Tlie NL-araguu canal has become commercial and military neces sity to unite the Atlantic and Pacific nd make the n in fact, as they are in Dame, oik-country. The non-progressive ami retrograde policy of confining the possessions of the Uuittd Mates within the present boundaries is repudiated by the American people. Steam has transferred naval warfan from sailing ships to vessels profiled by steam. BtMIMbipl are helpless without coal. Coal is contraband of war. Tbi United States cannot retain th'- josition on the ocean which she bus always occupied without coaling station- in CTeTJ part of the world l enable her navy to float any wl II n H 'I ewrjf wherc, as it always did, to protect the rights of American eltlacne and to safeguard our foreign commerce. The Nicaragua canal btBOBM more and more a necessity every day in connection with the Philip pino Islands, Cuba und Porto Bioo, which we must take and hold us indemnity for the put und as security fur the luture. The Sand wich Islands must lie annexed or the coalmen e of tha Paoiflc mud lie abandon' I. While the United States is ac quiring islands in the two ore ins a water passage acron the isthmus must be a part of the general acheme. Much lime has been wasted during Which the canal could have been constructed, in discus sing the rights ol the Maritime dual Company, and in discussing n labyrinth ot details with regard to the ownership and control of the canal when constructed. Senator Stewart has introduced a hill which, if passed, will permit the work ol constructing the .m il by the United Stales, and it could be prosecuted with dispatch and with out foreign complications. The canal should be built, owned and controlled by the United State.-, and it should be a highway tor all nations which woaldjoln in pro tecting its neutrality in war us well as in pence. The whole world then would be Iri ndly and the 1'nited State could bo reimbiirsiil by a trilling charge upon the ship of all nations which passed throng!) the canal. Mil A OKIM T. The Salem Statesman desires to destroy an essential feature of the usefulness of tho Australian ballot system. It aays. "The Australian ballot must tie corrected by tin next legislature, so that men may vote their straight party ticket w ith one mark of the blue pencil. We must copy the New York lull it. It is not justice to have the intention! of votrs thwarted by their contusion over the arrangement of the ballot-." The arrangement of i ante on the ticket according to alphabetical precedence is one of the best parts ol tho Australian ballot law. voter who is not able to make out bis ticket by rCMOH of old age, or lack ol edui'Htion, may call n judge to bis assistance. It requires but a few minutes tini to arrange the ballot, and absolute secrecy and freedom from interference of elec tion cappers ami heelers are secured by the law. And it must bl re membered that even under the old law mistakes were frequently made. The objection 1 1 this straight ballot system is that many voters wou'd not take the trouble. U) vote for the men of their choice of an opposite Hili(ical faith when they could he through with tin' work by a simple mark of the pencil.

"The Republicans had all the bOBOll o n foreign war on their side and there is nothing more popular with the American people than a war policy.
