Governor MacCorkle says that it is
not true, so far as he knows. that his
relations with Governor O'FerraH '.are
strained" He may be right, but the
two Governors are not acting in unison
to preserve the peace on the border, as
MacCorkle proposed. And MacCorkle
knows whose fault this is.-RichmO1d

| II ls nearly time for the return Of the
| board Of engineers sent to examine the
prop 5sed route for the Nicareguan canal,
and the publication OF their report There
has been a quite general impression that
their report would in the main be favora-
BILE. This may have been founded on the
fact that the route has before this been
subjected to an examination, which was
probably as thorough and completely per-
formed as that of this present board and
that the general conclusion Of all the
information 0btainsble was that the Nc
aragua canal was feasible This impres
sion IS borne out by the Bluefelds Re
corder, which newspaper states that it can,
from information received, quite accurate
ly forecast the forthcoming report Of this
board of engineers. According to the
Recorder the board viii report in favor OF
carrying on the enterprise viii crticise
the former administration Of it, will sug
gest certain small changes in the route
and will recommend Colorado Bar instead
Of Greytown for the Atlantic terminus.
The Recorder also is authority for the
statement that the board will estimate the
cost OF construction at s110, 600, 900 and
Will express tho opinion that it can be
completed in six or seven years. II the
report of the board is as favorable to the
enterprise as Is indicated by this Nicara-
guam newspaper, there seems to be no
good reason why government should not
Immediately go ahead with the plan pro
posed for the construction of the canal
The estimate OF the cost is forty millions
greater than that made by Senator Nor
gan before the last Congress, but IL is by
no means insuperable and is two hundred
and ninety millions less than one railroad
journal estimated There Is no doubt that,
if the canal can be constructed within the
limits of any reasonable sum, it is the
duty of this government to construct and
manage it, and 1t is not unreasonable to
expect that the tolls will pay fair inter
est on the capital invested.

Imprisoning the Arm.

sir, with all reverence, that neither moral

tell you why. Mr. Skies here, as the evil
dence clearly proves, did not break into
any house at all He found the parior
window open, as the witnesses admit. and
all he did was TO put in his right arm and
remove some unimportant articles Now,
sir, Mr. Skies arm is not he himself. and
fail to see how you can punish the whole
individual for fault committed by only
one Of his limbs
