TIE SIBERIAN RAILROAD.

Russia may be triile in the rear
as to some things. but when it comes
to railroad building. she is entitled
to a seat right up in front. Up to date
the government has expended $25S.-
100000 on the trans Siberian railway.
$65, 100000 more is to be expended this
year, and from S75,O90,00o to 100000
000 will have to be provided hereafter,
making a total cost of 1885,, 000,0 900, or
ut the rate of $4,000 per mile. This
is by far the most stupendous national
undertaking in all history. The Suez
canal is not in that class, neither are
the proposed water ways across the
Isthmus OF Panama. The cost Of ma
vies and armies do not approach the
figure of Russia's expenditures on this
road. and it takes a rather big war to
equal this cost. Russia has built
this gigantic public work largely
for military reasons. but it has its
commercial side, and viii advance the
cause Of civilization in Asia.

DEWEY AND THE PRESIDENCY


The official and reiterated announce
ment by Admiral George Dewey that
he is willing to be candidate for the
Presidency-party rot mentioned-has
been received throughout the country
with varying degrees Of emotion. Very
many are surprised at this rather SUD
den change of attitude; very few are
seriously impressed. The great ma
jority Of people do not attach great im-
portance to the buzzing of the old sea
Gog's Presidential bee, because they
fail to discover an opportunity for him
to go before the people. AS matters
c,and to-day the candidates of the two
Great parties are well-defned, and few
question the results of the Democratic
CT Republican conventions, as to the
/ id Of the ticket The minor parties
VII cut no figure, as is usual and there
appears to be no possible chance for
the institution of an independent cam
paign, with Dewey as the star attrac-
ton.
What caused the Admiral to change
his mind and announce his willingness
to serve the people is a matter for
speculation. Dewey himself denies
that Mrs. Deweys ambition had any
thing to do with it. but says he was
,,road RI -,,slxo +ba an-,o,,,, ,o,,, y, =
he did by some of the most prominent
men in the country. Democrats and
Republicans alike. The Mrs. Dewey
idea appears to be popularity believed
in Washington, however, but there is
also a marked inclination to the opin-
ion that political enemies of Mr.. Bryan
may have had a hand in the matter
Be this as it may, the Admirals de-
termination will be viewed by large
majority of the people as an unfortun-
ate thing, for several reasons. Tho
American public now would prefer
him to remain at the head of the naval
establishment, where he would be hon
ored and remembered gratefully for the
services he has rendered the republic.
To have hip reiinquish the pedestal
upon which ele stood for the mire of
politics is to remove him many de-
grees from his old position, and may
subject him to ridicule. criticism, even
abuse and misrepresentation.

ROOSEVELT ON ucKIxnnY.

We gather from a recent interview,
at Logansport, Ind, with President
David Starr Jordan, of Leland Stan
ford University, that Governor Roose-
vei+, Of New York, has formed very
correct estimate of President McKin-
ley, his methods and policies, and that
estimate is one which the people are
in the humor to heartily endorse. Mr..
Jordan was asked these questions:
rs it Bryan's or McK.nley's view that
is gaining among the people,?
After all this talk, do you ask what L
Think" he replied. Let me quote you
Roosevelt on that. He said to ne last

again. He said: 'AIcKfnIey has
about as much backbone as toy
chocolate man that you see on the
confectioner's stand; he is a dread
full disappointment
But Mckinley has only been a
dreadful disappointment" to a COM
parative few. The vast majority of the
people long since knew him simply as
the executive officer of his managers,
ready at all times to do the bidding of
the little coterie who control the Re
publican party, and who have brought
that once honorable and hQEest polit-
ical organization to a point where its
remaining great and representative
men must unite in a chorus OF protest
against the things done at Washington
in the party's name. 1t may not re-
Guire even one more Puerto Rican
blunder to result in the sudden dump
ing of Mr.. Mckinley overheard as a
measure of relief for a laundering

Roberts and his advisors have appar-
