"Thnt Is nn Innocent looking resolution and It enmo near netting past rac," re marked the mayor yesterday as he scanned tho measure adopted by the coun cil Inst Tuesday night, which authorizes tho Hoard of Public Works to repair all paved streets In the city "to tho extent of and within tho limits of the funds avail able." "111 Just veto this," continued tho mayor, "because It looks to me like an at tempt to repavo Sixteenth street under tho KUlso of repairing. Tho Hoard of l'ubtlc Works nnd tho council will never get ray approval of such an undertaking. If they want to repair tho Sixteenth street pave ment they will hove to do It on their own responsibility nnd then they will run up ngalnst tho Injunction granted by Judgo Kstello. "Tho Hoard of Public Works has the right to mako ordinary repairs without so curing special authority from tho mayor anl council and It Is plain to bo seen that tho object In putting this resolution through Is to get tho mayor and the coun cil on record an authorizing tho repair of Sixteenth street. On tho question of repairing that street I stand now Just whero I havo nlwaya stood contending that tho street needs to lie repaved and tho expenso of tho work should be put upon tho abutting proporty. To repair tho street would only bo to waste from (5,000 to J 10, 000 of tho taxpayers' money, as It would only bo a Bhort tlmo until tho pavement would ngnln bo In bail condition. "Sixteenth street ought to bo repaved at tho expenso of tho abutting property and not repaired nt tho expenso of the general taxpayers. Tho majority of taxpayers aro poor people, who have no horses and car riages to drive, and when thuy travel on Sixteenth strcot they go In tho street cars." They aro not tho people who would get tho benollt from tho rcpavlng. Prop erty nlong that thoroughfnro brings high rontojs and tho owners of tho property con well afford to pay for n now pave ment.

Labor Day Views (Copyright, 1001, by Collier's Weekly ) One year ago all Inquiries as to wages nnd prices indicated beyond question that never in tho history of tho country wero wages so high, while prices, although on the whole higher than at previous periods, had not advanced at the same pace that accompanied tho advance in wages. In fact, upon many articles prices had fallen, especially relative to those prevailing dur ing tho two preceding years. Speaking broadly, then, the relative purchasing power of money at this time In I'jOO was higher than It ever had been. High wages nlono Indicate prosperous conditions, but when pricej remain practically stationary whllo wages advance the real wage Is as sured and the economic condition of labor established. During tne lost year this satisfactory' condition has been maintained. To bo sure, thero have been fluctuations in trade and production, but these fluctuations havo not been sharp and severe to such an ex tent 03 to disturb general conditions. The volumo of production has steadily In creased. Wages here and there have been reduced slightly to meet tho reduction In orders In somo lines. Comparatively speaking, the volume of production has en abled employers to keep labor employed up to the best limits of prosperous times and so fully that we hear but little of the army of unemployed. Tho constant expansion of our foreign trado means tho extension of all our Industries and this means good wages and fairly constant employment. Many have thought that tho prevalcnco of strikes during tho last two years means tho decadenco of Industry. On tho con trary, as has been pointed out so many times, strikes ore more frequent during good times than when Industry Is de pressed. This is natural and logical. The great steel strike in Pennsylvania ought not to be considered as a discouraging element In production, for It Is not the ro sult of grinding conditions or of grievances real and fancied; nnd had times been dull nnd orders scarce It would not hove taken place. Strikes succeed when business In brisk to a far greater extent than when It U depressed. Looking tho field over broadly, and con sidering tho fluctuations that must accom pany Industry at all times, It is safe to con clude that comparatively the labor situa tion now is moro satisfactory than It wns a year ago. Wo cannot now at once ss curo tho statistical data to sustain this con clusion; but wo havo the data to shew clearly that ono year ago, a stated, the French Views of the Canal Under tho date of Paris, August 