ABOLISHING THE RAILROAD
WHISTLE.

On the road between Worcester and
Boston they have been trying the ex-
pertinent OF doing without whistles
on most of the trains. On the 18th
of August the experiment was begun,
and up to the present time not one
accident has occurred through the 81
lence of the whistle. And this was
tried upon road where a constant
stream of people were crossing either
on foot or in carriages. Within
seventeen miles of Boston it Is estl-
mated that the number crossing the
track in carriages was between I 900
and 5000. while on foot were as
many more. The trains, including
freight. passing over the road every
twenty-four hours We're over one
hundred. The plan for safely leav-
ing off the Use of the whistle was to
use the bell through the day, and the
headlight at night, and by its very
absence make flag and gate men and
station agents depend more upon the
time for being at their posts than the
signal for callingfhem to them. The
increased watchfulnes,s TINS required
increases the safety of all those about
the stations or crossings. 1t Is not
known to what extent This Will he
tried, but the result Of fonr weeks
ousht certainly to be good argn-
Inent in favor of a decrease of noise,
and a corresponding increase Of Wig
ilance on the part Of the public.

Roscoe ConklInq.

This hero of the :! Brazen Tuft of
Hair" has delivered pancgyric OH
Grant and a TRADE on Shurz in the
Senate of the United StatcS-and
the principal argument he uses
,~z,ins: his iiiustrious G erman antag-
oniSt is that a German paper in
Chicago, has abused the most elo-
Quent man who has been in the Sch
ate since the days of Webster. In
answer to this the noble German,
e xtracted all the sting by simply
replying that the editor of the indiS-
nant sheet was Il Revenue Collector,
a helnciInan of the Presidents suck
or of government pap. So come to
grief all these Swiss like Morton
and Cameron and Conkling; every
body knows they are mere time
servers, and that their most noisy
hackers are the members of the
Grand Army of Public Blood Suck
ers. These men think they can keep
the section of this Union apart for
ever-that brotherhood and peace
and mutual forgiveness and charity
for each others fanlts can never
come. But they must remember
that the Mississippi river flows from
the extreme North to the extreme
South, that the people who live on
it's banks have nearly all their ma
terial interests in common, and that
some day they must wake up and
find that the same flock of political
crows prey upon their corn fields
alike, and then they will kill the
crows, and all will he prosperous
God speed the day when such fel-
lows as Conkling may he known as
they exist, men with much impu-
dence and brass, corrupt hearts and
empty heads.
