The Russian Government will be-
gin next spring to build its 1850
mile railroad across Siberia. This Is
a big undertaking. and its estimated
cost is 1920 .00O,0 900. This is an age
when the cost of any project, however
enormous it may be, provided it gives
promise of a reasonable source Ofpro-
tit, is never considered an obstacle.
Large sums of money, almost beyond
human comprehension, are raised
without any apparent difficulty. Such
a scheme as the bridging of the
English Channel easily finds willing
capitalists eager to undertake it. A
scheme to pin the three Americas to-
gether by gigantic railroad, thrust
through them like needle, has al
ready taken shape, and an assocla-
ton has been formed to carry the
plan into eXecutiOn.-Boston Globe.

THE Waco Day has been having an
experience. The city has on hands
some paving contracts and the man
ner in which those con tracts are car
ried out moves the Day to remark:
Somebody, besides the contractors,
is to blame for the character of the
paving done on Franklin street. AS
long as the work was allowed to pro-
coed contrary to contract stipulatiOns
it was hardly to be expected the con-
tractors would object They had
agreed to do a certain class of work.
but if the city was satisfied with an
interior job ii was expecting most too
much of human nature that the con-
tractors should demur very loudly.
Somebody had the power to enter a
protest and stop the. inferior wOtk.

view of the fact that similar things
are like, as the lazy devotee did when

respectable citizen Of Bangor went into
notorious rum shop in that city the other
night and bought some liquor. He after
words complained of the seller and had him
punished. For this act the aforesaid respec.
table citizen finds himself soundly berated in
the Commercial of that city and held up to
public scorn as an informer. We have
no sympathy with a man that DELHI
erately tempts another who is or
dinarily law abiding to break a law.
whether it be the law against larceny or rum
selling, and then complains of him. A man
who does that is morally particeps criminis.
But this case in Bangor was not case of
that kind. 1t was notorious that this saloon
keeper was an habitual rumseller. Violating
the law was his business. But the most of
MS customers were of kind who would
not testify to his transgressions, so he
was able to go on day after day vio-
lating the law with impunity. Mr.. Wheel
den, for that was the respectable citizens
name, thought it was time his defiance of the
law was stopped, and so he purchased
of him some liquor simply that evidence
OF the nature OF his business might be forth
coming. MIR. Wheelden merely exposed the
mans business. Surprising instead of being
rumseller this man had been dealer in stolen
goods, and Mr.. WheeldeD, knowing it, had
bought of him coat and then carried it to
the police and had the man arrested on the
strength of it. The moral quality of that
act would have been precisely the same as
the moral quality of the act of which MIR.
Wheelden was guilty. In that case would
the Commercial have held him up to public
contempt, and If not, why not?

received through the mail on Tuesday
the following printed notice.
WANTED

-. BY many citizens, that test vote be taken at
the March election, by yes and no ballots to de-
eide whether or not II is the sentiment of our cit
zens that the liquor law should be enforced in
Portland.
There is no reason to doubt that the pro-
iect spoken of in this circular is proposed in
good faith. The prom oters of it did not see
probably. that In civilized community and
in republican country, it would be an of
fensive as well as an impolitic thing to do, to
call for popular vote upon the question
whether or not policy established by the
constitution and the laws, shall or shall not
be tolerated in any locality.
1t implies that at the wish of majority of
the people the officials charged with the en-
forcement and administration of any law
may be justified in being false to their duty
as prescribed by the statutes and false to
their official oath. Every man of honor un-
derstands that he is bound to be true and
faithful to his duty as prescribed by the law
and his cath, whether majority of the peo-
pie it or not. Gen. Butler truly said /:
There is but one method of work in such
matters; let every law be honestly and faith
fully enforced If the law is not a good one
or not liked, repeal it.; but while it remains
upon the statute book, honestly enforce it,

Senator Buffers negro deportation scheme
served to excite long and earnest debate
In the Senate on the race question in which
the best ability of both sides was enlisted.
This is all it has accomplished and all il
ever will The scheme upon its face was
little less than absurd and wholly impracti-
cable. Whatever is to be the solution of the
negro problem the deportation of the colored
race of the United States is not destined to
figure in it. The negroes do not want to go,
and even if they did, it would be barbarous
act on the part of the American government
and blot upon our boosted civilization to
assist or even encourage them to go, in face
of the certainty that in Africa their copdi-
ton would be miserable and hopeless in the
extreme. To ship our Indian tribes off to
Greenland or some other desolate place
would not be more cruel than to deport the
negro in the condition he is today to Africa.

Mr.. M. ID. Harter of Ohio, in letter to the
New York Post suggests as a remedy for the
growing practice of electing men to the Sem
ale simply because they are rich, that the
State conventions of both parties nominate
candidates for Senators and recommend the
election OF the candidates SO chosen to the
legislature. The advantage of this plan
would be that the people would get chance
TO directly express their choice as to who
should represent the State in the Senate.
As 1t is now, the choice of Senators is made
by the legislators with no instruction from
the people except of most general kind.
One result Is that the legislators are mucn
more susceptible to the Establishments of
various kinds Of influences than would be the
case II they had been instructed beforehand
by the State conventions that Mr Smith or
Mr.. Jones was the choice of the Republican
or Democratic parties. In that case they
would feel bound to vote for the candidate
so specified, and the seductive doodle"
would have little effect upon them. OF
course there would not be anything legally
binding in nomination by State conyen-
tion. The legislators might vote for some
one else, but 1t is safe to say that none of
-tssaa- would do so, inasmuch az the people
would have the power to punish them at the
next election Mr.. Harter's remedy aims at
great and growing evil, and it is by no
means devoid of intrinsic merit

STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The present indications are that the winter
OF 1SS9-90 Will be the greatest ice season ever
known on the Kennebec, in point of quanti-
ty stored. Ice will probably never be sold
for the high figure it was once, on account of
the large increase of companies and the
enormous capacity Of the immense buildings
that line the river from Thwing's Point to
Augusta. A cold wave of long duration in
New York State would to some extent, have
a damaging effect on the quantity harvest
ed in Richmond. But one thing is certain,
every building on the river will be filled to
the brim before spring. for there was never
better freeze, or better ice to harvest. The
cost Of getting the ice this year has been
very little compared with work done in other
years. They have had no big snow storms
to remove from the fields, and in a very few
places has there been any planning done, and
the cold product for which Maine is noted is
in prime condition.
