Sounds Well, Hut Won't Do.
Charlotte On. O. ObserverO

In an interview published in the Wash
ington Post of last Saturday between
correspondent of that paper and Govern
or Russell, this passage occurs:
What is the percentage Of the colored
vote in the Slater
There are seventy white voters for
every thirty colored voters. 1 only quote
these figures to show how unfounded are
the claims that the State Is in danger of
negro domination. There seems to be an
impression that in North Carolina the
negroes are greater numerically than the
whites. as is the case, for instance, In
some sections of Mississippi. This is not
true"
1t looks very well on its face. and is
very well calculated, as IL Is intended
10 fool outsiders. 1t is true that there
are about three white people to one negro
in North Carolina. taking the State over;
there Is very unequal distribution Of
the colored poulation, which is massed
in the eastern counties. while In some
OF the western counties the negroes are
hardly a handful. In about twenty OF the
eastern counties the negroes are a ma
jority Of the population. and 1t is no
comfort to the white people of those
counties to be told that In some other
counties Of the State there are next to
no negroes at all. 1t 10 In these eastern
counties that negro domination Is present
and no amount OF sophstry can negative
the cold facts Of the case.

The InterOceanic Canal.
Baltimore American.)


An interesting turn in the fortunes of
the company formed for building
canal by the Nicaraguan route has been
reached. The Maritime Canal Company
obtained from the Nicaraguan Govern
ment concession for ten years, dating
from October TO- 1889. 1t also got from
Costa Rica a somewhat similar conces-
sion, which has three more years to
run. 1t was on these concessions that
the Congress of the United States grant
ed the charter to the Maritime Canal
Company. AS the important concession
expires next year, this charter will, of
course, have to be renewed. Now there
steps in another concern. The Nicara-
guam Congress, after four days discuss
ion, has unanimously approved an
agreement made Professionally by the
President of Nicaragua with two Ameri-
can engineers and contractors, by
which they are authorized to construct
an interoceanic canal. The main point
is the clause declaring that the conces-
sion to the Maritime Canal Company,
the present corporation, Will expire Oc
tober 9, 1899. This action. according to
the dispatches, was received with pro-
longed cheering" The new syndicate
must open communication between the
Atlantic and the Pacific in three years.
If the whole canal is not cut then, the
connections must be completed by rail-
ways. The concession is for 1893 years.
What effect upon the old company
the new corporation will have remains
To be seen. 1t may be a friendly compe-
tition, or it may not be. That is to be set
tied. But 1t will in all probability bring
out all the clearer the total impractical
bility OF the Nicaraguan scheme. The
truth is coming TO light with each stage
of the discussion. Ii would take many
times three years TO dig the canal and
build the necessary harbors and then
II would be questionable If they could
be used. General Abbott, one of the
most reliable and distinguished of the
government engineers, who began his
Investigations with a disposition in
favor of the Nicaraguan route, after
careful personal labors, comes to the
conclusion that II is unavailable. il not
impossible, and that the only feasible
route is that Of Panama. He gives
some wonderfully valuable information,
especially showing how the difficulties
Of the mountain torrents, that at first
seemed unconquerable, have been salts
factorily regulated by skiltul engineering.
This route Is less than one-third the
Nicaragua route, and II has good har-
bors at each end. 1t can be constructed
quickly and with less danger, and at
known cost. General Abbott endorses IL
as the best that can be done. This is in
line with the Americans insistent adj
vice. for to commit the country to the
Nicaraguan folly. or to issue bonds on
such a scheme, would be to throw hun
dreds of millions of dollars away with
out result or return.
