The All-Rail Route to Europe.

The latest and biggest railroad scheme which
has been preached is outlined by report which
the government surveyors have made for rail-
way through Alaska to Behring's straits, there
to connect with Siberian railway. This great
project is urged on the idea of giving us an all
rail route to Europe and due arguments are
presented to show its practicability. So far as
the 5000 miles of railway on this side of the
ocean are concerned, it is shown that it can be
built About that there appears to be no doubt.
But that any one will use the road for long years
after it has been built does not seem SO
clearly established. IL any considerable portion
of European travel is going to prefer a railway
trip of over 10000 miles to an ocean voyage of
5000, the road might have some traffic during
the season when it was not impossible from
SHOWS cut off from transit at Behring's straits
by the arctic ice. When people have 10 better
place to settle than country where the seasons
are divided into two months of sum mer and ten
of winter, the population of Alaska may furnish
local traffic to such line, but until then it
hardly seems necessary to agitate the project
very industriously. The Pittsburg Dispatch
says the most potent utility of this project at
present is to furnish employment for the govern
ment surveyors.

To the Children.

You are now enjoying your Sunday school
picnics and days in the woods Some Of you
will soon leave the city and spend your vacation.
Others can ride into the country aud enjoy the
freedom. the shade and the GOODNESS Bat there
are many children who will spend the long, hot
days in the city. without any taste of the woods.
1t is for such that the annual union picnic has
been instituted. In 1883 we took out 800 chill
dren and their mothers; in 1884, 1000; in 1885.
1000; this year we shall take the same number
to the beautiful Bethany Park on Thursday,
July l. To pay the expenses of this we have
organized the 'Fresh-air" Fund. Membership
in this fund is 81 per year. Each dollar will
take five children to the picnic. These tickets
are for sale at the book stores.

The position of general superintendent of the
New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio road would be
hardly worth accepting except that usually the
occupant steps to something better on retiring.
In commenting on the mutability of this posi-
ton the Cleveland Leader says: "Ths resigna-
ton of Mr.. Clement as general superintendent of
tho Nypano is but another illustration of the ex-
treme mutability that has always characterized
this Office. Mr.. Clements assumed charge of the
road Oct. Is, 1885, and hence has been with it
less than nine months. which has been about
the average duration of Office, with one ex
ception D. McLaren is said to have been
the first general superintendent, way back
in 1864, and the changes since then would almost
fill book. In 1872 Isaac Barton became gen.
eral superintendent. He had been in the Office
but short time when he inquired of another
official on the road how long the general superin-
tendents remained2 about nine months" was
the reply. "Well them" he said II have six
months to stay. as have been here only three
months He was mistaken, for ten days later
he received notice that mis- resignation would be
acceptable Mr. Barton is now general superin-
tendent of Austin Corbin's Long Island railroad,
and is managing the road very efficiently. He
was succeeded on the Nypano, the A. q G.
W., as it was then known. by Robert E. O'Brien.
Until 1873, the general offices were located at
Mea0Viiie. Inat year, General Devereux was
elected president of the road, and he appointed
p D. Cooper as general superintendent Mr.
Cooper remained until 1882, about year after
General Deyereux resigned and withdrew from
the road to take charge of the Bee-line. Mr..
Cooper was succeeded in 1882 by j. NJ Ferris,
now general manager of the Toledo & Ohio Cen
trail S. NJ FELTON, succeeded him, but he was
soon called up higher, and Charles Paine was
placed in charge. He, too, was promoted to an
Erie vice presidency. and Mr.. Clements elected
his successor.

Chicago newspapers says the Milling World,
are trying to convince Chicago wheatelevator
owners that, in exacting too high storage
rates, and imposing too onerous and trouble
some restrictions, they have killed the goose
that laid the golden egg 1t is shown
that in consequence of high rates and unreason-
able restrictions, much of the formerly profitable
grain handling business is leaving Chicago. 1t
is rather late in the day to check the tide, but
Chicago may yet retrieve part Of the loss in
Cured by her own avarice and injustice. When
wheat profits were high the impositions were suf-
fered in silence, but profits are no longer high,
and the grain-growers and shippers are no longer
willing to submit to the impositions The Mill
ing World may IN some measure be correct in its
theory, but the falling off in business over Chi
cago lines is largely due to the better time made
by the through lines out of Chicago. Over the
latter lines the heavy expense and delay of get
ting through Chicago is avoided.
