The Visit of Air. Bryan.
T11K11K was a time when the
presence of lion. AV. J. Bryan
In Scrnnton would have been
the excuse for a vast amount
ot red lire and the sound of many brass
bands. On this occasion his coming
was tnilot and Ills solnpr will be unat
tended by a torchlight procession. Such
Is popularity. Yet tho man Is as great
a man as lie was six years ago. The
divine gift of oratory Is still his, the
swift sympathy, the splendid magnet
ism are yet as characteristic as they
were before his llrst defeat, lie Is
simply a martyr to an Idea. The chi
mera ot five silver Is to him as real
an issue today as it was In the im
passioned weeks when lie spoke against
the ""principles for which JfcKinley
fought and won.
In spite of his great popularity, in
spite of the broadening advantages ot
the political arena, Mr. Hryun has lived
u narrow life. Ills ideas have run in a
very small groove, limited by the con
fines of a section only of this great
country or ours. AVIth his superb in
tellect, his wonderful gift of utterance
and his fine ideals, he should noL be
the mail in be burled with nil issue
which is as dead for this nation as
Thotmes 111. No one lias ever termed
Mr. IJryan other than a good man.
That he is a mistaken one is due more
to environment than choice, lie has
lived too long in one little spot. What
ever may have been those mistakes,
our city is honored by ills visit. lie
represents a unique- type of American
citizen and one which in adherence to
principle it might be well if there were
more Imitators.

Engineering Projects of Russia.
A I Aim Siberian railway, accord
ing to the Commercial Ad
vertiser, seems to have been
only one of a series of great
engineering projects which have engag
ed the attention of the Russian govern
ment for many years. Its construction
has naturally forced other great public
transportation enterprises' into the
background; but now that It has been
completed and an outlet In the Xorlli
Paollle ocean assured other works of
equal or greater importance are being
projected and ate claiming the active
Interest of the government. The gen
eral aim ot these projects is threefold:
to realize as complete a communica
tion with the open sea as possible,
especially where Itusslan commerce de
mands It; to join northern and southern
lUtssln by a canal system for develop,
ing internal commerce; and to deepen
the Sea of Azof for commercial pur
poses as well as to create in central
Asia an inland sea which would in
crease the area of Lake Aral some six
or seven times, and at the same time
double the area of the Caspian sea,
whllo joining the ho seas by a naviga
ble channel.
The great engineering problems for
liussla in the future are, therefore,
mostly those of water communication
or of diversion of existing channels for
use In irrigation, A writer In the
March Forum, who has travelled exten
sively iinBusslu, explains these great
projects in detail. That which has
longcsj been advocated Is a great canal
aeross';Thiropean Russia from the Hal
tie lo'ftia fila'eU Sea, utlllning'the river
systems by joining the northward (low
ing Du.ua1 with tiie Dnieper. The tir
duousiatuve of tills undertaking does
not rliw.ro'ni 'the great distance to lie
dug tKvougli solid land, but from the
necessity ot deepening existing chan
nels tda minimum of twenty-eight feet
for alutut tt thousand miles. This canal
would traverse tlje best agricultural
soil ofHusltji, und the exorbitant rail,
way rales would make it a boom to the
whole implre by cheapening the trans
portutljiiof'gruhi, The estimated cost
of till canal Is .$100,000,000, but the
approbation ot so much money for the
Slberl.tii fd'ilwuy has necessarily at
feetedtlio' 'Immediate Jlmuiclui pros
pects rf any other great enterprises.
TberJ is also a daring und original
8chenieji(lQat-fori'deopenlng tho Sea of
Azof. .Tlitrf, and not c niuck Sea,
Is UiclnVmeutUQ southern outlet for
' ltusslaft commerce, and It will surprise
moat renders to know that It Is nothing
more fhuiV a shallow lugoou, nowhere
reaehlij; llfty feet In depth. This
shallowness paralyses the most mag"
nlflclenj system of water communica
tion iiuull Kurope the Vojgp, nnd Its
tributaries. It compels nea'golng ves.
sels tostund at u great distance' from
the ports, lu soiiio cases us fur as
thirteen' miles, unf load n tie open
roadsteads. .fl'he prouosed remedy for
this Is the deepening of tho sea nnd
the turning It Into n vast dock by the
construction of a dam, With locks and
sluices, netoss the Straits Of Kortch.
This scheme Is computed to cost less
limn $1,000.00, ultd promises speedy nnd
profitable returns.
A scheme which concerns a still
broader and more urgent phase of the
popular welfare Is the proposed crea
tion of an Inland sea lu central Asia,
Since emancipation of the serfs the
destruction ot forests lias I'ltuced a
marked decline In the humidity of the
'country. The result Is the increasing
liability to famine, always caused by
drought, and the forestry laws are an
liisuillclent remedy for this evil. Be
sides, the geographical position of Uus
sla Is Itself favorable to drought. In
many districts this drying process has
been going on until It has changed the
character or tho country. As an ex
ample it is Interesting to note that the
great Gulf of Albughlr, which was
crossed In boats by the Httsluns lu
1S39, In now completely dry. The Cas
pian sea has shrunk to half Its former
dimensions. Various remedies have
been brought forward at different times
for increasing the humidity and, con
sequently, the capacity for sustaining
an Increasing population In these vast
regions. The proposal most talked
about and favored Is that of diverting
the waters of the Tobol and Old, north
ward flowing rivers, Into central Asia.
