TALK OF SECOND SUEz
CANAL IS HEARD AGAIN
New York Sun Special Service.

London, Dec. 17.-Newspapers give
prominence to discussion, in shipping
circles of Great Britain, Of proposal
to cut a new Suez canal parallel to the
existing one.
The scheme was proposed in 1882,
when survey was made. The agita-
ton arises from revolt on the part Of
the shipowners against what they con
tend are the excessive canal dues, which
exceed the cost of coal for a voyage
around the Cape Of Good Hope. Many
carriers are unable to use the canal. 1t
is instanced that it cost Russia $4,000
to get the Baltic fleet thru the canal.

Buddhist Consolation for the Japanese

Buddhist Consolation for the JAPANESE
It has remained for The Open Court to
give the first statement of the attitude of
the Buddhist priesthood of Japan toward
the present war. It goes without saying
that it is loyalty Japanese. But 1t is a
question Of intense interest-one might al
most, even at this distance, say it is a
question of vital interest-what consola-
ton Buddhism offers Japan nationally and
the Japanese individually for the tremen-
dous losses they are daily sustaining and
sorroWing over. 5..

CHURCH CHOIR STRIKES;
NO CHRISTMAS MUSIC
New York Sun Special Service.

NEW fofK Sun SpecfaI sefvlce.
Pittsburg, Dec. 17.-Owing to the
outbreak Of trouble in the choir of
the Emory Methodist church, Rev. A.
Mink, pastor, there has been no sing
ing by the choir for two Sundays, and
it : is probable that there will be no
Christmas music. j. F. Lane is the
musical director, and as a result of the
trouble, he has been unable as yet to
arrange for the usual Christmas chorals.
The choir members are on strike and
refuse to sing unless an order issued
by the minister that Professor Lane
resign within sixty days be reseinded.

The Globe is convinced that the pronai-

is political move designed to cover post
ponement of tariff reform. And we have q
bunch that the proprietor of the Globe
would very gladly give prominence to
tariff reform in order to postpone govern
ment regulation Of railroad rates. How
either Of these needed reforms will get in
the way of the other, but that both will
have attention at the proper time.

Survey Of Swamp Lands.

One feature Of the report of State
Auditor Iverson will open the eyes of
many people who think they know
something about Minnesota. His report
shows that when surveys are completed,
the state will. have title to over 2,00O,-
900 acres of swamp land in the north
ern counties. This is nearly four per
cent Of the entire area Of the state.
Under the swamp land grant Of 1860,
all swamp lands in the state are given
to the state for it's schools and state in
situations. The wisdom Of this grant is
evident, as the drainage of these lands
is too great task for private capital.
Without drainage, the state can realize
little on the land, but when. once re-
claimed from the swamp, most of it will
make valuable farming land. Consider
able land in the Red river valley has
already been reclaimed and sold at a
good profit. The past work, however, has
been mere ~bagatelle compared to
what confronts the state in the newer
sections Of st. Louis, Lake, Itasca, Bel,
trami and other northern counties
where whole townships are now sunk in
impossible bog.
Drainage is essential to the develop
ment Of these sections, and it is also
frst-class business policy for the state
The money spent will return multiplied
when the lands are sold. However, il
will not do to begin the work blindly
The magnitude of the task calls for de
liberation. ..
The suggestion Of Auditor Iverso1
| seems the wisest policy at this time
1t calls for an appropriation to MAKE
a general survey Of the swamps. Be
fore the work Of drainage can be dom
intelligently, the engineers must have
full information as to the topography
They must know where to make the out
let of the main bitches in order t,
start right. 1t is not economy to drai1
one swamp into another swamp. TIL
work must proceed with system, AM
the first thing in order is complet
state survey Of the territory to b
opened. The senators and representa-
tives from this northern territory will
lead in the movement, but they shout
receive cordial support from othe
sections of the state.

Dispatches from Boston announce that
Andrew Carnegie has gone into partner

anthropy business. Strange as this sounds
it is literally true. The trust fund Of
St, 900 left in Franklin's will for founding
an Industrial school has grown to $27O,0OO
at maturity, and to create an institution
that is adequate to present needs Mr..
Carnegie is adding $4,000 to the Frank

in this union Of forces. Here are two self
