Mac inside Mnter Route south.

(From the Savannah Morning Ncws.)
The opening OF the Dismal Swamp Canal
a few days ago was d matter OF interes.
TO those who have been watching the de-
yoIopment of the inside water route and
know the value OF such a highway between
the Northern and Southern coast sections
The Dismal Swamp Canal is an important
link in the chain OF rivers, sounds, creeks
and canals forming the inside route. and
with its completion there remains only q
few miles more of work TO be done to af-
ford small craft a perfectly sheltered water
route all the way from New York to the
Florida capes.
The Dismal swamp Canal was originally
surveyed by George Washington, but for
near on to hundred years it had been In
disuse 1t is ltwanty miles long, eH
tending from near Norfolk TO the PasquO-
tank River in North Carolina. II has a
depth of water of ten feet and is eighty
feet wide. That it is practicable for crais
of fair tonnage was demonstrated on thl
day of the opening, when the torpedo boat

vessels passed through it, BY means of thl
canal vessels of light draft-and many OF
the coasters are of ten feet or less draught
are enabled 10 avoid the extremely dan
gerous Diamond Shoals off Cape Hatteras.
To complete the inside route there are
needed a few miles of canal to connect wa
tiers from Wilmington. n. c.. to George
town, S. C. With that finished, light YES
sells could leave New York and steam all
the way to the Florida capes in proteeted
water.
In the event of war this inland system
would be an invaluable adjunct to the de,
fence of the coast cities. But il is no.
alone as war adjunct that the inside rout-

There is, indeed, need for the widening an
deepening of the channel in order that tn

Some people seem to be unable 10
understand why it is that the price
of meats of all kinds is so high nd
still advancing. But a little reflect
ION on the general condition of the
country will make it plain. There
is more work to, domore wages are be
ing paid to the laboring men, and OF
necessity they must have o
strength giving food and being able
to pay for it do not hesitate to buy
what they need, hence the vastly
greater consumption of all kinds of
meats. The demand being greater
than the supply, the price goes up
as in all such cases. The result of
this increase in price is that the far
mers are nov getting back the pro-
fits that will in a measure make up
for the losses they sustained during
the calamitous times following the
election of Cleveland. The farmers
are able to see the results of the
change to the present conditions,
hence they are not joining the pop
ocrats procession this year.-Clarinda

way home from a visit abroad in
which he was accorded an audience
with Pope Leo of Rome, was inter
viewed by an enterprising reporter

pressed himself very emphatically
on the subject of American retention
of the Philippines and the continue
nee of war against the followers of
Aguinaldo. The Bishops words
speaks very plainly for themselves:
81 am of the opinion that the war
should be prosecuted vigorously and
the Filipinos brought to time" said
the bishop Aguinaldo's men fired
the first shot and they mnst take the
consequences Of their action. 1t
seems to me that the government of
the United States is in duty bound
to bring them iato submission and to
a proper realization and appreaciat-
ion of things"
In regarc to South Dakota in gen
eral and his diocese in particular
Bishop ONGorman said: "There are
marked evidence of prosperity all
through our state. The people are
feeling good over the prospects.
Since | came to South Dakota | have
noticed a large progress in church
work. We are quite encouraged.
