The purchase of Il controlling inter
est in the st. Louis and San Francisco
railroad by Messrs. Gould and Hunt
ington shuts up what was expected to
Ice an independent transportation route
to the Pacific coast, Il rival to the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific lines, and
gives this ring of mOnOpolists three
different roads from the Mississippi to
the Golden Gate. The st. Louis and
San Francisco company are equal part
ners with the AtchisOn, Topeka and
Santa Fe in the construction of the At
lantic and Pacific road to California.
This road will now, it is believed, make
Il junction with the Southern Pacific at
some point in Arizona, giving the latter
two arms To the East with their various
connections. We have thus the entire
mail communication across the CONT
ncnt. with the exception of the North
ern Pacific road, though that, too, has
been threatened, in the hands of two
men, Jay Gould acting as eastern part
ner and c. =. Huntington as western.
The Springfield Republican thinks this
is not il healthy sign for the republic.

People unfamiliar with railroading
and railroad terms, cannot understand
how passenger could tamper with the
air brakes, as charged by the conduc-
tor of the wrecked train on the Hudson
River road. On most roads the air
brakes can be worked by the engineer
The air which works the brakes is
stored under the locomotive 10y pump,
and it is forced through iron pipes into
auxiliary cylinders under each car, an
air pressure of ~ lbs. being kept on
each. As long as the pressure is main
tanned the brakes keep away from the
wheels, but they take tight hold on
them us soon as the engineer with
draws the pressure. He knows at once
that the brakes are at work by the
quick sinking of his pressure gauge.
TO provide against IA contingency, such
as an accident to IA ear which the en-
gineer could not observe, the closet
of every car is provided with a valve,
and cord runs to it along the side of
the ear. Anybody can thus open the
valve and stop the train. 1t is this
cord which passenger is believed to
have pulled ON the wrecked train
This is corroborated 10y the engineer
of one of the locomotives drawing tn,
fated train. who testified that the pres
sure on his air pump fell at once from
20 to 10 lbs. Thus through the drunk
EN- deviltry of some passenger wa'
this appliance of safety turned into al
engine of destruction.

Now that Justice Hunts retirement
is settled fact, speculation as to his
successor is rife. The SOutherners
think they ought to have another
Judge, though they now have two of
the nine who comprise the supreme
bench. There are plenty of candi-
dates, of course, but the appOintee
must he man of sound judicial sense.
1t will be remembered that some two
years ago, when Justice Hunts retire
Senator Edmunds was prominent in
connection with the prospective va
cancy, but it was felt that the Republi-
can party could not afford to lose Mr.
Edmunds from the Senate. Very natu-
rally the Senator's name is talked OF
now but the feeling of the party is ex-
when it says: Senator Edmund:
would be an unfortunate selectiOn-nO
that he would not make an excellent
Judge, but that he is needed more il
the Senate. He fultills IA function il
that body which is of the highest i'm
portance, which nobody else pretend
to undertake, and which no other Sen
ator could so well perform, even if HI
should try. Mr.. Edmunds is the re
morseless critic and ohjector. He il
the one man who vigilantly scrutinize
every bill and fearlessly exposes anc
resists every doubtful proposition. NJ
other Senator is either SO capable or 81
well situated for this service"
