A THIRD TERM TEMPTATION.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Washington, old and worn out In the
service Of his country when he left office
at the end of his second term, in 1872,
took no part in politics afterward, but he
accepted the command Of the army when
there seemed to be a prospect of war
with France, during John Adams admin
istration. Many federalists, believing
that Adams could not be reelected, and
believing ALSO that he did not deserve to
be, prompted Gouverneur Morris in 1893
to write to Washington asking him to ac-
cept another term, so as to unite the hos
tile factions Of Washington's and Adams
party, but before the letter reached
washington he was dead.

The plan is not in its infancy by

road is all but established. We have
already named it The Trans-Alaska-Si-
berian railroad, and l have completed
the plans for its construction. These
plans have been approved by the

and when we have submitted the prop
osition ana given you government a
chance to look into il. | have mot the

enthusiastic over it rs we in Russia and
France have been.
This road ann be built. of course,
without our tunneling under the strait.
l am here as Il commissioner of Rus
sia to negotiate for the naturalization
of Behrin~ strait.
The matter of lunneling the stiait
is a simple one. With modern appliances
and the great strides engineers nave
made in recent years the problem is
simplicity itself. Remember the strait
is only $50 feet deep in the deepest
places.
The Dad will make a perfectly feas-
IDLE all-rail route from Paris to New
York. We figure that II will take $780,
900. 900 to build the road and make the
connecting links, but The money is
