The Entmre OF NIcxlrn.

ALEXANDER NoS HUMBOLDT declared that
Mexico was destined TO be the bridge for the
commerce of the world, and the active prose-
cution of the five great railway systems of
Mexico makes it appear that the time for the
fuhllment of the prophecy has arrived. First
comes the New York, Texas and Mexican
railway, known as the TELFENER enterprise,
in which Count TELFENER and his brother
in-law, Mr.. j. w. MACKEY, are deeply inter-
ostcd This is among the earliest, as well as
tho most heavily backed, of all the railway
enterprises that connect Mexico with the
United States. The Mexican Southern, known
as tho GRANT enterprise, has for its obicc-
tive points the cities of New Orleans and
Mexico, and its success is abundantly
assured. BY the aid of the governmental
railway from the city of Mexico TO Vera Cruz
this line will eventually command most of the
foreign freight landed at the Mexican ports.
Tho Southern Pacific, under the management
of Mr.. G. p. HUNTINGDON, will bring Mexico
in close communication with the states Of tho
union from the Golden Cato to Hell Gate, Tho
Mexican Oriental, International, and Inter-
oceanic is known as the GoULD.DE GREss sys-
tenn, and its far-rcachng designs viii accrue to
the benefit ofboth countries Tho Mexican Cen
trail, known as the NIcKERsoN system, is the
fifth in this great network of railways, which
is penetrating every day deeper and deeper
into the heart of the country Of the MoNrEzU-
MAS. Tho true wealth of Mexico has never
been justly appreciated. Her minerals, which
are of enormous value, have not been half de-
veloped, with the exception of the silver
mines. She has the first requisite for pros
perity-a truly glorious climate. The long
ovity of the Mexican Indians is proverbial,
and the rate of mortality is lower in Mexico,
as far as can be gathered, than in any known
country. The total absence of navigablo
rivers makes her development to depend en-
tiroly on her railway system, but from the
yigor with which those systems arc pushed,
the generous provisions of tho government

Railway Commissioners.

We do not question the good intentions of
the advocates of railway commissions, but we
do question the utility of those machines. If
congress believes that the interests of great
people, engaged all the time in n struggle to
restrain the greed of great transportation
companies, can be subscrved by the enact
ment into law of some general principles,
consistent with the rules governing the
transaction of business, why not bring them
forward, discuss and pass them? Why do
we find all attempts ut such legislation batlled
and the bills finally stranglcd? Is it because
too much is attempted, or because what is
proposed is of an impractical character? Or
is it because the doors of committee rooms
in congress fly open too readily to
the great railway magnatcs and too
tardily to their customers? If there
is anything that tends to fortify the tyranny
of the rapaciOus IL is the hOarse cry of the
commune. And if there is anything that will
finally arouse the masses to deeds of mischief
IL will be the insensibility of the railway kings
to reasonable demands.
The people will learn by and by that if they
would have the car of congress they
must select tho congressman, and not
leave the work to n few great ones
who claim the great public highways AS
exclusively their private property. Why
cannot some few wholesome rules be en-
acted into law which shall act as magma
charta between the railway kings and the
people? Leave details of control to the owners
of the railway property, but establish some
bounds to their power which they shall
not pass. Then let the doctrine that
control must go with ownership" of which
the railway attorneys tell us so much, be ap-
piled to the government itself as well as to
the railways. No interference with the gov
crnment by the railways. Those that asl,
equity should do equity.

pnrtv Prnapecia.

Dominant in national affairs for nearly
quarter of century, the republican party has
held the respect of the people and gained the
admiration of the statesmen of the world. 1t
has been the party of aggression and progress
sion. Having espouscd and defended princi-
pies of right and justice, IL has been trium-
phant on every important occasion. Ii has
borne the malignant assaults of calumny and
malignity and been only strengthened
thereby. Temporary rovcrses have come at
times, but the party has recovered from them
and grown in popular favor. Insiduous and
shrcwd have been the efforts recently
made to mislead and abuse the in
telligenco Of the people, and they have
been, in n measure, successful. Republicans
in the minority have been led into the oppo-
sition ranks by needing the subtleties Of the
enemies. From every section, however, are
now coming assurances of good faith and har-
mony. Those who have been rocalcitrant and
personally embittcred, now see tho folly of
their course. The various factions of the party
should bury their animosities, and return to
| their party fealty II is not TO be expected
that each and every individual who has har-
bored personal preudices in the past will at
once bury and forget them. Too much en-
thusiasm and hopefuncss of success would
be unwise and impolitic. II would tend to
produce feeling of security which might re-
suit in unnecessary failure. But it is safe to
say that there are such indications Of the
growth of harmony in the party, as
should inspire confidence. The gloomy
forebodings of many republicans, because OF
the indifference shown by the party at the
last elections, may now be set aside. Bour.
bon hopes, though blatantly paradcd, arc
thoroughly diluded with fear 1t is manifest
that there is a spirit Of accord and harmony
amongst the leading men of the republican
party which is spreading abroad in the rank
and illc. There is more of tolerance and de
ference to individual opinions than at any
time during the past two years An organi
zation founded upon the principles of human
liberty, popular sovereignty, and national pro
gression cannot be ovcrthrown.

round tower of other days, on the topmost
story of which abides, in solitary magnif-
cence, the Lord of the Tower. Here comes
the Plumed Knight and winds his brazen horn

A Felinh Woman.


Like commonplace oriental, she takes life
as she finds it, and applies her innate fatalis-
tic philosophy to all spheres of her experience
In no sphere does she display ii more conspic-
uously than in that of her maternal losses
When you sec her returning from the canal
and her earthenware pitcher poised on her
head and her blue veil drawn half over her
face in Difference to the religious precept--very
carelessly observed in Egypt-that a woman
should not show her COuntenanCe to strangers
of the other sex, you might readily assume
that her graceful, elastic figure, only half con-
cealed under the loose, flexible, dark blue gar
ment which constitutes her whole attire, had
never known the fatigues and sufierings of
maternity, but in reality she had borne no less
than six children, and of these only two have
survived. Though by no means heartless
mother she did not grieve long when the little
ones were suCcessively taken from her, She
had never heard about the survival of the
fittost" as a scientific dogma, but she had re-
marked, within the limits of her own eNperi-
ence and personal observation, that weakly
children always die, especially ut harvest
time, when mothers have less time than usual
TO attend TO domestic affairs, and she knows
that siclSly child, instead Of being II help to
the family, was a burden to itself and its
parents in this hard working world. Such re-
nections did not prevent her from weeping
bitterly when the the little ones had ceased ia
breathe and were taken away to be buried IN
a sandy knoll adjoining the village, but in a
few days the wound to her maternal instincts
healed, and she was ready to admit that Allah
did well to take weakly children TO himself

prosecution of the wholesale grocery business
or the manufacture of soap and candles. In
Washington alone, of all the great
cities of the continent, there arc pos
sibilitios of society of leisure and
culture, owing to exceptional circumstances.
When It was determined to locate the CAPT
tol here, it was carefully considered as
place remote from trade and unlikely to be-
come great commercial mart. Business is
virtually over in Washington at o'clock.
There is no exciting stock board, no mad
dening exchange, no fierce Wall street to keep
men slecpless for nights and days; there are
no corners in grain for merchants to carry in
their brains to the opera and to balls. Much
of the political business of Washington is
transacted in q social way, over glass OF
wine or in drawing room. Society ought to
be better in Washington than anywhere else
in this country.
