If an isthmian canal were in op-T:l- tion now and q proposition were t. be made 10 close it for q year or two, there would be an outcrY of alarm and indignation from all the mariners. shippers and importers of the world. The closing of the canal, it would be said. Was not to he thought of It would be e @etback to civilization. the severing of absolutely necessary facil- ities of communication among the 1a tions. The talk of doing without q waterway via the isthmus would he like talking cf dispensing with the submarine cable, the telephone. or :he electric light.
 Every years delay in the construc- ticn O: the canal deprives this nation and the world of benefits which. when once secured. would never be relin- quished. Past delays have been toler- ated only because the benefits of the canal have not been felt in a practical way.
 This is a thought which the gentle men who are now puttering ever the canal question in the senate would do well to keep in mind. Their reasons fer great deliDeration may seem i'm p1rtant, but their delay is withholding inestimabe benefits from civilization Chicago News.
