Railroad Construction.

Probably in most parts of the world the
period of very rapid construction of railroads of
the type now prevailing is passed away. Civil
lied countries are now pretty we'll supplied
with great traffic routes. There seems good
reason to think. however, that very light and
cheap railroads may take the place of ordinary
highways to great extent. If made so that
the freight cars of the heavy roads can pass
over them (as they have been sometimes, and
always can be), and limited to the very low
speeds at which alone a very thin traffic can be
economically conducted, they might very we'll
within moderate period rival in extent the
principal lines; but of heavy railroads intended
for fast pas, enger trains, the world has proba.
bly, built many more within the past fifty than
it will in the coming fifty years. This is a
great advantage. A large proportion of the
accumulated capital of the world has been of
late invested in this costly machine for facili-
tating exchanges. So far as it is now supplied
with railroads, the accumulating ca pital is left
free for other useful purpOees. And the energy
and talent heretofore largely expended ia their
construction. we may EXP sct hereafter to be
direc' I'd largely to improving them aud work.
ing them more effectively and economically.
Special applications of railroads, such as their
use for city and suburban traffic, may receive
more attention, and it is rea enable to suppose
that we will be able to reap grea. IT and greater
advantages from this comparatively new instru.
ment.
There are come who are disheartened at the
evident great imperfectiops in railroad trans
portaton as it exists, especially when they see,
as often happens, that recognised reforms are
not introduced. But these imperfections are
naturally to be expected in a comparatively
new art, especially since hitherto most attention
has necessarily been paid to the construction
of roads and rolling stock. To an earnest rail-
road man they should rather be an Indictment
to make his lest efforts. He has an oDportu-
nifty not merely to do what he has been taught
to do, but to do better than he has been taught
to make visible progress in his art. And if
he finds that it is not enough to find better
way in order to have it adopted-that routine
carelessness, stupidity, sefishness and venality
stand in the way of progress-why, he must
remember that these also are obstacles to be
overcome no less than mechanical difficulties
or complications in conducting business; that
indeed, these are the great obsts ,les to all re-
form, especially in great administrative bodies,
corporate or governmental, and that he must
learn to overcome them. A stupid superior is
certainly a much more disheartening obstacle
than defective material; but 1t is nevertheless
duty to do ones best in spite of either Rail-
road Gazette.

Russia and KhOkand.
[From the Pail Mall Gazette j

The Russian papers seem already to contem.
plate the annexation of Khokand by Russia
'Whatever nay have been said" says the ST.
Petersburg Gazette, Gin the English Paria-
ment about Russian progress in Central Asia,
the resistless power of events forces upon US a
new expedition similar to that against Khiva,
which will naturally be terminated with equal
success. The misfortune is that, with such
neighbors as we have in Central Asia, it is
positively impossible to decide where we are
to stop, however willing We may be to do so.
The frontiers are not clearly traced, foreign
territories are knowingly ravaged by plunder
ers, commerce and manufactures are equally
attacked, and treaties are not fulfilled. Then
come acts of violence, political revolutions,
religious and tribal fanaticism, so that one
arrives unwillngly at the sad conclusion that
there is only one way of making peace in
Central Asia-by brute rorce. Terror and
violence are the pillars of our rule iu Central
Asia; but they will open the way to European
civilization. Such policy will bring over to
our side even those races which are now
hostile to as. The Russians have
the faculty of attracting and absorbing foreign
nationaities-those at least which stand
on lower degree of culture than them
selves-for they love peace. and are free
from proselytism and religious animosity."
The Goloss adds hope that the aim of
the Russian expedition to Khokand will not be
merely punishment. Experience teaches how
little effect such punishments produce. The
Khokanders have been punished more than
once, but they have only become peaceful and
orderly when some of their necessarily DIS
turbed provinces were united with our terrific
ry. and peace was assured by Russian adm n
istration-not by the goodwill of half-savage
Khan. Both Taschkend and Khodjend, and
other parts of the present Turkestan district,
formerly belonged to Khokand, aud gradually
were brought by the force of events under our
rule. Disorder is now only to be found in the
professedly Independent and comparatively
small portions Of the ancient Khanate."
