MORGAN ON NloARAeuA RorrE.

Senator Morgan of Alabama is the
most persistent champion of the Nicara-
guam canal and it is due him to say
that perhaps no man in congress is bet
ter equipped than he to set forth the
claims of that route. He has been
studying and dwelling on it for years
and in consequence he appears now to
be unable to see any good or advantage
in another direction, eve though
pointed out with clearness and precision
by some of the ablest engineers in the
country. This was shown in his speech
on the subject Thursday, when he ex-
pressed doubt as to the feasibility and
practicability Of the Panama canal, not
withstanding the fact that the Isthmian
Canal commission unqualiiedly pro-
nounced the Panama route feasible and
practicable and stated that the canal
could be completed for many millions
less money than the Nicaragua canal
would cost. 1t is curious that the COM
mission appears to have overlooked a
danger which the Alabama senator has
ulSCONtItu, luul Ont VI nlOIC uuLho Oh
the Panama cute might fail. with the
result OF heavy loss to the United
States. The fact that the engineers
who made the investigation did not sug-
gest this danger will cause many to
question whether there is any sound
reason for the fear which Mr.. Morgan
entertains. At all events we suppose
that some chances would have to be
taken in constructing a canal at Panama
as well as on the Nicaraguan route.
Mr.. Morgan seems to still think that
the government cannot secure a good
title to the Panama route, notwith-
standing the judicial authority given to
the French company to sell its prop
erty and the proposition OF the Colon
bian government I'm regard to conces
sions. It would be difficult to say what
more can be desired to enable the
United States TO secure a good title to
the property Of the Pan5ma Canal COM
pany. Mr.. Morgan appears also to be
in error in asserting that the canal
commission had no authority TO accept
an offer of the Panama company, but
even II 1t be granted that in this matter
he is correct, the matter is not ma
teriaL The acceptance OF the offer by
the commission had no binding force
and IL was just al well TO get the oner
before congres in that way as by any
other. The government was in no sense
committed thereby.

UNCLE SAM AS A FARMER.
A Glimpse of Last Years Business
with Other Lands.

WIN OtheF banOs.
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Uncle Sam can well afford to sit on his
farm fence and white and let nature do
the rest II his agricultural enterprises turn
out as we'll in the future as they did in
the year 1901, for which he has Just struck
a balance in the Agricultural department,
where he keeps his accounts roughly
chalked up. They show that he sold to
other nations during the fiscal year the
largest bills OF goods in any one year since
he started the ranch, to say nothing of the
family consumption, which for $4,000 900
odd at table is no small matter, where
the very best In quality, and without stint
ing quantity, is always freely supplied.
Indeed, the facts are freely commented
upon in less favored households of nations
that the Yankee people do not know what
domestic economy means, and that they
waste more Of the necessities of life in
any one year than would supply in luxury
the table OF their English or French or
German cousins.
In spite of waste and luxurious home
living, the United States managed to sell
abroad farm products to the value of $685.
900, 900, an increase of over 500, O00, 900 OF
the exports for 1900. OF course, there was

staple products which Uncle Sam does
not raise with profit, but which the family
has a taste for. They cost only the trihing
total, however, of 1892, 600, 900, which was
$28, 900, 900 less than the same goods cost
in the year 1900. II leaves the healthy and
gratifying surplus Of $3.50, 900, 900. a very
comfortable margin of profit for the horny
handed cUltlvator of the soil. The account
does not include the figures of our trade
with Hawaii and Porto Rico, and that for
the year 1900 did. Since then the junction
of these outlying islands to the home farm
would properly leave them out Of any
calculation OF what our debit and credit
trade was with foreign consumers, but the
business cuts a small figure anyway, as in
the year 1900 our sales to these islands
amounted to only about $24, 900, 900, while
we purchased from them a beggarly IS, 000,>
900. Cotton, for the first time in several
years. took the lead in our exports, followed
as a close second by breadstuffs, and third
in order by meat products. The chief items
imported and which make up 1858 600, 900
of the total value of 1892, 900. 900 were
sugar, coffee, hides. skins. silk, hbers
vegetable and woolen), tea, fruit, nuts,
cocoa, vegetable oils, vegetables and spices,
wines and spirits and seeds.
The result shows Uncle Sam to be a
pretty good farmer, even II his family is a
trihe wasteful and e~xtravagant.

THE wAsHERwOMAN.

Eugene Ware ("Ironquill').
In a very humble cot,
In a rather quiet spot,
In the suds and in the soap,
Worked a woman, full of hope;
Working, singing, all. alone,
In a sort of undertone:
with the Savior for a friend,
He will keep me to the end"
Sometimes happening along,
l heard the semi-song,
And often used to smile,
More in sympathy than guile;
But / never said a word
In regard to what j heard,
AS she sang about her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow nor in CLEO
Working all day long was she,
AS her children, three or four,
Played around her on the floor;
But in monotones the song
She was humming all day long:
with the Savior for a friend,
He will keep me to the end"
It's a song / do not sing,
For / scarce believe a thing
OF the miracles of old;
But L know that her belief
Is the anodyne of grief,
And will always be a friend
That will keep her TO the end.
Just a trifle lonesome she,
Just as poor as poor could be;
But her spirits always rose,
Like the bubbles in the clothes,
. And though widowed and alone,
Cheered her with the monotone,
OF a Savior and a friend
Who would keep her to the end.
/ have seen her rub and scrub,
On a washboard in the tub,
While the baby, sopped in suds,
Rolled and tumbled In the buds;
Or was padding in the pools,
With old scissors stuck in spools;
She still humming of her friend
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root on human needs;
And l should not wish to strip
From that washerwoman's lip
Any song that she can sing,
Any hope that songs can bring;
For the woman has a friend
Who will keep her to the end.

Victor Emmanuel is said to be cumulative

more than to wander about the streets and
countryside, mixing among his people,
hearing good things of himself and the
opposite. AS Italy is supposed to be the
hotbed Of anarchy, the police are COM
manded to keep a particularly close watch
on their sovereign, so that no harm may
befall him. But not a week passes that
he does not elude them and get away by
himself. By this means he is continually
having adventures which are rarely the lot
of monarchs and at the same time he gets
closer to his people, more in touch with
their likes and dislikes, than is usually the
case with one in his position.
