DIG THE NICARAGUA CANAL. Senator John H. Mitchell, of Ore san, has placed himself on record as being in favor of the Nicaragua ca nal. He has ventured even to op pose Mark Hanna upon this import ant nationnl enterprise, Senator Han 11a being on the side of the transcon tinental railroads in their secret opposition- to the Nicaragua route, ap parently favoring the Panama canal in an effort to delay if not dofeat the national project. Senator Mitchell's attitude is en couraging. He no longer goes indo lently about the work, but takes the leadership with vigoi along with Sen ator Morgan, in trying to get the sen ate to take favorable action upon the Hepburn bill, which is being held up1 In the upper house through railroad influence. It is this alone which! stands in the way of the settlement' of this great question upon the side of the people. Senator Mitchell makes ridiculous the latest plea of the anti-canal peo ple, thnt the Nicaragua route is threatened by eruptions of volcanoes and earthquakes and the canal, if built, would be destroyed in the twinkling of an eye. Since the Mar Unique disaster the enemies of the Nicaragua can.il have been busy try ing to outspout Mount Pelee in an oratorical deluge of hot mouthings against a project which ihoy realize would greatly benefit the people and, to some extent, relieve them of bur dens placed against them by special interests. The senate of the United States is brazen in its inpudence to the people, and it is gratifying to know that Or egon's senior senator has taken the stand and is crying out with such en ergy and force as to admit of no misinterpretation. Dig the Nicaragua canal! CHILD SLAVERY. Thirty-seven or eight years ago chattel slavery was abolished and the people rejoiced, while the institu tions of a free country were strength ened and enlarged, but immediately thereafter, the people not suspecting, the tree of industrial slavery began to take root and today Is flourishing in many parts of this great land, particularly in those parts whore the pressure of population Is greatest upon subsistence. Recently the American and Jour nal, Hearst's newspapers, began an Investigation Into the system vof em ploying child labor In the glass fac tories of Now Jersoy and a new hor ror was rovealed each day as It pro ceeded. The dOpt hof degradation to which tho system oi child slavery haB reduced the vlcnms was found to be amazing. Thero was unearthed a eystem by which a constant supply of children wa3 found to take the place of tho emaciated exhausted army of boys that il.op Into prema ture graves by tho burdens placed upon their young shoulders. In short, boys under ten years of ago wcro bound nit to tho glasc blowers by padrones, rnil by the glass blow ers they wore j.-asBod off at. tho fac tories as their son's. Tho work required of theso child ren Is shown by tho following sched ule of tho slavery of one of tho many victims: Hugo Mattlola, 7 years old, weight 40 pounds, reached the factory each morning at C;30 o'clock. Carried 10 oaken buckets filled with water, each weighing 35 pounds, across a space of 100 feet to fill the tubs at the benches of the glass blowers. Used a. long, flat shovel, twice as long as himself to remove bottles from the ovens, and carry them at arm's length on the shovel to the cooling oven. Ten a. m., 15 minutes recess, used in lugging in more water for the glass blowers. Worked unMl 12 m. carrying bottles from the oven as before. One hour for dinner, part of which was used in lugging in more water, until all the tubs were filled again. The afternoon a duplicate of the morning's toil. Negro chattle slavery never pos sessed more hideous, brutalizing and horrible features than this form of industrial slavery! Did it? The im mediate and temporary cure for it is to force by law every child out of these slave pens, but a permanent cure for it, so that every worker may earn by honest labor food and rai ment for those depending upon him or her, is a long story for which we have not space at this time, but the granting of special privileges to indi viduals and corporations has much to do with It and a taxation system that fines industry and enterprise to re re ward privilege and monopoly is the chief implement of the industrial slave masters. The slave is fast getting into a con dition that It is next to useless to ex hort him to think and act to free him self, for it is impossible for him to do it. Men who value freedom must undertake the task, but there are so few of them that the cause seems hopeless. DIG THE NICARAGUA CANAL. When the house of representa tives, with only two dissenting votes, passed the Hepburn bill authorizing the construction of the