WE MUST HAVE rHR CANAL.

The Nicaragua canal is essential to the transcontinental traffic of this country. Every day develops new facts which de- mand its speedy construction It now ap- pears that the Pacific railroads-the Southern Pacific especially--have again got control of the transportation route to the east by way of the isthmus of Panama and the Panama railroad. For a long time there has been disagree ment between the Pacific Mail company and the Panama railroad, and the road has run its own boats on both the At lantic and Pacific routes, and freights have been carried at competing rates. This situation did not please the South ern Pacific, which practically controls the Pacific Mail, and c. P Huntington, who represents both Pacific companies, has finally succeeded in restoring the old relations between the Pacific Mail and the Panama railroads, and the lat ter is to withdraw it's ships from the Pacific route The result will be a resto- ration of the old rates for freight and passage, which California merchants used to denounce as extortionate, and a loader cry than ever from the Pacific coast for the building of the Nicaragua canal.

PREPARING.

It is said that the war department, through General Miles, will ask congress in a few days for authority to equip the reserve force militia of 100000 men with Springfield rifles. This is the old army weapon, which has recently been discarded for the Krag Jorgensen maga- zine rifle, that is the standard of the army today. Under the present law the equipment of the army must be uniform, hence the necessity of obtaining from congress the authority to arm the mill itia with the old-time rifles.
 The bureau of ordnance will ask for an emergency appropriation of 500,000, with which to continue work at the gov ernment gun factory at the navy yard. The appropriation for this work is ex- hausted, owing to the failure of the last congress to meet the demands made upon that body by Secretary Herbert.
 The bureau of construction and repairs will also ask for an energy appropria- tion of $500000 to put the vessels held in reserve as an auxiliary navy in fighting trim There are thirty-two of these ves- sels. inclusive of the ocean grey-hounds Paris, New York and St. Louis. now un- der government subsidy. It is proposed to arm these vessels with 5-nch guns.
 As to the lake defenses, we have the assurance of the war department that a few days would suffice for equipping with pinch guns the thirty fine mer- chant steamers plying between Chicago and Cleveland, and that these would be able to cope with the British gunboats and small cruisers, the only fighting craft that could be sent through the Welland canal We are told that battle ships and armored cruisers could not be taken through the canal.
 The present condition of our coast de- lenses brings forcibly to mind the wis dom of Samuel J. Tildens letter to Sen ator Hawley, as chairman of the com mittee on military affairs, in 1876, in which that cool-headed statesman urged the strengthening of the defenses of our coasts and cities against fol eigp invasion. The treasury was running over with millions of sur plus money, and MT. Tilden's views were sound all the way through. War comes unexpectedly sometimes, and it is liable to come any year. MT. Tilden wanted our harbors and coast lines prop erly defended and made ready for any emergency. He was entirely right.
Birmingham state herald., 1895-12-24

what I have heard" he said. q believe that MT. Cleveland has decided to offer the chalrmanship of the commission which is to be sent to Venezuela to Gen. eral Harrison. I am not an admirer of MT. Cleveland, but I am forced to admit that in many things he displays unusual judgment and common sense. It would be a master stroke on his part to invite General Harrison to take the post of hon. or on the commission. and to a certain extent it would take the wind out Of the republican sails. General Harrison could hardly refuse to serve if the ap- pointment should be offered him. Ii is very interesting situation. to say the least"
 It is also reported that Col. A. K. Me- Clure, editor of the Philadelphia Times will be one of the commissioners. Colonel Mcclure thinks Mr. Olney and Lord Salisbury may not be so. far apart as they appear to be- Lord. Salisbury ad- mits, he says, not as law. but as policy, that Monroe was right in declaring this continent no longer open for European colonization. Yet the real substances of his long communication lies in the concluding paragraph. to the effect that. whatever the formal boundary line, there actually exists an English settlement in this valley which ought not to be and cannot be turned over to Venezuela"
 Colonel Mcclure continues:
 "The question of fact is thus a much simpler one than al first appears It be- ing admitted that the boundary never was formally marked out with the assent of both sides an extension of actual oc- cupation from one side or the other is not necessarily to be condemned as un- lawful or unfrendly. If this is mere extension into unoccupied contiguous territory, it is not really a fresh acquisi- ton; if the Spaniards or the Venezuelans ever occupied the valley of the Cuyuni and the English have gone in there and taken it from them, then we have right to object upon precisely the same grounds on which we should object to a new Spanish colonization. The question of monarchcal institutions, with which Monroe had to deal. has nothing to do with the case"
 If the United States commissioners who are to determine whether or not the Monroe doctrine applies to the Venezue- Ian boundary case are of the highly pa- triotic and conservative character of Ex-Presdent Harrison and Colonel Me Clure. we may rest assured that if peace is not maintained it will be because peace is inconsistent with honor.

Will Stand by Him.

We have been entreated time and again by some of our warmest and best friends to advocate Hon. K. H. Clarke for gov ernor instead of Captain Johnston. We cannot consistently do so, although MT. Clarke is of our faith on the finance question. We think MT. Clarke is bet ter suited in working out our political salvation in the halls of congress than in being governor of Alabama, even though he had the attractive power of uniting the dsgruntled democrats of the state in the same measure as Captain Johnston. We cannot forget how ear nestly Captain Johnston has worked for the supremacy of the democracy in this state in the years that have passed; how he sacrificed his time and money in go- ing from place to place urging unity among the masses in support of Colonel Oates after he himself was a defeated candidate. No, no, gentlemen. we can not, we shall not, we will not turn Cap tain Johnston loose for any man in the state for governor of Alabama--Leigh- ton News Administration
