~ OR AT LEAST a quarter of a
century Il large majority Of
a the people of the United
States have wanted A trans
isthmian canal to facilitate travel be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boards and between the remoter shores
~ those great commerce bearing
oceans, For a least quarter of a
century they have been willing that
their government should build such a
connecting waterway at their expense
and while wanting the work done
economically they have not haggled
over the cost During the whole of
this -time the attitude OF both of the
leading political parties by which the
government is carried on has been as
sertively favorable to the canals con-
etruetion. Platform after platform
has demanded II, Candidate after cam
didate has indorsed It. President after
president has recommended 1t to con-
gress. Yet every time that a move
has been made, it has somehow been
blocked. Our political history shows
no case VI puDlt sentiment
being so continuously and emphatically
one way while the trend of manpua-
tion has been SO long successful in
the opposite direction.
Now by way Of climax comes the re-
port from New York, credited by "Hol-
landE one Of the most trustworthy
OF New York correspondents that the
latest superhuous canal commission
the second or third since the subject
arose-which was created by the las
congress manifestly for purposes Of de-
lay, ahas decided to recommend the
abandonment of the Nicaragua canal
project, and the purchase by the
United States OF the plant, concessions

We are sorry that Colonel Hitch

deharred from submitting his cand-

be equally sorry To sec him, at his

plot he could not reasonably hope for

simply contribute aid and comfort to

this decision are not blameable upon
