THE THIRD CANAL ROUTE.

Senator Hanna and Senator Scott who are backing
The Darien or San Bias route for the ishmian canal
lay themselves open TO an inevitable suspicion Rea.
sonng not help believing that this eleventh
hour proposition is made simply for the purposes OF
delay, TO postpone the canal project indefinitely and
defeat it altogether IL possible All the surrounding
circumstances TO call in question the sincerity of
the two Darien route senators.
In the first place, the time at which the proposition
is introduced is suspicious and is but elimination
OF series of suspicious circumstances. The commits
zion recommends the Nicaragua route The people de-
and it, The house passes the Hepburn bin for the con-
EtIucton OF the Nicaragua canal The bill goes to the
senate. Now is the time for the opponents OF
the canal project to get in their work They proceed
to get in their work Presto! there change in the
whole complexion of things The Panama people cut
their price many millions. The commission makes a
new report and recommends the Panama route Before
the senate can pass bill for the construction of
Panama canal it is found that there is trouble with the
Panama title. Then the Colombian government de-
mands a million year rental Then doubts are sug-
gesed account Of recent Colombian revolutions as
to whether there is any Colombian government exist
ing that has the right to make good the defective title
or to demand rental Now, when disguised with the
Panama complications the senate would naturally turn
with favor to the Nicaragua proposition sent up to
them from the house in the Hepburn bill, this Da
rien proposition is sprung

TIE LOCAL clrlzzzAas DUTY.

1t too often falls out in political reforms that the
people most concerned leave the work of campaigning
to the candidates and the work performance entirely
to the officers elected.
This observation is made with special respect to the
local municipal campaign. The forces of reform have
named an irreproachable ticket for mayor and alder
men and the candidates stand upon platform which
means clean and progressive government But the
didates not elect themselves Citizens who want
them elected must bestir themselves.
Houston is midway in a great commercial and indus
tia development. She thrills with life and energy
prosperity is the portion of every active and inte
gent effort In time like this the temptation is to at
tend strictly to private business and let politics alone
But politics has peculiar way of doing harm when 1t

things we'll begun Will not continue well doing by their