The details of the scheme have been
worked out by M. Denichenke, an emi
nent nuslan engineer, In a book which
has gone through several editions which
Is estimated that over an area of noo,
000 square miles the rainfall would be
Increased so as to change the whole
character of the country, turning the
unproductive steppes and the deserts
of Turkestan Into land habitable by a
settled population.
As these schemes concern vitally the
development and even the safety of the
country, they will persist and will prob
ably be realized, or at least suggest va
riations that will. That they are well
calculated to Increase enormously the
food-producing and conierclal utili
ties there can be little doubt, and the
steady perseverance of Russia In
achieving her alms, combined with her
patience and the force of a. great his
toric tradition, can only fall to win
new engineering triumphs as notable
as that of the Siberian railway.
The stalwart Republicans of Susque
hanna county cheerfully traveled
through immense snow drifts to attend
the convention at Montrose the other
day In order to voice their political pre
ferences and vindicate party principles.
The Susquehanna Republican as a rule
Is composed of material that Is not
easily daunted by the elements or led
astray by sophistry.
The Dog and His Day.
CRAXTON Is not the only place
where the dog question has
been recently agitated. The
same condition of affairs has
existed In Washington and as a result
tiie commissioner of the District ot
Columbia lias approved the following
amendment to the statute already in
operation:
"If any owner or possessor of a llerce
or dangerous dog permits the same to
go at large In the District ot Columbia
to the danger or annoyance of the in
habitants, lie shall forfeit and pay a
sum not exceeding $20, and If such ani
mal shall attack or bite any person, the
owner thereof shall be fined not exceed
ing $30, and the dog shall be killed by
any metropolitan police officer, or other
person having like authority.
"This paragraph shall be construed
as applying to any dog running at
large, whether licensed or unlicensed,
and a dog which attacks persons, dogs,
or animals shall be considered as dan
gerous and an annoyance to the Inhab
itants In the meaning of tills act."
it would seem that this offers a prac
tical solution of the matter to the au
thorities ot this city as regards dogs.
It might also be suggested that if own
ers were required to register their ani
mals and If it were clearly understood
that dogs found loose without u collar
indicating such registration wore to be
conveyed to a pound, to be destroyed,
there would soon be a lessening of the
tramp dog evil.
Previous to last week the hill section
ot the city has for a long time been a
place to shun, as no rest, night or day,
could be secured from the hideous
howling, barking anil lighting of dogs
which swarmed over the streets in
groups of ten to twenty at all hours.
-Many of these seemed to be absolutely
ownerless and looked as It they sub
sisted by a scavenger system alone.
Since their removal there has been
peace. And while it Is to be regretted
ir any valuable animals were killed,
there are less tramp dogs In that vicin
ity. The manner In which the railroad
of this vicinity recovered from the ef
fects of tho recent snow storms speaks
volumes for the elllcient management
of the great systems. Within the past
few days the lines centering In Scrauton
have encountered obstacles hitherto al
most unknown in railroad operation In
tills purt of the country: and in fact
It was predicted that In some Instances
weeks would pass before passenger
trafllc could be handled with any do
gree of success, Tot lu spite of the
rorimtmuio opposition rrom snow and
floods the various lines have recovered
with marvelous rapidity, and by ex
change of courtesies have been able to
run trains nearly on time within a few
hours after a storm. The resolute
heads and Indefatigable workers In
charge of the railroads of northeastern
Pennsylvania are entitled to unstinted
praise for their enterprise lu the hours
of trial.
... .. .
An exchange calls uttcutluii to tho
discovery made In Chicago the other
day which may be of interest to lire
depattment ohloluls everywhere, There
was u lire in one of the "skyscrappers,"
tlnd, although not much damage was
done, It was noticed that the (lames
went up the elevator shafts with ex.
traordinury inpidlty, considering that
In this particular building there was
nothing for them to feed on. When nu
investigation was mado It was found
that the steaniplpes, Instead of being
covered with asbestos, as tho law de-
mauds, had been covered with some
Initammablo material. Them had been
one thin layer or nsbesios paper, then
n thick layer of felt nnd ilnatly a can
vass covering. When a match was put
to the felt It burned like tinder. The
discovery explained at once several
mysteriously rapid tires In "fireproof"
buildings, and a thorough Investigation
or pipe coverings all over the city Is to
bo made, Possibly It Would not bo a
bad plan to have Investigation made In
this city.
Philadelphia certainly will be unique
If the programme Is carried out to allow
mi' camera ilends to attack tho prince
during his brief stay In the Quaker
city. The Insurgent press will doubtless
yawp uliottt Ashbrldglsm but It this Is
Ashbrldglsm with regard to the enter
tainment of distinguished guests, give
us more ot It.
Reports of "discontent lu China" are
again abroad. The fact Is the Celestial
kingdom Is large enough to allow some
portion to be discontented most ot the
time without seriously nrt'ectlug the In
terests of tho country at large.
Palerson having experienced the
woes of a, Chicago lire and a Galveston
Hood, ought to bo permitted to enjoy
peace and prosperity from this time
hence.
Strange us It may seem no mention
Is made of baked beans in the reports
ot the banquet tendered Prince Henry
at Hostou.

regard to the rights of other nations In
China would look better In writing.
