THE TTLLABLF CORNERS.

Somehow there Is charm in con
templating the righteousness OF nature
in return for the cultivation Of the soil
q And this charm has breathed upon u
more pleasantly this sultry June da,
as we have just read a short article il
the Saturday Evening Post on "Sn1al]
Farming as Refuge frcm Poverty
The statement is made that outside
the cities there are only few
persons to every acre of land in Arneri-
ca and allowing that one fourth of the
land is not til'able, the remaining acres
could keep busy many more people
than there are in the United States.
There is no question about the fact
that the people of this country do not
properly appreciate the presence OF
land plenty" Too often does one
hear the remark that there is not room |
enough for the poor to labor, when at
the very door of the grumtier there is

Apparently the countr. is to be bur
dened with another expensive commits
sion to examine the question OF a canal
across some portion of Central Amer
lea. Thanks TO the determination Of
the senate 10 enact some sort OF a
measure providing for the construction
OF the Nicaragua canal and to the
equally obstinate determination or
certain influential Republican members
Of the house, including Speaker Reed.
10 do nothing of the kind. the prospects
now are for a compromise measure. di-
recting the president to reopen the
whole subject and learn over again
what he already knows, namely, which
Of the projected waterways Is the most
feasible.
Rather than have no action at all up
on the canal matter 1t may be thought
to be as we'll to have this compromise
affair, but it looks. on first blush. as
II the Vaccinations OF the railroads had
been successful. and the supporters of
the Nicaraguan proposition dropped
into the cold sea of procrastination.
What possible good, otherwise than to
throw still further advantage into the
hands OF the opponents OF the canal,
can result from this new movement Is
not apparent Postponement of the de-
cision in the matter. and the confusion
Of the congressional mind between the
relative merits OF the Panama and the
san Juan river routes is exactly the
end which the railroads have sought.
The final conclusion of the matter, OF
course, canno, be affected even by this
delay. The people of the United States,
after a most thorough canvass OF the
project, the canvass lasting through
nearly two generations, ave decided
that the Nicaragua canal must be built
They will force that event, IL IT requires
half a dozen sessions of congress
Neither railroads. nor anti-expansion,
nor Tom Reed nor any other influence
can serve to prevent them. The canal
is indispensable. 1t is a part OF the
future of this country.

Is unprecedented. as 1t certainly is am
pie apology for the attractions of neu-
trality and good faith which have been
charged to Germany hitherto. Consid-
ering that jealousy OF her commercial.
and personal welfare is one Of the most
pronounced characteristics of the en-
pire Of William H.. 1t must be felt that
this entrusting of that welfare TO the
ch.vaIry and honor Of the United States
Is not made without a sacrifice. Ger

Special Commissioner Porter spoke
very truly in his interview in London
when he stated that there are almost
more reasons for amity in ne relations
OF the United States and Germany than
in those Of the United States and Great
Britain. German stock has a far more
active and immediate participation In
the blood of the Americans than has the
British. The latter Is an inheritance;
the German is fusion. The Germans
