THE Chicago Time * says : "Tho Cincinnati dark horup , for dark horse It will b9 , of cours ? , must needs be a powerful goer. Up to date the Garfield - field nag has never lost a race. WE can easily explain it. When Iha president r ad Ballou's serenade ppeoch and foundtbat he didn't want lha office he concluded to withdraw Jiis name. Mr. 'Hayes Istj-'t disposed to thrust an office on anyb6dy' . " OUR city council was decidedly economical in counting the expense to. he incurred for advertiaing for'pro posals for waterworks in the New York JTcrald , Chicago Times , Boston Post nnd Philadelphia Time * to thirty dollars. We venture the prediction lhatit will cost nearly Ihst sum to in- rt that advertisement in the New York Herald for one single issue , Tan outcome at Cincinnati at this day is as problematic as was the out come at Chicago ten dnys ago. Sam Tilden still holds the largest and most nolid block of delegates , but is very far short of the two-thirds required for a nomination. It is true that ho was in the earno predicament last time pnd yet he managed to pull through. it is equally true , however , that the opposition to his candidacy is more dif fused throughout the party and more decided in ita character than it was four years ago.Tho oventa of the 1 ist campaign destroyed the confidence felt by many democrats in his available qualities. A candtfato should bo strong en three points ; he should pay ) i'"s campaign deists , Tie should make no bargains at the expense of his par ty , and , if elected , or believed to be en , he should showno weakness in getting the office. On all these points Itlr. Tildon bioko down ; and in some parts of the country the opposition to his nomination la intense. Should this nomination fail , it is tlaimed that he can dictate the can didate. This is not certain. General Grant's friends tatd the eamo this year. Elaine's following thought a ranch of their power > in 1B7G. But neither party was'relatively as 'strong ni Mr. Tilden will be at Cincinnati. ; Under the two-thirds rule , the Grant men oculd have prevented the nomi nation of any one not acceptable to themselves. And if Mr. Tilden's column : umn is as solid as that led by the re publican triumvirs , he will have the choice of a candidate.

Bayard is the choice of the young , hopeful and progrcsslrff elements of the party ; and theywDl urge Gar- iield's nomination as a reason for put ting into the field a man equally ac ceptable to the aggressive nnd re formatory element Mr. Bayard is , not quite unworthy of the admiration he excitee , though , to our thinking , it is somewhat exaggerated. The worst thing against him is his record at the opening of the rebellion.

In a printed proposal forward ed to this paper Mr. Beck offers a prize of § 300 to any person who will devise a political measure better adapted to accomplish the ends of government as formulated in the pre amble to the nations ! constitution than the plan which he has deviaed , or he will pay that sum to any person who will demonstrate that hia scheme would not be an improvement on the existing form of government in this country. * The award is to made by twenty-five jurora who feir God , love truth , and hate covetousnets. After ton holirs discussion of the merits of the Echcmo , parties desiring to compete for the prize are to present their scheme _ and transmit a copy to Mr. Beck before July4tb , 1882. ' \ Mr. Beck's scheme is decidedly pa ternal. In order that all American citizens shall have homes of their own , he proposes that the national governmou't shall impiove all the public lauds fit for farming aud parcel , them out in homesteads of suitable size. The natioupl government is also ( o em bark in the land redistribution busi ness by purchasing lands of individ- vals and corporations and ] compel land owners to sell a portion of their large estates when it bacomei neces sary. sary.To To carry out this paternal siheme the government shall issue an ade quate amount of legal tender paper currency i , which shall bo refunded to her by homesteaders on these lands , who eha1 ! be required to refnnd at leatt one per cent , per annum on the cost of their homestoids until the gov ernment is reimbursed for fitting up tlie same. A failure to pay tlie annual installment due the government shall work a fcrfeitnre of the homesteader's claim , but shall not debar him from taking one elsewhere when all dues on the forfeited claim are paid up. These homesteads shill bo transferable , but no pen on shall ever be permitted to own in his or her name at any one time of life more tlnn 1GO acres of these lands. Mr Beck in liia printed circular argues at considerable Icnr h in favor of what he deems a strictly .original and entirely feasible scheme. Like a1 ! visionary discoverers of the coming milloneum Mr. Beck is an enthusiast on his scheme as wiil be seen by the following extracts from his circular : An inflation of the currency , how ever