The Nicaragua canal amendment
to the river and harbor bill, as
finally agreed upon, authorizes the
president to appoint a commission
of engineers to investigate the Nic
aragua and Panama canal routes,
and report to him in time for him
to report to the next congress, and
appropriates $1,000,000 to pay ex
penses.
Notbing but cood words are
heard of the appointment of ex
Governor Merriam, of Minnesota,
to be superintendent of the census.
ftlthnnch his nomination did not
reach the senate until a few min
ntoH hfifora final adjournment, it
was promptly and unanimously
confirmed. His business career
leaveB no doubt of his making a
success of the census.
The new army bill gives the
president discretion in the matter
rf rpnniitinff our armv from the
natives of any of the islands occu
pied by us, and, unless something
occurs to make such a step inad
visable, it is extremely likely that
many Cubans will soon be wearing
Uncle Sam's uniform. To enlist a
few thousand Cubans in our army
will be killing two birds with one
stone; it will reduce the number of
Americans who will have to be
kept on the island during the
sickly season, and it will give em
ployment to many who might be.
come troublesome if unemployed
The appropriations made by the
congress just closed were large in
the aggregate, but if any man can
point out any particular appropria.
tion that was not needed, he has
not yet done so. A large propor
tion of the total was for the war.
and to meet expenses consequent
thereon. For several years the
condition of the treasury, owing to
four years of democratic hard
times, made it necessary to scrimp
the appropriations for public
bnildintrs. many of which were
badly needed; these have been pro
vidod for, as well as important
river and harbor improvements
The republican party has always
believed in liberality in these two
classes of expenditures, when the
condition of the treasury would
justify it.
CONHIDEIUNQ that they controlled
only one branoh of the fifty-fifth
congress, the republicans have
every reason to be proud of the
record left by that congress, which
has been in several respects one of
the most remarkable in our history,
and which has played an important
part in the world's history. It did
not meet all the expectations of the
country, but it did much that was
good and left undone many things
it was urged to do that would have
been bad and unwise. It was wise
enough, for instance, to leave the
president a free hand to deal with
the Philippines while we are find
ing out what will be the best thing
to do for them. President McKin
ley fully appreciates the exteut of
the responsibility thus placed upon
him, as well as the great oompli
meut implied by this confidence in
him, and will, in accordance with
his usual custom, move cautiously
in all that he does. 11 is adminis
tration has been remarkably free
from mistakes in matters of im
portance, and it requires no gift of
propheoy to say that his official
ads will justify the confidence re
posed in him by congress and by
the people.
