A New AND EFFECTIVE SwITcH-The New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Com
pany are considering the feasibility of adopting
switch Of the following kind: The lever Of
try box. the door of which is locked When
the swltchnian opens the switch, he thereby
shuts the door Of the house or box. If by any
chance train comes along while the switch is
open he must make his escape from the box to
avold the probability Of being himself killed.
He cannot make his escape without shutting
the switch. Therefore, every time swtchman
opens switch he is bound under penalty of
death to have itelosed before any train comes
along. One man can attend to only one switch

II is somewhat matter Of surprise that

customary revolution for two months, and
that there is every indication that this state

The H4c>sem Taught.

The lesson taught by the late defeat
of the Democratic party should not pass
unheedcd by the party now about to as
sumo control of the public affairs of the
State. So long as party works for the
interest of the people, so long will the
people sustain them. When they be-
come recreant to their trust aud un-
worthy of support they may expect
that defeat which their actions merit,
and which will surely come. The Dem>
ocratic party have, in their administers
ton of State affairs, been reckless
and improvident. Bent upon making
the most out Of short lease of power,
they legislated for the benefit of the
few at the expense of the many. Clique8
and rings held supreme sway, and the
wishes and wills of the State had to be
sacrificed to theirs. The Republican
party comes into power at time when
great interests are at stake, when
prompt and efficient legislation is de-
manded, when the prosperity of our
State for years to come depends upon
its Immediate action.
The grant of lands known as the
Swamp Lands, should be looked after
in a manner which should carry out the
intents of the grant and secure the set
tier in his legal rights. The canal and
locks at Oregon City should be built in
such manner as to open transportation
on the Willamette river, and prevent
any opportunities for monopoly of the
carrying trade. The railroad interests
Of the State should be fostered and pros
tected, and the railroad companies
should be required to fence their roads
and take all precautions to avert all
danger to the life and property of each
and every citizen. We need a school
law which shall secure to each and every
citizen, whether rich or poor, IN oppor-.
tunity tc secure common school edu-
cation. These and many other matters
Of importance will demand the attention
and require the prompt acton OF our
Legislature. Well will it be for them if
they answer promptly and efficiently to
these requirements, and thus secure to
the party the lease of power in the
State which the Democracy had, and
might have held if they had not been
" weighed in the balance and found
wanting"
In our country, mere particularly in
this western part Of it, the people are
jealous Of their rights and privileges,
and the party which works the hardest
to secure and perpctuate the rights. OF
each and. every citizen is the one which |
will remain the longest in power-aS
we have evidenced that whenever |
party becomes recreaut 10 trust 1t takes
but q short time TO create u revolution
and secure its defeat

A 1t is amusing to SEQ how some of our
Democratic contemporaries are endeav>
oring to dstort facts, in order to endorse
the Cincinnati nomination, and at the
same time appear consistent. They
seem willing to stultify their own record
provided they can do it in such a way
as not to be detected by the great mass
of their own party. The Herald of the
9Th inst, deludes itself, and endeavors
to delude its readers, into the belief that
any step taken in the Republican party,
which tends toward reform of abuses
and corruptions, begets necessity to
'resort to the principles of the Demo,
cratic party" That in all the political
ills of which the country complains, a
resort is forced to the Democracy for a
remedy. Now let US seeif in accept
ing the Cincinnati platform, the Democ-
racY have made any endorsement of
Republican principles: The first resolu
ton of the Cincinnati platform reads ::
owe recognize the equality of men
before the law, and hold that it is the
duty of the Government, in its dealings
with the people, to mete out equal and
exact justice to all, of whatever ma
tiyity, race, color OF persuasion, reiig-
ious or political
Is there anything in this which sa-
vors. much of the Democratic sentiment
which has been taught by the press of
that party, denunciatory of those per
sous who for years have been the butt
of ridieule for their advocacy OF univcr-
sal suffrage aud niggar" equality.
Who has forgotten the torrents of abuse
which has been hurled at the advocates
of the doctrine of "equal and exact
justice toall, Of whatever race or color p
Is there any return in this to the
principles of the Democratic party
as indicated by the HeraH? Again:
the second resolution is no less antag
onistic to the "old principles" of De
mocracy than the first:
"We pledge ourselves TO maintain
the lay, the union of these States
emancipation and enIranchis"meut, and
to oppose any ro-orcning of tie question
settled by the Thirteenth, Fourteenth,
aud Fifteenth Amendments Of the
Constitution"
Now, we ask in all cauiar, how can
any party, after denouneing the Amend
ments a. I" frauds upon the people. con-
ceived in fraud aud brought forth in
iniquity." now have the audaciiy to
claim that lhe endorsement Of these
doctrines is in any way resort to the
principles Of the Democratic par'y?'
No, Mr.. HeraH, you may blind some
of the more ignorant portion Of your
party to the belief that the endorsement
Of the Cincinnati ticket is Il & resort to
the principles Of the Democracy" but
the more intelligent po rtion will look
upon it as a clear abandonment Of all the
q time honored" principles OF Dcmoc-
racy, and complete surrender to that
portion of the enemy who have no.
been acknowledged as leaders, but who,
as hangers on have endcavored TO lead,
but failing in it, have now, seeing the
desperate straits to which the Democ-
racy was thrust, made bid for their as
sistancc. 49," When the blind lead the
will merit aud receive

