Produced New National Life.

The differences in the inherited
traits of the people of the different
sections Of the country, which every
thinking man must recognize as
among the factors most potent in pro-
voklng the war, necessarily prevented
the existence and growth of a true
national life-a life emanating from a
common principle and common pur-
pose. And the sentiment will bear
repetition. that before the war such
a national life did not exist.
Whether this was the problem the
men of the north set for their solution,
or whether the different principles
presented results offensive on either
side, and these led 10 the hostilities,
one thing Is certain-this was the pro-
blem that was solved. Men were re-
ally fighting for something they did
not zee. and accomplishing better
than they knew They fought to
maintain an outward form OF life,
but secured the birth OF real life
In this case the people of all the states
were the mother. who. in giving birth
to the new life. had herself to pass
through the valley of the shadow of
death
But a new life was born 4 real
life appeared, and for these 40 years
has been growing and developing. till.
today. we have a nation held together

been too cool for the steady and
substantial growth of cotton, de-
sired at this time, bnt in most sec-
tions the plant, while growing
slowly, looks we'll The crop is in
a splendid state cultivation, and
all that is now needed is warmer

PLANS FOR

After having been withdrawn from pub

adverse and protesting comment when
first proposed Is once more brought to
the front in the announcement from the
are rapidly nearing completion. This
seems like bringing the affair down 10 a
more business like basis. as work may
moro have passed.
For upwards OF four months a force OF
engineers have made extensive surveys
covering the territory between the Union
passenger station and the Seekopk river,
reducing the results OF their labors 10
tangible chartings and plans in a special
room at the station.
At present the lines of the tunnel are
definitely fixed from its location beneath
Benefit street to its eastern portal, which
is to be- unless the government offers OBJ
tecticns, at the foot OF Amy street at Its
intersection with Gano. As to the course
OF the tunnel from Benefit street 10 the
station the company is as yet without de-
cisive plans. though an idea Of the prob
able location may be had from the fact
that at Benefit street the tunnel will be
on a line with Arsenal lane, which IS
some distance north OF Thomas street
Considerable anxiety was felt at the
earlier agitation OF the matter on the
score OF unpleasant vibrations which,
arising from the rapid passage OF heavy
trains through the tunnel, would be felt
upon the surface by those whose homes
were built over the line OF the tunnel To
Of
Engineer E. =. Dawley has given figures
TO show that the tunnel Will pass at
depth varying from IS to ss feet along It's
course east Of Prospect street The Max
imum depth Is reached directly beneath
the Corliss property at the southeast cor
ner Of Angel and Prospect streets, 30

using tunnels for rapid transit bears out
