THE TRANs-s1BERIAN RAILWAY.

The statement has been made in some
berian railroad will be completed and
opened for traffic next spring This is not
so. The Trans-Siberian railroad is yet far
from being completed. 1t is stated that
this month is will be completed to
Stretinsk. and Stretinsk is 2733 versts, or
about 1.746 miles. from Vladivostock, the
Pacific terminus Of the line. But the
completion of the road to this point con-
meets the railroad with river navigation
to the Pacific ocean by the Shika and
Amoor rivers, and establishes rail and
months. when the streams are open to
navigation, between st. Petersburg and
Vladivostock. At least two years must
ciapse before Russia, under the most ia
vorable conditions, can complete it's great
railroad, and the government, as a mat
ter Of fact, does not contemplate the
completion Of the line before 1903 BY
that tine, so swiftly do events succeed
each other in these days, Vladivostock
may be IN possession Of Japan or some
other nation possessing greater naval
strength than Russia on the Pacific
ocean, aud the present states in the far
East may be completely changed, and in
any case many years must elapse before
Russia can be regarded as a strong COM
mercial competitor of the United States
in China and for the far Asiat;c trade.

threatened with assault by a man whom
he had insulted, called upon God to pro-

is that the "divine healer" will for the

many simple persons will share his belief

formulating such changes; and it has
quite as much TO sustain II in the con-
tertion as have these charter commits
sioners. like Mr.. F. 8. Doran, who would
have the old charter re-enacted with the
provision for the adjustment of school
finances.
If the commission confines itself to Of
fering a provision as to the school funds
it will simply ignore the purpose for
which it was created It's first duty is to
present such a provision as will with
stand the test of the courts, an under
taking itself not the easiest in the world
1t would not be a bad idea if. after hav-
ing this, 1t would give a little thought
to the facility with which valuable public
franchises may be given away. and see
whether they cannot devise something of
a check on the common council in this re-
gard. 1t would be safe to assure the
commission that any reasonable provision
along that line which 1t may choose to
adopt is not likely to suffer defeat by the
popular vote.
We have heard good deal in tho recent
past as TO what the officeholders will and
will not count enance We 90 not believe
that the charter commission is disposed
to pay any attention whatever to this
sort of talk. Yet. if the commission feels
itself at liberty to refrain from doing
anything in the direction of simplifying
Or cheapentng our present involved and
expensive local government machine, 1t
will be fulfilling the wishes of the office
holders and ignoring the needs of the
city. as well as the wishes of its people.

And They Are Not Vain.

A woman who did much work among the sick and suffering soldiers down in Florida this summer says that as her wardful, comprising twelve men, be- gan'to get better, she became aware of a wistful expression upon each face that told there was a want of some thing. In vain did she endeavor to anticipate this want; for each and every attention there was great grati- tude, but she felt that something was in their minds which she had not yet hit upon and for which they were re- luctant to ask. At last one of the men picked up his courage and asked for "a mirror.
 "I know it may seem queer" he said, "but it's such a nuisance lying here from day to day, and not knowing how we look. The whole twelve of us have wanted one for some time, but we didn't like to ask for 1t, and some how nobody thought of giving us one. You've showered on us food and drink and clothes and books and baccy, and most all the other good things in the world, but no mirrors. I suppose twas because we were men,"
