| To make a railroad round the world available to all mankind is equivalent to grading the whole surface of the planet. There are viceroys, princes, governors, sub-governors, sub-sub-governors, and a hundred orders of nobility, grading along down from grand-ducal archangels, stage by stage, till the general level is struck, where there ain't any titles. |
