ToLoNDON BY Rail.

In the infancy Of railroad history
a proposition to construct a railroad
line from the Mississippi river to the
Pacific ocean would have been
laughed to scorn. Even after the
Union Pacific was completed a
plan for building a bridge twenty
two miles across a lake, such as the
one on which the Cincinnati, New
Orleans & Texas Pacific now crosses
Lake POntchartrain, would have
been looked upon as altogether
chimerical. The proposition for an
all-rail route to Great Britain and
the continent now being urged by
engineers, finds no more favor with
an incredulous public than did those
propositions which have just been
mentioned, and which years ago
became accomplished facts. The
plan to reach Great Britain by rail
does not embrace a tunnel under
the Atlantic, it in fact provides for
going west rather than east. 1t
provides for railroad to those west
ern limits of Alaska which border
on Behring Strait, for crossing this
strait, thirty or forty miles, on a
bridge and then connecting with
the proposed railroad by which
Russia is to reach her easternmost
possessions. The rest of the way to
Calais is easy. From Calais to the
British Isles a tunnel under the
English channel, long contemplated
must be built. Of this plan the
Railway Age says:
The chief value of our great rail-
way, however, would be as a means
of reaching not London, or even
Europe, but Russia, China and
India. Pekin which is nearly on
the latitude of Philadelphia, is
something like $500 miles south.
west of the Behring strait, making
the journey from New York to
Pekin, say 5000 miles. Calcutta,
on the Indian ocean, is a matter of
1000 miles further on and that
will eventually be linked to our new
hemisphere by steel rails.
What a tremendous impetus this
enterprise, once completed, would
give the missionary cause. The
people of the world may ere long be
circumnavigating it by rail rather
than by water. The little 5000
mile ditch between New York and
Liverpool would be slight inter
ruption, to be sure, but it would
necessarily be a pleasant one to the
tedium of the locomotives whistle
and the trains rattle.

THE PRESIDENTS CABINET.

1t is quite probable that one of
President Harrison's Cabinet Off
GERS will be selected from the Pacific
states-quite likely Oregon. Ore
gon is the only state on the Pacific
slope ever so represented. In De
cember 1871 Attorney General Ack-
erman surrendered his position in
President Grants Cabinet and eX
U. S. Senator Hon G. II.
Williams was chosen to the place.
A large number Of Mr.. Williams
friends in Washington called upon
him with their congratulations and
demanded speech. Among other
things in that reply the General
said: 81 promise all whom it may
concern that when | am placed at
the head of the Department of JUS
tice in this government, so far as
the jurisdiction of that department
may go, its mandates will be dis
pensed without fear or favor, with
equal vigor and respect for all classes
and conditions of men. l know

or now made aoOut official delin-
quencies in the Federal offices, but
so far rs exposure and prosecution
of such delinquencies devolves upon

most vigorous and effective manner
to crush out conspiracy against the
peace Of society and the safety of
unofiending citizens. Governments
were primarily established to pro-
teCt the weak against the strong,
and, if this Government fails to
perform its functions in that respect
1t has n poor claim upon the support
and loyalty of its citizens. No one

This Fine Comedy Fairly Well Rendered
Last Evening.
Had Miss Prescott and Mr.. Mclean re-
ceiysd adequate support, at the oper"
HOUSE, last evening, the audience present
would have been treated to a very fine rem
dition of this splendid comedy. Ash WAS,
the presentation can only be classed ~
fairly good. Miss Prescott as 'ROsalind,'
was all that could be desired, and she re-
ceiyed u liberal reward in the shape Of
applause. Mr.. McLesn's Jacques was
in keeping with the role assayed by Miss
Prescott, and in his rendition Of the lines

p~ecially happy. Mr.. lladlock was a to!er-
able "Touchstone, " but Of the rest little
can be said in the way OF concentration,
although at times esyeral surprised the
audience by a brief rise above medioCrity.
Mis-. Prtscott's recitation of the prologue
vas very graceful, and was II fitting close
to her Efforts during the progress OF the
comedy.
Both Miss PrescOtt and Mr.. Mclean
have made a favorable impression here,
and they will rr warmly welcomed should
they return the coming season.
