Chicago, with a number Of outsiders,

the steamer Finance of the Panama
line for fifty-days' sojourn on the
proposed route of the cana. They have
been at the Fifth-avenue Hotel since
Sunday morning, making up the party,
to Corinto, over the line of the canal,
and thence to Greytown.
This step is the most important in
Nicaragua canal affairs since the old
company virtually admitted that after
an expenditure OF more than $4,000, 900
it could not GO on, and this matter
now confronts Congress with the Nor
gan bill, asking reimbursement to that
amount.
Chicago will be asked to furnish 15,-
100000 pounds of dynamite for rock

on to ship to New Orleans, and thence
to Greytown, 100000 tons of coal, to
say nothing of thousands of tons OF
provisions and other supplies.

From the Wilmington (Dei.) News.
The elections are over and thing of the
past. The men W no were elected will sooner
or later be sworn in and the great ma
cLinery Of se;f-government will continue to
run without Interruption until another cleo
ton comes ale ng to disturb matters.
Now Is the time for every man of business
to forget politics and to resume strict at
tcntion to business. The signs of the times
are encouraging and there Is much to be
done. The consumption of the necessarics
oc life goes on and the manufacturers and
the merchants have to make the best of the
main chance.
No matter who Is elected the people have
to live. They have to work, to eat to wear
clothes, to buy household goods. to run
shops and manage stores. There Is no ces-
satior Of work in the great arteries of
trade. The temporary diversion of short
campaign-and for that there is much for
sratitude-should inspire renewed energy
now that the regulation smoke" has
cleared away.
There is every encouragement to take up
the thread Of trade now and to push for
ward with energy and determination. No
worker can afford to be sluggish. 1t is nec-
essary to keep on going. The way to i'm
prove business is for the merchants to ad-
vertise and for the consumers to buy Live

Theodore ROOseycIt.

Theodore Roosevelts election as governor
of New York forms another advance in
career already well filled with achieve
ments. His public services have been un-
remittng since he entered the New York
legislature and impressed his vigorous per-
sorahty upon some of the statutes then
enacted. His work as civil service COM
missioner was most beneficial to the cause
of reform. and it was with regret that the
enemies of the spoiis system saw him de-
part for New York city to become a police
commissioner. His work there was sur
rounded by many embarrassments and OBJ
stacles, for he was forced to put the police
department through the process of reorgan-
izaton after the thorough Generalization
which it had experienced at the hands of
Iammany- While he became unpopular
with the thugs and biack-mailers and loaf
ers on the police force, he Won the high
esteem of the better people. His service in
the Navy Department as assistant secre-
tary was of exceptional value, by reason
of his foresight and energy. 1t was en-
tirely characteristic of the man that at the
first call to arms he should hasten to the
front, organizing one of the most remark
able military organizations ever, known.
This combination of cowboys and Million
aires, hard fighters and ardent patriots,
won distinction by acts of gallantry and
became an object OF worldwide attention.
Col. Roosevelt showed that his courage was
not confined to the facing of moral dangers
and to charging esta ablished corruption.
His personal record in the war is brilliant
He entered the New York campaign heavily
handicapped with the unfortunate record
of the state administration, with the canal
scandal dragging him back and with the
werful Tammany machine to fight in the
city. He has won handsomely. characters

will give New York an honest, fearless in

run about 5000 less than those given to
Van Wyck. This fact suggests that there
were only 6,000 democrats who cut ths

the meetings must have represented prac-