13, Waltor Wollmau, tho noted correspondent, writes to the Chicago Itecord-Herald as follows: "Tho Nicaragua canal Is an engineering Impossibility. It will never be built. The American people aro tho richest In money and in energy to bo found in all tho world, but they aro not rich enough to construct a canal on the Nicaragua route." ThU Is tho omphntlc Judgment of a man who may bo worth listening to. It Is M. Phllllppl nunau-Vnrllla, who thus condemns tho Isthmian routo of tho great majority ot tho American people. M. Dunau-Varllla Is n distinguished engineer. Ho was onco. In chargo ot tho bridges aud highways of tho department of the Seine. Ho was afterward chief engineer of tho Panama canal, and under his administration a largo part of tho actual excavation at Panama was carried on. It is truo that this engineer is an eager partisan of Panama. It Is truo that ho Is a prejudiced witness, and that ho has recently mado a valiant though unsuccess ful effort to rouse anow French sentiment and to enlist moro French capital for fin ishing tho great work with which ho years ago had such an Important connection. At tho samo tlmo It may be worth the whllo of America to listen to his argument. It Is well understood that next winter tho congress at WashIi;ton Is to mako an ef fort to reach a conclusion concerning tho isthmian canal. There Is small doubt that all treaty difficulties will be. cleared away, leaving the United States free to go ahtnd In any way It chooses. Tho problem to be solved Is not, Shall a canal bo built? That has been already decided by public opinion In America. Tho question is, Which route shall bo adopted Nicaragua or Panama T "I do not say that tho Nicaragua canal Is a physical impossibility," explains M. Bunau-Varllla. "If you Americans wero to sot about It you could do nnythlng. If you wished you could build n canal straight through tho ontlre expauso of your great country, from tho Atlantic to tho Pacific, plercltig tho Allegheny and Rocky moun tains and crossing the Mississippi nnd other great rivers. But such a canal Is on engineering nnd commercial impossibility. So is that of Nicaragua. "If American public opinion Insists upon constructing a canal at Nicaragua and your congress yields to this prcssuro and orders a beginning of tho work, I predict that It will novcr bo completed. After somo years tho enormity of tho dimcultlcs encountered will compel Its abandonment. I predict that nfter hundreds of millions havo been wasted In the imprnctlcablo Nicaragua routo your country will turn to Panama nnd thero finish the Isthmian channel Indicated by nature as the true and feasible route. "After a profound study of this entire problem I am willing to say, as an engineer who measures well his words, that It will cost $500,000,000 to open a canal through Nicaragua and that when it Is opened thero can bo no assurance of Us safety nnd preservation. It may bo destroyed by floods or earthquakes. Even if kept open ltB suc cess Is doubtful on nccount of tho hazards which ships must Incur In passing through It and tho high rato of lnsuranco they will bo compelled to pay on account thereof. "Tho difficulties of tho Nicaragua routo nro not found In piercing tho continental backbone propor. Hi cutting tho ridge be tween tho Pacific nnd Lnko Nicaragua It Is only necessary to make a channel seventeen miles long and rising only forty-five feet nbovo tho waters of the lake, whereas at Panama the cut Is forty-flvo miles long and tho continental backbono rises 32fi feot above tho waters of the two oceans. If ves sels now had free access from the Atlantic to Lako Nicaragua and It were only neces sary to find the way of carrying them In from tho lake to the Pacific there could bo no doubt ot the advantages ot the Nica ragua route. It would be Infinitely prefer oblo to tho Panama project. "Ilut when we examine tho work which must bo dono between Lake Nicaragua and the Atlantlo wo find a series of dlfllcultles so great that they may fairly bo called physical Impossibilities. "It Is necessary to construct In the bed of the Itlver San Juan for a distance of fifty miles a channel fifteen or twenty foat do p, market today, both being quoted at 11.25, with more probability of peachei balng lower than of a slump In the potato market. (Irnpos aro lower than for tomo time. The quotations of the association ihowed sales at 17 to 20 cents a basket, but excel lent stock Is easily secured at 10 cents from