Russia and Persia.


The Shah of Persia again looms mp as an
important factor in the eastern question
1t is now stated that in accordance with
his promise to the Car of Russia he has
ordered the construction of railroad from
Meshed to Jarmin. If this be true we may
expect TO hear a most decisive protest from
Downing street, coupled with the news OF
sharp English diplomacy at Teheran.
Russia has long had covctOus eyes upon Me-
shed. That city is the capital of Khorassan.
the northern frontier, approximately speak
ing, of which province parallels the line of
the Transcaspian railway on its extension
through thewestern part OF Turkistan. Next
tolMecce, Meshed is the most sacred place of
the Shah Mussulman. Situated there arc
the Mausoleums OF IMAM RIA, HARoUN-AI-
RALcHIp. and NADR SHAH, and to the
shrine of IMAM RIA thousands of Shiites
make pilgrimage every year. The city has
also long been the centre Of intrigue against
England as regards her relations to At
chanistan and India. TO it can be traced
tine genesis of several rebelliOns in Afghan
istan particularly, and il is stated that so
important did Russia regard it as base OF
operations for her emissaries that she at
one time made overtures for its purchase,
During recent years English influence has
been in the ascendency at Teheran to such
IN extent that Russia was not allowed even
20 place representative at Meshed,
and when the Shah left England it
was pretty generally understood that
the little island having laughed last
had laughed best. In other words, 1t was
understood that despite Russia's threats
against the Shah no concession regarding
q railroad TO Meshed and involving an
other approach 10 Herst would be granted.
Now, however, the tables seem 10 have
been turned. The invasion of the sacred
city Of Meshed by the locomotive would in
the nature of things be only the beginning
OF the end Of Russia's squeezing process in
respect of Northern Persia. 1t would be
stragetic triumph of immense value. As
for the value Of the practical possession of
Neshed, considered as centre from which
10 intrigue. thorough comprehension
Of that would involve study of the
Mabommedan question. This. however,
may be said. The -Mahommedan

most fanatical OF all Mohammedans

DANGERS OF FEDERAL CLERKsHIP.
Government clerkships have wreck
ed the prospects of many a bright
young man. The man in office is the
creature of political caprice. In spite
of the civil service law, it is still a
fact which no one will dispute that
neither independence nor self-respect
of the highest order are usually found
among ofice-holders. The tenure is
too uncertain, too much subject to
the vicissitudes of party supremacy.
fla young man has fair capabilities
and will be reasonably energetic and
industrious, he is much more likely
to have home of his own and neat
reserve in bank by the time he is fif-
ty by sticking to his present employ
ment, even if it is only moderately
remunerative, than by seeking aud
accepting government clerkship. 1t
not infrequently happens that men
who have held such clerkships for
years are turned out, only to find
themselves without the fitness or ex-
perience that would qualify them for
any other business position. Besides,
there is little chance for advancement
in the great departments, and as a
usual thing those who hold such
places save very little money. All
these are reasons why it is not pru-
dent for young men who have fair
prospects of winning success by their
own pluck and push to give them up
and accept a place under the federal
government, with its uncertainties,
anxieties and vexations. An active
interest in politics is one thing-that
is every young mans duty-federal
office-holding is another and much
less desirable matter, as those who
try it usually discover to their regret.
