This will be the Boss Railroad.

San Francisco has tremendous
railroad scheme on the brain. 1t is
proposed to build a railroad from
that city through Southern Cali
fornia, Mexico, the Central Ameri-
can States and South America, 20
Valparaiso or Conception, and so
on through Brazil to Buenos Ayres,

DESTRUCTIVE GALE.-Thirty ves-
sells, many with their entire crews,
were lost in the gale on the English
coast on the night of the 10th. The
area of the storm was exceptionally
extensive. 1t embraced the greater
part of the British Islands and the
whole of northern and central France.
The violence of the storm was ex-
traordinary. The force of the gale
has only been equaled during recent
years by that of the one few weeks
ago.

THE ANIMUs EVIDENT BUT THE PRACTI
CABILITY DOUBTFUL.

The Radicals are ,jubilupt and the
Democrats are Respondent. Both seem
to have concluded that the animus
shown by the Commission in the de-
cision all eady made settles the Presi-
denGy. The exclusion of evidence save
that delivered by tie President of the
Senate by a strict party vote has, we
confess, rather an ominous look. But
even if this were conceded to have
been dictated by party feeling, it is not
decisive of the,election. There yet re.
mains to be decided a number of Ques-
tons, even within the restricted rule of
the Commission, any one of which, de-
cided against them, would be fatal to
the Radicals. There are, for example,
three ineligible Radical electors, be-
sides the Florida man, to 60 before the
Commission. 1t also remains to be
seen how the Commission will steer
between Scilla and Charybdis, or upon
what principle, having refused to re-
verse the decisions of the local officers
on the return before them in the Flor
ida case, they will set aside the return
of the local officers in Oregon in favor
of CrOnin. 1t is true of one case AS of
the other that the certificate does not
conform to the figures before the Re-
turning Board, and the question pre-
sented whether the judgment of the
returning officers as to the proper re-
turn, both varying from the figures,
but for different reasons is final, is the
same in both cases. Then there are
questions rs to the validity of the cleo
tons IN Louisiana and South Carolina;
and in the former whether the Return
ing Board had any jurisdiction over the
electoral vote. These and other ques-
tons remain to be decided, and it can
not yet be assumed that the judges will
co operate with Mr.. Garfield and Hoar
in deciding them all for Hayes. ct Is
reported that Messrs. Garfield and
Hear have not only settled that, but
decided at Welcker's day or two ago
that Mr.. McCrary should go into the
Cabinet.)
1t was one of our objections to the
Commission that it might ignore the
great questions which interested the
public mind in connection with this
election, and legalize acknowledged
fraud upon some narrow technicality.
But whilst party affiliations may I'm.
consciously influence upright judges to
rescne their party by tidipg them over
one or two bad places in that way, they
could hardly deceive themselves or
others as to the Influences under which
they acted, if, instead of straining one
or two points only, they were obliged
to strain dozen or more, and all in
one directionj and this is what this
case rsquires.-[ Washington Union.

1t is a disappointment; disappoint-

In our opinion there is no cause for
rejoicing by the Republicans, and just
as little occasion for gloomy forebod-
inss on the part of their opponents in
the decision arrived at by the Com
mission. 1t is clear as day that the
decision made by the Commission
must, if honesty followed to its logical
conclusion, lead to the election of Mr.
Iilden by the House of Representa-
tives.- Harrisburg Patriot, Dem.
The first point has been won by the
Republicans. Possibly it practically
decides the election of Mr.. Hayes.
However that may be, the vote is I'M
satisfactory. A party vote is not what
we expected from this commission.
