The proposition that the United States
ties and Mexico shall jointly guarantee
the interest on 500, 100000 of per
cent. 100 year bonds to secure the
construction of the Tehuantepec ship
railway and ship canal is not likely to
find popular favor just at this time.
The American people have their minds
seton the construction of the Nicaragua
Canal, and legislation was begun in
Congress last session to guarantee the
Nicaragua bond. The Tehuantepec
project, brought forward now, can
only embarrass the canal scheme with
out any substantial benefit for the
Tehuantepec route. One at time
is a sufficiently large undertaking for
the United States"

The death of Sir John A. Macdonald,
the Canadian premier, occurred lit
tie over a week ago. The loss OF
statesman so prominent as Sir John is
one from which the dominion will not
easily recover. He was the leading
Canadian of the day, and there is none
wholly competent to fill his place.
What effect his death will have upon
the fortunes of the conservative par
ty cannot be foretOld. Whatever
change may come will not be immedi-
ate. But just now all Canadians, with
out regard to party, are mourning
their and their country's loss.
