Senator Morgan and the Canal.
This is from the New York Sun:


The Sun has nothing but kindness for
Alabama, and no disposition to dispar-
age the great influence he exerted upon
events BY his persistent advocacy Of an

Father of the Isthlnian Canar-that Ia,
the actual isthmian canal by way Of
Panama ="
AS everybody knows, Senator Morgan
was an advocate of the Nicaragua route,
and never surrendered his Judgment on
that point. He resisted with all his might
the proposition as to Panama. But he
was overruled. and the canal was ordered
where he did not think 1t should be built.
Nevertheless. this country and tho world
owe to the memory Of the great Ala
banian pronounced reverence for his In
valuable part In keeping tho subject of an
Isthmian Canal before Congress when
otherwise II might have lansuished. After
taking 1t up. no never Withdrew his at
tsntion from it. He went into 1t thor
oughly. as respected not only location,
but the rapidly growing necessity for &C.

isthmus should be pressed ahead Of other

call With Congress.
He risl<ed. and lost temporarily. some
Of his personai popularity because Of his
course Many Of his friends thought he
talked toe oftsn and too much on the sub

matter came to be known a. "Morgans
hobby" They said that. with him, every
road led to the canal. When any large
number OF senators collected in the cloak
rooms or we're seen In the corridors the
guess vas that Morgan must be talking