Nicaragua ca nal, it spoke for the country. For months the Hepburn bill has been held up in the senate by the advocates of tho Panama route, most of whom reflect tho wishes of the great railroad corporations, which want no canal at all. Opposition to the Nicaragua canal is mostly dishonest. It is intended to promote delay. Tho Nicaragua project has been urn der investigation for many years. Every aspect of It has been thorough ly discussed so thoroughly that fur ther debate wearies both experts and public Interested Ingenuity can find ob jections to tho Nicaragua route, as it could to any route. In an enterprise so vast thero Is plenty of room for conjecture, and whore there is room for conjecture tho prophet of ovlf is at homo particularly if ho bo a re tained attornoy of corporations which have a business motive for predicting disaster. But here Is a fact of capital import ance: The engineering feasibility of tho Nicaragua canal Is not questioned by anybody. Here Is another fact of equal Im portance: Tho engineering feasibility of tho I Panama canal Is very sorlously ques- tioned. A dam at Bohlo is tho only possible place for such a structure across tho Chagres river. That is tho testimony 1 of engineers. And thero are nntural conditions which render doubtful tho security of a dam at riohio. ! If that dam should fall tho Panama canal would bo a useless ditch. ! Tho Nicaragua routo is not depend ent upon ono dam. There are nu merous sultnblo sites for this pur pose. If ono dam should fall, only tho dam would bo lost, and not tho cnnal, as at Panama. I The Panama scheme Is clouded in fraud and scandal. Were we to buy out tho Fronch company wo should in all likelihood purchase intermina ble lawsuits. , Wo should buy, also, divided 'gov 1 ornmont control of tho contiguous country, Including tho city of Panama Inhabited by 30,000 people as little llko ourselves and as fond of us as are the Filipinos. Tho Isthmus and city of Panama, oven under sanitary regulations, en forced upon a hostile pedple, would .... i ..i.nn1.. utiVionlMlV. sun remain iuuiuiudij ......v........--, A human life paid for every tie thatj was laid on the Panama uaiiroau. i Nicaragua and Costa Rica, on the other hand, are famed for their healthful climate. Even the water of the swamps is good enough to drink. In the surveying and other prelimina ry work done by the Maritime Com pany and the government, men work ed without Injury to their health, some of them in the swamps up to their waists, day after day. There can be no dispute about the deadllness of Panama and the salu brity of Niraragua and Costa Rica. Roth In the building of a canal and in its permanent maintenance great numbers of men will have to be em ployed. Humanity, therefore, Is on the side of the Nicaragua route a considera tion tliat may he regarde' as negligi ble by the "business lni crests" on wheels that favor Pannnn, but which is of large import to people who enn think and feel. A clear title can be obtained at once from Nicaragua and Costa Rica. There is no fear of lega. complica tions. The Nicaragua route Is 600 miles nearer to our coast line ttan Panama. That Is of vast consequence to do mestic commerce. By way of Pana ma Europe would be brought closer to the Pacific coast than to our own gulf ports. Senator Morgan has riddled the loose estimates which represent that the cost of the maintenance at inic aragua would be much larger than at Panama. The danger from earthquakes is quite as great, if not greater, at Pan-, ama than at Nicaragua that Is tho , report of the Isthmian Canal Commls-' sion. 1 I The Martinique cataclysm has set the Panama advocates to spouting i fire, smoke and lava. They wish the 1 people to see another Pelee in every J mountain of Nicaragua. The oceans cannot bo united ex-, cept through an earthquake country J That danger must be accepted, even as the navigator must accept the peril of storms at sea as a condition of his calling. , But there is a volcano of which tho , obstructing republican senate has J good reason to be afraid. There Is a Mount Pelee that will i surely start into violent eruption if this session shall end without canal legislation the Mount Pelee of popu lar wrath. No legitimate excuse Is left for de laying longer the passage of the Hepburn bill and the building of the Nicaragua Canal. The railroads have been deferred to long enough. If they are to be al lowed to have their way we shall never get a canal at Nicaragua, Pan ama, Darlen or anywhere else. The American people have not for gotten the voyage of the Oregon, gentlemen of the senate. In the approaching congressional campaign the people will not accept explanations in lieu of action.
