And wher Gods hand dispels the gloom

THE PANAMA CANAL SCHEME.

NANAMA has applied for annexation to the
~ United States and the application has been de-
MED. The reports from Washington. which
deal but briefly with the negotiations considering
their importance state that while Panama for some
time past has endeavored to maintain an indepen-
dence, no Government has recognized her as a nation
She continues in the eyes OF diplomacy be one Of
the United States OF Colombia, and it was to avoid
endangering friendly relations with that republic
that our Government declined to consider the pro-
posed annexation
1t is probable the movement for annexation on the
part OF Panama is part OF the plan devised by the
Panama Canal Company TO induce the United States
TO back up that enterprise and abandon the plan for
constructing a canal at Nicaragua Ii by any means
the territory OF Panama could be brought under the
control OF the United States and flag be raised
there the victory OF the Panama canal over the
Nicaragua canal would be virtually won A waterway
through country completely under our control
would be so much more advantageous than one
across the country independent OF us that Congress
would hardly hesitate in making choice between
them.
Abundant evidences exist TO show that the pro-
meters OF the Panama project are making earnest ef
forts have their enterprise taken up by the United
States Some OF the most influential papers in the
East have given expressions to opinions more favor
able to Panama than to Nicaragua and have backed
them by arguments OF no little force
The Baltimore American. after pointing out that
reither OF the rival companies claiming Nicaragua
concessions has done anything to construct canal
by that route recently said: The Panama canal is
built more than third OF the way There is no OBJ
stace 10 the construction OF at any point along the
route and it is in the hands OF perfectly safe and
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-11-18

economical company which is pushing the work as
rapidly as IS consistent with substantial construction
The marked difference between the Panama and the
proposed Nicaragua route, the Consul says is that
the Panama canal, when completed. will have two
splendid natural harbors one at each end while the
Nicaragua canal, il built, will not have harbor at
either end and these will have to be built at enormous
cost and maintained at a similar cost"
The Philadelphia Record takes similar view of
the subject and not long ago declared: 1T has been
our opinion subject, of course to change If an i'm
partial and thorough examination shows its weak
ness, that for ship canal purposes the Panama route
was to be preferred to the Nicaragua route. II the
trade between California and the Atlantic seaboard
was alone TO be considered then Nicaragua might be
better location because it is nearer 10 our frontier
but when the general trade OF North and South
America and Australia is taken into account it seems
TO US that Panama, as a oonverging and diverging
point, is to be preferred"
These are but illustrations OF the expressions which
are now common in the Eastern press Public SEN
timent continues TO be Overwhelmingly in favor OF an
isthmian canal but the term is no longer used as
synonymous with Nicaragua canal. The Panama en-
terprise has found many supporters in this country
and may yet prove TO be the successful one.

SANDING MARKET STREET.

G OMETHING must be done TO protect horses
: from the dangers OF traffic on the bituminous
paved streets when rendered slippery by mois-
ture. The hremen have represented TO the Super
visors the difficulties which confront the department
in fastening 10 fires such streets the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty TO Animals has protested
against the sprlnklng OF biturnen pavements and
members OF the Driving Association, draymen and
teamsters OF all have long been aware OF the
urgent need for the application Of an effective remedy
for the evil.
San Francisco is not the only city that has suffered
in this way. Wherever bituminous pavements have
been laid II has been noted that when they become
wet with rain or moist with fogs or heavy dews
they become so slippery as to be menace to every
team passing over them. The remedy which has met
with most favor is that OF sprnklng the streets with
sand at night or in the early morning and leaving
the sand upon the streets long as remains moist
That remedy works double benefit for it not only
affords gritty surface giving good foothold TO
horses while is the streets but when swept away
II carries with the dirt and grease which accumulate
on the pavements and leaves them cleaner than they
would be otherwise
At meeting OF committee OF the Supervisor,
yesterday Supervisor Aigetnger introduced resou-
ton providing Tor sprinking Market street with sand
and the matter referred TO a meeting OF the full
oool- oI -'4Oludg ne IcSOlutlOn brings the
directly before the people as question OF practical
Improvement 1t should therefore engage the atten-
ton and have the support OF all who have any con-
Germ in the welfare OF teams passing along the street
whether for business or for pleasure
The experiment will not be costly San Francisco
has an abundance OF sand within reach The material
will virtually cost nothing. Nor will it entail any
considerable expenditure to have it carted and
sprinked along the street That the results will be
beneficial is sure for the experience OF other cities
has been invariably OF that nature
Our rainy season has now begun, and for months
to come Market street will be wet and slippery 70
some extent almost every day. Unless something be
done to prevent, there will be daily recurrence OF
slipping and falling horses with attendant danger OF
accidents TO persons we'll 70 the horses them,
selves II therefore behooves all who are interested
70 urge the Supervisors 70 take immediate action
upon the resolution when it comes before them There
should be strong representation OF citizens at the
meeting on Monday to advocate the reform Every
day OF delay further menace OF serious acct
dents, and after the experience OF the past our horse
men and teamstcrs hardly need more TO convince
them OF the necessity for providing a sure and safe
footing for horses along thoroughfare 50 crowded
as Market street
