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 most solid bridge of any in this
part of the county. A foot bridge
will be built alongside the main
bridge as soon as the lumber arrives.

Mrs. Elizabeth Clark of Eldorado,

A. Porter of Mill Creek arrived about
ten days ago to remain permanently
in the “Webfoot” state. Mrs. Clark
is 77 years of age. Mrs. Clark first
made the trip to Oregon in 1882, and
was then 65 years of age; she re
turned to Illinois in 1883; in 1886 she
came to Oregon and returned east
in 1888; she then cam? to Oregon in
1891, returned to Ills, in 1893; in the
present month 1895 she returned to
Oregon to stay, having made seven
trips since her 65th year. 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 Heuinrkable Announcement.
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

A circular letter, signed by 100
prominent business and professional
men, has been issued to the voters of
Massachusetts advising them to vote
“no" on the question of municipal
suffrage for women. The main reason
advanced for such action is that
women are not experienced in busi
ness affairs, and that, therefore,
“the right and property of our citi
zens, female as well as male, are now
better protected and more intelli
gently cared for than they would be
if the mass of voters should be doub
led bv establishing woman suffrage.”
Among the names signed to the
letter are those of President Eliot of
Harvard, T Jefferson Coolidge, Rich
ard H Dana, Prof. Charles Eliot
Norton, and ex-Govs. Robinson and
Russell. These are imposing signa
tures, but somebody points out, with
a suggestion of irony, that equally
imposing ones were attached to the
Boston indorsement of Webster’s 7th
of March speech in support of the
fugitive slave law.— Globe Democrat.
