H committee claims n victory in that state by a
K mnjority or something over 300 on governor
HK while tlie democrats mnkc about tho same
Kj clalra-thc other way.
K Z The republicans or this city had a rousing
Bn jollification , Saturday evening. Thcro wore
He ubouta thousand peoplooutaud with boii-urc.
Kj speaking and flinging tho crowd exhibited a
Unj good naturcd Joyovor the election of Harrisou
Hg mid Morton. Indlanolu Courier.
k Representative I'ayson of Illinois is being
P ! pushed by his rrlcnds for secretary of the in
If' tcrlor under President Harrison , it being
' \ urged in his favor that ho is tho best informed
Hir man In congress on public land questions. Mr
BL | : Payson's record in congress on this ono point
H surely nntitlcs him , to consideration.
M Senator Manderson hopes to eufEcicntly re-
m gain his strength as to bo utile to loavo lor St.
H . J ouis by November 18 , ho bolng one of the
H Bpecial senate committee , to iuvestlgatu the
. meatproductqucstion. This committee iueois
t.
Ht , in St. Louis on the 20th Inst. , and will then
HO'probably hold investigating sessions in Kan-
H sf eas City , Chicago and other places , returning
I f to WnalllnKton in time for tho short session of
m j congress , which convenes in December.
K The Old Defenders' association of Baltimore ,
H organized in 1M2 with 1,239 members , was dis-
H . BOlved in 18S5 , when the number of merabors
Hft ubloto attend the reunions was reduced to
1 less than Ave and now thero Is only ono sur-
Hnf vivor , James Chamberlain Morlord , 93 years of
Hfi | ago. Another flrty years will probably bring
Hk the Grand Army of the Kepubllc tou similar
HE ! ending , although it will nuvo u successor in
HPJ in the organization known as the Sons or Vet-
H | § eranB.
Hw ' They aro going to "recount" in all tho dis
S tricts In tho solid houth where icpublieans
I were olected according to tho returns , and
HI Gorman expects , with the aid of democratic
1 governors , to secure a democratic mujority In
1 the house. The democratic clerk of the house
HI is expected to assist when he prepares his
HP "ro11 of members" so as to give the democrats
HE tne mojortty for temporary organization and
Hlj secure democratic eouimittees. Tho solid
H bouth is pretty hard to beat after all.

Hp Tho practice of running trains on the left

Hq b > ' railroad corporations throughout the Unit-

B Middle and Atlantic states and at outposts
H | from San FranciECO to Boston , St. Paul to New

HI ) advantago being that commercial travelers
Hi and others who use mileage tickets would not
HI be likely to sell a ticker or part of a ticket
Hi which would bo good over any line they might
H | wish to travel over. '
H | Tho Missouri court of appeals has given
Hf great joy to tho railway deadheads. Ithasar
Hi flnned the judgment of a lower court , which
Hf decided that notwithstanding the holder of a
HI free pasB agrees to assume all risks of accident ,
HI yet it is tho duty of the railroad company to
H | do all that human care , skill and ingenuity can
Hf debase in the way of safe coaches , tracks and ,
Hi machineiy and to keep the same in proper re
Hf pair , and even if the passenger were a free
H | rider , they were liable for damage that might ,
Hi . follow a disregard of these precautions. T
HI Some excitement has arisen in railroad cirt
1 clcs over the bill now drawn up and ready for s
H | . presentation oefore the Kansas state legislaf f
HI turo to regulate the operation , and correct -
H abuses of the Pullman car services. The bill
H regulates the prico of berths at § 2 per night
jl and 53 per twenty-four hours. The upper u
Bjf berth , when vacant , must be closed to aid Jj
HL vontilatlon , and the maximum wages of the b
J porter is fixed at $3 50 per day instead of $12 I
K ! per week , the former rate , while it makes it a
J misdemeanor for tho porter to accept any s
| j • • tips" or remuneration for services rendeied h
f j from the passengers. q