thoio outsldo of tho organization. Other prices wero generally steady, th quotations being: Onions, $1 per bushol; pickling onions, $3.75 per bushel; cucumbers, 30 to 60 cents per bushel; plums, 10 cents per basket; apples, 40 to 90 cents fee relatlvo purchasing power of money, or real wages, had then reached tho very highest mark in the economic history of the country, nnd It Is certain that nothing has occurred since then to destroy that con dition; white, on the other hand, much has been done In the way of expanding In dustry, and bo much that the conclusion Is warranted that now tho situation Is even better than It was a year ago. The con stant Increase In the mechauclal Industries In tho south and there can be no doubt of this Is a sure proof of continued prosper ity. Tho Increased volume of exports of manu factured products Is convincing cvldcneo of remunerative employment. The most tatlsfactory evidence, however, lies In tho fact that, notwithstanding tho numerous strikes of the present year, employers and employes aro coming nearer nnd nearer to gether. They are taking more and moro pains to understand tho real conditions of production, and this effort Is leading to moro peaceful conditions everywhere. When a great strike can tako place and not to based on grievances the Industrial world must be advancing to n higher plane, where principles only arc to bo considered. CARROLL. V. WltiailT. Labor day, 1001, Is tho first of tho new century, a century to bo fraught with mo mentous results In every Held of human activity. In spite of the fact that we havo occasionally great industrial disputes, yet the organized labor movement in Its es sence Btands for industrial peace, and pro tents' n rational method for tho Inaugura tion of fairer and moro Just conditions for all. Tho trades-union movement carries tho scorn of many cruel battles of tho past. It exemplifies all tenderness and genuine smypathy with the sufferers of tho pro cnt. It voices the hopes nnd aspirations ot tho masses for future freedom nnd Justice, At no tlmo In tho history of tho wor'.d havo the workers demonstrated moro clearly their purpose to not only bo Just, but to do mand Justice. They rcallzo that without organization, In this day of concentrated wealth and Industry, their Uvea and their liberties aro doomed. They have organized, and nro organizing, with greater rapidity than over. Tho carn cstnws of their expressions, the sincerity of their nctlons, the solidarity of their movements, tho fraternity which they en gender, nil bespeak a brighter future for all who toll, for all who arc dependent upon them. This bed of tho Snn Juan Is composed of sand and mud. Tho currents of tho stream are tu places very rapid. Floods aro Iro quent. Numerous tributary streams pour Into the San Juan, their waters filled with all sorts of debris. It such a channel wero onco exenvated in the soft bed ot this stream It might bo destroyed In six months. All tho probabilities aro It would not last a year. There could novcr bo an abso lutely safe passage for any ship always tho danger of the current breaking away those mud banks, lining tho water way and stranding tho ship. Nothing but masonry of the most gigantic proportions could glvo a permanent and securo channel, but It U impossible to put in such work because there la no foundation for It. It onco put In its bottom would bo undermined by tl.c currents and tho whole thing would tumblo to pieces. I havo great respect for tho distin guished engineers who compose tho Amer ican Isthmian canal commission, and I shall bo surprised If they do not point out tho Impossibility of successfully constructing a permanent canal In tho bed of the Snn Juan. A canal cut through tho hardest rock would be much cheaper In the end. "Nor Is this all, though It Is enough to condemn tho project In the mind of any experienced engineer. The plans call for a great dam across tho San Juan valley n dam 140 feet from base to summit, tha lower thirty-five feet being below tho bod of tho river, nnd thereforo to bo executed only by compressed air. Think of building such a dam, nearly a mllo In length, and In a country almost constantly disturb, d by earthquakes, in a country of marked vol canic activity. Slxty-flvo years ago a vol cano In tho neighborhood erupted a mass of rocks equal to tho total volumo of excava tion needed for tho Nicaragua canal. It should not be forgotten that thero Is now In Lnko Nicaragua an