appeared. It, too, was a unique type,
built low in the water, consisting %
single round, steel turret mounted
on a fiat, armored deck. The turret
slowly revolved, pouring shot after
shot into the Merrimac from its two
big guns.
The fight was draw. Neither
ironclad was able to damage the 9TH
err much. But it was nevertheless
triumph for the Monitor. She had
checkmated the Merrimac and saved
the northern fleet.
The members of the Monitor crew
were invited to Washington, and
President Lincoln, after thanking
them for their services, promised
them if any one of them ever wanted
a favor from the government, all he
had to do was to ask it.
John Driscoll has now asked for
the fulfllment Of that promise. And
the republic is keeping its word. The
next dreadnought that makes the
Panama passage will carry the veter-
an sailor.
Thus the great era of modern navy
building is rounded out. 1t began
with the battle in which Driscoll par
ticipated. Subsequent development
has been along the lines of both the
Merrimac and the Monitor-the
mounting Of movable gun turrets of
heavy steel on a ship with armored
decks and sides. The battleship that
carries John Drscoll, representing
the acme of fighting power, will be
the latest lineal descendant of the
two crude vessels that fought their
momentous duel in 1862.

THE NICARAGUA TREATY.

In ratifying the treaty with Nicara
qua by which for $3,OOO,O00 the Unit
ed States secures perpetual and ex'
elusive interOceanic canal rights in
that country, the Senate showed sen
sible foresight The declared pur'
pose of leasing the new canal route is
to keep any other power from getting
nit and building rival canal. But
we may want to use that route our
selves some time.
The Panama canal, in spite Of &C
casional Interruptions to its useful
ness, is a success. Col. Cocktails de
clares that the stopping of the Guile
bra slides is matter of time anC
work. They will not continue indeti
nitely, as some, alarmists fear. But
just because the canal is success
the demand for its use will grow
greater and greater. The next stel
may be the construction of the cana
through Nicaragua. This would be &
sea-level waterway, making use Of
Lake Nicaragua and the San Juar
river.
The experience of all recent con
struction. seems to prove that shor
vision does not pay. The American
locks at Sault Ste Marie have haG
to be enlarged more than once The
Canadian locks have been entirely re
built The Welland canal is much
too small for modern freight ships
Trent canal will soon be outgrown
If this country ever does undertake
to build Nicaraguan canal, the safe
thing would seem to be to take the
limit OF the most sanguine prophet
as to it's necessary size-and Their
double it.
