AN INTEROCEANIC CANAL.

The battle-ship Oregon has left San Francisco under orders to join the
 North Atlantic squadron at Key West
 She will cruise by way Of Cape Horn
 and will require at least six weeks to
 cover the fifteen thousand miles of the
 rum She can not proceed at top speed
 in view of the great length of the trip
 and the heavy demands of such a pro
 ceeding upon her coal bunkers, which
 are not large enough to permit racing
 over long distances. With good for
 tune the Oregon may join the home though she is not officially expected to
 reach her destination before the mid
 dle of that month. Meanwhile the
 most momentous operations may have
 been begun and the absence of the Or egon may be severely felt by the Amer
 ican forces in the event of naval en- agreements. Of course, arriving late,
 this ship may prove a timely and val
 uable reinforcement, but not enough is
 known of modern naval warfare to
 warrant prediction as to the useful
 ness of late arrival. After three or
 four weeks of fighting there may not
 be enough left of either party to the
 row to cause the newcomer to be Of
 any assistance whatever.
 Such considerations, however, are
 beside the mark in view of the larger
 question involved in the necessity of sending the Oregon from San Francis co to Key West by way of Cape Horn. Were the Nicaraguan canal completed under the auspices of this government it would now be possible for the Ore gon to reach the Atlantic in at least half and perhaps one-third the time that will be consumed by her trip un- der existing conditions. Not only would the actual distance be reduced very materially but this reduction would permit the speeding of the ship by enabling her to draw more heavily Indeed, it is roughly esti- mated that the Oregon would ! be able by this means to join the North Atlantic squadron by the middle of April. The Nicara guan can al project contains many such possi- ! bilities for the extension of material aid to this country in time of peace as well as war. The commercial reasons for it's completion are overpowering. 1 It has been theoretically but confi- 1 dently asserted in the past by the i friends of the project that the military value of the canal could not be too 1 highly estimated. Now comes a bit of actual experience that ought to dem onstrate to the government that if the 1 commission now inquiring into the 1 canal scheme should report in favor | of its completion every energy ought to be bent to the end that the century may close with the work well under l way and with every prospect of the inn !! mediate union of the Atlantic and the | Pacific

THE CHOICE.

Presumably there Is nobody In NcwYOrk so
foolish as not to know that Judge Van Wyck
was nominated solely because Mr.. Croker
wanted him nominated, whether he expected
him TO run or not Nobody had dreamed TINT
he was a candidate. He assured the first re-
porter who reached him that It was absurd and
Impossible. Tammany leaders knew nothing
about It until very late in the night. The coun-
try Democrats never had an idea that he was n
proper man for the place. At the wish Of one
man. without the faintest shadow of popular
demand, approval or support. he was suddenly
put at the hend Of the ticket II there ever was
q nomination made In contemptuous disregard
of party or It's convention. and solely by its
master. this was Colonel Roosevelt was nomi-
mated. on the contrary. because the party man.
ayers found they could not help It, The ques-
ton need not be raised whether they would
have been inclined to fight against his nomina-
ton II there had been q chance. 1t came TO be
es clear as anything in politics can he that if
they fought they would be beaten. and by a
popular demaLd which no combination OF poll
tcians could resist. Thereupon they assentcd
with much enthusiasm. and the nomination was
made by the convention as it had been made
before by the voters.
Now this is a contrast which deserves close
attention There has been much talk in recent
years about the boss influence in the two par
ties, and there are good many so-called inde-
pendents who have found It pleasant TO say
that one party is just as bad as the other in
that respect; that If man has TO be governed
by q boss Mt all il does not make n great deal
OF difference whether the man is called n Re.
publican or Democrat, and that the man nomi-
mated in that fashion must be assumed. on the
face Of things, TO be the willing and ready tool
OF the organization by which he was nominated.
good many people fool themselves In that
way The fact is that political organization
las first Of all, 10 keep itself alive In order 10
do that II has TO regard more or less the wishes
of those upon whom IL depends for support. If
circumstances are such that IL does not need 10
ask their wish at all, and can do exactly what II
plcases quite regardless Of them, as happened In
tie Democratic State Convention. then the boss
nomlnatcs the mnn he likes and nobody has
anything TO say. But II it happens that there Is
n popular demand for this man or the other.
then the party organization has to decide
whether 1t will fight that predominant public
opinion or accept the candidate thus indicated.
That happened in the Republican convention
The plth of the matter is that IL happens in
Republican conventions often and in Demo
cratic conventions rarely a Republican con
vcntion seldom convenes without any distinct
body, and then nominates some man Of whom
not one delegate had ever dreamed ms a cand-
date. The strength Of public opinion in favor Of

CANADIAN LUMBER.

Among the questions under consideration by
the British American Conference now sitting nj
Quebec is that Of duties on lumber exported
from Canada to the United States. At present
there is n United States duty Of 81 thousand
on lumber brought hithei from the Dominion
that is on white pine, win n is the most impor-
tant knd-and there is corresponding cana
dian export duty on pine logs shipped hlther
1t is reported that the Conference VIII propapiy
agree upon a repeal Of both these duties. AT
least so far as the better grades Of pine are con-
cerned and recommend the establishment or
free trnde in such lumber between the two
countries
Against this there are being made both In
Canada and in the United States. some strong
protests. and 1t is probable that the adop-
ton Of the plan would work some hardships
Yet we believe II would be for the best, and for
the good of the lumber interests Of this country
as well ms of other interests. The fact Is. our
supply Of white pine is nearly exhausted. Enor
nous quantities have been used, and still greater
quantities have been wasted and destroyed by
fires. by improper methods Of cutting and other
wise Never In the history Of the world. we
SUPPOSE have great natural resources been
more wastefuy dealt with than the forests OF
the United States The result is that our supply
Of lumber is running short and will In few
years be exhausted no proper steps for it's natu-
raj renewal have been taken and the injury to
the watercourses and agricultural lands through
the dcfOrestaton Of the country is incidentally
great.
The surest way to remedy this state Of af-
fairs. or one way Of helping to do So is to re-
move the duty on Canadian pine and let our
supplies be got from the vast forests OF the Do
minion That will discourage the further cut
ting down Of our forests and will give them a
chance to recover from the abuses TO which
they have been subjected. OF course, there
should also be stringent action taken for the
protection of our forests from fires and other
injury. and for the enforcement Of proper
methods Of cutting and Of promoting the re-
newnl Of timber growth. AS for the Canadian
forests despite the curious statements now put
forward to the contrary, they have not begun to
suffer the Ills that have been inflicted upon ours,
and they are worked far more wisely than ours,
so that there will be no danger Of their undue
destruction even If they are made to supply the
wants of the whole North American continent
for many years to come.
