ROUTirS IMPORTANCE. The amount of trafllc which will seek this new aiound-the-world loute can hardly be lealized. Consul Monaghan, In a recent letter to the state depait ment. declares that the construction of the Siberian railroad is an event bald ly second In Impoitance to the cutting of the Suez Canal. July 1, 1904, he sajs, will probably see ti.ilns lunnlng fiom the Baltic sea to the Japan Fea. Five thoutnnd miles of steel rails have al ready been laid. One year fiom now trains aie to urn over the Siberian load to tho Anioor liver. Thence by fast steamer passengeis, post parcels and fi eight are to bo pushed on to Chaboiowka, thence, In eighteen houis. over the south Russian section of tho Slbeiian road to Vladivostok, making the distance fiom London to the most impoitant haibcu of the Japan bta sev enteen and one-half dajs. Ninety per cent of the present travel to the far east, it is estimated, will .seek the all-rail loute when it Is com pleted, especially when the cost of a tlist-class ticket fiom London to Vladi vostok will be but $119 ns against the piesent fare via Bilndisl and the Suez of $l.'s. What this ninety per cent, means Is astonishing. In 1S91 210,93s paemrers went via the Suez Canal to China and Australia. For political, mllitniy, and other 1 ca nons the compiler of the-e "tntlsiies chops 117,000 from the llt of possible passengeis for the Russian route, leav ing 9VJ't. TaMii' from this is 1)11. gilms, 40 oon Unst Indian tr.iveleis, nnd adding 10,000 who hitheito have gone via tin Ann id ui tinnstontluental line. 10,(00 west luiopeans who an nually go to the fin east for pleasure, and we get 1.0,000 mostly llit-class passengeis who will use the now loute. MFANINO TO AMFRICA. The fi eight over the new road to the east and that from tho west naturally will lie that which pays the hlsVs. charges fins, gold silver, platir ,ni, and tea. Many of these commocH'.'oi will go to Fin ope out of Slbeila Itself Thnt land Is tlch In mlneruls of all kinds especially tho Ural dlstilct. Siberian fins aie known the woild over. Much as the road may mean to Oer many Russia, and the lest of Furope. II means more to us," declares Consul Monaghiin. "California, Oicgon, AVnsh Ington. our wholo western country If not 0111 wholo continent. Is Inteiested in this load. Russia has her hands full at home. The hands to help In tho cast aie outs. Theio Is something luoie attiactlve In our civilization and nit thods to eastern people than In those of Furope; nt least It Is so as set led by eastern traveleis To develop the rcouices of an emplro .o vast as Russia will require capital, entet prise, and energy such as has made us the richest tuition In. the woild. To equip her roads, to develop her great agil cultural, llshlng, mineral, and forest lesouices Russia needs Just such Im plements ns have helped us. No time Is to be lost If we nio to have any part In the great drama that has for Its plot tho development and modernizing of the Oilent." The commercial possibilities and benefits to ncciue to Chicago nnd tho whole northern half of the American continent can not now bo estimated, but It Is safe to .predict that eight or ten years hence will witness a radical change In the direction of transporta tion commodities and passengers be tween the old world and the new world, and ocean traveling will have lost Its teirois to thousands who would visit Europe annually but for fear of drow n lng or tho dread of the racking pains of mal-de-mcr. "ALL ABQARD FOR SIBFRIA!" It will not be long before tho passen ger agents at the Union depot on Canal street will announce tho departuie of express trains for the Orient. The con ductors will call out: "All aboard for Siberia, Japan and Coreu." "Take this car for St. Petersburg through without change," "This car for Berlin, Pari and Lon don." Then will come to us ubiquitous com mercial travelers from beyond Bering Strait with samples of tea and silk, while our own knights of tho road will Invade tho steppes of Russia taking orders for reapers nnd harvesters, and tho demnnd for a 23,000-mlle Inter changeable ticket, good on nit the rail roads of America and Furope, will bo a dllllculty for solution by the West ern Passenger association. Instead of Whisky, Tr(?af to Apples Renhester Democrat and Clnonlcle. "Will, boys, It's my treat. Lot's have another loiind of apples" As n pro moter of convivial jo, such an Invita tion would huve the featuie of novelty. As an encouragement to sobriety and to tbo Introduction of a wholesome sub stance Into the mechanism of the human sjstein It would be a distinct Improve ment on some other kinds of Invitations. Perhaps tho time will not speedily como when men will treat their companions to tipples as a guarantee of good fellowship, but why should It not? A good apple is delicious ttnd harmless. A dilnk of whisky Is unpleasant to the taste and pernicious In Its effects. A man may ex claim, scofllngly, that If he wants an opplo lie Is able to buy It May he not truthfully say the same thing with re gard to a drink of whisky.' And why should he scoin to accept the former os a gift and nt tho same tlmo gratefully accept the latter? Is theie any code of morals, or ethics, or honor, In which a distinction or a difference Is pointed out'' Tho treating phase of the apple-whisky question has been selected as a tet for these remarks because It Is well known that the Uniting custom Is illitctly re sponsible for two-lhlids of the gurgling that goes on in this country, and then -foie Is the main cause of that direful nllllctlon known as dipsomania Very few people, If left to themselves, would evel contract an Ii resistible craving for bodv racklng and brain-muddling stimulants Tin get It through slavish submission to the preposterous function of "social" life which Impels them to donate and ac cept donations of abominable liquids which thej do not want, but which they ftel under obligations to swill down, and which no man can take without suffering damage. Almost eveiy dipsomaniac will tell jou tint this Is the oiigln of his disease, nnd will express with unmistak able sincerity a desire to be cured of the malady that Is cat lying him on to wreck ami ruin. o But what his all this to do with ap ples' Simply this That an amiouiici ment has recently been made fiom 11 scientific source that apple-eating Is a cure for dipsomania. It Is stated that if the victim of 11 whisky stomach will eat apples ficely his ciavlng for strong drink will disappear, and be will soon find himself a free moral agent and a self-respecting citizen The remedy Is so simplo and ngrr cable ns to he at least worth trjlng, and we Mioutd think th it every Immoderate whisky drinker wou.j eagerly put It to tho test What could be more Innocent and pleasant than an apple bcfoie breakfast us an (e-opeiui, an apple nt nieal-tlme as an appetiser, an npple on the way down town as a foi tlller for the du's work, on apple anj -where and nt any time as nn Indulgence betwicn fiiends tor tho sake of cordial ity and good will? It Is true that an apple-habit might thus he established, but that would be much bettn than the whlskv habit. It would not make wlie biaters or loafers or paupers It would not cripple men for lespunslble positions It would not wicck blight Intellects or blight promising lives It would not cause people who 1110 decent when soln r to make disgusting exhibitions ot them selves as a result of apple-eatlin. It would not promote biutnllty or sllllntsi ot crime or iiilllanism, It would not do anbody any harm whittevei. Moreuvii, It would be economical A week's supply of apples would not cost as much ns the whisky that somo people consume In n day. o The best nppli s In the woild nie prow 11 In the United Slates, nnd thus tin remit!)
