terested auditory. His idea is to
have the passengers stand in line OH

TO the approaching train, and near
enough to where it viii pass TO bring
them within range of the scoop. On
the approach Of the rack, the horizon
tai bar strikes the cxpectant passenger
in the hollow back of the knees. which
causes him to lop backward, when he
is caught in the scoop and whiricd
into The car and the next rack back
takes the next forward passenger, and
so on until all are taken up.

THE Chicago Journal Of the 3Oth of

THE meeting of merchants last
night resolved to close their stores
next Tuesday. and devote the day to
the election. The banks to-day agreed
10 close their places Of business al
noon on the same day for a like rca-
son. The Board of Trade Yesterday
voted to have no session, but to de-
vote The entire day to tho election.
The business community is evidently
aroused 10 a sense of their duty"
That Is just ms it should be. If it
shall prove true ina, the business mon
of Chicago do take hold Of election
matters to-day, as the aboyc indi-
Gates that they will. we shall feel that
right will prevail. When the indus
iri"ns. the intelligent. and the good
men of the country make il business
to attend elections, not merely 10
vote. hut I" work all or nearly all
day. and see that the polls are prop
orly guarded, and fraud prevented,
we shall make good advance in in
snring the election of proper officers
aud in securing the triumph of right
principles. We know of nothing
which should be hailed as IL better
omen for good, than the arousing of
the better class Of 4ll our citizens to
quit business, and attend exclusively
to election on election day.
