I "holder# ^:id this Knlgan railroad is
j spoken ot as the first railroad In that
country which wa> projected and con
structed by Chines'. That statement
concerning it may not bejltorally and
exactlyi accurate, and it is sufficiently I
true to lie of marked significance, j
and there is cause for gratification
in ihf I'HVUlfUl tho aged patriot who
I has just died lived to see the comple
tion of an important road which was
ro'nxtructod accord. jag to Irts w^.se
policy. -
Twenty years ago. of all the official
opinions which were expressed fully
!?."? per cent were v.ncorapromlslngly
antagonize to the -construction of
railroads In China- It was the mani
festation of tha: spirit which pro
voked Mr. Chang ? ? write* Und pub
lish his remarkable and* influential
book. At present Mr. Wu estimates
that at leaat_a5- p? r cent -of -officials
and other intelligent men In China
are in favor of railroad building, and
particularly of railroad building by
?the Chinese themselves. That is a
noteworthy change to have been ef-l
fected In 20. years or less, and It is a i
| pretty convincing reply to those who!
doubt the practicability of an awak-j
ening of China, especially since It is J
only one o< numrous indications to]
the same effect.
