"STRATEGY AND SENTIMENT"
The canal (writes New Yoik Life) will bo nice for yachts that can afford to use it, and very handy for our government to send war fleets through in race-fright; times. Beyond that, we are assured by gentlemen connected by business or prejudice with the transcontinental railroad industry, the canal will have little to do. Never mind. We are building ifc for reasons of strategy and sentiment, to show, as Sam Patch said, that some things can be done as well as others, and to insure more composed slumbers to our loved ones on the Pacific Coast. It will be enough for thia generation to get the ditch dug. Let the next generation, make it pay. The job had been hanging on a long time to the discredit of human capacity. The dock had stiu<k for ifc to be fin- j ished up, and for our part we are glad I our country Utkled it, «i 4 A*«ry hopeful of the issue.