great it may 1)3 , cannot work a public 1 injury or bring about a reac tion If every dollar that goes into cir culation is preceded by a dollar's worth of useful work in fitting up a home for some family that needs it. Here is a Echeme to inflate the currency and at the same time inaugurate useful labor , furaieh homes for those who need them , develop the resources of the country , add billions to her tasa- blo property , and strengthen the sta bility of her free institutions. Agri- culturj being the base of all other in dustries thefoundation of individual , state and national prosperity , security and happiness ; to foster it is to foster every other legiti mate calling among men. If the far mer prospers so does the mechanic if these two prosper so does the mer chant ; if these three prosper so do all other callings. If agriculture lan guishes , everything languishes. Stim ulate the agricultural interests and all interests are stimulated. This scheme will inaugurate agricultural and rural lifo on the grandest scale over pro- posoi. Put your screws under the foundation cf your houao and raise that up and up goes the whole house. Agriculture is ilio foundation under with the screws and let the great tem ple of abundance , equality , justica , harmony , industry , protection , free dom aud peace go up. To help the poor to homes of their own as here proposed , would do more Co help the poor and down-trodden of other lands than anything else we can do. They would naturally inquire why their rulers did not take steps to make them freeholders also. They would demand the same law tor them selves and thev would do this with an emphasis that could not be disre garded. Philosophers and statesman have all along felt that something was wrong somewhere. They have rea lized that the poor should own the oil they cultivate. But .how to es- abHsh them in the ownership has seen the puzzling question. The question is here solved and in the joy f my heart , I feel like shouting To be wealthy is to possess useful or lecesaary things or the means of pur- jhasing them. Wealth Ls the product f labor. Any system of financial .eg'alatiou that does not in some way promote useful labor docs not and iannot add to the real wealth of the sountry. Hero is a scheme which iu- mgurates labor of the most useful kind ind that too on the grandest scale. V.dopt this policy and Ibt the homeless ioor who walk the earth seeking work nd finding none , come to the front , hrow up" their hats and shout If the cultivators of the soil ara to le tenants and not freeholders tbe ewer the freeholders and the larger he estates the better ; for it is easier or many tenant farmers to support me aristocratic family than to sup- tort many. Mr. Beck , in the goodness of his leart , and exuberance over his mar- clous discovery-of the philosopher's tone , evidently forgels that Jiis chrao involves a revolution in our o Fstern of jovernment ; ( hat it wocld estroy what it has taken more than a entury to build up. In iho first lace" the proposed unlimited issue of ur currency would destroy our na1 l' credit at home and abroad , ' istnrb all property values and ruin , ar commerce. In the next1 place ttie ki : ttempt to limit the acreage of each kitl inner would be impracticable and. in tlec elation of the fundamental rights iiE property. Before poverty can be E . w. jolishod by law you must enforce in- th istry and frugality bylaw , and make th lenesa the greatest crime against eo- adbi If all the bummeVa and vagrants in'1y country were made , tho" owners of va rms and louseff of I to-morrow more4 tr < an one-half of them would be on co ; tramp within less than thirfy ca. fs. In a free country .like ours , ere the avenues to wealth are open gai all men wlo are willing to labor , to : nu * * i " * " ' * * - jff- ' " gance and a reckless disregard of the laws of nature in excessive drink. No Scheme' ever devised by man can transfer tauch * paupers into in dustrious homoiteadera. Men who will not work iu cities _ will not work on farms. A Hailcoaa Ca-dldats. St. Louis Globe Democrat. Among the possible candidates of the democracy at Cincinnati we find frequent mention of the name of Jewett , of the Erie.road , and stranger things have happened than that he should be nominated. ' It seems to bo the established rule of conventions , that the favorites should be beaten by a dark horse , and the two-thirda rule which prevails in the democratic con ventions is more deadly to the favor ites than the bare majorities which is required in a republican convention. Couventions are organized not for the "purpose of nominating the'strongest man , but of defeating them , and the result is always the unexpected. After the Cincinnati convention baa killed off the Bayards aud Thurmaus and Tddens and Hondricka and Seymour ? , and got down among the Morrisons and "llandalls and Palmers , it might easily happen that the stampede which means victory should hand the