The historic reluctance Of ofisata
races to indulge IN reforms isS little IN
derstood, but time and experience VIII
explain. These races : old In sxpsr
ience and In wisdom. Therefore. they
are always apprehensivs OF the. ulti
mate ends to which any reform will
reach. says the Detroit News. Japan
has modernized rapidly. It enjoys the
benefits of a very improved form Of
government. Out Of this change de
velops a gradual rise In the status OF
tho masses and n of the conse'
quences is a discomfort. Alexander II.
of Russia emancipated 23,OOO,00 serfs
in the: spring Of 1861, after giving all
landowners and serf masters three
years notice to prepare for the event
and setting his own serfs free as an
example. In 1881 the son and daugh'
tiers Of the emancipated serfs, having
enjoyed the benefit Of education and
thereby discovered the wrongs of the
past and the expressions to which the
poor were still subject at the hands of
the mobiles and great land owners. ex-
pressed their discomfort by killing the
emperor who had lifted them to the
status of free mel and women. Rus.
sian discomfort was fomented by MI.
chael Bakounin, the founder of terror
ism in Russia. Japan has her Bakoun-
in in Denjiro Kotoku, a publicist of dis.
content. Recently a band Of SO con.
spirators were arrested upon the
charge Of plotting against the life of
the emperor, and IL Of them have al
ready been executed. These terrible
blunders seem to be unavoidable con
sequences of a change in the status of
the people of any nation, but only the
superficial observer could condemn all
attempts at progress because, in gov
ernments as in railroading, they in
volve a certain element Of danger.

Plans for Sherbrooke Fair.

Fl. Z. Channel, secretary of Canada s
Great Eastern Exhibition, leaves for
Montreal to complete arrangements with
several large exhibitors and also to fin
ish up certain details with the railways
in regard to the transportation of stock
and train service during fair week.
Mr.. Channell will then go to Quebec
and meet the directors of the Provincial
Exhibition. While there he will com
plete arrangements whereby the exhib-
itors there will be able to get away
from Quebec for the Sherbrooke fair.
A large number of exhibitors in live
stock and in the industrial denartments
have decided to come. This fact, along
with those who will come direct, is an
assurance that the 27th annual fair this
year will surpass any previous one in
livestock and in the industrial depart
ments.
New and interesting features will be
introduced in the way of attractions.
Not only will there be frst-class vaude-
vile acts but these will be supplement-
ed with racing, show of fancy horses,
automobile parade, etc The entries for
the stake events on the racing program
closed on Aug. list, and there has been
sufficient enquiry to assure the best of

Grand Trunk to Begin Work Soon.

Secretary OF the Commonwealth Albert
| p. Langtry has signed the certificate Of
incorporation to the Southern New Eng
land railroad. the proposed Grand Trunk
extension across Massachusetts. This com
pletes the authority to the company, and
one Of the directors said Saturday that
actual work of construction is likely to
begin very soon. The exact time has not
yet been fixed by the Grand Trunk officials
The directors named in the incorpora.
ton papers are Earl T. Fitzhugh of Mon.
treal, who probably will be the head OF
the railroad; Ezra H. Baker of Boston,
George c. Jones and John S. Murdock
Wesley H. Chaffee is treasurer and Clar.
ence P Riddell is clerk.
1t is certified that the capital stock of
the corporation is Sl,000,000 which Bum
has been subscribed and ten per cent of
it has been paid into the treasury in cash,
as required by the Massachusetts laws.
The new line is to begin on the line of the
New London Northern in Palmer and
run through Palmer. Munson, Brimfeld,
Sturbridge, Southbridge, Dudley, Web
ster, Douglas, UXbndge and Blackstone.
All of these towns, with the exception
of Uxbridge and Blackstone willingly
granted the company a location early in
the year, but in Uxbridge and Blackstone
there was considerable opposition to the
route selected by the company. As pro-
vided by law in such instances the com
pany appealed to the railroad commits
sion which fixed the route through those
towns, announcing its decision relative
to them on July 10. A clear line is thus
given across Massachusetts, but there
remains some complications which the
courts will settle, at Woonsocket, whence
the railroad will run to Providence, r. l.
