PROGRESS IN CHINA.


 Though the Chinese government may be going to take step backward in recalling the young Chinamen who have been studying in this country, it is also about to take long step forward. Hitherto the Chinese empire has been closed against the introduction of such useful things as railroads and tele- graphs. When number of Englishmen at tempted to build short piece of railroad near Shanghai, the natives bought it up and destroyed it. Opposition to the telegraph has been equally strong. But the current of public opinionSis changing and now these in novations are proposed by the most infuen- tial Chinese statesmen, and are to be con- structed by the government itself. The two lines of railroad now proposed both start at Tientsin, and one line is to run to Pekin, the capital of the empire, and the other to Shanghai, the principal commercial port of China When these lines shall be in opera ton, with telegraph lines traversing the routes, the Imperial government at Pekin will be able to command by telegraph and railroad the rapid movement of troops from the inte- rior to the seacoast and the northern frontier in the same manner as the movements of troops and supplies are controlled by the most advanced and enlightened nations of Europe and America. Already there is tele- graphic communication between Pekin, Tient- sin and Shanghai, and movements are on foot which before long will end with the connec- tion of several other important points.
 It is probable that the threatening attitude of Russia has convinced the Chinese govern ment that without the railroad and the tele- graph the empire will not be so well able to protect itself as with them. But whatever the reason for the change of policy it will be B great thing for China. It is suggested that Americans also may profit by the change, for if the railroad system is to be carried to any great extent very large and important mar ket must thereby be opened to the enter prise of manufacturers of railroad engines, cars, rails and other supplies. Our manufac- turers will of course meet English competi- bion, but the matter seems worthy of their attention.

[Salt Lake Letter.l

 waving in the wind, bees humming and birds
 singing, like our July weather, while just be- | yond this, in the background, are the noun | tain tops covered with snow. It is the pret-