THE NOON MEETINGS.

The T. NJ. C. A. Daily Religious Services to
Be Resumed To-tuy in Methodist Church
Block.
ALI Of our readers who we're in sympathy with
the daily religious gatherings before tho fire,
for 30 many years held at MONDAY in the Young
Mems Christian Association rooms, will to glad
to learn that they aroto be resumed to-day. The
lecture-roou Of the First Methodist Church,
corner of Clark and Washington streets, has
been engaged for the purpose, and the first
meeting for the Sunday School teachers pre-
paration on the lesson, will be held to-day, at
noon. Previous to the fire, these meetings
we're very largely attended, and were regarded
Of sufficient interest to bo reported, in
part or full, not only in the city
secular and religious journals, but frequently
in the religious papers throughout the land.
Non-sectarian in character, Christians Of what
ever name are free to participate in its exer-
ciEes. Since the fire similar meetings have been
held. one at the West Side Y, II. G. i. rooms,
and the other at the First Baptist Church-Y. II.
c. 4. headquarters for the South Side. It is
now proposed to unite the two in body es they
have always been in spirit, and all who are
favorable to tue meeting are invited to show
their sympathy by being present at the REOPEN
ing. The meeting to-day will be led by B. b.
Jacobs. D. ". WMttle, E. s. Albro, Henry More
house, and Il. L. Hastings, have promised to be
present, and many Of our city pastors are ex-
pected to contribute information and interest to
the OCCASION The music will be conducted by
Professor Bliss, assisted By Mr. J. D. Sankey.

SAFETY FROTl FIFE.

TO the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
Sm: There have been several attempts at
incendiarism Of late. These attempts have been
made on the West Side, in quarters where, in
case fire should get well started, another terri
BILE calamity might befall us.
There is no use in binding ourselves to actual
facts, nor is it wise to indulge in fancied &C.
curity. The attempts that have been made will
bio made again. Between this and spring, We
will have many boiaterious and windy nights.
Are We prepared to subduo fire, in any and
every part Of tie city, that might break out at
such time?
This subject is so vastly important that make
no apology for again t1espassing upon your ct
tention. That this city has been once burned,
SO far from being any proof that it will not bo
burned . second tine, affords positive evidence
that 1t may be, and thus increases the probability.
Incendiaries havo beca taught the lesson, and
they may profit by it. These are not idle words;
but simple common senge. I think it may be
stated with truth that there never was time in
the history of this city when so many deprayed
and disorderly characters were in it's midst, as
now. There are thousands out Of employment,
and hundreds who live by crime in all its various
and damnable departments.
Many who tread upon the thin surface Of af-
faira hardly dream OF the dangerous element
that eeethes and foams below, But this element
exists, and ~ colossal proportions. We should
tion as the public security demands. That this
city coufd DO made perfectly Safe Tor every clt-
zen to walk Its streets by day or night, I enter
tain no doubt.
This is the case with several European cities.
Paris Is safer By night thas Chicago by'daS. In
