ing. as before that time. many persons
wearied by the remarks Of the previous
speaker, had left the hall. At no time
was the hall more than wen filled, and by
the close OF the programme most OF those
present were perfectly willing TO adjourn.
The principal feature of the occasion
was the entire lack Of enthusiasm. as the
applause was slight as compared TO the
size Of the crowd. and no cheering was In
dulged in at any time. Before Mr. Vance
delivered himself Of his remarks Mrs
Jennie HouRhton Edmunds sang a cam
paign song which had a printed chorus,
distributed throughout the hall but few
persons Joined In the refrain, although in
ytted to do so. The members of the pub

THE RURAL DELIVERY.

Rural free mail delivery is an innova.

strides and unquestionably accomplish.
ing very great good. 1t brings into
closer association peoples and commun-
tiles; it is an educational influence Of
unmeasured power; it stimulates cores.
pondence. brings the daily paper with.
the market reports and other valuable
information to the farmers door fresh
from the press and in countless other
ways performs its enlightenlng mission.
In his estimate for the forthcoming
fiscal year the postmaster general sets
aside the sum Of s., 500, 900 for the ex-
tension and maintenance of the system.
While it is essentially q losing venture
it is nevertheless q convenience of very
broad scope and folly justified in most
cases by the circumstances of it's crea-
tion. The year about to close has
brought nearly 1900 rural routes, and
plans now formulated contemplate the
establishment of about 4 500 more dur
ing the next year. Increased stamp
sales are an incident of no little impor.
tance observable IN connection with the
service and their rapid augmentation is
not matter Of any doubt whatever.
Farm life is popularized by the scheme,
and that circumstance alone, by keep
ing the boys away from the cities, is
worth considerable portion of what
the innovation costs.

ont 1t is claimed the now famous

constitution requires that an amend

Of both houses twill, be remembered
that the prohibitory amendment was
decided to Be unconstitutional because
the same had not been fully and cor.
rectly recorded in the journals of the
two houses. The constitutional pro.
vision says, ''Such proposed amend.

THE PROHIBITION. VOTE.

Full returns of the November election
from all the states give Mckinley ,23s,.
5l4 votes, and Bryan $3.50, ,796; McKin-
ley's plurality, s77,7ls. In 1896 McKin-
ley received 7,lO7,3M votes and Bryan
6,533 ,0S0; McKinley's plurality, 574, ,224.
McKinley's vote was larger by l3l, ,2lO
than four years ago. Bryan's not as
large by l72,2s4, and McKinley's plu-
rality was larger by S03, ,494.
The prohibition vote has been report
ed officially from thirty states, includ-
ing Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, but
emitting New York. In the thirty
states Wooley, prohibition candidate
for president, received l57,89O votes.
Bidwell received 264 ,562 votes in 1892;
Fisk, 2l9, 1897 in 1888, and eyering and
Bentley, l44 1858 in 1896.
There was falling of in the prohibi.
ton vote in Connecticut as compared
with 1892, a gain in Florida and Geor,
eia, loss Of Z 900 in Illinois, gain Of
$50 in Indiana. gain in Iowa and Kan.
sas, loss in Maryland, Massachusetts
and Michigan, a loss of 5000 in Ohio
gain Of 1900 in Pennsylvania, and 9
loss of 900 in Wisconsin.
Altogether Mr.. Wooley will be disap
| pointed in the claim that he received 8
half million votes. But he is justified
| in claiming large increase over the
prohibition vote of 1896. The full re
turns from all the states will be awaited
with interest.

CANAL COMMISSIONS REPORT

The report of the commission appoint
ed to examine into tie feasibility of sew
eral routes for proposed canal across
Central America, between the Atlantic
and Pacific, has been laid before congress
by the president, and indicates an ex-
ha ustive discharge Of the duties requir-
ed of the commissioners.
The most important feature of the re-
port is that showing the superior ad van.
|tages Of the Nicarsguan over the Pana,.
ma route. IS
Although q canal along the latter can
be completed, according to the estimates
made, for s5S, ,OOO. 900 less than the form
er, the difference in cost is discounted
by numerous disadv dvantages attaching to
the Panama route.
A comparison of routes, as present.
ed IN the report, shows that distances
between Atlantic and Pacific ports are
shorter by the Nicaraguan that by the
Panama route. This is in part Offset
by the increased time in getting through
the Nicaragua canal. The latter route
is more favorable for sailing vessels. It
is also regarded as more advantageous
on account of its development of the
country through which it passes.
The Panama concession, now held by a
French company, prohibits a cession Of
any rights to any nation or foreign gov.
ernment. Being limited to ninety-nine
years, if the United States should &C.
quire the cession, it would have to turn
over the canal to the Colombian govern
ment at the end of that period. There
Icould, therefore, be no absolute owner
ship on the part Of this government.
Beside, the Nicaragua route is healthful
and holds ont inducements to settlers,
while the other is extremely miasmatic
and devoid of agricultural or mineral
resources. "a
4 While the commission estimates the
cost Of the Panama canal as much
cheaper than the Nicaragua, it says, in
concluding its comparison of routes
"Even if the new Panama Canal com.
pany be able and willing to sell there il
reason to believe that the price would moi
be such as would make the total cost te
the United States less than that of the
Nicaragua canal"
4 The commissioners estimate that the
total cost Of the Nicarauga canal will b,
500, $40, 600, and the time to be occu
pied by its construction at ten years.
Il The enormity and cost of this under
taking would seem to make it Of tn
utmost essentiality that it should b.
/ absolutely owned in perpetuity ant
controlled by the government that fur
Inishes the money, labor and skill t,
build it. Yet the republican party i
