A GREAT RAILWAY.
The Four -Thousand-N Mile Road That Runs
 Through Siberia.


 The most interesting portion of Russia's great 4,000-mile railway is the steam ferry across Lake Baikal in central Siberia. The lake, says the London Sphere, has an extent of over thirteen thousand square miles, and Is more than twice as wide as the Eng fish channel at Doyer In places it is as deep as 4,500 feet, and parts of 1t have never been plumbed. It is sur rounded by some of the hardest noun talnS which a railway engineer could encounter. The official plan of the Iransslberian railway includes a rail- way round the southern end of the terminl, but the enormous difficulty and expense, which is an important matter to Russia at the present time of constructing such line conspire to indefinitely postpone it's completion. At present, therefore, the railway is broken in two by this huge Lake Bai- kal, the western shore terminus be- ing at Baranshiki, and the eastern at Mlsovaya To link the two ends with a steam ferry which would be able to break through the ice which covers +he lake fHH.S' - =. .I,=>.,-.ubei to May was cuuht'esg -.,--t--e4- ,,. --Ae-44~Ate "efk of the Yermak ice breaker in the Baltic.

MIDW hY IDEA
To Be Prominet Feature Of Pan Amer
 ican Exposition

jean Exposition
 That famous Midway idea of the Columbia exposition has become firmly associated with great exposi- tions ia general, and no great exhibit of states or nations has been held since that hss not had Midway of it's own, in most cases under that very name. When the Pan-American expo- silon opens next year at Buffalo it's Midway will be a prominent feature of the whole and will occupy a large ex- tent of space. It is said that almost one-third of the entire cost of the whole will be expended upon this one feature alone. Only high-grade attrac- tons have been given space to the Pan=American Midway, though 1t is said that over 300 applications for permits to exhibit there were received. One of the novel and elaborate pro- auctions that will be seen is the huge structure which is to afford innumer- able trips to the moon for the eXposi- tion visitors. There will be an airship Luna, skimming from the earth to the moon, passing myriads of stars. sweeping by comets and actually F ->..,,s the milky way nntn the ioIr- ney fg = Hsy Id at tie d0ofN"V to the palace of the man in the nooa.

any respect public sentiment can and will provide a remedy. To send a par tisan committee down here to get up a partisan report will not help anybody except those who will absorb the money appropriated by Congress, and it will stir up much ill-feeling It will serve to keep alive sectionalism.
 The item should be riddled in the Senate, and there are enough Southern Democratic Senators there to do it, and the more time they absorb in the do- ing of it the less time there will be for the discussion of the subsidy steal. They can thus kill two birds with one stone. At any rate they should talk the $25,000 item out of the civil service appropria- tion bill.

BILLIoN-AND-A-HALF CONGRESS.

From the New York World
 Senators Allison and Hale, both conserv- ative Republicans, in the course of the de- bate yesterday on the appropriation bills, confirmed the accuracy of the Worlds pre- diction, made a week since, that at this session Congress would nearly if not quite touch the sS0O, O,eOO 900 mark in it's sum total of appropriations.
 MT. Hale said they would be nearer $500, ,0OC GOO than $70O, ,0O0, 0OO," and Mir Ali son said "a fair estimate would be $76O, CO., coo or $7S0 COG, 000' Add to this the $71O,GO0 600 appropriated at the first session of the expiring Congress. and reach the rec ord-smashing total of S1, ,49O, 000,eO0 for a single Congress. And it seems but yester- day that the country held itsssbreath in wonder and alarm at "a billion-dollar Con- gress." 8
 Nor is there the least mystery as to the prime moving cause in this enormous up- ward movement in appropriations. Senator Hale put much in little in his remark yes- terday that our military budget alone for the coming year will call for $4Oo, 900, ,Oo0- twice as much as any European power is spending

School Bills Turned Down,

Nine members of the House commit tee on education have practically voted that school books should be supplied in Alabama at trust prices-that copy hooks, trust made, should be sold at ten cents when homemade books equally as good are sold in Tennessee at three cents.
 The book trust backed by the inter- ests that receive it's free-handed com missions, have the whip hand and the last Legislature under the old consti- tuition bids fair to make an unenviable record.
 The Gunnells bill is also hung up. It is bill in the interest of the barefoot boys and girls of the State, and it, too, infringes upon vested rights"-the right of teachers to take the public money, and to seek fees from individ- uals at the same time, giving at no time a well-defined free public school. It is a bill to establish such schools in the State, and it is opposed by the pay" teachers, as the school book bill is by the book trust and it's agents and bene- ficiaries throughout the State.
 And yet it goes without saying that there should be free public schools in the State when the State is making magnificent appropriations. It is plain the people do not want to be exploited by the book trust, which now cries out in favor of county uniformity. County uniformity is not uniformity at all. It vas tried in North Carolina, and it re- suited in as many scandals as there were counties. The Legislature of North Carolina is preparing to abolish it, and establish State uniformity. The trust is supreme in Alabama alone After all, the responsibility rests upon the people, who are not careful enough in the selection of representatives. They must now pay the cost of carelessness. They must submit to the exactions of the pay" teachers and the eXtortions of the book trust

Culture set it's seal on joy, and men knelt to kiss the sign of the covenant.

civil war did arise and was fought out, the men on the one side being as con scientious as the men on the other side. This is what Forsyth demanded, as we understand it, in its bonfire, and that bonfire is endorsed in every town in the South, and it should be endorsed by every town in the North also. No one wants another civil war like that. No one ever will want one. There is no sense in books of the Ellis sort.

 The Democrats in the United States Sen ate are making a magnificent fight against the Hanna-Payne shipping subsidy bill. They have given the Republicans notice that they will in turn speak day and night from now until the 4th of March before
  and pass this iniqutous measure. Ex-Sena- tor German of Maryland. who resides much of his time in Washington, has been ad- vising the Democratic Senators, and under his shrewd advice it is admitted by the Republicans that the Democrats have it in their power to defeat this measure. Sena- tor Hanna himself is so much interested he is advising a continuation of the fight to the exclusion of the appropriation bills. which would mean extra session of Congress. If he can't pass this subsidy bill at the regular session Hanna seems de- termined to force an extra session for the purpose of passing it. He has promised it's adoption and seems determined to fulfill his promise.
 As the bill stands it is nothing more nor less than a treasury grab It simply pro- vides for tremendous annual appropria- tions for steamship lines already in exist ence, and 1t is seriously doubted whether it would lead to the establish ment of 2 single new line of steamships from any Att lantic or gulf port.
 In the sundry civil appropriation bill which has recently passed the House of Representatives in Washington and Is now pending in the Senate, an appropriation of $25, 900 is to be made to defray the expenses of a special committee to investigate the