nctlvo volcano. "It la not necessary to be an englnoer to understand that a masonry work llko this, of colossal proportions nnd constantly subjected to tho pressures of tho watois, tould not withstand an carthquako shock. Even If tho shock wero only sufficient to open a Blight fissure tho pressure and rush of the waters would quickly complete tho work of ruin. Engineers know tho dangers of this sort of work. And as to tho feasibil ity of maintaining a canal In tho soft bed of a tortuous, rapidly flowing stream, nt a depth of twenty-flvo to thlrty-dvo feet, tho history of cnglnerrlg art show3 that this cannot bo done. Th a sort of work has failed again nnd ngaln, oven when tho depth sought wns only thrca or four feet. Such channels Invariably go to pieces. "In tho center ot Lako Nicaragua shlpi would havo deep water and perhaps amplo senroom In caso of storms. But what shall bo said of tho canal which It Is ncces ary to dig through tho shoal waters on lha eastern edgo of that lako for a dlstanc3 of about twenty miles, between tho lako proper and tho San Juan? If a ship In passing through this nnrrow channel should bo caught In one of tho violent stcrms which rago in that country, how aro It navigators to avert stranding and wreck in the muddy shoals which llo on cither side? "If wc grant for tho sako of nrgumont that all these difficulties may bo overcome, there arc still others qulto as formidable. Experience has shown, that tho navlgatlcn of n great ship-In a narrow channel Is not as easy nnd simple ns It appears to bo. Experience In tht Suez canal has shov n thnt tho shortest desirable radius of curve Is 10,000 feet, and that oven In exceptional cases tho minimum cannot bo reduct'd be low 8,000 feet; and this must be for navi gation In calm water ami without violent winds. In tho Panama canal thoro will b twenty-three curves, of which three only nro at tho working minimum of 2,600 met ers rndlus (about 8,000 feot). In tho Nic aragua route, on account of tho numerous turns and twists of tho San Juan, tbera nre to bo, according to the plnns of lha American onglnocrs, no fewer than eighty two curves, nnd of this enormous number elxty-nlne havo a radius shorter than tro minimum of 2,600 meters, and of th'sa bushel, crag apples, 75 cents per bushel; to matoes, 25 cents per baskot; sweet potatoes, J6.50 per barrel; canteloupes, 25 to 60 cents per dozen; celery, 60 cents prr dozen; egg plant, 40 cents per dozon; radishes, 20 to 25 cents per dozen; lettuce, 25 cents per dozen; cabbage, 3 cents per pound; beans, 40 to 60 cents per basket; watermelons, 5 to 40 cents each; corn, 8 cents per dozen; galzlfy, 20 cents per dozen. , Local peaches aro on the market and aro of far better quality than those which are shipped In.

It proposes to build up, to develop, to re Juvenato humanity. It stands for tho right. It Is the protestant against wrong. It I ho defender of the weak. Its members make tho sacrifices and bear tho brunt of battlo to obtain moro equitable and humano conditions in tho everyday lives of all our people. Labor day marks a new epoch In tho nnnals of human history. It differs es sentially from other holidays of tho year in any country, for It glorifies no armed conflicts or battles of man's prowess over man. It Is In tho best senso tho modern knight hood In defense ot tho tolling men, women and children of our day. Though now sanctioned by the laws of stato nnd nation) Labor day labor's holi day was celebrated by organized labor long beforq any legal enactment. No mar tial glory or warlike pomp signals Labor day. Tho marching hosts ot workers manifest their growing Intelligence and their una Iter nblo determination for tho effacement of tho unnatural and brutal causes that Impel man to raise his hand ngalnst his brother. Splendid as has been tho progress In organization and federation within tho recent past, yet there Is much to do to convince tho yet unorganized workers that their duty to themselves, their wives nnd children, their fellow-workers, their fellow-men, Is to organlzo and help In tho great cause. Tho confidence of tho Indifferent, negligent or Ignorant nonunton Ists must bo won or regained. Let us Im press on his mind that he who will not stand with his brother for tho right Is equally rcsponslhto with tho wrongdoer for any wrong done. Tho organization of tho workers not only quickens tho consclcnco of those Inclined to tho wrong, but creates a healthier public opinion