By winter tie New York Central
Railroad will have four tracks from AL
bany to Buffalo. The rails are of
steel and the bridges of iron. The
extra tracks are constructed at an ex-
pense of $2o,o0O,000, and were rem
dered necessary by the immense and
increasing business of the road. The
same company baye also taken the in
itiative in the building Of elevators in
New York city. Negotiations have
been concluded with the city authori-
ties, and the building is to be com
menced at once. This will set the other
roads to work and the lake cities will
no longer monopolizc the elcvatoa
system. Both the Erie and Pennsyl-
vania Companies have expressed their
purpose to follow suit. In the perfec-
ton Of the New York Central road
we have an example Of what all rail
roads of any Importance in thiscountry
areto become, Our present cheap and
temporary constructions will give place
to works of permanent strength and
solidity. The day of single tracks,
iron rails and decidity trestle-work
bridges will be over; and the increase
Of facilities and safety will give us
cheaper transportation.

TnE National Crop Reporter of the
9th inst. publishes info rmation of the
growing crops, of which the following
is synopsis:
The area soWn in wheat last season
in the states of Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,
Ohio, and Wisconsin, is estimated in
round numbers at 13,5O0,00 0 acres.
The reports of correspondents make an
increase in the present crop year of
1,367,753 acres, or total area of a.
sl2,344 acres. The yield of a good
average season approximates, in the
states mentioned, Is 40 bushels per
acre. At this rate the yield in those
states at harvest will be fraction less
than 2Oo,000,OOO bushels. The pres
ent condition of the growing wheat be-
ing full average probability of har-
vest the approximating amount men,
toned is very good, The area seeded
in oats in the same states in 1873, is
placed at 4,427, 900 acres. The in
crease this year is estimated at 1884,
900 acres, or total of 5,6s7 600 acres.
At the average yield of a good season,
say about 333 bushels per acre, the to-
tai crop at harvest in these states will
approximate 100000, bushels.

Waste Land in Great Britain.

Reports by telegraph have stated
that the great lockout in the eastern
counties of England had terminated
but still later reports through CORES
pondents give us to understand that
not only has there been no agreement
between the farmers and laborers, but
that the bitter feeling is on the in.
crease, and that the lockout is extend.
ing over the island. 1t does seem, with
all the waste land in Great Britain, that
abundance of work might be furnished
all observation-disclosures at liberal prices.
If it were not that the aristocracy had
appropriated such large tracts of land
in an aggregate 7 900 900 acres-la-
borers would have some chance Of get
ting work. There are in Great Brit
ain, which has an area Of 56,815,353
acres, 23,525,675 acres of land in a
state ofnature; in England alone, with
an area of 25, l02,8l5 acres, there are
1000, 900 acres, or about ISL per cent,
of uncultivated land.

SAYS the New York Herald: Sem
ator Carpenter has taken sides with the
people of Wisconsin in favor of what
is known as the Potter railroad bill.
Strangely enough this is made an ar
gument against his reelection to the
United States Senate, not because he
is on the wrong side. but upon the as
sumption that he would have been on
the wrong side if he had believed the
wrong side would win. We should
prefer to consider his reelection to
the senate upon higher grounds than
this-the grounds of fitness. 1t is SO
easy to impute bad motives that such
imputations have become the bane of
American politics. But it is clearly
unfair to associate two distinct objects
and treat them as one. Senator Car
penter's reelection is question to be
determined on its merits, and the rail-
road question is quite different mat
ter, to be settled in the interests of the
people. By dragging purely personal
or political considerations into the con-
troversy the monopolies are strength
ened, while no good result is gained

The Washington correspondent of
the Springfield Republican says the
nomination Of Gen. Bristow as secrc-
tary of the treasury gives general sat-
isfaction in both houses. He is the
first true representative of the respect
alb lie Union men ofthe South who has
been rendered sea- in Grants cabinet.
He occupied leading position among
the Union men in Kentucky in 1861 i,
and was among the first to enter the
Union service from thatstate. Since the
war be has been one of the most promi-
nent lawyers there, and, later, during
two years served here as solicitor-gen-
eral. He was regarded as one of the
strongest men of his professor in the
department.. He is a mar of great ex-
ecutive ability, and while he does not
pretend to possess unusual financial abil-
ity,it is believed by all of his friends
that he will administer the affairs of
the department with vigor, and soon
restore general confidence.

Appointment of Chief Justice.

Gov. TAYLOR, on Monday evening
appointed E. G. Ryan, of Milwaukee,
Chief Justice of the. Supreme Court.
in place Of Hon. Luther Dixon, who: G
resignation we noticed lass-week. The
Madison Journcl Of Tuesday s'does him
up" thus:
Z. G. Ryan is man of great abil-
ity as an advocate. He has strong
passions and prejudices. He has been
an ultra Radical Democrat of the state
rights school, and took extreme views,
very offensive to majority of the
people, in his famous address, publish
ed in September, 1862. But he is a
very able lawyer, and has lived long
enough to be ripened and mellowed by
years and experience.
The Milwaukee Sentnel criticises the
appointment quite sharply, and closes
as follows:
The Sentinel had sincerely hoped
that Gov. Taylor would select fl
successor for Chief Justice Dixon
whose retirement from the bench is
recognized as very great loss to the
State. If such an appointment had
been made, no considerations of par
tisanship would have induced this
journal to withhold its COMMUNICATION
It regards the appointment of Mr.
Ryan as one peculiarly unfit to be made
and does not hesitate so to character
ize it. An election for Chief Justice
will be held in April next, and it i.
probable, from the vantage grounds Of
his incumbancy, Mr.. Ryan will be the
Democratic candidate. The ,Sentiae
will urge the Republicans to put for
ward candidate who shall possess IN
questionable qualifications, and has M
doubt as to the result.

THE Racine Journal looks at it il

THE Racine Journal looks at it in
this way:
"Gov. Taylor's proclamation is a
model-we mean the last one, without
he has issued another since we have
gone to press. 1t is the one that ad-
vises the people to pay only three cents
mile, or else have lawsuit. If the
great proclamation wants to do any
thing in that line, why dent he COM
mence with the officers and managers
Of the roads, and not attack men who
are compelled to do the bidding of the
officials under penalty of being dis
charged, many of whom have families
to support. Let the conductors and
agents alone. If you want to fight
somebody, take one of your size, Gov
ernor, and go for railroad president.
There are lots of them with chips on
their sholders for you to knock off.