mac the mileage was 105. in the middle states
170. on tho Pacific slope 1,123. This leaves a
milcsgo in the states between the Kocky ,
mountains and the Allegheules , and north ol I
the latitude of Tennessee , of 2.011. It will thus r
be-seen that the mileage of the south for the '
{ 'year , up to October , Jsgreator than thatofany
other single section. These figures show an
advancement of the commercial interests of
tho south , and a rapid development of her ma-
terial resources which is highly encouraging.
The safety of the traveling public Is being
more fully compassed every year by the num-
crous appliances invented for their protection.
Jl new device is said to have recent'y been per
I fected in Australia which insures almost absoT
lute safety to railway trains running at a high I
1 ' rate of speed. It consists of an electric truck
1 which is run at any desirable distance in ad-
I ranee of the locomotive , with which it Is con-
I nected by wires. In tho event of any accident
to the truck the breaking of the electric cur
rent at once applies automatic breaks , and
the train will be brought to a stand-still. The
experiments with this new invention are said
to have been wonderfully successful. Of
course. It does not provide against accidents
from causes that would not affect the pilot ,
hut It furnishes a measure of protection that a ,

The election or tho republican IcBlRlature if
a terrible Mow to the llnyitrd nud Salisbury
f'imlllcs In Diiluwiire , mid they < IoiiIii1cp8 < 'X
pect tho sky to rail next. Hiill liur.v'8 term ex
pires next March , and there wiih to Inivo beOH
a regular old time contest botweon him and
Secretary llityard. who had boon succeeded by
hlR next friend. Gray , but who lld not wnntt
wait for his plum to drop. Salisbury Is quite
aged ns well as snmowhitt irlvon to drink , nnd
Bayard thought.ho could down hlrn. nut Del
aware has knocked them both out. and aro
publican will for tho first time In history repre
sent that state In thcsoiitite. A brother-in-law
of llayurd. who is a republican , will endeavor
to keep tho souatorehlp In the family , but as
ho lives In Gray's count ) ' , and there aro no ro
publicans in.tlio legislature from New Castle ,
ho will probatriy not be round atallublc. Tho
canvass has iilieidy : commenced.
A conspicuous illustration or the "laws de
lay" Is iurnislipd in a case which has just
been decided In the supicmo court of tho
United States. Tho cause wns brought thirty-
five yeurs ago. Almost all tho persons oriir
inally interested are dead , nod the value of
tho property in litigation has been practically
consumed in costs and lawyer's Tees. Such de
lay and expense in litigation is not creditable
to tho system of justice in this country , nnd
the case in question ompbasizes the necessity
of adopting some measures for relieving the
congested condition of tho business of the
supremo tribunal of the United States.
The prediction Is made that the congression
al apportionment which will follow the taking
or the next census will so ehnuge the relation
of the states to tho electoral college that New
York will no longer dictate the political action
of li th parties in national nominations. If
this should prove to tie thecaso.it would mark
a departure which would bo hailed with gen
oral satisfaction by the voters or both or tho
lending political parties tlirnuirhout the coun
try. The power which tho Empire statu Iihr
exortediipnn | the 'jolltlos of the country has
been far from who'egom *
"Dan , " observed the prcs-idetit. "isn't there a
passage in the scripture to the effect that
"whom tho Lord loveth He chasteneth ? "
"There is , " replied D.m. Tho president pon
dered deeply u few momenta. "Dan. " ho said
at ; last. "I don't want to srem ungrateful , but
if it's only 'oviinr ' chastisement to bo allowed
to carry Connecticut and New Jersey and he
used like a floor-mop in every other northern
6tatc. ' all I've got to say. Dan , is that this chas
. tisement business is justa little oveidnue , and
I don't care a continental who knows it. "
It seems that there is u prospect that Hon
Warner Miller will he returned to the United
States < Senate from New York in place of Sena
tor | William EvartH , who will in nil probability
ho appointed tn thesiipieine bench to fill the
vacancy caused by the letiiement of linlge
;
Blackford. Mr. Miller has surely earned con
sideration at the hands ot the republican par
ty , of New York , and possesses the ability to
represent , that state in the national council
with ' credit to himself nnd the state.
