If civilization is to advance in this
country, about the first thing to be
done is the building Of the Nicaraguan
canal by the people of the United
States through the government at
Washington. This work must be done
and done quickly. Woe unto the DO
litical party that stands in the way!
Let us at once get to work on it, and
there will be trouble for the European
nation that tries to embarrass the
work. Great Britain has been throw
ing stones in our way, and through
various English syndicates succeeded
In stopping the grand work begun ten
years ago by private parties under
direction of our government. p
Neither shall any foreign power be
permitted to parallel the canal; and no
European nation must be permitted to
own islands or maintain ports within
six hundred miles of either entrance
to it, When congress gets to work on
the plans all these things will be looked
after. ~

Early History Of Canal Project

From the early history of the coun-
try the question of canal has been
under consideration. As soon as the
exploring Spaniards discovered that
there was no open route from Europe
to the East, they began to talk about
making one. Several of the early ex-
plorers by no means appreciated the
value of their discoveries. Columbus
was disappointed rather than gratified
at the fact that a continent lay before
him, for his purpose was to find way
to India and China, and he REGARDED
the American continent as an unfor-
tunate barrier in his path. The Span
ish viceroys and governors were all
charged by the government with the
duty of finding good canal route, and
before the middle of the sixteenth CEN
tury every practicable line which might
serve the purpose was carefully exam
1ned. The results Of the investigations
made by the Spanish governors are
summarized by Humboldt, who men
tions five routes as possibly available
for future use. .s& j

The Voyage of the Oregon.

The voyage of the Oregon, continu-
Ing as it did over many weeks, being
the longest ever undertaken by a mod
ern lronclad, has called attention more
than ever before to the need of ship
canal between the Atlantic and the
Pacific. The voyage of the Oregon is
an object lesson of no little value. F.
tunately, the ship arrived in time to be
of service, but on some future occa-
sion ship may not arrive in time and
the necessity for quicker communica-
ton is emphasized by this voyage,
which, better than anything else, gives
an idea of the immense distance that
must be traversed by our ships On
either side of the continent when there
is need of their services on the other.
The military and naval Importance
OF canal route can not be exaggerated
AS it is now, over three months are,
required to send fleet from New York
to San Francisco, and, i'm a sudden
emergency, the Pacific coast might be,
at the mercy of a foreign enemy for
that length Of time, simply from the
fact that our government has neglected
to encourage canal construction across
the isthmus.