regarding the great cause for which tho union stands. Hence unionists are urged to devoto themselves unfalteringly and persistently to the work of bringing nonunlontsts within tho folds of tho or ganizations. Tho workers can bo free. Justlco nnd right can nnd must bo proclaimed, cstab Hshed and maintained. The full reallzn tlon of theso principles enn como only by tho work and sacrifices, If necessary, of tho hosts of unionists through whoso earnest effort must bo fulfilled their mission to unito tho world of workers, SAMUEL GOMPKIIS. Nicaragua Route Pronounced Impracticable. Blxty-nlne as many as fifty have such a small radius as 2,200 meters. "Add to theso many difficulties of hand ling largo ships tho rapid current ot the river and tho enormous dlschargo in flood seasons of the affluent, reaching often a total of moro that 100,000 cubic feet per second, and taking !n consideration also tho vlolcnco of tho winds which blow n largo part of tho year through tho San Juan valley and over Lako Nicaragua, to say nothing of tho earthquakes and their possibilities, nnd I havo no hesitation In saying that the Nicaragua canal Is probably not constructnble, would soon bo destroyed by natural agencies If constructed, nnd It opened nnd kept open for n certain length of tlmo would offer small Inducements to ships on nccount of the great dangers of Its navigation." "Of course, you think tho Pannma route greatly superior to Nicaragua?" . "Certainly, Tho superiority is so great that I am amazed thero can bo any ques tion of choice. If both canals wero open tomorrow I venture to say that ten ton3 would pass through Panamn to ono through Nicaragua. Tho Nicaragua routo Is preg nant not only with known difficulties, but with thoso which are unknown. No ono can foresee tho new obstacles which may arise, though those already perceived aro fatal. At 'Pannma, on tho other hand, we know precisely whero wo stand. Wo know Just what we can do, and how much It will cost. "Tho problem nt Tanama presents no un usual features. It Is simplicity Itself. Thora nro no unknown quantities to embarrass and defeat. Tho work is on a gigantic eca!o, but thnt Is all. It 13 slmplo as tho Ugglng of a drainage ditch upon a fnrm, only so much tho larger an operation. "Tako a glance nt tho project nt Panama. In tho first 40 kilometers (2S mlloi), from Colon to Obispo, thero nro only two points where they havo had to excavato deeper than 29 feet, which form, tho channel proper; nnd theso exceptions nro between kilometers 22 nnd 24 and between 43.5 and 46, whero tho deepest excnvatlon Is absut 47 feet. From kilometer 45 to 56 tho deep est excavation is about tho same, the mean being much lower; save nt Culebra, tho famous "cut," whero tho depth originally was about CO feet, which has now been reduced to about 46 feet. From kilometer 56 to kllomoter 75 that Is to say, to tho Pacific thoro Is no excavation deeper than 40 feet, savo at ono point, whero it increases to 47 feet. Changing tho plans from thoso which called for a tldo-watcr canal, as designed by Do Lcsscps, to n lock canal, which Is tho present project, has disposed of tho enor mous difficulties which formerly led to tho conclusion thnt the Panama canal could not bo built. The mountains of Corrozlta, of San Pablo, of Bohlo, havo disappeared. Tho bugbear of tho Culebra "cut" hoB prac tically disappeared, nlso. All the great problems and all the doubts and fears havo gone with them." "But nro thero not other enormous diffi culties, such as control at tho Chagrcs rivers?" "Yes. We must havo a dam at Chagrcs, though that Is not a work of any great diffi culty and can be avoided If thought best by Installing a system ot pumps. Tho Chagrcs Is no longer an 'elephant on our hands' tinder tho new plan. Tho samo Is truo of tho nohlo dam, which tho American official engineers havo declared a slmplo affair. "This Is tho Pannma route. Compare It with Nicaragua. One Is simplicity, cor talnty, success Tho other is full of prob lems and dangers and almost suro to ho a failure." "How much money will bo required to finish tho Pannma project?" "Five hundred millions of francs, or $100, 000.000 I have shown my faith In the enter prise by offering to subscrlbo 1,000,000 francs of tho new capital required. I am sorry to pay that tho money Is not coming for .ward. Nevertheless I am opposed to selling tho property to America. Tho prldo of Franco forbids any such sacrifice." Mirlttiiliiur Slrlliex Golfer.