nomination over to Jewett , whose solo distinction ia that he hat been a bril liant and able manager of unsuccessful railroads. It would ceitaiuly be to the advan tage of 'tho country to have Jowett nominated , became his candidacy test a question which -nill soon come up in one shape or another the ques tion as to which is the stronger , the government or the railroads. Mr. Jewett's candidacy has , in advance , the approval of the leading minds of hia profe'sion. The Pennsylvania people think very highly cf him , al though ho has managed a rival road , nnd the simo is true of Vanderbilt Jay Gould. whoso transactions in Erie gave an op portunity for the sftbscquent display of Mr. Jewett's ability in jepairing wrecks , would find in the _ nommaton : of Mr. Jewott consolation for the defeat - feat of Mr. Blaiue , and we may be sure that the various Pacific railroads would contribute campaign funds for the election of a geiitlem < m whose way of looking at the relations between the railroads and the government so beautifully harmonizes with theirown. It w.ould bo very interesting to have the full strength of the railroads put forward in such a struggle , be cause then wo should have an oppor tunity of Jcarning , under the most fa vorable circumstances , what the rail road slrength amounts to. Hereto fore , in tha contests between the rail road corporations and the popular governing1 bodies , we * have seen only isolated and individual exertions of strength , although it is to be noted that in every case the railroads have come out ahead. Thirteen years ago the Missouri railroads tackled the Missouri legiilaturo , and when the conflict is over , the railroad people ple had all the property and the people ple of the state had all the load to carry. Three years ago the Hannibal and St. Joe railroad , single-handed and unaided , bucked against the state , and the state fared no better than a country bompkin in a bunko den. We do not need to recall the success with which the Pacific railroad corporations first extracted from the treasury enough money to build the roads , and then beat the national government on a plsin question of paying interest on the debt which created the railroads. * * * * * * The New York Central railroad re presents § 130,000,000 of investment , and § 30,000,000 of annual business. The Pennsylvania road repres3iita § 150,000,000 , and § 40 , 000 , 000 of busi ness ; the Union and Central Pacific represent between them nearly § 300- 000,000. A mortgage was last week filed in St. Louis , on a single railroad , for § 50,000,000. Enormous as arethese figures , they are but the beginning , or rather the first landing-pUcc inacourto of consolidation which is part of ( ho destiny of railroads. Our country is very large , and the necessities of com petition compel the ovinerj of railroad property ( o unite vast systems under one management. The greater the mileage of our wilroads , the the investment , the business and the influence , the smaller the number cf corporations , and in a very few years we. will find the whole railroad property of this country under thothc manage ment and control of a dozen or so of magnates , united in purpose , inex haustible in resources and not over scrupulous in the UEO of them. Any one who BtooJ to think of it cannot help thinking that the country is in leas danger from any third term move ment than it is from the influence of railroad corporations. As the teat has got to come , and as the eoontr it comes the bolter , we should like to see Jewelt nominated at Cincinnati , if the dark horae is going to get it. r Oregon Politically. San Francisco Chrouicle Jono 12. I That the republican state ticket I has triumphed iu Oregon by from 1200 to 1600 majority is now admitted. The Oregon .democratic senators at Washington deceived themselves by an underestimate of the republican strength jn Portland and an overesti- [ mataof their own in the counties cast of the Cascade mountains. Portland is in the county of Multnomab , which is tha heavy county of the state andol- ways decidedly republican. But this year it surpassed all former effort' , both in thetotil vote and the republi can majority. In 1876 the total vote for president was 3G19 , and Hayes' , majority 599 over all. This year the total vote is 4929 and the republican majority 11G9. The eastern counties , owing to republican .accessions witbin the last year and a half'from the eastern and western states , do not appear to have done as iwell as usual for the demo cratic ticket ; but if they had , Mult- nomah would still have made the state f sure for a fair republican majority , rhat party has secured both branches af the legislature , the congressman , tl tlle ill the judges cf the supreme court le leci md every county officer in Multno- ci : nan. Thfe victory is complete and ciC yverwbelminjr , and it means that Gar- C ield and- Arthur will eecure Oregon tl tlfe jeyond a doubt next November.

