The Canal AGE.

Thu little Warrior canal that Birming
ham needs to enable 1T to undersell the
whole world in the pig iron markets
an affair only thirty miles long, and not
very broad or deep, 10 cost a great and
rich people that annually give AWAY
s140,0O0,000, the sum of perhaps $10,000,-
000-such a canal seems small alongside
the canal that Russia will begin to dig
next spring.
The Russian canal Us to be 217 feet
wide at the ordinary water level, 1T
feet at the bottom and 2Sh feet deep.
The largest war vessels, instead of coal
barges, are to pass through it. 1t is to
be nearly 1000 miles long, connecting
the Baltic with the Black Sea. 1t be
gins at Riga on the Baltic s=a, following
the course of the river Duna to Duna-
berg, where the great excavations ex-
tending 125 miles will begin. These ex-
cavations will carry the canal to th=
river Beresira, which, together with the
river Dneiper, will be utilized to Cher
SON ON the Black sea. 1t is to be we'll
constructed, so that vessels may pro-
coed at uniform speed of six knots, thus
enabling them to pass from end to end in
144 hours. This necessttates the lighting
of the canal by electricity, to avoid
stoppages at night. The cost is Ito BE-
800, 000, 900, more or less. probably moro.
Like Birminghams proposed waterway
to the sea, the Russian canal will large
ly consist of canalized rivers. Unlike
the Warrior improvement, 1t is to be
finished in four years. There is, how
ever, no good reason why the Russians
should beat the American people in point
of time, the one work being as import
ant to American trade as the other is
to Russian trade. And as to war YES
sis, is it not desirable to have an album
dant supply of coal in Gulf port at
low prices.
Verify this is an age of canals. The
North sea canal in Germany, the Corinth
in Greece, the Suez canal in Egypt, the
short canal between Liverpool and Man
chester that cost $77,0OO,000, the Chicago
Drainage canal and the possible Panama
canal-all these are great works that
would net have been undertaken in any
other age of the world. May the War
rior canal be soon added to tins list!

The GAGE Bill in Congress.

In estimating the vote of the senate
upon currency Legislation the Age-Herald
overlooked THE altogether unique position
of Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire,
a very bitter republican except in cur
rency matters. He has recently empha-
sized his position, especially so far as
Secretary Cages bill is concerned. He
not only considers any currency legisla-
ton during the present session imposSi-
bfe, but he thinks the secretary's bill. If
furthar pressed, will create a turmoil in
congress, which will split the republic
cans into fragments, and unite and CON
sol1date the opposition.
1t is not feasible, he says, to retire the
grsenbacks, nor lis it feasible, in his
opinion, to turn the gresnbacks into gold
notes, or to pass bill authorizing bonds
payable in gold. An attempt to do any
of these things, says the New Hamp-
shire senator, will lead ito an ''uproaI"
in congress with western congressman
embroilsd thenein, business enterprises
and funds and stock will be disturbed,
prices Will fall insolvencfes increase, and
the republicans will lose the COMPRESSION
al election of 1898 beyod the hope of ia
vorabSe reaction in 1900.
These predictions over a leading add
ministration measure are certainly
gloomy enough. But as the republican
cake in 1898 will be dough anyway, it is
difficult to feel so badly over the matter
as the New Hampshire senator plainly
does. The administration will have an
angry lot of campaign subscribers to
confront il 1t does NOT push the Gage
bill; if 1t does push it, defeat in congress
