reign of Kang Hsi. The vested interests that now control the forces of the E pire, drawing their support as they do in the virtual independence of central control, will minke a strenuous opposition to the establishment of a railway system, But a well-designed main system of iron roads will be a potent and irresis tible weapon if the Court can but wield it, that will compel the resteration of the full and rightful powers of the Imperial Government,
For the logical development of the first rail way section that now Exists in vigorous life will assuredly, more than any other means, bringabout the restitution of the controlling and directing functions of government that should be held by the Imperial councils, and it is to be hoped that the nowager Empress of Hien Fung will in the fulness of time see with her own eyes the accom- plishment of the grand and Imperial project which it is believed was conceived by her soon after the death of the Emperor, and during the evil times when the Empire was in the direst straits from foreign invasion and occupation, and the enormous strains of the most formidable rebellion that any Chinese Government has ever had to encounter. It is said that in these dark and almost hopeless hours the Imperial lady resolved to do all she could to retrieve the waning fortunes and faded glories of the dynasty, and in the accomplishment of her vast and patriotic design she had the unfailing support of the deceased Eastern. Empresa, a woman less bold, but equally less ambitious, probably less able, tenacious. The short railway now open must be the forerunner of others, and if the inevitable extensions are well plagued the end will be sure. The Imperial house will again hold full sway, the control of the army and navy will be regained with less difficulty than now exists, and a general unification of taxation, fiscal policy, coinage, weights and measures, &c., to be evolved out of the present chaotic conditions of things, will not