The greater majority tht RAILWAY NOTES. A. fast train in Georgia runs about twenty miles an hour. The accommo dation glides along about as fast as a man can walk. There are now 3,104 miles of rail road in Kansas , and ihey are assessed at § 20,647,802. The actual value of these roads exceeds one hundred mil lion dollars. The Wabash road has let contracts for 200,000 ties and 1,000,000 feet of bridge timber , intending to place the middle division , batween Fort Wayne and Danville , in first-class shape. Jn addition to their present equipment they have ordered ten now chair cans , 500 grain , and seven locomotives. The Flint and Pere M rquette rail road has completed a branch , known as tha Round Lake branch , from But ler junction , fifteen miles east of Lud- ington , Mich. , north to Webster , a distance of four miles. Surveys are being made for an extension from Webster northwest twenty miles to the important lumber town of Mania- tec , Michigan. A carious car on the Boston and Albany railroad is provided with va rious devices for testing speed , strain * , obstructions , resistance and other matters connected with the running of trains. Different pens , attached to ingenious machinery , record the distance and time , the slips of the driving wheels on the rail ? , the exact elevation of the outside rail at every carve , and many other points of valu able information in practical railroad ing.A A patent has been granted to James R. Cox , of Auburn , N. Y. , for run ning railway coaches or carriages on skates instead of wheels , and it is es pecially designed for elevated roads. In the place of the ordinary wheals on tha ordinary rails , aubatituto in inng- inatioii a grooved skate and a rail to correspond and you have the princi ple. By this mode all noise is obvi ated , and , as Mr. Cox says , there will be lets friction , according to the opin ion of the o'dest and ablest engineer ; , than on iho journids of the wheels nowinuso. Five cars have just been completed for the Wabashroad by the Barney & Smith company , of Dayton. They are deaeribzd as high and roomyfifty- four feet longand capable of seating sixty-four peopl ? , and a very desirable innovation and improvement with toilet accommodations , comprising marble stands and bowli , eleg-mt baskets and trimmings of copper brot'z- ' > , the outside painting io one case , being done ia "chocolate , goli , blue , pink and wine color.

An engine that will pull a short train without flame , smoke grease or noise is precisely what is needed on elevated railways. .Such an engine. Colonel Beaumont , an English en- gliih engineer , is reported to have in- veutad. Air is stored in a reservoir under a pressure of 1000 pounds to the square inch , and delivered thence , first into a small and then into larger cylinders , whence , after giving out its force , it passes into the outer air. An old difficulty , that compressed air freezes the atmosphere , which con denses on the joints of the engine , has been overcome ; and the engine can now haul a grojs load of tirenty- two tons for eleven miles , or twelve tons for twenty miles , with ono charge of air. BLACK HILLS NUGGETS. The now road between Lead City aud Ponnington h now completed , and is a good one. Rockorville will be supplied with water through the great Spring creek flume by the first of August. This ycar'tho Rapid valley pro duces its first crop of domestic fruits strawberries , currants and goose berries. Tha Boulder ditch hydraulic com pany startsd up on the 10th on the hill above Montana City , and it is said they everlastingly made the gravel fly. The hte storm when it struck False- bottom , about helve mifes from Dead- wcod , was attended by violent hail and it is feired much damage was done to wheat and oat crops. i A bad-rock tunnel consolidation enterprise is assuming shape that will probably throw into the shade all the placer mining cntsrprises yet set on foot in the Center Hills. Work on the Spearfish ditch is being - ing pressed. It is calculated by the engineer in charge of the work that the ditch and flume will carry 500 miner's inches of water. The Sidney Stage company will very soon put a line of six-horse coaches on between Rapid City and Fort Pierre. This new route will connect with the Deadwood aud Cus- ter lines. At least throe times the quantity of general merchandise has been sold in Pennington county sinea the 6rst of last January as was eold for the cor responding period last year. The government telegraph line is now completed through to Fort Sully and open for business. The North western company will construct a ine from Yankton to Sully , and have it iu running order during the next four weeks. > The new road of the Doidwood and > Centennial Valley company , will bo apen for light teams by July 4 , and for all vehicles by the lirst of August By this route the distance from Doad- ivood to Crook will ba reduced from ten and one-quarter miles to six and leven-eighth miles , while all hills will L. 30 avoided.

The BostonSbipping List says : The. . market remains in the tame quiet state previously fnoticed. . Prices are gradually settling down , and cash week for aome weeks past has led to a lower basis , both here and in the in torior.

The princi pal business the pait week has been ia Kentucky combing ; some lead ing mills have bought quite freely at 3G@37c , but 30@36jc may bo considered a quotation for de sirable loti at the close.
