rHE NICARAGUA CANAL RlLLs.

Both republicans and democrats agree in decar-
ing that the Nicaragua canal proposition is non
partisan question.
While the transcontinental railroads supposed
to be opposed to it, and the Panama schemers at
work, the time for the passage of bill has come.
The demand of the people of the United States for
the passage effective Nicaragua canal bill is
unanimous and so urgent that no opposition that can
be mustered can have the slightest practical effect
That the republicans, who have a large majority in
both houses sincere in their support of the project
is shown by the fact that Senator Morgan Of Alabama
has been loft at the head of the committee and by the
house having agreed TO make the Nicaragua canal
bills special order for Tuesday January T. the next
day which it will be in session. and TO continue TO
consider it special order until disposed Of reve-
nue. and appropriation bills alon excepted.
There are two Nicaragua canal bills which will
come up for consideration. The Hepburn bill has been
reported from the house committee on commerce and
the Morgan bill from the interoceanc canal commit
OF the senate. The two bills are much alike Both
accept the Nicaragua route Both authorize the pres-
conclude the necessary treaties with Nlcara-
qua and Costa Rica. Both name SlSO0O000O as a
maximum for the cost of construction The differ
in the two bills that the Hepburn bill appro.
pirates 100000 600 a beginning, while the Morgan
bill provides for an initial appropriation OF only
$5000O00 the Hepburn bill gives the control and di,
rection of the work entirely to the president and the
secretary OF war while the Morgan bin provides for
board, of which the secretary of is be presl
dent to be composed of eight citizens be appointed
by the president; the Hepburn bill provides for such
measures Of defense at either end of the canal as
may necessary, the Morgan bill contains no
such provision.
Whichever bill is adopted. or however the bin is
amended the country is to be congratulated that the
Nicaragua canal is to be dug that the greatest public
work conceived for the of the commerce
OF the United States is to be begun
