HovsroNs DEEP WATER PROJECT.

Just as the Erie canal made New York and the Man.

deepening OF Buffalo bayou will make Houston.
The analogy with Manchester is closer. The Erie
canal brought freight from the interior New York
which was seaport by its natural situation Manches.
ter, however, an inland town The ship canal from
the estuary of the Mersey to Manchester has made
Manchester, with the suburb of Stafford the largest
city in Great Britain with the exception London In
the first five months after the Manchester canal was
opened in 1894 the proceeds of traffic on the canal
amounted to S16S505 the merchandise transported in
seagong vessels amounted 915 tons; that trans.
ported in barges to 6S7s5 tons while the passengers
numbered 323,O56.
Before the ship canal made Manchester one of the
commercial cities of the world the city depended
for its prosperity the railroads just as Houston.
with its fifteen railroads, is railroad town. Just
as Manchester has commercial relations with
every country in the civilized world win 1t be with
Houston. Since the ship canal at Manchester was
opened in 1894 the population of Manchester and Sal.

The REPUBLICAN SCANDALS.

In country in the world where there has been
representative form Of government has there been
an administration in power which has been bonn
barded with hot shot from such big of the oppo
ston the present republican administration at
Washington.
The present administration has been mainly con.
cerned with three things: With domestic affairs with
the Philippines and with Cuba We have three CORE
spending scandals of great magnitude. The people of
the United States have suffered under sharper
oppression than that of the beef trust The Philippine
atrocities is about the biggest and the blacklist scandal
with which administration in any country has
been besmirched. And this latest Cuban scandal in
volvng Governor Leonard Wood the presidents pro-
tege and the administrations chief officer in Cuba
showing him to be the ally of the sugar trust the
great sensation of the day.
The beef trust scandal will not down on account Of
the feeble civil prosecutions which the president has
ordered the attorney general to institute The people
not satisfied with the matter of the contents of
their market baskets being tied up chancery where
the laws delays have ever been of the longest WAY
ing the flag and vlifyng the South have distracted
the attention of the people from the accommodating
horrors which are being revealed in the Philippines
which Senator Bacon apty called the suburbs of hell
The presidents special message calling attention to the
distress of Cuba and plain moral duty has not hid
the plain immoral alliance with the sugar trust which
the administration has been aiming to aid under
pretense of charity to Cuba
There are minor scandals, too; the of sehley
and Miles; the blocking of the Nicaragua canal pro-
ject the British military camp New Orleans which
hourshed throughout the Boer the neglected case
of Miss STONE; the 100 great trusts of the country
which have not been cvilly prosecuted the ship
