If there had been an opportunity for a valua-
BILE land grant the scheme to run express trains
from Cairo to Jerusalem would not have
persisted so quickly. However, the capital that

Railroad Company can be equally well invested
In hlr. Helpers project for railroad from New
York to Patagonia. Congress will meet three
weeks from next Monday, and there is bill
already before it on this subject. No doubt,
after the result of Tuesdays election, the Demo-
Gratis will take up the consideration of the
Patagonia railroad project with great zest.
1t was fortunate for Wisconsin that the roof
of its State Capitol did not fall in when the
Legislature was in session. In that event the
loss of life would have been much greater than
was the case yesterday. But such an accident
rs that which caused the death of the four men
yesterday must have been due to gross careless
ness OF the ignorance of some one in charge Of
the work of making repairs. Had such an ac
cdent happened at the State Capitol in Albany
there would have been no great surprise, in
view of the past history of that structure. But
in Wisconsin, it was supposed that State build
ing would at least be safe.
The action of the French Chambers on the re-
quest of the Ministry for a supplementary
grant to cover the expenses of military opera
lions in Tonquin will be watched with interest.
The sum asked for, $2,1SO,S0O, is not large,
but if there is any strong opposition to the
course of the Government the request for this
grant will afford an opportunity to develop it.
The Chinese are making extensive military
preparations; and unless the French Govern
ment recedes from the position it has assumed
on this question, it is not clear how war with
China is to be averted. 1t is rumored that China
has proposed to France that q friendly Power,
probably the United States, be asked to med
fate between the two countries. After our
treatment of the Chinese the French ought not
TO object to such proposal.
IL every Republican voter in this city does

A fair illustration of the reckless manner in
which the last Democratic Legislature inter
fered with the local affairs of this city was
shown at yesterdays meeting Of the Board of
Estimate. In 1881 there was question raised
rs to whether or not Surrogate Calvin's term OF
office expired with that year. The CorpO ration
Counsel advised the Sheriff to include in his
official election notice the Office of Surrogate.
Mr.. j. NJ. Lyddy, Tammany lawyer, was a
candidate for the nomination, and on his own
responsibility he began legal proceeding to
determine the question in regard to Mr. Calvin's
term. Now Mr. Lyddy, with a modest estimate
of his own great abilities, has put in n claim of
$4,000 against the city for his alleged ser
vices Ex-SurrOgate Calvin long ago requested
the city to pay his counsel, and how many
other persons there are who have rendered
services for which they have not yet pre-
scented claims is unknown. Apparently relying
on Tammanv influence in the Board, Mr.. Lyddy
secured the passage of an act by the last Legis-
lature authorizing the payment of his claim.
The Mayor fifty termed the whole affair ycster
day a speculation But it appears to be
matter of doubt, under the legislative act,
whether the city will not be obliged to
pay Mr.. Lyddy at least part of his prepOser-

General Butler has furnished an explanation OF
his defeat which his opponents will readily accept.
He says: Last year had 134,0 votes. Tho

been caused by the freest use of money and fraud
Everybody knew that the " enormous increase in
Buffers vote was due to " the freest use OF money
and fraud" but they hardly supposed that the old
man would confess it, even in the first burst of peni
tence following crushing defeat.
More truth was printed In the Democratic news
papers yesterday than we remember to have seen in
those sheets on any other day in our experience.
They fell to discussing the of the great series
of defeats. One laid the blame upon faction quar-
rels; another upon committee acknowledgement;
&6ther upon the bad character of candidates;
another upon the lack of principle and commons
sense which nsulted the intellect of the State"

are an ample guarantee that the work of reor-

The days for enrolment are November 13, ~
and 81. 1t is to be hoped that every Repub-
lican will take enough interest in the welfare
and control of his own party to see that MS

Absolutely nothing is needed for an ideally
free Republican organization in this city except
ing that the Republicans should take the
trouble to enroll their names. After that the
majority will rule-as it ought to.
There will soon be an opportunity to make an
interesting comparison between the Dem
ocratic administration at Albany and the Re-
publican administration at Washington on the
subject of Civil Service Reform. The new
Democratic State officers will be in office three
days before the Civil Service law governing ap-
pointments in this State takes effect. II the
newly elected officers however, approve the
purpose for which the State Civil Service Com
mission was created, they will not take advan-
tage of that three days, but will only appoint to
Office persons who have passed the Civil Ser
vice examinations. 1t will afford an excellent
opportunity of testing these chosen represent
atives of the Democratic party on this vital
question of reform In the meantime it will be
interesting for them to note the earnest manner
in which the President is carrying out this re-
form at Washington. He has just made
change in the Civil Service rules so as abso-
lutely to exclude all political tests and party
influence in making appointments from among
those who have passed Civil Service examina-
tons. This is a step further in Civil Service
Reform than has been taken before i'll England
or in this country.
