While the United States is wrestling how
TO get it's money back from the subsidized
railroad companies il might be as well to
take q reef in our sails, so 10 speak, before
we enter upon the Nicaragua inter
oceanic canal scheme There are millions
ia it, OF course. for somebody; but not for
your Uncle sam, wbo, wien he goes into
partnership with any corporation, gen
orally comes Qua at tie little end of the
horn. Take. for instance. the case OF the
Pacific railroads. Mr.. Huntington testified
before the Senate committee that his profits
on his investment had amounted iii twenty
years 10 only three ga four million dollars.
THIS may not be. according To the calcu-
lations and expectations If such fiaancier,
an extraordinary, or even a satisfactory
gain for twenty years OF work and anxiety.
At the same time Ulaeae Sam, who invested
a good deal more than Mr.. Huntington did,
has not even been able TO get the interest
on his money, ana il is doubtful if he ever
will get much OF either interest or principal.
There is little doubt but that history would
repeat Itself in the NIcaraguan Canal en-
terprise.
For several good and sufficient reasons
tie United States should not countenance
the Nicaraguan Canal scheme. In the
first place, looking 81 the matter from the
pccuniary standpoint, there is good ground
for believing that all estimates heretofore
submitted as basis for government
subsidy, are far below the actual cost Of
the undertaking. The recent report of
the commission Of engineers, sent by the
President TO Congress. shows that the
private surveys made thus far are alto
gcther misleading, either as to the feast
bllity or the cost or an fnteroceanic cauaL

thorough survey, the expense OF which
would be not less than $3.50 900. The re-
port also expresses the opinion that the
canal would cost more than double the
amount estimated by the canal company.
and that the engineering difficulties to be
overcome In its construction Will be far
greater than represented. In other words
the one hundred million dollars which the
United States is asked to contradiction
that is what il would not begin tc
suffice To build the canal.
II the enterprise were as comparatively
simple and a 5 profitable as is claimed by
its promoters and advocates some of
whom, OF course, like Senator Morgan, for
instance, are perfectly honest in their be-
Iiefs and private capital
would not he wanting. There are untold
millions, both in this country and in Eu-
rope, awaiting profitable Investment, and
their owners would jump al the chance to
place them where they would yield such
profits as are promised by the Nicara qua
Canal people But the capitalists of Europe
and of the United States can't see it"
They have been mace wary by tle expert
ence of De LeSseps and the Panama Canal,
and they have arrived at the conclusion
that interoceanic canal schemes, whether
called Panama, Tehuantepec or Nicaragua,
are good things to let alone.
Objection is made in some quarters on
the score OF the international complications
which such an intereceanic waterway
might give rise To. These could probably
be obviated by a convention of the leading
powers of Europe and the republics Of
North, Central and South America, which
would make the canal and both its termini
neutral territory. The United States, how
ever, should keep its fingers out of that
pie. There are no plums in il for your
Uncle Sam.

EFFECT OF HUNTERS ACTION.

Decidedly the most interesting infofiIla-

or less dissatisfaction among the RepHb-

To those who argue thus the interesting
question presented by DE-. Hunters with
dra wal, is as 10 the person who Will bc-
come the beneficiary of his retirement. II
is not believed that any single Republican
can control the following, which has here
toforc supported nr. Hunter, which fur
