THE COMMONER,
Mr.. Bryan's Paper

The Commoner has attained within
six months from date ofthe first issue a
circulation Of 100, coo copies, record
probably never equaled in history of
American periodical literature. Theun-
paralleled growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in the news
paper field for a national paper devoted
to the discussion Of political, economic
and social problems. TO the columns
Of The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan contrib
utes his best efforts; and his review of
political events as they arise from time
to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner'sregu egularsubscription
price is Sl.O0 per year. We have ar
ranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the weekly
Democrat together for one year for
s1.5O. The regular subscriptionprice of
the two papers when subscribed for

WHAT the PANAMA ROUTE Is.
II IL 1000 Miles Long and Follows
Chagrea River Most os Distance.

IL IL 1900 Miles Long and Follows
ChaEres River Most os Distance.
The Panama route is Il 1909 miles
long from ocean to ocean Which is but
little more than one-four Of the total
length OF the Nicaragua cute. There
is, therefore, less room for variety OF
features than is found on Tho Nicara-
qua line. The city Of Colon. formerly
called Aspinwall. was chosen by tho
old Panama company as the Atlantic
terminus. The route then follows
along the marshes in a southwesterly
direction to a little place called Gatun,
on the Chagres river. From that point
II follows the line of that riv in a
general way to obispo, thir miles
from Colon.
At Obispo the route leaves the Cha
gres and enters the Emperador cut,
which merges into the great Culebra
cut, where the line crosses the contl-
mental divide. From the latter point
It's general course lies along a small
stream called the Rio Grande until II
reaches the waters of Panama bay.
This route has attained great promi-
nence within the latst twenty years In
consequence of the work done on It by
the old Panama Canal Company. a
French corporation Of which Ferdi-
uand de Lesseps was the head. II was
not until 1883 that work upon a large
scale was begun. The plan adopted
was that OF sea-level canal and in
cluded a bottom width of seventy-two
feet and a navigable depth OF 29.5 feet.
The entire cost of the work was esti-
mated by De Lesseps in 1880 at about
$12S 900 900, and eight years for the
time required.
Work under this sea-level plan was
prosecuted actively until the near end
OF 1887. says a writer in Scribner's.
when It became evident that the canal
on a sea-level plan could not be con-
structed for the amount money and
time then available to tn company.

GREAT CRUSADE
 FOR GOOD ROADS
Memorial Convention Being
 Held at Charlottesville.
FITZHUGH LEE PRESIDING
Proposed to Connect Monticello With the University of Virginia By Beautiful Road as a Monu-
 ment to Jefferson.

Charlottesville, Va, April 2.-The Jeff ferson memorial and interstate good roads convention began here today with Gen. Fitzhugh Lee presiding. General Lee, in speaking of the plans of the con- vention, said:
 . Tt IS proposed to connect Monticello with the University of Virginia by a grand avenue which not only will recall to those who pass over it the life and character of a most eminent American statesman, but will also advance the great movement for good roads in the United States by serving as an object les sen in road construction in the middle At laDtic and southern states
 Mayor Charles w. Allen and pr. Paul B. Barritt. chairman of the faculty of the university, welcomed the members of the convention. Col. W. H. Moore, presi- dent of the National Good Roads Asso- citation, in summing up the results of the accomplishment by the good roads train, reported that in the six southern states visited seventeen conventions were held which congregated over 10000 people. Thirty-four miles of model road were constructed and organizations were formed at each place. AS a result of that labor said MT. Moore, most all of the states visited are organizing road officers and preparing to spend thousands of dol lars upon internal Improvements of highways. No industrial crusade ever in- augurated in this country has attracted such universal interest.
 Committees were appointed by the con- Yention as follows:
 Permanent Organization-Fitzhug Lee. president; Dr. W. c. Randolph, Jefferson M. Levy, Dr. P. B. Barringer, Mayor AL len and John B. Moon. vice presidents and R. w. Richardson, secretary
 President Stuyvesant Fish of the Illi- nois Central arrived here at noon to take part in the convention.

Seats for the music festival are going steadily and there will not be many left unsold by the end of the week. The box sheet is at Parker's drug store. The fes- tiyal last year paid out and it is believed that this one will go far ahead of 1t. If the people of Birmingham like music of the tuneful sort the Auditorium will be filled both nights of the festival-Monday and Tuesday.
 There will be a full chorus rehearsal tonight and another full rehearsal Sun day afternoon. Theodore Thomas and his matchless orchestra will arrive here Mon day morning and there will be a rehear- sal of the orchestra with Miss Gockel, the piano soloist, at Il a. m. and with the chorus and vocal solists at noon. There will be another rehearsal with chorus and soloists Tuesday at noon.
 MT. Guckenberger will conduct all the numbers in which the chorus takes part, MT. Thomas will conduct all the purely orchestral numbers.
