Nobody Wants the Canal.

Bids for the sale of the Chesapeake
& Ono canal were opened at Annap-
oils Tuesday by Governor Lowndes
There was but one bid, that of Mr. c..
X. Lord, president of the Cousoliia-
ton Coal Company, who offered $780,
900 cash, filing with his bid bond
guaranteeing to keep the canal open
as waterway for twenty years. After
An executive session lasting some time
the board decided to reject the bid.
The Governor. Treasurer and Comp
troller, constituting the board, still
have the power to sell the canal at
priv tie sale. The Consolidation Coal
Company Is largely controlled by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Mr. c..
K. Lord, president ofthe coal company,
was formerly third vice-preslient of
the railroad. When Mr.. c. F Mayer
was president Of the Baltimore and
Ohio he was at the same time presi-
dent of the Consolidation Company
Mr.. Lords bid was regarded, there
fore, as an indirect bid ofthe Baltimore
and OHIO 1t was great surprise that
more bids were not offered. The ex-
pectation was that the West Virginia
Central and northern syndicate
would offer to buv the canal

to learn Of a single case having
resulted in pneumonia, which shows
conclusively that this remedy is GER
tain preventive of that dangerous dis
ease. 1t will cure la grippe in less

want us to pay something like forty
millions of dollars to the insurgent
soldiers who did the fighting against
Spain during the long-drawn-out re-
bellion, though Philadelphia law

States was responsible for either the
beginning or the continuance of that
"war" of the bushwhackers. The
United States has spent quite enough
on the war with Spain. The Cubans
are not entitled to one cent more.
