A POINT ron Mn. BLAINE. I'm the pres
ent inspect of the canvass we do not regard
Mr. Blaine's prospects for the republican
nomination as promising. Nevertheless we
do not see how the republican journals that
oppose the ex-Speaker can with consistency
urge the developments made before the Con-
gressional Committee as bar to his nomi-
nation while at the same time insisting that
the Washington investigations are all
political trick invented by the democrats for
the purpose of shutting the republican ad-
ministration and the republican party. OF
course this is matter for the republican
politicians to settle among themselves, only
we make the suggestion for their considera-
ton.

Fourteen days from to-day the Convention
which is to name ono of the gentlemen who
will, in all human probability, be President
of the United States, will assemble at Gin
cinnati. But fourteen days remain for the
politicians to make their combinations. A
buster fourteen days will not be known for q
hundred years. As we have said, this can
vass will not only determine the govern
ment Of the country for the next four years,
but tho political tendencies of the coun-
try for the next generation. 1t is canvass
for power and for the reorganization of par
ties. New men are to come into authority,
not only in the republican but in the demo-
cratic party. Whatever is done at Cincin-
natl and ut st. Louis there will not be n
continuance of the Grant Empire and no
restoration of the Bourbons. The demo-
Gratis and republicans plan to win. The
democrats have won the South, and their
game Is now to carry the country. The
republicans can hardly hope to keep all Of
the North, and their problem is to save
enough of the Northern and Western States
to carry the election.
As it now looks on this, the fourteenth
day preceding the day of strife and
triumph, the Conkling hosts lead the adj
vance. As our Albany correspondent, in o

"Put not your trust in favorites," would
be racing apothegm as full of bitter sugges-
tions the day after the run as Straford's
saying was with his head upon the block
Princes do, however, reward the super
serviceable, and favorites sometimes win, so
that the courtier's faith has its occasional set
off against the cynic's incredulity Then the
courtier calls the cynic disappointed slave,
just as successful authors, from Racine to
Disraeli, say that critics are authors who
have failed themselves. The victory Of
Kisber, better known as the Mineral colt,
on EPSON Downs yesterday in a field of only
fifteen horses stands midway on the favorite
question. He was third favorite, and among
large number Of entries it is something for
the newspaper prophets to have even named
him; for it has happened year after year
that some obscure horse at long odds in
the betting has led the flashing mass of
silk clad riders and satin coated steeds
that came finely laundering down from
Tattenham corner past the grand stand
to the winning post. The winning of the
Derby favorite is, as q rule, bad Tor the pro-
fcssional betting men. They are generally
long-hcaded men who make their "book" SO
as to give odds on every horse entered to oil
takers, and they calculate the chances of
profit more on the relations of the entire
field to each other than specially on the
merits of any single horse. The gentlemen
sports and the public generally fix, on the
contrary, their fancies on particular animals,
and naturally seek those that are highest on
the lists. The professionals therefore,
stand to lose most if the favorite wins, for
shook" SO perfectly calculated as to guard
against loss, no matter what horse wins, is
regarded as an impossibility. The failure
Of Petrarch, the first favorite, to win, there
fore, throws heavy loss on the amateur bet
ting men, from Lord Dupplin down. while
the victory of the Mineral colt reduces the
profits of the professionals considerably.
1t is now ten years since the winner Of the
Two Thousand Guineas won the Derby and
the st. Leger, the three great three year-old
events. That was the Lord Lyon year, and
twas as fatal to the betting mon as the Hun
dred Days to the French. The year before
the French horse Gladiateur had swept the
three events in magnificent fashion, and the
public faith in the prophets and tipsters was
just wrought up to that point that in 1867,
the bookmakers were able to recoup in sea-
son their losses of the two previous years
The moral Of it all is that there is no ''sure
thing" on the turf. Lord Dupplin, the owner
of Petrarch, bought him at a fancy price
early in the season, because he was thought

The POISONING OF THE CHILD Edna Elm
stein, through the mistake of druggists
boy, who gave laudanum in a prescription
where simple syrup was called for, belongs
to class of regularly recurring blunders
which, for public protection, should DO pun
ished as crimes. The utter ignorance thus
shown by the boy Faber throws remark
able light on the carelessness of people in a
business which demands knowledge and ex-
actness Medicine is generally given at
time when the system will least withstand
the effects of powerful drugs wrongly adj
ministered. The difference in color, con-
sistency and smell between the tincture of
opium and solution of white sugar in
water would strike most people sufficiently
to prevent possibility of error, and that
such an ignoramus should be left in posi-
ton to play with human life is severe COM
mentary upon the law and its enforcement.
Wethink the elder Faber equally at fault
with the son.

The CRY TRANsrr FIGHT progresses in the
courts, and "a cloud of witnesses has ap-
penred in the interest of rapid transit as OPP
posed to the pretensions of the street railroad
companies who claim that the dummy en-
yines of the Elevated Railroad impede traf-

opinion that the directors and stockhold-
ers of the several city railroads feel much
more indisposed and alarmed at the pros
poets of speedy realization of our great
want-rapid transit-than the overworked
horses When street car is loaded with one
hundred passengers, instead of twenty-five,
the horses are made sensible that any other

TEE DEMOCRATS OF WESTERN New Yonx
are somewhat divided in their opinions Of
Mr. Tilden rs Presidential candidate.
The interesting interviews with prominent
members Of the party in Buffalo which
We publish elsewhere bring this contrariety
of opinions within very clear lines. 1t
would seem that the Governor holds tho
party machine pretty tightly on his record,
his present power and his prospects, and that
tho opposition to him is quite unorganizcd,
although very bitter where it is felt The

