To Link Erie and Michigan.

The most gigantic of all domestic
canal projects, to which the present
general revival of interest in inter
Tor waterways has given birth is the
proposed ship canal between Lake
Erie and Lake Michigan. A def
mite route for-this immense enter
prise has already been urged upon
the Toledo Chamber of Commerce
by DR.. L. f. Harris, OF Defiance, o.
The line which he has recommend
ed is to start at Toledo, on Lake
Erie; follow up the Maumee river
by slackwater navigation to point,
near the State line of Indiana;
thence across the northern part of
Allen county to chain OF lakes
which cross the summit in Indiana;
from the western end of these lakes
down Turkey creek to the Elkhart
river; down the Elkhart river to
Goshen, Ind, at which place it is to
leave Elkhart river and follow par
allel with it to the city of Eikhart;
thence south of the Big ST. Joe to
South Bend; from this point across
to Michigan City, which is twenty
miles across Lake Michigan TO
Chicago.
The successful building of such a
canal would shorten the distance be-
tween Toledo or Detroit and Chica-
go by fully GIG miles. The lake
voyage now necessitates the travers-
ing of $40 miles of water. The pro-
posed route across the Southern
Michigan Peninsula would be dis
lance of only 2O4 miles. An en-
largement of the MAMA and Erie
Canal between Toledo and Cincin-
natl would give the Queen City q
waterway of only 3O2 miles to the
metropolis of the West, and Lake
Michigan and the Northwest would
thus be linked with the Ohio Val
ley. The season of navigation
furthermore be heightened by at
least one third.
The chain of lakes mentioned as a
feature of the route extend for &c
miles across the summit of Indiana,
and are at an average height of 29s
feet above Lake Erie. These lakes
would constitute the summit level
of the canal, which would have an
average width of $500 feet and an
average depth of sixty feet. The
watershed of this region comprises
over 100000 acres, with an average
annual rainfall of $3.50 inches.
One-seventh of this rainfall would
furnish sufficient water to operate
the canal, with locks 400 feet long
and forty five feet wide. In the
digging of twenty-foot channel
rock would be struck at only one
place-the Providence rapids.

John Sherman.

Here is what the Wheeling, West
Virginia Ne,cs, has to say of Ohio's
distinguished senior Senator:
"John Sherman belongs in the
Democratic party remarked a
prominent Republican last night.
"If he was reported correctly in his
Akron speech, and 1 have no rea-
son to believe he was not, he is in
line with Democratic tariff doc
triue when he declares that he be-
lieves no duties should be levied for
protection that are not needed for
revenue. In this declaration he
puts himself against the doctrine of
protection for protectors sake,
which is the cornerstone of Repub-
lican principle. The sooner Mr.
Sherman gets into the Democratic
party the better. -
