well-known china. glass and house fur

ston on display every novelty in this line,
but his stock OF goods is one from which
gifts may be purchased that will not only
be appreciated during the holidays but
also throughout the year. Ills stock of cut
gIasS is simply ineXhaEstible. Ii is not a
stock OF cheap cuttings, cut one of the
most artistic, including all the latest shapes
and designs. Then, has stock of Havaand
china is p-rchased direct from the original
makers, limitations being things not had by

broken sets of Gina. thus enabling his pa

OF the highway commission on the lTIn
utlmo, which meeting result "a i'm the Ie-
turn to the District Commissioners Of tho
pats OF section l. recently submitted ly
them to this commission for final approval,
with the request to the Comm issi i0nars 10
prepare new maps embodying less aum-
DtI ol east ana west StrGeiS. with other
minor notifications. Mr.. Lambert stated
! that these modified maps had been pre-
pared and would shortly be submitted 10
the highway commission, but upon appli-
cation by several parties representing in
diNidual property owners, as well as the
association, the District Commissioners rad
decided that they were at tha present rims
without authority to grant hearings and re-
/ ceive suggestions in regard to this latest
map, from citizens or others and mat the
only means Of protecting their interest in
| this regard remaining to the property own
ers would be by appeal to the highway
commission.
Mr.. Lambert then introduced a resolu-
ton providing for committee Of five to
dfaft and forward to the highway commis-
sion a letter requesting a hearing upon md
the privilege of examination Of the revised
plan of street extension for this section.
This resolution was carried, and the pr,.st-
dent appointed the following committee:
| Wilton j. Lambert, chairman: y. T. Rob-
lnson, Z. T. Bates, John Il. keane and
Louis p. Shoemaker.
After the conclusion of other routine bus
mess the association adjourned.

The sentiment of mutual good will now

by Their common undertaking of this work

elusive control. All danger of friction
would be aVerted by the joint prosecution
and protection Of the work. From A mere
1y mercenary point of view this co-opera-
ton is desirable The canal will run

Now that it Is pretty well decided that
the United States will push the Nicara qua
canal through to completion, the promoters
of the Panama canal have become very
vigorous in the presentation of that scheme
CnCe more to popular favor The Panama
Canal Company is private corporation
ard If the Panama canal is built, even with
the assistance of this government, it will
be controlled for the profit of private indi-
Vlduals. Any canal come, ting the Atlantic
and Pacific. which the United States builds
or assists to build, must be the sole prof.
erty of this people, and must not only he
owned, but must be operated by this GOV
ernment. The United States must con
struct, own and operate canal itself.

Whatever the prospects or projects of the
Panama company may be, our government
must go ahead with the Nicaraguan canal
1t is strategic necessity in war and is de-
manded by the requirements of our COM
mercial expansion.
We cannot afford to depend upon any pri-
Nate company or a corporation of foreign
ers. We urgently need an isthmian canal
and it must be built in the near future, and
must be controlled by the government of
the United States.

From the Detroit Tribune.

The Panama company sees that two
canals cannot be made to pay for a CEN
tury, at least. If the Nicaragua scheme
goes, the Panama one loses it's every in
vested dollar. Hence the Panama people
will seek to unload by hook or crook If
they cannot drive a good bargain on the
common commercial level, they will force
the dicker by threatening the United States
at their weakest point. Their weakest
point is that the Congress of the United
States is not authorized to build canals In
Central America without the consent of
any other nation.

1t is evident that there will be no legisla-
tion this winter by Congress on any of the
Nicaraguan projects. Congress will have
into that complicated question, and in all
probability when the merits of the two re-
sQective canal schemes are fully understood
Congress will conclude to keep it's hands
out of the business entirely. Nor is the
completion of the Panama canal anything
like simple an undertaking as its advo-
Gates assume. 1t presents fewer difficulties
than the other route. But before the Mic
araGua route is abandoned our government
should exact further guarantees. if any are
necessary outside of the existing treaty
with Co.ombia, that not only in time of
peace, burt in time of war restriction
shall be placed upon the passage of our
naval vessels through the canal.

From the Providence Telegram (iud.).

But whatever may be done about the pro-
posed canal, and it should be constructed,
it should be under the absolute control OF
the United States; and such arrangement
can be made as will guarantee that condi-
ton with absolute justice to Great Britain
and all other nations. We cannot afford to
be with ut the canal, and, once cons ,ructed
we cannot afford TO be without abSotute
control of it. 1t is believed that. in its
present attitude. the British government
will interpose no serious objections.

From the New York Tribune
The only proper course in connection with
the canal enterprise is that outlined in the
Presidents message That is to let affairs
remain exactly as they now are until this
governments investigating commission
shall have made the fullest possible report
upon the subject, and for this government
then to take such action as seems to it wise
and proper; and in any event for the canal
to be- from first to last. under the control
of the United States. In that way alone
can the naturalization of the great water
highway be assured and the security of our
coasts in any possible emergency be safe
guarded And we take it that those objects
sufficiently important to be held para
mount over all other interests or preten-
sions that may arise.

The government Of Great Britain will

From the Syracuse Standard (rep.).

Joint control of interoceanic route
might be feasible in peace; but, If war
broke out between either of the two nations
and another nation. the canal would neces
sarily be neutralized If it were under the
control of the United States when this
country was at war, its possession would
be of the highest advantage. Americans
are frank to say that they desire to have a
canal between the Atlantic and the Pacific
as a means of military defense-a channel
for the tranSportat ton of warShips from one
coast to the other. They would consent
to no arrangement that would deprive them
of that privilege.

The proverb says, in time of peace, pre-
pare for war" and no part of our prepara-
ton can be obvious as the construction
of this canal. 1t must be built and we
consider the time for discussing whether
it ought or ought not to be built ended
The uDshot OF the matter is, that the
Nicaragua canal must be built, but that
Great Britain's rights in the matter must
be respected. We must, of course, control
the canal, but that control can easily be
secured by negotiations set on foot with
England in the proper spirit and with the
sincere intention of recognizing her rights
frankly and making proper compensation
for whatever she Is asked to surrender.
