TIME first railroad in India
was opened just so years
ago. over the subjects Of
the Moguls and the Rajahs the
remorseless Car of Juggernaut
had rolled and crunched for
countless generations, and now,
at last, had come the Car of
Progress, drawn not by lazy bull
locks, but by the mighty though
invisible power of steam, and
destined to completely sidetrack
Juggernaut and all the supersti-
ton and cruelty for which he had
so long stood,
Than the vast Indian land, with
its venerable past, its teeming
millions of people its cloud
piercing mountains and majestic
rivers, its ancient PHILOSOPHERS
and hoary religious cults, its mar
velous forests and jungles, its
wealth of animal FORMS and its
innumerable royalties with their
barbaric gold and pearl. there is
not upon all the earth a more
interesting region.
And the wonder only grows
when one stops to think that this
stupendous empire is governed by
a few thousand Englishmen,

For $50 years the little handful
Of Anglo aXons have impressed
their will upon the mighty mass
of Asiatic humanity, and, with
few trifiing exceptions, no at
tempt has been made by 100000
600 to stay the conqueror's hand
or say unto him, What doest
thou?"
1t is one of the most astound-
ing miracles that is made known
to us in the whole course of his
tory. and perhaps affords US the
most striking instance known of
the omnipotence of will power
and moral courage. To the stu
dent of psychology there is
perennial interest in the subject
of British rule in India-why it is,
and how it is, that the little cor
porars guard of Englishmen liv-
ing in the midst of the millions
of Orientals are able to maintain
their splendid sovereignty over
them!
And equally wonderful is the
fact that the railways, of which
there are now thousands of miles
in India, do not seem to make
any difference with the security
of the Englishman's grip.
