w. II. VanderbiIt's Private Stables.
New York Tribun


The arrangements for William II.
Vanderbilts new household establish
ment are on the largest scale. A de-
scription has already been given Of the
two houses he is now building, one for
himself and one in two parts for his
two married daughters, in Fifth ave-
nue., embracing the whole frontage be-
tween Fiftieth and Fifty-frst streets.
For these the foundations are we'll ad
vanced. His new stables are on a scale
to correspond, and staid and highly re-
spectacle Madison avenue has been
considered good enough for them.
They occupy a space of 10G feet in this
avenue with frontage of 70 feet on
Fifty-second street, and are, consequent
ly, only two blocks removed from his
new residence. They are nearly in
closed and present a fine appearance.
A new resident has remarked
that the architectural objects of
interest in that neighborhood are the
Cathedral, the new buildings Of Colum-
bia College and W. II. Vanderbilts
stables.
The architectural plan has in general
q resemblance to the Grand Central
depot as seen from Forty. second street.
The material is red brick, aud the
trimmings brown stone, the arches be-
ing Roman, and the roof leaning to-
ward French style. There are low
towers at the corners AID center eleva-
tons. The main entrance on Fifty
second street is of large proportions.
Special and costly decorations, in keep
ing with the purpose of the building,
will be put on the interior of the car
riage room. His congregation of trot-
tiers and coach horses will have apart
ments on the Madison avenue side, and
the coachmen and hostlers will have
suites of apartm euts up stairs.

THE managers of the Atchison, To
peka and Santa Fe are confident that
their extension to Guaymas, Mexico, on
the Gulf of California, will control the
Australian trade. The distance from
New York to Australia, by the way of

miles, while by way of San Francisco
it is 400. The distance to several of
the leading ports of China will also be
lessened by the new route.

The New York Sun of Monday, contain
ed the following remarkable editorial. The
admissions of Democratic defeat have given
some of the party leaders great concern, it is
stated. The Sun is correct. Unless the Re-

ference or want Of wisdom, they will certain

In politics, as in war, the true policy is to
Justly estimate the contending forces and to
see things as they actually exist. The elect
ions which have just taken place in several
States show conclusively such an augmenta-
ton of Republican strength as TO render alto
gether probable that the Republicans will be
able to elect their candidate for President
next year. f
The greatest questton--the one great ques-
tion--,soso before tie country becomes eoho that
candidate shall be.
1t is not, by any means, q mere considera-
ton of personal preferences or personal antip-
athes. One new and threatening element is
brought into the choice. sI.
Mr. Conkling, we suppose, is out of the
suffering severely from chill, and the people
experience a chronic chill toward him.
Either Mr.. Sherman or Mr.. Blaine could
probably be elected

Electing President q third time, would be
an innovation on the customs of the country,
established by the Revolutionary fatliefs--an
innovation of the most alarming character,

Grant has already enjoyed all the civil hon
ors and more than the military honors confer
red upon George Washington, the Father of
his Country. But Washington was modest
and retiring. while Grant is pushing, ambi-
tions, selfish, grasping.
Should Grant be nominated, the patriotic
feeling against third term might yet enable
the Democracy, il guiled by wise and concil-

themselves the best elements of the Republic
