THE WAYS OF STATESMEN.
Varying Methods Of Lord Palmerston

Queen Victoria once wrote to Lord
Palmerston, then premier OF England.

speak from his place in the house OF

duties to your majesty and has had
the honor to receive your majestys

what :our majesty would have said II

may. perhaps, be permitted to take
the liberty of saying 1t Is fortunate
for those from whose opinion her maj
esty differs that your majesty Is not
In the house OF commons, for they
would have to encounter q formidable
antagonist in argument; although. on
the other hand. those whose opinions
your majesty approves would have
had the support Of powerful ally in

a more direct way in dealing with
women. One of them once attempted
to get \ certain piece Of Information

Character of the Waterway.

There is authority for the statement that
the question as to whether the isthmian
canal shall be q sea -level waterway or con-
structed on the lock system is one that
need not be determined at the outset of the
work. In fact, it is stated that work could
progress for five years or more before this
matter would necessarily be decided, and
without in any way retarding the progress
of construction or causing any delay. The
explanation is made in this connection that
the same work would be required for the
early stage of a sea-leyel canal that would
be necessary in the construction of a sixty
siX-foot cut, or, in other words, that the
same eXcava ton work would be required
for the one as for the other. Thus, ample
time would be given for a most exhaustive
consideration of the subject and for thor
ough study of all the engineering problems
involved before determining upon the char
acter of the waterway. While it is not nee
essarily a legislative question, yet a decis
ion to adopt a sea-level plan would mean
that much larger sum would be required
for the construction of the canal than Con-
gress has authorized for the completion of
the project, and Congress would be called
upon for a further authorization thus in
directly bringing the question of a sea-level
canal before the legislative branch of the
government.
The committee and the executive has be-
fore il a strong recommends ton in favor Of
a sea-evel canal.
