ports, and the capital as well. Where then do Russian conimercial interests derive their source? Our readers can judge for themselves.

It is of course feasible enough that these Steamers are intended as a, connecting link, or feeder, for the Trans-Sih ria Railway, which may, possibly, be completed in the spring of 1gt. The machiantions of Russia capitalist may picture to themselves huge goods trains carrying, to and from, Europe, by the Trains-Siberian Railroad, at least two-thirds of the enormous commerce which now finds its way eastward and westward, via the Suez Canal, in British, French, and German bottoms. But it is difficult to reconcile such a scheme with the important utterances of the Tsar's councillors. made at the time His Imperial Majesty sanctioned the construction of this railway.

The completion of the Trans-Siberian Railway will cause a tremendous revolution in For Enstein pairs, politically and possibly com- mercially; and it behoves us to weigh these facts thoroughly for where some may gain, others will undoubtedly lose Russia, however, appears to have all to gain and but little to lose!

A NEW SOURCE OF REVENUE.

The frantic rush for shares in that recently- collapsed institution, the Commercial Bank Lot. tery, proves, says he Sydney Bulletin, that Australis has not been made respectable by Act of Parliament. The gambling spirit is fixed in the constitution of humanity, and the chances are that it will endure as long as the buman race holds out; and the East Man will want to toss up with the seraphim amid the ruins of the earth before he takes his departure and leaves an empty planet whirling uselessly in space. Gambling goes on es persistently and almost as extensively as in the days when lotteries were a recognised source of revenue in almost every country in the civilised world, and the man who stakes his thousands on the borse which regu- Jarly comes in last gors to wreck quite as fast as his ancestor did in the days when the world was not so moral as it has now become. So long as there is anything left to gamble about gambling is not likely to become extinct, and so long there are two dogs in all the five continents to

run fares against each other, or two spiders to gallop across two separate hot plates, or two birds sitting on a fence so as to leave It an-open-chiestinn_which_will_fy away first, or two men remaining alive to argue about the spilling of a word, and then make a bet about it and rush for a dictionary to settle the points long as there is a single live animal remaining, and one human being in its vicinity to shoot at it, and another to make a wager that he won't hit it, this universal vice will prosper and be a great and honoured institution. And even if cards and dice were abolished, and horse- racing and professional cricket and sculling were extinct, and fan-tan and the Chicaman who invented it were thrown into the sex together, and the back-maker was dead and the totallsator broken up and sold for old metal, and the church art-union and the idiotic "word competition" were both wired out; and the Stock Exchange, and the man who makes a 'corner" in wheat, and the pious broker who condemns horse- gambling at the religious conference makes bis pile by bolding the stakes in the share. lottery, and the prize-fighter, and the speculator who fonts a new building society and the wild- cat mine, and the man who engineers the loan to a husted South American republic were dumped into one common grave, gambling would be no nearer its end than it is to-day. I there is nothing else left to bet about, men will bet on the existence of a material bell, and the old sin will go ahead as before,

Therefore, as this offence seems past remedy,

it is worth while considering whether it might

not be as well to make gambling a State monopoly, and rein the incurable sin on a profit-

kind will gamble to the bitter end; but if the evil pasalon is directed into a new channel a good many of its worst features may be got rid of The State will then have a direct interest in the abolition of the fan-tan expert. and there will be a better chance of that saddened heathen being relegated to the wash- tub or despatched to supervise the tea-plant in his native land. The hookmaker may be diverted to some useful calling along with the jockey, the trainer, the tout, and the tipster whose unintelligible ́advertisement sets forth that, in return for a reasonable fee, he is prepared to supply information which somebody will pre-E sently get wrecked upon. The host of indes- cribable hangers-on who make a precarious living out of the turf may also be transferred to other paths of usefulness; an' the ponderous braiser may be successfully prohibited from whaling his fellow man when the spirit which keeps the bruiser going finds a new and more lawful ou let. Unless it can be demonstrated that all these and many more of their kind are reputable and valuable citizens, we claim that the change we suggest is conceived in the best interests of public morality,

We are well aware that a shriek of anger and rlerision from the Church at urge will greet these proposals, but while the Church continus to live so largely and di ectly on lotteries and raffles and other sinful devices, not to mention the gifts of the gimblers who are among it chief supporters, it has little reason to complain if the State chooses to do the same. Moreover the Church has devised nothing since the days of the Crusades which promised in the leas degree to supply that craving forexcitement which is rooted in the human soul, and that old diversion proved so unsatisfactory and unprofitable l'at it has long since ceased to be regarded as a rational amusement. The world has tacity resolved that a leaf humble plain respectabil

It grew excited over wild-beast fights, and public flogging and hangings, and refreshed itself by watching men pound each other to death, but all these things have fallen off more or less. It has been looking for and finding some form of diversion-generally a sinful one-ever since It was first furnished with intelligence, but gambling has outlasted all the rest. Respec- Lability is a solemn, portentous. thing, and as i has consistently opposed itself to amusement the bulk of humanity refuses to be respectable. I wants to be amused, and a tall, black hat and a funeral are not thrilling enough for the purpose And, therefore, despite the protests ceaselessly issued by the spectre of Respectability, the larger part of the human race keeps on gambling as the readiest means of escape from its own weariness, and as the evil seems. remedy, we suggest that it should be made, il possible, a profitable and agreeable sin, instead of being a profane and riotous offence and a dead lose as well,
