ton by complaints that the piers
would not hold. The contractors
OVERRIDE the city engineer when
he expressed this opinion.
AS soon as stone was being filled
into the piers, the cheap work was
shown and they commenced to
bulge and give signs Of falling
Then 1t was that the board of pub.
lie works ordered it torn apart and
new work put in. However, a com.
promise was effected, and the piers
were ribbed with steel rods so as
to hold the rock In place.
The city council then gave the
Traction company a franchise to
run cars over the structure.
Since then, 1t is claimed. the con.
tinual racking it has received has
taken the elasticity from it and
now the structure sways whenever
a street car crosses.

ooAgTwTsB CANAL ROUTES.

Reports current Of renewed vitality, and
indeed, OF activity, in the Cape Cod and Buzz
Yards Bay Canal scheme which has been in
existence, chiefly in a state OF suspended ami
nation, but with occasional fits of energy for
many years. 1t is also announced that a fed
eral commission is about TO survey a route
for the long-talked-of canal between the Della.
ware and Chesapeake bays There can be no
doubt of the entire practicability of both these
schemes, and there is ground for believing that
they would prove profitable. The same may be
said, with scarcely, If any, less confidence con-
cerning the vastly larger scheme which has
occasionally been suggested and of which
these two would form essential and important
parts.
We refer TO the grandiose but quite practi-
cable proposal TO construct a semi-inland coast
wise canal route all the way from Massachu-
setts Bay TO the Gulf Of Mexico How easy Of
construction, comparatively, this would be a
glance at the map reveals. There are now
scarcely half dozen miles of sand between
Cape Cod Bay and Buzzard's Bay, through
which a ship canal should have been cut half
q century ago. When such a canal is made
there will be a semi-inland water route by way
of Long Island Sound, from Boston 70 New York
There is already q canal route In use across

done most Of the needed work, and the great

OF our government Legislators are requested
to pledge themselves not only to vote for GER

Federation of Labor and the National Grange
are to be the real legislative body and the con-
stitutIonal organs OF government to be mere

should be evident. Between New York and
Boston there would be vast saving IN distance
and time, and ALSO OF course, between New
York and all further points on the New Eng
land coast. The saving between Atlantic ports
and Gulf ports would likewise be enormous
Elsewhere the gain would be less. but certainly
a route which would avoid the perilous passage
around Cape Hatteras would lee of great value
II ii be said that vessels OF large size couio
not traverse the comparatively shallow inland
waters as rapidly as they can the open sea, the
answer is that the reduction Of distance would
more than compensate for the reduction or
speed. SO much for times of peace. In time OF
war, for purposes of coast defence and for
movements of fleets without the observation OF
hostile vessels off the coast such system OF
waterways would be invaluable. When we con-
slider how the German and Austrian empires are
being covered with networks of canals; how
France has long maintained a canal from the
Mediterranean Sea to the Bay of Biscay which
she now proposes TO make navigable by the
largest ships; how Russia is planning ship
canal from the Black Sea to the Baltic, and
how other and minor powers are creating and
extending waterways, it certainly seems that
the United States might well take into consid-
GRAFTON such an improvement Of the unique OPP
portunities which nature has placed before it.
