THE NICARAGUA CANAL

From the Talladega Mountain Home.
 The early building of the Nicaragua canal is now sought by many sections of the country. The report of Senator Nor gan. accompanying the canal bill, is a document widening the highest qualities of the philosophic statesman, and should be read by every one interested in the com merce and national defence of the country. The necessity of the canal is no longer de- bated in congress, or questioned by the people. The building of the Suez canal made corresponding American isthmian canal importive to complete the commer- cial geography of the world.
 Senator Morgan shows that the canal is indispensable for the naval and military defence of the country whether insular or constitutional, and points out how the canal will prove bond of peace security for the marftime powers of the world He demonstrates that the income of the ca nal, once complete will reimburse the cost of construction within thirty years With the canal open, we can guard our interests and practically double dur sea power with out building another ship. Without the canal, in view of our Pacific coast and Oriental interests, our Pacific fleet should equal our Atlantic fleet. The cost and maintenance of this would greatly exceed the cost of the canal. It's construction and completion by the government is clearly then a measure of economy as we'll as one of defence
 Of all the states in the union no other is promised so much benefit as Alabama, because of her diversified products, and be- cause of her nearness to the eastern ter minus of the canal. The interest of every patriotic Alaibamian should be aroused to the importance of this great work. While the Nicaragua question is before the sen ate no one is competent to fill Senator Nor gan's place. Public interests, state pride and gratitude to an ever faithful, wise and competent public servant should be incent- lves to every true Alabamian to see that Senator Morgan is retained in the senate until the completion of the canal-and all pray that he may live to witness its com pleuon-a monument to his far-reaching sta teSmanShip.

Congressman Towards Candidacy.

When reduced to cold fact by analysis the candidacy of ex-Congressman M. w. Howard is an attempt to umpire the sena- torial game. He has mo expectations of securing a majority of the legislature, but he does expect to secure handful of SUD- porters who will, as he thinks, be a bal ance of power, thus enabling him as their boss and political chief to determine the result.
 This is pretty programme, but it is one sentative government, and wholly inside. the principles of government by cliates and deals, which the selection of United States senators by legislative votes is in- tended to promote, and thoroughly does promote in every state in the .union What ever ex-Congressman Howard's handful &C., complisChes must necessarily be in violation of the representative principle, for it must be done secretly, behind closed doors, at Montgomery. and the people will not only not be consulted but they will be abso- lutely forgotten and ignored In such a deal the politicians will shine, and the people win be known by their absence in any form.
 Logically there should be in the state but two candidates-a democratic and a populist candidate. The republicans ''cut mo ice" in the canvass. The white people can reduce the canvass to it's proper oro- portions, thus avoiding all deals, and all balance of power, all dickers. By giving the grand old champion of the Nicaragua canal, in which this state is deeply inter- ested on account of her variety of heavy products-by giving him the full democratic strength, MT. Towards amiable pro- gramme will be rendered impossible, and the will of the people will have sway next November in Montgomery, instead of the will Of dickermg politicians, who care very little what the people think or desire.
