The New York Evening Post, in noticing
the opening of the new line from Portland to
Worcester, says there are three commercial
centers in the East which have conspicuously
stood in the way of the general demand for
air lines and close connections, viz: New
York, Boston and Portland. 1t says that
Portland fought the change Of gauge of the
railroads east OF the city with, desperation on
the ground the shift required in this city, by
different gauge TO the westward, ''forced a
limited amount of trade to distribute itself
here'" We think the Post puts it little
strong IN saying that Portland as whole op-
posed uniformity of gauge on both sides of
.he city. A few railroad partisans in the old
Maine Central-Portland & Kennebec war en-.
listed the sympathes of few Portland men
to the broad gauge by making them believe
that the 'break'' would give eastern people
an opportunity to learn what an excellent
place this city is for trade and thereby cap.
ture them for all time. They soon
outgrew this .dea as is demonstrated
by the fact that all favored the
change of the gauge of the Grand Trunk.

can get trade and business by competing fair

The Lonashoremen.
The aspect of affairs in the longshoremen's
strike is unchanged this morning. The rumor
that the French and other lines were paying

loading cargo. The number Of new men APP
plying for work is very large, and the compa-
MES can get all the hands they require.

Current Notes.

Somebody has been writing to the Tribune
from Danvil.e Junction, insisting that new
reform party has got into existence somehow
party which wants fewer laws enacted and
fewer offices created. The party should be
called Jeffersonian Republican on Jeffersoni-
an Democrat, the. correspondent don't quite
know which. + "
No one need be troubled by the occasional
failures chronicled in our columns, as they
are usual al this season of the year, and were
expected to be numerous this fall, in conse-
quence of last years panic. When business
is conducted on such sound basis as at pres.
ent, it is infamous to predict financial trouble.
There is no danger possible. The volume of
business may be small, but it is. safe. Only
the ignorant expected any increase of pros
perity in consequence of the elections, and
therefore there is every reason to feel salts
fed with the steady, though slow, advance of
trade.-N. Y. Commercial Id @
The official returns of the election in Mis-
souri, for Governor are: Hardin, Democratic,
1882; Gentry, independent, 1O9,S7s; Har-
din's majority, 36,444. The total vote is less
than 255,000. Indiana, which, according to
the United States census OF 1870, has small
er population than Missouri, polled nearly
400 900 votes. % al e
Smith of Arkansas, is really too ridiculous.
His following consists of one newspaper ed
itor, one Secretary of State and one United
States Senator; and none of these is much
to speak of. The rebellion is like the cele-
brated flea, which was more troublesome to
catch than to kill.-Chicago Tribune. A-
While Mr.. CASTOR, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of Massachusetts, has
about 1000 majority in the popular vote, Mr..
Knight, the Republican candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, has 1900 majority, and
Mr.. Endicott, the Republican candidate for
Auditor, has $4,000 majority, and the MAORI
ty of each of the other Republicans on the
state ticket exceeds 10000 1 lii
There were seven test votes On the salary
grab bill. Every time N. P. Banks, of Mas

Dan Voorhees,, of Indiana, voted for the bills

Three times Fernando Wood, of New York,

Miners Among the Black Hills.
The Secretary of the Interior to-day trans
mitted to the Secretary OF War copy of
missioner of Indian Affairs with letter from
Indian agent Fl. w. Bingham dated Cheyenne
Agency, Dakota, Oct. 81, to the effect that
alo,ae sixty white miners are at work in Sioux
reservation in the Black Hills, and unless they
are driven off by the government the Indians
will make war upon them
Secretary Delano, In view of this statement.
requests the War Department to instruct the
proper military authorities to remove any per-
sons thus found trespassiug in order that the
trouble with the Indians may be avoided.
why MulIett Went.
The rumors in regard to the resignation of
Supervising Architect Mullett were fully con-
firmed TO day. Secretary Bristow being asked
the cause of his resignation, pointed to the Re-
vsed Statutes, in which it is stated that the
Chief Clerk of the Treasury Department. shall
act as Superintendent Of the Treasury building
and no account of contingent expenses be al
lowed except on certificate of the clerk that
they are necessary, proper, just and reasona-
BILE, all expenditures for furniture being subject
to the approval of the Secretary of the Treas
ury.
I it appears that Mullett was in the habit of
controlling this contingent fund amounting to
about $4,000. Mullett's attention was called
to this law when he said he would rather re-
sign than not control this expenditure, where
upon the Secretary replied that he was only
performing his duty in accordance with the
law and that if MulIett was not willing to be
governed by the law he would accept his resig-
nation. Accordingly Mullett prepared his res
ienation, which the Secretary accepted this af-
ternoon. Bristow did not in any manner ex-
press want of confidence in Mr. Mnllett's
integrity.
