government for the ex.
pense involved in the construction Of
this inland route In time OF war. too
supplies could be transported from point
to point, along our exposed coast. with
comparative security
The most important influence that this
inland water route would exert would be |
in its effect upon the present railroad
freights. The opinion Is gaining ground
that the canals and inland water ways
are calculated to become a wholesome
check on railway extortion in freights.
Congressman Blanchard, the chairman OF
the river and harbor committee. in his
very able report to the present Congress.
says with the opening Of water navi.
gatiess s-eights are reduced and the rail.
ways are forced to be reasonable
IN their charges. Trade improves pro
duction increases, and the community
thrives Where transportation by water IS
secured 70 section Of country there Is
always a corresponding increase in its
prosperity. These are words from one
who has given the subject careful study,
and is eminently qualified to pronounce
an opinion. This question as phase Of
the growing opposition to all kinds OF
monopolies, win undoubtedly soon claim
attention Of our national Legislators.
When il is once pntto the test. the much
mooted question as to the power Of great
corporations in Congress, will be settled
beyond all dispute.

Tke Ground on Which the Election Was
Held.
Delaware Farm and iiome.
The political situation in Delaware pre
sents some peculiar featurers which NAV
be more or less modified by the election
of United States Senator. Conspicuous
IN the Republican platform was the local
option resolution, which was placed there
by Sussex county influence against the
opposition OF some Of the most influential
and aspiring politicians in Kent and New
Castle counties. Then marked
feature Of the Kent county convention
was the strong undercurrent of con
wictlon that the time has arrived when
the power Of railroad companies and other
great semi-public corporations should be
restricted by legal enactments based
upon equity and justice, and this belief
had decided influence in the selection
OF the candidates for legislative honors.
In Sussex county there was a still
stronger feeling which found expression
IN resolution declaring that railroads
should not be allowed to discriminate
against one section of a state and in
favor OF another The thin king men of all
parties IN the county had become firmly
convinced that reforms were needed IN
the management of state and county
affairs, to be best secured bv constitti.
tional convention The Sussex county
convention voiced this sentiment in its
resolutions. The conviction in Sussex ON
the temperance question having been
strong enough to place local option plank
the state platform was of course given
prominent expression In the Sussex
county resolutions. Then more userut
feature Of the Sussex plan this
year was that each hundred was
asked to name its best man for the Leois
I4ture. regardless of clique or faction or
the personal ambition OF any man. These
Facts In conjunction of the negative atti-
tude OF the opposite party show clearly

MASSEY OUT OF THE RACE.

The Confess Between smishers an.
Higgins--A Dark Horse.
To the Editor of EVENING JOURNAL.
1t Is well enough to look at the polit
lcai situation in relation to the COMING
Senatorial struggle as we find it in Kent
county to-day. The real fight has mar
rowed itself down to Hon. Nathaniel B.
Smither OF Dover and Anthony Higgins
Esq, OF Wilmington The struggle be
tween these two gentlemen may be long
and protracted and If this Is so Rent
county will insist on A. b. Richardson as
the Dark Horse"
Massey is conceded here by some OF his
intimate friends as being out of the race
II the people of this county thought Mr..
Massey was factor in the Senatorial
question indignation meetings would be
called at once in every hundred in the
county. You have no idea of his personal
unpopularity and above all the leading
and working Republicans have no faith
IN his Republicanism. He has never been
anything but a drone in the political bee
His election would disrupt the party
from one end of the state to the other
and In fact leading Republican told me
TO-DAY that 1t would be impossible to
make out Republican ticket in this
county for ten years If he, Massey. were
sent to the Senate. In other words the
leading ardent, industrious Republicans
would absolutely lie down.
mr. Massey is fighting A. B. Richard
sons Senatorial boom, because he knows
would be formidable opponent.
