structed according to the original plans.
And there is, presumably no doubt that

take to construct the sea level ditch,
the opinion Is held that 1t will not In
reality take so very much more time
than that Of lock canal, and that IL
no unexpected difficulties are met with
It should not require more than two or
three years additional The majority
OF the engineers take the position that
the building OF the sea level canal
should not take more than fifteen years,
That is a short period when the great
purpose Of the gigantic undertaking Is

INTERNATI0NALIsM,

AS previously noted IN these columns
The American delegates to the inter-
national congress at Brussels held
some time ago, submitted plans to that
gathering for a permanent parliament
Of nations, These plans are under con-
slderatlon by committees now In ses'
sion at Paris. But 1t appears that the
suggestion is not considered practical at
present. The British members say It Is
their unanimous opinion that the plan
for an international parliament is
premature In the present state OF the
world.
This is, unfortunately. the plain, I'M
adorned truth. The world is not ripe
for the immediate realization OF the ex'
celent schemes OF the friends of per-
petual peace and good viii among men
Lenders OF nations are working for the
furtherance Of the cause but one of
their main difficulties Is to draw the
masses Of the nations with them. Mi
John w. Foster points out this fact
when he says. 1T Is the comment OF
those who have studied the deibera-
tlons OF the last conference and the
action of the nations on the subject OF
arbitration. that the governments have
been in advance Of the public sentiment
in this matter. The unthinking mass
OF mankind are fond of military dis
play and take deep interest in the
conflict Of armies. The patriotic spirit
rejoices IN the achievements Of military
heroes and the triumphs of its country
in the field of arms" Mr.. Foster quotes
a United States Senator, an able lawyer
and accomplished statesman, TO the ef-
feet that; There Is no popular de-
mand In this country for these arbitra.
tion treaties; the sentiment on the sub
ject Is mainly manufactured" We are
afraid this is but too true The gov
ernments and the statesmen, for once,
are ahead Of the nations they repre-
sent.
It appears to us that the kind OF work
mostly needed az the present time Is a
popular agitation, worldwide In its
scope for the principles ~ internation-
alism and peace, We have vast or
ganizatlons for temperance, for woman
suffrage. and other great causes. We
have "brotherhoods" that claim 10 be
philanthropic, and we have salvation
armies" etc. But we have no secular
organization, With the object OF bring
ing the principles for which the friends
of peace are working home to every
class OF people, by popular means of
propaganda. The peace societies that
| do exist are hardly known outside OF
very narrow limits. Reports Of peace
congresses are read by few, except the
| brief reports OF the press He who
viii inaugurate a popular movement for
the cause OF universal peace, Will de-
serve well Of mankind When states
men and legislators know that they
have the support Of the masses OF the
nations, they viii not be slow IN form
ulating arbitration treaties, creating IN
! ternational psrllaments, and adopting
| international laws, IT depends on the
| people now The fate of the world Is
in their hands. as is the fate of Russia
