The possibilities of fast rrilroad
travel were recently tested the rail-
road between Philadelphia and New
York. A special train of three drawing
room cars, with Vice President Cassatt,
General Manager Thompson, and
several superintendent Of Western
railways as passengers, was run, the
object Of the expedition being TO obtain
easiest speed possible between Phila~
delphia and New York. The train left
Philadelphia precisely at 1894, aud
reached Jersey City at 1924, accom-
plishing 96 miles 10 one hour and fifty
minutes. The quickest time made was
from Philadelphia to Trenton. 43 miles,
in 80 minutes. The average speed Of
the train was mile il one minute and
seven sec nds.

.N.IRtNCE CO., OF HARTFORD
CONNECTICUT.

This old and reliable company has
orened an office in this city.
This Company appears to be removed
beyond the contingency of real disas-
ter. 1t may suffer lossess, it may en-
counter misfortune against which no
hun an foresight could provide; sus-
picions may be engendered by rival
companies, but she goes calmly on in q
lire of duty laid down by itself, and
will never abandon it if it takes the
last dollar.
Its losses by he Chicago fire were
about $4,000 coo, every dollar Of which
was paid before maturity. Hard upon
this, was the great Boston fire, bring
ing loss ofSl, 100000; no man had to
wait an hour for his money. Every
one who wants insurance is concerned
to know where to look for that whic h is
sAFE-which after all is the cheapest
insurance, We feel perfectly safe in
saying that for insurance that is safe,
there is no company ahead of the Act
a, of Hartford.

r he Republican Party Undergoing
a Process of Self

The Republican party has reach
ed out for Its lea iers, taken them
by the col ar. ana Kicked them
deWn stairs. Look at Massachu-
sets. 1t has been assumed by the
Administration that the people of
that State would endure anything.
Cons equently the power and pa
tronage Of the Federal Govern
ment have been handed over to
Benjamin +. Butler, whose name
has for years been a synonym for
i'll fame in politics. Civil Service
Reform has been strangled. The
influence of money has become
great and important factor in poll
tics. Party terrorism has been
employed to crush honest differ
ences of opinion. Rascals have
been commissioned to collect the
public revenue on shares. Time
would fail us to enumerate the
pirticular grievances posed upon
the party in that State, for in Mas
sachusetts the Republican party is
the pC ME, the Democracy consti-
tuting merely scattering vote.
The time having come to say what
The people really think, they have
elected a Democratic Governor and
a majority of democratic Congress
men i'm a State which had given as
high as 10000 majority for the Re-
publican ticket. Sam Bowles'
time has come! He has long
been telling us that ''The
earth was feverish and did shake"
down East. He was right in point
of fact, though little out of his
reckoning as TO time.
What will be the out come of
this tremendous victory Of the OPP
p0sion ? 1t is too early to make
safe predictions. Two years ago
the Republicans achieved SINH
lar victory, and 1t turned their
heads. They fancied that nothing
could disturb them in the posses
sion and use of the power they en-.
joyed. They carried things with
a high hand. They passed the
Salary Grab. They subjugated
Louisiana by military violence.
They defied public sentiment in
every possible way. The Presi-
dent iancied that he lad elected
the party, instead of the party
electing him, ard, acting on this
theory, he allowed a third-term
scheme 10 be cooked by his kitch-
encabinei. Everybody in public
place had the "big-head." All
The worsi elements of the party
came to the front Conscientious
and thoughtful men were elbowed
TO the rear or showed upon the
vement. And the result is what
we see /! Now the question il
whether the tactics of the two par
ties will be reversed, as their stu
alton is reversed. Will the Repli-
can party lash its dogs back into
The kennel, and put its men in
command once more? Will the
woret elements Of the Democracy
now come TO the front and take the
lead ? Will its Fernando Woods,
sam Randa.is, Tom FIorences,
Voorheeses,.. and Eidridges, not
TO mention the unsatisfied rebel
element of the South, lead it in
next Presidential campaign ? If SO
it has achieved a barren victory.
The Republicans are still a major
ity Of the country, as they are of
Massachusetts, and they can only
be dislodged from the Exc
cutive branch of the Cover nment
by extreme folly on their own part
combined with extreme prudence
on the part Of their adversaries.-
