Just now the country is watching the
second generation Of some of it's great
names to discover whether the strength
of the fathers will show In the sons
While there is nothing more certain
than that blood will tell-and by blood
is not meant, necessarily, descent from
those who made the highways unsafe
when it was the polite and gentlemanly
thing to be a robber baron-the too adj
vantageous conditions under which
many Of these young men have started
out has made impossible any real devel-
opment of the powers which may be
latent In them. For Nature develops
nothing good without struggle; de-
generacy is the product of her idleness.
Progress toward higher type is solely
by constant effort and unceasing strife.
Man is no exception to this law. Our
great soldiers fought up to rank against
a thousand bitter opponents; our great
merchants gained wealth over swarm
of pushing competitors; and so on
through the list Of those who have
achieved success in any calling. It is
the constant conflict that strengthens
the sinews Of character. But in the
second generation Of success we too
often find the son, IN defiance Of Ma
ture's final law of development, spend
ing without earning, and receiving un-.
earned, and consequently ridiculous
honors. Those who have done nothing
but stagger under fathers historic
name along the path Of easy advance
ment are not likely to make history. 1t
is the nameless ones who have been
toiling up step by step whose names
will mean something at the end of the
present strife; for it is only with work

There is in the country a great re-
newal Of interest in the Nicaragua
canal, a bill for assisting in the con-
struction of which is now before Con-
gress with the expectation that it will
be the most important subject to be
discussed by that body at its next ses-
sion. There are some questions that
will add to the public interest upon the
subject, like the retention of the Phil
ippine islands, but the annexation Of
Hawaii is enough to make the project
an important and necessary one. 1t is
nearly half century ago that the
idea of constructing an interoceanic
canal across Nicaragua was first pub
licly discussed, and since then four or
five surveys have been made to ascer-
tain the best route and an approximate
idea as to the cost of the work. The
line that has been most popular extends
from Greytown, or some point near it.
through Nicaragua Lake to Brito, on
the Pacific coast Finally a company
was chartered by the United States to
construct the canal, and necessary con-
cessions were obtained from the Nicar-
aguan Government. The route adopted
was to start from Brito, following the
Rio Grande and the Lajas River to the
lake, distance of seventeen and half
miles. In this section the canal was to
have depth of thirty feet and a width,
at the bottom, Of 125 feet. Through the
lake a channel would have to be dredg-
ed, the distance from the mouth Of the
Lajas to Fort San Carlos on the eastern
shore being fifty-six and one-half miles.
From that point the River San Juan
would be followed for sixty-nine miles.
Two important tributaries enter the
San Juan, the San Carlos and the San
Francisco, at point called Ochoa, and
from that place regular canal would
be contracted to Greytown. There
have been several estimates made as
to the cost of the work, varying from
$65, 100000 to $133, 100000, but 1t is
probable that $110,000,00O would be
ample to complete it. The savings in
the distance to our ocean commerce
would, by the use Of this canal, be enor-
nous. Ships bound from San Fran
cisco to New York would save about
5000 miles in taking the canal instead
of going round Cape Horn. From Eng
land and European ports the saving Of
distance would be 1000 or 1000 miles
less. While the cost Of ocean transpor-
tation is not great, the risks of naviga-
ton are to be considered, while the
time, involving interest charges on
shipments and insurance are of great
moment. Judging from the most care
fully compiled estimates, the revenues
of the canal could not be much IL any
less than $S,0O0,0O0 annually, which
would pay operating expenses and re-
munerative dividend upon the money
invested. The present bill authorizes
the Government to guarantee bonds Of
the company to the amount Of $780,
600, being amply secured against any
loss by reason of such Endorsement.
The war has been an object lesson to
the people Of the country, and has re-
moved nearly all the opposition that
once existed against the Government
lending it's aid In the building Of this
Rreat waterway.

Americans do.

An UHsS aIed Harbor.

When the commanders of the Scor-
pion and the Osceola entered the bay at
Manzanillo, where they had established
q blockade after Pando had received
supplies enough to sustain his troops
for weeks. they were astonished to find
not gunboat or two. merely, but a
fort and shore lined with artillery and
infantry. 1t was only last week that
any attention was paid to this bay.
which had served as port of supplies
for the Spaniards. A large Spanish
steamer had recently entered the bay
and discharged a cargo of money and
provisions. The fire from the fort. the
shore artillery and the infantry proved
too hot for our boats, and they made
a precipitate retreat.
The significance of this is that the
blockade of Cuban ports has not been
complete. If this harbor had been seal
ed up there would have been no fear
that Pando's troops could effect a juno
ton with Linares. as they would have
been without supplies and in a demor-
allied condition. How many other
ports there are where the Spaniards
have been allowed to build unex-
pected forts and gather guns enough
to repel an attack can only be guess d.
Soon after the declaration of war our
warships bombarded few points where
the enemy was engaged in constructing
intrenchments, but since then they
have been allowed to go on with the
work almost without molestation. A
blockade which leaves open doors
through which an army of 5000 receives
ample supplies, including guns to be
used against our land forces, is certain
ly not effective. There is no lack of
American war vessels to seal I'D every
harbor that is within reach of the
Spanish armies in Cuba.

MOVING TOWARD THE FRONT
General BoyntOn Commands a Bri-

Chattanooga. Tenn. July u.-Every
effort is being made to get the first army
corps ready to move. 1t is the intention
of the War Department to move this
corps. as quickly as possible. Assistant
Adjutant General Sheridan has issued
orders that the Second Brigade of Gen.
Haines, and the First Ohio Cavalry
shall be ready to move out Tuesday. The
First Ohio Cavalry will depart tomor-
row. morning. loading at Ringgold. 1t is
believed that they will go to Tampa in
stead of Charleston. This has not been
settled. Yesterday afternoon the regi-
ment received their last equipment, con-
tained in twelve boxes of supplies, is
sued by Capt. Rockwell.
All supplies for the Camp Thomas
army are now coming by fast express
and NOT by freight as heretofore. This
indicates that there is a rush to get sup
plies here. ,.
The amount of underclothing recently
received is sufficient to supply an army Of
10000 men. 'rr.s -, ~,
Among the supplies issued yesterday
were 10000 pairs of shoes. 5000 blouses,
