The Letters In "Tho sun"

This letter refers to a matter concern
ing which questions similar to that asked
in it have often been put to US:

1t is not surprising that such a doubt
as he expresses should arise in the mind
OF our correspondent The letters to
which he refers are generally recognized
az peculiar in character and in interest,
and by no one so readily and with 40
much qualification as by ourselves. They
seem to us, and probably to him also,
to be distinguished among the letters Of
volunteer newspaper correspondents by
a naturalness of expression, by an alb
sence OF self-consciousness, which gives
them place altogether by themselves.
The great defect of such letters written
for publication is usually their literary
affectation. They are written by people
who are thinking less about conveying
their thoughts or narrating facts within
their knowledge than about the manner
in which they do 1.-THE impression they
are likely to make on the editor and the
reader as to their literary ability or dex-
teritv. That is, they betray self-con-
seriousness. and there is an artiiciality
of sentiment in them. The letters We
print in The sun. it must be observed
are without these faults They are
written simply TO tell exactly what is in
the minds OF their authors. and not TO
make show of learning or literary art
They have the flavor of genuineness
about them, and the chief aim of their
writer's seems to be simplicity and clear
ness in the expression OF their actual
thoughts That is their great and pecul-
lar charm.
Now, as to the specific question Of
our Washington friend. Generally, the
letters in THE Sun are printed exactly
as they are written though in some cases
they may be abbreviated. None Of them
is made over If sometimes a few
corrections in their literary expression
are needed. these are only slight and
are rendered necessary merely because
Of haste in their production.
A wonderfully bright lot of people read
THE Sun, and they are in every part Of
this continent, not only in our own coun-
try, but also in Canada; moreover, they
are in South America and in every other
part Of the civilized world. We are
proud of them and proud of the prefer
ence they give to this paper and the in
centive to simple, clear and natural ex-
preston which it seems 10 give them
Self-consciousncss is the deadly foe Of
good writing.

The boom has proceeded on the theory
that all the territory convenient to the
subway will be available for improve
ment with fiat houses. The army Of
spectators, with assistance from big
financial institutions has had command
OF sufficient capital to absorb all the
vacant land in the market. The land has
been traded in until prices have been
reached which preclude its use for private
dwellings or even for inexpensive fiat
houses. The speculation has been suffi-
GENTLY extensive to fix the general level
OF values in the various localities. In
each district the. speculation stopped
only when the fear began to spread
among operators that prices we're being
forced too high even for the better grade
of flats.
In The Bronx typical lot quotations
rose from $500 to 5000; in the upper
Lenox avenue district, from $500 to
$4,000; on Washington Heights, from
81 500 to $4,000 In each Of these neigh
borhoods fat houses are the only con-
struction now contemplated, differing
merely in finish and in the size of apart
ments. The minimum rent anticipated
in The Bronx is about S. a room a month.
The opening of the subway. therefore,
promises no reduction in the burden OF
excessive rents which Expresses the
lower and middle classes. The enormous
value added to the outlying land by new
transportation facilities has already been
appropriated by the real estate speoulator
and his ally who handles the savings

cial institutions and life insurance COM

THE PANAMA CANAL.
MIR. Crichneld suggests the Abandonment
OF Two-Thirtis OF the Present Route.

To THE EDITOR OF The SUS-Sn: The
engineering committee OF the 1sthmian
Canal Commission has recommended the
digging Of deep sea canal-an eminently
wise and proper plan. on which we may
congratulate the committee, the chief en-
eineer and the Government at Washing
ton. 1t is not certain, however, that SINH
lar communication can be given the further
recommendation OF the committee, that a
tunnel be constructed through the noun
tains to the Pacific side for the purpose Of
diverting the food waters Of the Chagres,
which sometimes amount TO three or four
hundred thousand cubic feet per minute.
The trouble lie that all these collateral works
cost money-usually several times as much
as the preliminary estmates-and when
completed the evil is only partially cured.
The suggestion / am going to make is
only tentative, for | have not made that
personal examination OF the territory, or
OF the surveys. which would enable me to
form definitely a decisive opinion, but

go on forever. no matter what methods
we may adopt for diverting the food waters

Short Inaugural Addresses.

Tho shortest inaugural address ever
delivered by President Of the United
States we have recently printed twice
as a model Of brevity and solemn self
conservation TO duty under the law. That
was GEORGE WAsHINGToN's address
when he took the oath Of Office for
his second term.
Another very brief inaugural was pro-
nounced by ABRAHAM LINCOLN on March
4, 1865. Not because that wonderful
speech contained only about six hundred
words, but because of its marvellous
diction, rivalling as JOIN HAY has said.
the fire and dignity OF the old Hebrew
prophets, and because of It's magnan-
irnous sentiments prophetic of national
reunion, LINcoLN's second inaugural
has found It's merited place among the
masterpieces Of all time.
Longer than LINCoLN's second in
augural, yet brief in comparison with
tho greater number of similar utterances
during our national history. are JACK
sons second, GRANTS first, and those OF
ZACHARY TAYLOR, CHESTER A. ARTHUR
and ANDREW JOHNSON.
With instructive good taste Mr.. RoosE-
WELT yesterday restricted his utteranoes
10 less than twelve hundred words. about
the number employed by ANDREW JACK
son at the beginning of his second term,
and only four or five hundred moro than
ABRAHAM LINCOLN used on memorable
occasion. Mr. ROOSEVELT also confined
his discourse to the broader generalities
OF national duty and responsibility. His
sentiments are unexceptionable. and they
are expressed in fine literary form.
The comparative study Of the inaug-
ural addresses of the successive Ameri-
can Presidents is an education and
pleasure which We commend 10 citizens
OF the present generation. Once in
while you discover a really Illuminating
or phrase, or figure For er-
ample, how many people are aware that

From Ohio there were and from Illinois
Democrats-12. In tho next Congress
there will be only ?, one member each from

including the territory called Egypt. and
a considerable part OF southern and west

Ohio have retained the distinction Of being
strongly Democratic. Through the civil
war and generally in elections since they
have been steadfastly Democratic What
ever disasters the party sustained in other
sections Of the country, these agricultural
districts Of Illinois and Ohio remained
Democratic.
Last year for the first time, the spell Of
half century was broken. The one Illinois
district which remained faithful to the Dem
ooratic party was what Is known as the Pike
county district on the Mississippi, the chief
town Of which is Jacksonville. IL includes
