The director general of railways in India reports that some forty-five different railway projects have re­ cently been approved by the govern­ ment and are now in course of con­ struction. The various lines will, when completed, aggregate 6,163 miles of railway. The private enter­ prises are encouraged by certain con­ cessions from the government, such as free use of land and provision of rolling stock. The Parliamentary Commission whice has investigated into the resources of India has re­ ported that 60,000 miles of railway are needed in India to develop the resources of the country. The GREAT NORTHERN RY. is a new transcontinental line. Runs Buff et-Library-Observation cars, palace sleeping and dining cars, family tourist sleep ers and first and second-class coaches.

A pretty good traveling record for a lady of her age. Mrs. Clark is in good health and is satisfied to spend the remain­ der of her days in Oregon. Our Foreign Policy. The rumor of a spirited foreign policy grows fainter as the time for its verification draws near. The boasted letter of instruction to Am­ bassador Bayard, in accord with which he was said to be about to assure the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the President's intention to enforce the Monroe doc­ trine, was a bubble that burst before it was touched. No such letter was sent to Mr. Bayard, no mark of dis­ approval of his subservience to Brit­ ish interests has been made bj’ the President. On the other hand, Am­ bassador Eustis' effort to inaugurate a spirited policy in the matterof Mr. Waller, illegally arrested by French authority, has been chilled in the icy air of American officialism. The un- American attitude of the President toward Hawaii has done much to lessen the repute of the United States among foreign powers. Had the President lieen liold to support the young republic of Ha­ waii, and to demand reparation from France for injuries done to Mr. Wall­ er, it is quite possible that Great Britain would not have proceeded to extremities in the matter of the Venezuelan boundary line. For Brit­ ain, though brave enough, does not rashly provoke a powerful and coura­ geous foe. But, encouraged bj’ Presi­ dent Cleveland’s supineness, Britain already has proceeded to such ex­ tremities as must force the United States to make practical recantation of the Monroe doctrine or to reassert it with more spirit than has been manifested since Grant ordered France to abandon Mexico. In short, if we be forced into war with Great Britain, it will be because of the President’s untimely timidity. Firm language, and in good season, gener­ ally arrests war, especially when usedjby the pariy that is in the right of the dispute.— Inter Ocean.

A brief paragraph can hardly do jus tice to the interesting announcements which The Youth’s Companion makes for the coming year. Not only will some of the most delightful story-writers con­ tribute to the paper, but many of the most eminent statesmen, jurists and sci­ entists of the world. No fewer than three cabinet ministers are announced, among them being the secretarj- of agri­ culture, who chose for a subject “Arbor Day," the celebration of which he origi­ nated; Secretary Herbert writes on “What the President of the United States Does,” and Secretary Hoke Smith on “Our Indians." In a fascinating group of articles under the head of “How I Served my Appren­ ticeship," Frank R. Stockton telle how he became an author, General Nelson A. Miles gives reminiscences of his army days, and Andrew Carnegie recalls his earliest struggles in getting a business footing. The publishers of The Youth’s Com­ panion make the following liberal offer: New subscribers who will send at once their name and address and $1.75 will receive free a handsome four-page calen­ dar for 1896 (7x10 in.) lithographed in nine colors, the retail price of which is 50 cents.
