Canal Needed At Once.

The United States should not wait
another year for the report of the
Walker canal commission, which was
authorized to look at all proposed sites
for the isthmian canal, as a report can
not be completed for many months, the
commission being engaged in giving a
technical study to the whole matter.
This commission was authorized at the
request Of the opponents of a canal and
sent out merely to secure delay. Since
it was created events have happened
which call for the canal at the earliest
possible moment as a means of naviga-
ton between the EASTERN portions of the
country and the new possessions of the
United States in the Pacific ocean,
while the need Of 1t for commerce be
tween the two coasts Of this continen.
is more urgent than ever The United
States should fear no undertaking that
is called for by her commercial inter
ests, and the lobby of the California
railway octopus should be unavailing to
hinder the carrying u of the canal
enterprise, which will relieve the PEG.

Land Monopoly Not Desirable.

The arid land question is being pushed
to the front by the element that seeks
to have the government domain coded
to the various states and territories,
and the example Of Texas, which re-
tanned her lands when admitted to the
Union, Is cited. There the lands have
been leased and an enormous public
school fund built up. But it happens
that in much Of the country leased there
are now 10 inhabitants to receive the
benefit of the schools, because the leas-
ing law has prevented settlement, and
In other instances driven away people
who were there. New Mexico has not
a few residents who came to the terri
tory because the land in western and
southwestern Texas was grabbed by big
cattle corporations, which fenced the
range and compelled stock owners who
could not spend large sums for fencing
to leave the country. Neither through
cesslon of the lands to the territory and
subsequent monopoly, b through a
national leasing law do the people want
the ranges fenced, the population de-
creased and great stretches Of lands

The Denver Republican

The Denver Republican advocates
cession Of the public domain to the va
rfous states, so that they may put an
end to wrangling between the sheep and
cattle interests by leasing the lands to
the big cattle corporations which can
AFFORD to lease and fence them. This
would certainly be settling the ques-
ton with a vengeance, but it might also
settle the sheep and the small
owners Of cattle, give large corporations
practical ownership Of the lands, and
mako 1t easier for the cattle trust to
control the meat supply of the country.
II would likewise destroy the wool in
dustry Of the west, and be a good thing
for the wool growers of other lands. II
cession Of the lands to states would re-
pult a. the Republican thinks, then the
sountry should let the people continue
TO compete In using the public domain.

Southern Rriuadiers.

President McKinley's determination
to appoint as brigadier generals in the
regular army General Fitzhugh Lee and
General Wheeler will be approved by
the liberal people of the country, who
believe in accepting the recent demon
stration by the southern people of in
terest in the perpetuation of the United
States and an extension of it's power.
These two generals have individually
earned the honor and the emoluments
they will enjoy in their early retirement,
and are also to be rewarded as types Of
the southerners who have buried mem
cries of former imaginary grievances
and offered their devotion NEW to their
country. The appointments will be an
evidence that the country is willing to
forget and forgive, and to offer in the
future the same honors to all citizens
who are ready to uphold the greatne So
of their native land, and who do so as
sincerely as these two soldiers have
done in the past year..

The government has decided that the
Spanish style of spelling Puerto Rico
shall be followed by the various de-
partments. The people and the press
have generally dropped what, from an
English point Of view was considered
Indirect photography, and it will be diff
hcult to induce the use of letters in the
Spanish way of spelling, unless the
American schools teach the proper pro-
nunciation Of the name, in which the
two vowels play a part. The American
people are not generally disposed to
learn new tricks in pronunciation, AMI
the tendency Is to change the Spanish
photography to conform to the sounds
that come trippingly from the national
tongue.