Conference are worthy of note, both by Til

Il ingenious, but even If this summary Of

something to be considered outside Of its

during the next twenty-four hours, with
decided increase Of temperature and strong
easterly winds. Local thunder storms will
probably precedc the decided change, which
is approaching over the Mississippi Valley

States the weather indications promise vio-
lent winds, which will be felt more or less
on the lakes. An area Of great barometric
depression manifested itself yesterday morn

IMPEACHMENT AS PUNIsHMEST.-We are
afraid that the experience Of the impeach-
ment trial in Washington will be like that of
Warren Hastings-an argument in favor of
the abolition of impeachment. With lawyers
as shrewd as Carpenter, Blair and Black;
with Senate containing fifty Senators at
least willing to talk for week on any given
theme, it will take year to try Bel
KNAPP. Might there not be some other tribu-
nal for this class of offences? The English
found it expcdient to remove election petit
tons from the House of Commons on the
ground that the necessities of legislation and
the asperities of politics made it almost i'm
possible for safe judgment to be formed.
Might we not do the same with cases de-
manding impeachment?

TILE MYSTERIOUS MOVEMENTS of the law
yers who have for the past week bit their
quilts in wiseacre silence when questioned
about the intentions of the so-called relG
tives of the late A. 7. Stewart, ended
in an open and bold attack on the mill
ionnaire's will in the Surrogate Court
yesterday. The petition of the con-
testants recites that undue influence was
brought to bear on Mr.. Stewart, which re-
suited in the exclusion of these weeping
blood relations from any pecuniary benefit
in the old gentleman's death. 1t also
recites that certain formalities were over
looked in the reading Of the WILL such as not
summoning the heirs or the Attorney Gem
eral or his representative. The Surrogate
has issued an order to Mrs. Stewart and judge
Hilton to show cause on the 18th inst. why
the will should not be set aside. We cannot
wonder that the great estate has been
marked out by the lawyers as fair game, par
ticularly when each of the contestants is
Turney.

Rapid Transit NJ . step In Civiliza-
ton.

Rapid Transit NJ . step In Civiliza-
This edition Of the HERALD will be car
riod as tar as San Francisco in special
train that left New York at midnight. This
train will be under the patronage of Messrs.
Jarrett and Palmer the we'll known theatre
cal managers, who take Mr.. Barrett, the
tragedian, and several actors of their troupe
to play in the tragedy of Henry "" in
San Francisco on Monday evening. If the
schedule time is preserved the train will
arrive at Pittsburg, Pa, this morning at ten,
at Chicago this evening at eight, crossing
the Mississippi during the night, reaching
Omaha at ten tomorrow, Salt Lake about
noon on Saturday and San Francisco ct noon
on Sunday, allowing the actors time to re-
hearse their parts and be on the stage armed
for the dreadful fray Of Agincourt on Mon
day evening.
1t seems almost incredible that train
should cross the American continent in
eighty-four hours. Yet the feat is possible,
allowing this train q much slower rate of
speed than is permitted to the fast trains on
English and Continental railroads. The
mail trains from London to Dover and from
Dublin to Queenstown go at rate much
faster than our adventurous voyagers will
attain on their trip. So that even
if there should be some delays, on
account of grades or other obstacles not
anticipated, the trip could be made. All
railroad travel now looks to swift time. In
ten years we shall 60 from New York to
Philadelphia in as little time as was neces-
sary short time ago to 60 from New York
to Peekskill. The time is coming whom it
will be as much q custom to have the HERALD
in Chicago on the evening of publication as
in Washington and Albany.
The enterprise of Messrs. Jarrett and Palmer
is another evidence of the fact that private
energy and skill are the real pioneers in oil
works of progress. 1t was the HERALD
which taught the government what could be
done in the way of fast trains as far as the
Mississippi River The same principle is
carried as far as the Pacific Coast.
We wonder how long it will take citizen
of New York to go to San Francisco in the
second centennial year of our national life
This is question which the imagination
dare not trust itself to answer.

most intelligent and interesting letter printed
IN Tuesdays HERALD, showed conclusively,
MIR. Conklings strength is gaining m his
own State. He will go to Cincinnati with
unanimity of support such as no New York
statesman hns carried into n conven-
ton since tho days of Seward. Unlike
Seward he will not have an antagonism
like that headed by Mr.. Greeley,
but faint opposition from some followers
Of MI. Curtis an opposition that even now
loses heart and consistency and will probably
melt before the Convention is called to order.
The common sense of the republican party
sees that in Mr.. Conkling and in him alone
the courage of that party will find ex-
preston. AS candidate the more the
country sees of Mr.. Conkling the more it
likes him. 1t likes his zeal, his frankness,
his pride, his stainless name 1t is a
most significant fact that although the
fierce light Of hundred torches
OF investigation has been beating upon
him not a stain has been seen. The more
his character is studied the brighter it
appears. The serious question is, Can he
keep his pace? Will there be any break in
favor of a Great Unknown? Can Mr. Blaine
keep his legions to do his bidding after they
have furled his flag, as furl it they must, in
the presence of these undying scandals
We do not consider Mr.. Blaine seriously in
the field. No prudent party will dare to
nominate candidate whose canvass will be
IN apology.
The canvass now lies between Conkling
and the Great Unknown. The Great I'm
known's colors, 80 far as we can distinguish
them, are Galena lead, and look marvel
lousy like those of Washburne, of Illinois.
