CHICAGO, DAnVlLLE h EVANSVILLE
RAILROAD.

Before this time next yeaz-psrhaps be-
fore ne1t harvest--a new railroad will be in
operation from Chicago to Dauv1lle, which
will give this city continuous air-line road
to Evansville, on The Ohio River, which is
eighty five miles nearer to Chicago than
Cairo is by the Illinois Central.
6tarsingnt Chicago this new road runs
in southe1iY direction near the Indiana
line through an old and wc c.lth5 agricultural
portion Of the State, For much OF its
course the road pursuea the "Old Hubbard
Trail" which was long Hincs skirted with
line Of thriving to Fus and villages. More
than oue-thtrd Of its route Il directly over
ysst fields OF tho best coal in Illinois,
and where it crosses into Iodiana it paassa
through extensive deposits Of iron ore. It
also brings within few hou1s' ride Of Chi.
caeo the celebrated Brazil coal-feias Of
Indians, which furnish the best coal Tor

FUTURE POLIcY or THE GOVERNMENT on
ANNEXATION QUESTION.

II cannot be long before II will become
necessary for this Government 10 lend some
effective aid to the solution Of the political
and social problems which are continually
kept before the world by the two Republics
Of the Island Of ST. Domingo, and which are
now disclosing Themselves more distinctly
than heretofore In the Island of Cuta. The
subject Is commended TO your consideration
with all the more earnesiness, because am
satisfied that the time has arrived when even
so direct o proceeding as proposition for
the annexation Of the two Republics Of the
Island Of St. Domingo would not only re-
receive the consent Of the people interested,
but would also give satisfaction TO al oiber
foreign nations. ] am aware that upon the
question offurther extending our possessions
Il j. spprebended by some, that our political
system cannot successfully be applied TO an
area more extended than our continent: but
the conviction Is rapidly gaining ground IN
the American mind, that With the Increased
facilities for communication between all
portions Of the earth, the prncipas Of free
government. as embraced in our COnstifu-
ton, II faithfully mainfsined and carried out
would prove Of sufficient strength aud
breadth t. comprehend within their sphere
and influence the civilized nations Of the
world.
