THE INLAND WATERWAY.

Noting the estimate that siXty-fve miles of easy digging at few million dollars cost would open eight hum dred miles of safe waterway between New England and the South, the New York Sun expresses wonder that this work was not done long ago. The enterprise it points out, involves little more than the dredging of sand Or mud across strips of land which now separate natural channels and the deepening of those channels. Along the route lie such points as New York, Philadelphia and Balti- more, to say nothing of the numerous smaller cities either directly touch ed or accessible by deviation from the main route. The Cape Cod canal
 opens Massachusetts Bay to Long Island Sound. Providence, New Lon don and Hartford are already open to the Sound New York and Hudson river points, with Jersey City and Newark, are open to the Raritan
 
 ward via the Delaware river, the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and Del, Baltimore and Washington along Chesapeake Bay, with Wilmington, the way, to Norfolk, which the canal scheme would connect with Beaufort Inlet From that place the ocean course is reasonably safe to Whining ton in North Carolina and to Charles ton and Savannah
 No one who gives the inland water way project moments :. serious thought can doubt that it will take visible shape before long. Where such great results undeniablys await such small expenditure this practical American people need onV~ that the matter be brought directly and~-with some persistence to their attention.
