COST OF THE CANAL.

The people ought not to be misled
as to the cost of an isthmian canal
connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans. We have several times sug-
gested that in all probability the cost
will be a great deal more than the
amount mentioned by the Isthmian
Canal Commission in its final report.
That amount is $3.50, 100000
We see it stated in Washington dis
patch that senators and representa-
tives now openly admit that a canal
on the Nicaraguan route cannot be
built for any such an amount as that.
They say that the United States will
be fortunate if the amount does not
exceed $500, ,OOO
Has not the commission dealt hon
estly with the government and the
people? Is il to be understood that it
reported an estimate much below what
1t believed to be a fair one, simply to
induce Congress to authorize the be-
ginning of the work. In other words,
that the estimate is not an honest one?
1t seems to us that this is doing the
commission an injustice. 1t ought to be
able to give an estimate close to what
the actual cost will be. In one OF the
dispatches it is stated that George S.
Morrison a member of the commits
sion, and one of the most expert en-
gineers in the world, is of the opinion
that it may even require $1,000, 600, 900
to build canal along the Nicaragua
route.
Congress ought to ask Mr.. Morrison
what he means by saying that the
cost may be $1,000, 100000 when he is
on record in the commissions report
as saying that a fair estimate of the
cost is S1ss. OOOo 900. If the cost is likely
to be FIVE times greater than the COM
/ missions estimate the people might
/ hesitate about building the canal. II
would be the hight Of folly to begin
| the work and then abandon Il on ae-
! count OF the cost. And It would be
wrong TO lead the people to authorize
/ the beginning OF the work under the
belief that the cost would be less than
/ s2o0. 100000 when II was known that II
would cost FIVE times that amount. Ma
doubt the question Of cost will DE gone
INTO pretty thoroughly before canal
bill Is passed.

are VIGOROUSLY Indifferent to details,
and Mr.. Campanari, the baritone, is
scarcely an exception as this little ex-
pereince of his would seem to show.
He was engaged to sing at Madison.
But you are not to stop at the hotel,
but at a private house." he was told.
Two other musicians were engaged for
the same evening.
What private house?" asked Mr..
Campanari.
Mr.. Hamilton Macoy Twombley's, 3"
was the answer. But no explanation
was added that Mr.. Twombley was a
Vanderbilt
"Will they send a carriage for me
from the house where l am to sing ?''
inquired the baritone, as he looked
through the score of La Boheme, :"
occupied with thoughts of a rehearsal
about to begin.
"Of course" said the manager.
Later on Mr.. Campanari, thinking
that he was to stop at one house ana
sing at another, and that dinner for his
colleagues and himself was a not unim-
portant affair, got his note book from
his pocket and telegraphed to the ad-
dress of the private house,"
Mr.. H. Mack. Twombley:
Have two chickens and two bottles
of wine ready for me tomorrow at FIVE
O'Clock. G. Campanari.
This duty done he felt better and on
the arrival of the train he alighted to
find a carriage and coachman and foot
man in waiting. His colleagues de-
parted in another direction, he alone
was to stop at the private house,
AS he bOwled along the country road a
dim presentment grew in Mr.. Campa-
nari's mind, a presentment that grew
to a well-defined horror during a din
ner of many courses. All the time he
hoped that the telegram had miscar-
ried. After the coffee a waiter came
in carrying a tray, on it were two
roast chickens, and two bottles of wine.
For the rest of the evening Mr.. Twom-
bley, delighted at the mistake, intro

HANNA FOR PRESIDENT.

.
1t begins to look as if Senator Hanna
had a pretty we'll organized literary
/ bureau working for his nomination for
President in 1904. In several of the
leading Republican and Independent
papers letters from Washington are
appearing in which he is brought for
ward prominently as a presidential
candidate.
The effort is made to show that he
is not seeking the nomination and that
he will not listen to those who pro-
pose that he shall begin an active cam
paign for it. but it is noticeable that
the writer's manage somehow to get a
sight of the letters which are being
written to him. and are put in possess
sion of facts tending to show dissatis-
faction in the ranks of the Republican
party with President Roosevelt
There is no doubt of course that Pres
ident Roosevelt is not as popular with
the politicians of his party as Pres
ident Mckinley was. He is altogether
too blunt to suit them. He is too
quick to say yes or no. Most of the
politicians who call on him for favors
leave the executive mansion, it is said.
with a feeling that they will never
darken it's doors again while Mr..
Roosevelt is President.
Much of this feeling is due to the
refusal of the President to permit the
politicians, or even the Senators of his
partv IN ma Ira nominations for him
He insists upon knowing whether or
not a man has the necessary qualifica-
tons for the Office he seeks and
whether or not he has a good moral
character. Questions relative to quail
ificaticns and moral character are fire.
quently embarrassing.
1t is intimated that Senator Hanna
could have the delegates from all of
the Southern states without the outlay
of a dollar. The average Southern Re-
publican has no use for President
Roosevelt-that is, the Southern Re-
publican politician. He believes, from
some of the appointments made re-
Gently in the South, that the men who
have been distributing the patronage in
this section will have but little infiu-
ence in the future-that the class of
men who will be appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be quite different
from the most of those appointed I'M
der previous Republican administra-
tons
OF Hanna's ability as a politician
there is no question. 1t seems to be
admitted that he is the ablest in the
Republican party. If therefore he is
really a candidate for the presidential
nomination of his party the chances
are that he will get it. He is in sym
pathy with the trusts and it will be
noticed that he is posing as the friend
of labor. He is always planning and
working, and it is probable that he is
inspiring the letters and dispatches
that are now being sent out from
Washington, showing what the prob
abilities are that he will get the nomi-
nation.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Evening Post Qnd)
says: 1--WE have great respect for the
country banker who has carefully
studied broad questions and worked
out sound conclusions, and who Of
ten understands far better than the
city bred man the feelings of the peo-
pie and the best way of commanding
their approval. The nation is to be
congratulated that a President may
look to a small town like Dalton, in
Massachusetts, with only 3,014 inhab-
itants, or Denison, in Iowa, with but
3,646, for a man worthy to succeed the
Chicago banker who is about to retire
from public service at Washington"
The New York Times says: Gen
orally speaking, Southern manufac-
turing is profitable. We are strongly
OF the opinion. however, that the best
interests OF the South will be found in
the development of it's agricultural re-
sources, and that If these are neglected
for manufacturing or hampered by
lack of capital because manufacturing
investments are more attractive,
Southern development will be less
rapid and satisfactory than it's nat
ural advantages invite"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd) says ut is time both sides
came down to business. The Amer
leans have all along been inclined to
regard the Panama canal as a black
mailing scheme on Uncle Sam. and the
French have been convinced that the
Nicaragua scheme was only Yankee
blun.' to enable the United States to
buy the Panama canal at a low price.
The truth is that both routes are
feasible, and neither side can blum the
other"
