Mexico is intelligently alive TO the
need of harbors on her Pacific coast,
and instead of an internal dissention
over location, as in California, she
goes to work without monkeying up
on the needed constructions. She has
made harbor at Tampico that is the
pride of the gulf, and she will make
another on the Pacific coast that will
give her a port there at which the
largest ocean vessels can load and I'M
load without any let or hindrance.

That far reaching conclusion Of the
president and Secretary Olney, that
there was no insurgent government
in Cuba, and therefore nothing that
the United States could recognize, has
come back at its authors like BOOM
erang in uneXpert hands. If there is
nothing as government that the
United States can recognize as such
so as to consider its claims, then
there is nothing that the courts of the
United States can recognize as such
to fasten a libel on. So say we all
of us.

There is no doubt that this country
is gradually awaking to the necessity
of that Nicaragua canal project. Ev-
cry time that it comes up in Congress
it is more and more favorabIy treat

to the necessity of that construction
to the commerce of this western con-
tinent, and the imperative need of its
being controlled by American direc-
ton, there is hardly a doubt that in
q short time the bill will pass Con-
gress and the work be undertaken un-
der the auspices and with the aid of
the United States government.

Cabinet positions are not as much
hawked around as the fool press re-

is consulting with the leaders of the
Republican party before making his
selections, and in addition he is hear

not only wants strong cabinet, but
one that will fully represent all sec
tons of the United States. When
that body is announced it will be
found able, harmonious, devoted to
American interests, truly Republican
in the best sense, that is standing
for everything distinctly e. Pluribus
