THE BIG SHIP cANAL.

The New York sun and some other
newspapers suffer violent paroxysms
hysteria every tine they think Of
the Nicaraguan canal They insist
that the United States must build it
and fortify It as an engine Of war. To
fortify the canal effectively would re-
Quire more money than to construct
an effective feet for each end Of the
canal; and the fleets would be more
effective because they could be employ
ed extensively as well as defensively.
The Philadelphia Inquirer has the
following sensible editorial on the sub
ject:
There are two methods of dealing
with this canal We might. indeed.
make il a thoroughly American insti-
tuition. We might snap our fingers a;
all the powers Of the earth and serve
notice that we intend to make that ca.
nal a waterway for the exclusive use
OF our own people We might say ID
England and the other nations thal
this canal is designed especially for
our warships in order that our coast
may be protected and that we can have
quick communication between them.
tnat we shall use the canal TO build ur
our commercial interests, but no YES.
sci other than one flying the American
nag can be allowed to make use of in
The other method is to consider the
canal great business enterprise n
open It to the commerce Of the world
and treat all nations alike.
It is this second proposition thal
has appealed to the administration a.
Washington, and that has been adopt
ed by that administration. Under I
we shall build the canal and absolute
ly own it. We shall fix tolls. and II
the end we shall enjoy a large reve

TO insist upon fortifying. As a neutra

The Baldwin Locomotive Works can
sell locomotives in all parts Of the
world at a less price than their Euro
pean competitors, while paying much
higher wages. simply because they have
adopted labor saving machines in every
department; yet they employ many
more workers, than any other locomo-
tive concern in the world, and more
than they ever before employed them
selves. The same principle applies tc
the bridge builders and TO other manu-
facturers. Il is not strange, in view OF
these explanations, that labor saving
machines actually increase the demand
for labor; but it is curious that in
spite of these convincing facts there
is an ingrained opposition to labor saw.

The decision of the New York Fres-
bytery not TO try Rev. Dr. Arthur
|C. McGiffert for heresy is welcome to
all save n small minority Of Presby-
terians. 1t Is not that the majority
believe McGiffert orthodox, or agree
with his opinions measurably, but that
the Briggs trial and its results have
wearied them Of warfare and made
them willing rather to bear the heretics
they have than make many Others that
they need not have-as Hamlet might

sumably assume charge of the diocese

While the fact that Father Keile,

among Protestants as we'll as Catho.
