RUSSIA'S CANAL PROBLEM. The United State is not the only country that Is struggling with the intricacies of a great canal problem. Russia Is considering the building of a -waterway, beside which the Nicaragua or the Panama canal would sink into insignificance, if the difficulties of the work were considered. The govern ment of the csar "has been planning for quite a time the Joining of the Baltic to the Black sea, by mean of . an extensive waterway1 constructed by his subjects; and It would not be at nil surprising it the frantic, work were to be undertaken at any moment The rtar' has plenty wt ... hls disposal, a had the Tharaohs of old for the construction of the pyramids, ami they are so thoroughly accustomed to yield obedience to the dictates of established tyranny that there would be no trouble In forcing them to do the work and at a cost, too, that would seem very small to the world at targe,. Three of the great RusMan river are to form part of the proposed canal the Dnieper, the Beresina and the Didlna but the channels of these streams will have to be deepened and Improved, and there are mllea upon miles of territory that will have to be excavated in order to bring them together In a continuous line. No haste Is being made In beginning this Herculean task, but the Russian en gineers are steadily at work on the preliminary plans, and there Is little doubt that. In the not distant future, the world will see ground broken for this great Russian canal. Russia win gain wonderfully, both as a naval power and commercially, by the building of this Immense wa terway. The efficiency ox her navy has long been weakened by the neces sity of her keeping it In three divisions one In the Baltic one In the Black sea, and the third In the Far East. To concentrate it In one place has been a difficult and time-losing task. But. with the canal uniting- the Bal tic and the Black sen, these two dl visions rsuld be quickly and easily brought together, in cases of emerg ency; and. as Russia is essentially a war power, this fact is really the main motive of the building of the canal. But commercially, too, great results would follow the completion of the work. Tt would open up the markets of the empire, so that they could be reached quickly by the trading- na tions of the world, and provide a means for sending the iroducts of Russia speedily to the markets that are seeking them. For coming genera tions of Russians the proposed canal would be an unmixed blessing;; but for the present generation, which Is to be forced to construct it, it will be s genuine a curse as were the pyramids to the wretched Egyptians who wore out their lives In laying the heavy atones that composed them. Several days ago the Astortan pointed out the brutality of the action of the officials of Pacific county. Wash., In holding up to the gate tt the public the crime of Httle Tillie and Viola Church, of Ilwaco, aged 15 and 12 years, respectively. The Pacific Journal essays a reply to the Asto rian's arraignment, and, in a lame ef fort to defend the action of the offi cials, acknowleges Just what the As torian contended that it was criminal to make en 'example of the children. The Astorlan is alleged by the little j Tlwaco sheet to be hostile to every Interest on the Washington side of the river, but the somewhat new editor has made another bad guess In this statement. The Astorlan appreciates that Ilwaco is a growing and prosper- ( century is shown by an enormous de ous town, and it hopes the place will ', mand for tbe world's best workers rrrr to irreatneiw. It h&s In the nast , Dr. King's New Life Pills. For Con- and will , . . . , , , , ... its power to help Ilwaco, but it will continue to denounce brainless officials who flaunt the offense of children to t . ... ,, ' I It seems there is still a Populist or the world in an effort to make of , ganlzatlon )n Kansas, but an enemy them an example to "other criminals." The Astorlan reiterates that Pacific county ought officials. to be ashamed of Its It Is' proposed to Increase tbe salar ies of members of congres to 17500 per year. The constitution says mat members of congres imall receive compensation to be fixed by law. The first congress voted that its members should be paid J a day and $6 for each twenty miles of travel going and coming. The scale stood until 181.".. when the pay was fixed at. $1500 per annum, and remained at this fig ure until 1817. Then the per diem method was restored and until 1835, or nearly rorty years, the pay or. congressmen and senators was reck oned at $8 a day changing In the latter year to $3000 a year, and In 1S65 to $5000. The famoua "salary grab," which brought defeat to so many numbers of congress, passed In 1873, raised the salary of the presi dent to $50,00 a year and of senators and congressmen to $7500 a year, as well as raised other salaries. The peo ple made such a protest that the bill was repealed as soon as the next con gress met and the pay of congress men and senators went back to $5000 a year, at which it has since re mained. ,' raE HORNING ASTORUN. LOVE lire only in the present. Nature throws a glamor around youth and maiden, so that although they saw misery and mar riage walking ham! in hand in every home in the world they would fondly believe that thrv could marry and defy misery. ...
