Il Worth HssdinE Here.
In an elaborate report on Japanese
railways Mr.. Lowther OF the British
legation In Toxic says that on March
!. 1885, the total mileage Of railways
pen TO the public was AIS. Of which
government lines amounted 10 $50 and
-priyate lines TO 1888 miles. says tho
London Times. In addition there we're
l.OI2 miles uncompleted. while appar-
entity about 1000 miles Of line are con-
templated. excluding Formosa. Mr..
Lowther specially calls attention 10 the
vital necessity for British manufae.
turers OF railway material TO take every
possible measure 20 advance their in
tereats In Japan. Hitherto Great Brit.
ain has practically had a monopoly In
furnishing rails. engines. rolling stock.
etc; whether her manufacturer are
still 70 enjoy this privilege must de-
pend on themselves and on the exer-
lions they make The railways Of
Japan have been built under foreign.
Il might also be sald British advisers.
Hence u was convenient that the ma
terials required for carrying out de-
signs made by English engineers
should be obtained IN England. The
influence OF English engineers could
not fail 70 make itself felt in that d.
reciion' but the tendency OF the Japa-
nese government Is 10 dispense with all
foreign advice. and the time may not
be remote when all japanese lines.
whether government or private. will be
built and managed without any assist
anee from the foreigner In Japan and
the material alone will be purchased
abroad. In Great Britain the leading
firms order from designs made by their
own engineers and manufacturers have
nothing 70 do with the preparation OF
the designs. In America. on the other
hand. there exists system under
which the railway companies state
their requirements and the manufac-
turers send In competitive projects
based on their own designs. The Eng
lish engineer who has been the De.
signor OF railway bridges In Japan
since 1882 Is leaving the country. On
his departure, II the japanese engineers
have structures with which they are
unable 70 deal. Il viii be most easy for
them TO adopt the American system
and get both design and bridge from
the manufacturers. thus transferring
the business TO America. American
firms are careful 10 be represented In
Japan. while only some Of the most in
poriant British firms have agents there.
Hence Mr. Lowther thinks tina, British
manufacturers Of railway material
would hnd Il advantageous 10 be prop
erly represented In Japan. as large
shipbullding firms have been with sue
cess and, a. there are evident signs OF
boom" In railway enterprise IA
Japan. I; Is important that the matter
should be attended to without delay.
u Is easier TO keep the japanese as
customers In the British market. where
they have always obtsined a satlsfac-
tory return for their outlay. than "a
bring them back TO the market when
they have gone to another. Il Is est.
mated that a third OF the total eYpen.

NAL condition, and for three or four weeks
did not feel the need Of the poison.
Having learned what she required the
woman arranged for her needed supply Of
poison. AS soon as she felt the need of it the
cobra was secured and, like Cleopatra, she
barred her arm to the bite that has proved
fatal in thousands of cases.
The poison entered her blood and she arose
from the couch refreshed and invigorated.
If DIR. Fraser's experiments become successful
the bite OF the cobra, SO far from filling "A
resident of India with horror, will become
one OF the luxuries Of life and an invitation
to sample one Of private stock of serpents
will occasion no more comment than an offer
to open small bottle. Then the snake cage
will occupy place on the sideboard and the
victim of alcoholism accustomed TO snakes
will conjure up some other hideous object to
frighten him in his Dreams"
In view Of these new discoveries IL does not
seem 'unT easonable TO believe that before
many days snake bites will be considered
quite desirable, and the necessity for that
heretofore essential article to a fishing trip
will be less in demand. while the establish
ment of branches of the Society for the pro-
pagation OF the. cobra in foreign parts" will
afford other fields of usefulness for temper
ance reformsrs.

MUNICIPAL REPUBLICATION

Those citizens who have identified
themselves with the Republican party In
It's municipal affairs and have year after
year given their support to the candidates
of Republican conventions for the muni-
cpisl offices. certainly have no reason
to feel anything but well satisfied with
the result OF such association and such
support.
Under the administration OF citizens
chosen 10 Cftice as Repu blicaps the city
OF Providence has progressed and It's
affairs have been wisely, energetlcslly
and economically managed. It's credit is
high, its public works In excellent con-
pal corporation arc efficiently conducted.
There never was slur or suspicion
of the administration of the municipal
affairs until the present Mayor, when
candidate, brooght his Infamous charges
against the Republican administration
for the sole purpose OF securing his own
elect ion.
Ky investigation at the han1s Of the
McGUIN NESS administration Itself, every
charge made to secure the election of
Mayor McGUINNEss has been proved TO
h,y. baar m hasatasa siapdor Raoubt{oan
administrations OF the past are today en-
dorsed and justified by the Democratic
administration Of the prssent-in every
particular.
Repu blicsnism in municipal affairs has
stood the test OF years and has survived
the ISLANDERS OF Democratic opponents.
Every citizen OF Providence who Is Re-
pu ublicsn In municipal affairs mas a right
10 feel gratited at the evidences of the
honesty and capacity OF the men who.
under the Republican standard, have
given this town good government for
so many terms.
The records can be kept by returning
Republicans to the administrative offices.

SNAKE BITES A LUXURY.

An article in your paper of October 10Th, en-

Irish Weekly Independent" Of Saturday,
August 8, 1895 which was as follows:
'Dr. Fraser, well known Indian physician,

Of innoculatfhg men and animals, 80 that they
will secure the same immunity from the bite
Of a serpent that vaccination gives from small

Fraser heard of woman at Lahore India, who
had been making similar Investigations, and
hsd succeeded 10 well i'm her own case that
the bite Of cobra was with her something TO
be- desired rather than dreaded.

which had been told were.true.
