RUSSIA SHOWS SENSE.

Russia does well to invite the Union
Iron works of California to build
some of her new warships. If the
Cars government had been wise it
would have known more about the
skill which this American naval con-
struction company devoted to its
achievements five or six years ago. In
that case it might have secured two OF
three battleships for the Vladivostock
and Port Arthur fleets, putting them
into commission by this time. AS ii
is, the larger vessels on the Asiatic
station now comprise ships built on
the Baltic and sent around, the period
of construction and the long voyage
consuming four or five years. The
same craft could have been built at
San Francisco and sailed over to Vlad-
livestock in three years. Apparently
Russia wished to have great fighting
vessels on the Pacific, but did not see
any way to get them there without
either letting England contract for
them, which her policy would not per-
nit, or undertaking them under the
prevailing Disadvantages on the shore
OF the Baltic. The key to the diff
Guilty was the hiring of the Union
Iron works to assist in Strengthening
her fleets.

now FOR THE CANAL.

Among the many lessons of the brie;
war with Spain already learned is that
which shows the necessity for short
ening the water distance between the
Atlantic coast and the Pacific coast OF
the United States. By going from New
York 10 San Francisco, around Cape
Horn, vessel has to travel ten thou
sand miles more than it would if a
canal connected the Gulf of Mexico
with the Pacific ocean.
1t took the Oregon sixty-five days to
go from the Pacific coast to Key West,
a journey which would have been &C
complished in less than one-half of the
time through canal. The Nicaragua
canal project has long been under dis
|cussion and it has long been admitted
as most desirable artificial water way
for this continent. The Panama canal
seems fated, and we do not fancy that
even doubts concerning the ability to
cut a canal through Nicaragua, but ca
pable engineers believe it can be done.
1t is largely question of money and
the proper expenditure of that money.
The Panama canal scheme was one
of plumber and simple, although nat
ural, difficulties came in the way. 1t
the Nicaragua canal can be built it
should be built The United States can
afford to put it through, and Nicaragua
will be the gamer thereby. It seems
absurd to have the Pacific coast and
the Atlantic coast separated by such
a tremendous distance on water, when
the expenditure of few millions of
dollars would open a passage through
the narrow isthmus joining North
America and South America.
The needs and necessities and the
advantages of the canal are apparent;
they are not imaginary. The canal in
times of peace would be profitable for
the commerce of the world. 1t would
make short cut for European vessels
and It would encourage the building of
more merchantmen in this country. AS
a valuable adjunct to our navy in time
of war-but may we never have more
of war-it cannot be overestimated. 1t
would be a matter of days instead of
weeks to transfer our warships from
one ocean to another. AS an adjunct
to commerce its value would be meal
culable. After the war with Spain Is
finished. we will have to take up, with
all seriousness, among other things.
the building of the Nicaragua canal.
1t is bound to be fact some day, and
the sooner the better.

OUR BUSY SEASON.

Some Of the business men of
this town who quit advertising
a month ago and retired into
their shells for the summer are
awakening to the fact that they
made a serious mistake. Here it
Is, nearly the middle Of June,
and more delightful weather
could not be wished for. The
farmers were never so prosper
GUS, and their money Is begin
ming to pass over the counters of
the merchants who keep their
names in the public eye. The
railroads are bringing more peo-
pie into Phoenix this summer
than they are carrying out. In
short, this is the busiest season
of the year for Phoenix mer-
chants who know how to do
business properly.
The men who will succeed in
the Phoenix of the near future
will be those who deal literally
in printers ink. 1t is the wide
awake advertiser, the man who
keeps hammering away. sum-
mer and winter, that gets to the
front in a growing town like
this.
Speaking OF advertising, come
to The Republican Office, inspect
our plant and particularly the
bundle of white paper that goes
into our daily edition. If you
desire to advertise for results
such an inspection will be worth
your while.
