WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The pres.
ident sent to the house to-day a
communication from the commits
sloner of pensions, in reply to the
house resolution calling for informa-
ton as to what amount of appro-
priations would be required an
nually to pay pensions during the
next twenty-five years, based on the
following conditions: If all claims
for pensions, arising from the war
of the rebellion, shall be adjudicated
within seven years, terminating
June 80, 1888, and if at
the end of that time, the survivors
of the war with Mexico, and their
widows, shall then be pensioned at
eight dollars per month. the COM
mittee estimate the amount which
will be required for twenty years,
ending with 1906, at $1,347, ,651 ,593,
of which 81, ,264, ,229,9 are rebellion
claims claims fled prior to June
80, 1880, S3,150,OO0. The rebellion

CoNaREssMEN who think that
they can frighten the Mormons by
introducing bills, are sadly mistaken.
If they could have been exterminat-
ed in that way it would have been
accomplished long ago, but in view
of the fact that existing laws are not
enforced, no new law likely to be
enacted will strike terror to the
Mormon's heart. A new regime
must assume control at Washington
before polygamy is regarded as a
crime worth attacking in earnest.

ABOUT CANALS.

The people of New York State seventy
years ago built or cut the Erie Canal,
$50 miles long, at an expense of $780,
600. The State then contained only
about 100000 people, or les than Cali
fornia to-day. they were also much
poorer than thoss Of California, while
at the same time q dollar then vas
worth q much a. two dollars nov. The
task assumed by the people Of New YORK
in cutting the Erie Canal vas . ne lees
one than Il would b today for The pso-
ole Of Washington Territory TO under
take a work in which was involved an
expense Of 100000, or the county OF
King q public work in which was In
volvsd an s1psnss Of $4,000. And the
Erie Canal was almost the making of
the great city and State Of New York.
Until its completion il was . question
between Boston, New York and Phila-
delphis, which question would perhaps
never hays been settled but for the Erie
Canal. It was also question between
the States of New York and Pennsyiva-
MIA, with the chances TO that time In
favor of Pennsylvania. The effect OF
that canal was extraordinary, and the
people have ever since looked upon 1t as
the greatest factor in their permanent
prosperity and advancement. The canal
paid for itself, principal and interest,
within thirteen years Of the time OF its
completion. At the election Of the 7th
inst. vote was taken ON an amendment
to the State Constitution, making the
canals free forever, and it was decided
affirmatively by the most enormous ma
iority ever given any candidate or meas
ure before the electors Of the State.
We have a little canal TO dig here in
King County. 1t is to connect the wa
tsrs OF Lakes Union and Washington.
and will cost only the paltry sum OF ten
thousand dollars. It would open to our
town direct, Immense inland naviga-
ton, giving fresh water frontage and
commerce az we'll as on the salt water.
1t would benefit every part Of the coun-
ty, would prevent floods, would open to
the public a magnificent agricultural
region, would dot tho beautiful lakes at
our back doors with sail craft and
steamers, and would. unaided, add to
the population Of our city thousands OF
souls and millions Of taxable property,
and all for ten thousand dollars.
