transaction of business. either directly or In
directly. The public interest requires that
these should have chest and cheapest ser
vice practicable
OF itself, and IN the absence of any public
necessity, railroad is a nuisance. This is
especially true when it passes through large
city or through q thfckiye settled country, as
between this city aud New York
It disfgures, and, for many purposes. de-
stroys a large amount OF property. Houses
along its line are less pleasant and agreeable
for residences. The people living in the
western section of New Haven, who are op-
posing the Hartford and Harlem, are fighting
in sheer self-defence. Highways are inter
sected, and of necessity many crossings must
be at grade, thereby rendering travel upon
ordinary roads extremely dangerous Most
of the large towns in the western section of
the State are near the north shore of the
sound, and numerous roads lead from them
northerly into the country. All these would
be intersected by new railroad. The con-
struction of either of the proposed lines
between here and New York would cause an
immense loss to individuals forwhfch no COM
pensation whatever could be obtained.
But railroads are oftentimes public con-
yenience and necessity and in such cases the
private interest must give way to the larger
benefit. Is this one of those cases? I am
convinced that ii is not and believe that no
Just public demand would be met if either or
both the proposed roads were constructed
and in operation. L go further and say that
in my opinion the public would not in such
case get as cheap and efficient service as it
would get if the business was left to the ex
isting road, provided the corporation operat-
ing it responded fully to its duties to the pub
lie. If it does not show a disposition to do
this there is mode whereby it can be COM
PEELED.

The people of Ohio are preparing for a
very exciting political contest. Upon its re-
suit hinge the election of governor and
legislature which will choose a successor to
Senator Pendleton. The fight will also be
looked upon as having something to do with
the great contest of 1884. Under these cir
cumstances, therefore, it is pleasant to see
that Governor Foster is confident that the
Republican ticket will win. He says con-
cerning the liquor question: I am not afraid
of it. 1t is an issue we are obliged to meet
and we would be towards deserving defeat if
we did not meet it. There are two constitu-
tional amendments to be passed upon One
is for absolute prohibition and the other ia
vors what is known as legislative control, in
reality giving the general assembly the power
to deal with the liquor question as they see
fit, regulating it by license, taxation, loca-
option, &c. Now this matter is generally
Inexperienced throughout the country
The idea has been circulated that a voter
can only vote for one of these amendments
whereas he can either vote for both or
one of them or against both of them. This
will bring ont an enormous vote. There
will be at least 100, 900 votes cast for the
prohibitory amendment, and while there
win very probably be a full Prohibition
ticket in the field, it will be supported by the
political Prohibitionists, who are not very
numerous. The Republicans will favor the
taxation of the liquor traffic and the submis-
sion of these questions to the people. 1t
seems to me that We now have the best of
the position and that the embarrassing end of
the temperance poker is pointed at the DEM
ocrats Nine tenths of the voters are in
favor of taxing the traffic because it will
bring the State about So, ,ooo, 200 additional
revenue and close 80 per cent. of the
saloons.

Richard Irwin had toiled slowly and weari
ly up the two flights of stairs which led to
the poor abode and looked long and lovingly
into the pale but beautiful face of the girl
who had given up parents, home and every
thing that had made life happy to become his
wife. And as she stood there, her soft white
arms twined lovingly around his neck, and
her deep hazel eyes appraised to his, he saw
that she had been weeping, and around the
wan, dropping lips that in the happy bygone
days were soNoften raised, pouting merrily
the while, to be kissed by his own, there were
traces of pie. Richard Irwin shuddered as he
drew the 1.-THE, yielding form still more close

of pain to think that his wife, Olytie Stiggins,
Boston born and bred-a girl who habitually
read Emerson, and whose essay on the theory

the piIocene period-should be reduced to

Clytie raised her head from his bosom. One
glance told her all.

"Can you not tell me, your wife, of you1

''It is nothing" Richard replied, kissing
her tenderly.

just then a noise of some one dragging

heard. Presently it ceased, and messen

DEMOCRATIC HAAMONY.
The Democrats expect to be victorious in
1884, and in order to be so they know that
they must first be harmonious. Their strug-
giles in the direction of the coveted harmony
are interesting and amusing. It is evident
that they do not yet know whether they

tai protection
Mr.. Eaton's letter does not of course suit
the free trade wing of the party. He
s:would assume that the action of the last
Congress upon the tariff was fnality of
the question SO far as general revision is
concerned" He would not undertake re-
Republican Senate and President, any such
action would assuredly fail, and bring upon
as the charge that we were disturbing the
great industrial interests of the country
The New York Sun takes very much the
same view of the matter that Mr.. Eaton
does. 1t thinks that ttthe only wise course

are demonstrated by its operation
Mr.. William r. Morrison, of Illinois, who,
though not an avowed candidate for Speaker
of the House, is occasionally mentioned as ga
dark horse" has made his contribution to
Democratic harmony. He says: There is
such division of opinion among Democrats
as requires federation on the tariff question,
but those unwilling to repeal war rates,
which were added to protective tariff, are
not entitled to leniency. Those who advo-
cate incidental protection, some protection
or any qualified protection probably mean no
more than is meant by tariff only for reve-
nue., for tariff laid for revenue only will af-
ford some advantage to our own manufac
turers. The division is perhaps more of pol
icy than of creed. There are Democrats
who are professedly revenue tariff men, but
who insist, as a matter of policy, that We
shall not say so. The only purpose of silence
would be to hide our real purposes, and
there is great danger that the people would
believe we were thus practising deceit to OBJ
tain power, and that any party that would
mislead them to get into power would disap
point them afterward.
It is quite probable that whether the Dem
ocratic party does as Mr.. Eaton, Mr.. Nor
rison, Mr.. Butler, Henry Watterson, David
A. Wells or Editor Pulitzer wants to have il
the people will continue to believe that it is
practising deceit to obtain power. One thing
seems to be certain, and that is that there is
no policy on the tariff question which is go
ing to satisfy all the wings of the party. Per.
haps the best thing the party can do will be
to follow the Norwich Bulletins suggestion
and call the tariff question "a mere local
issue" again.

..ParaIler' Railroad Schemes.

s.ParaIIsI' Railroad Schemes.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
For several years various and shifting
combinations of individuals have toyed with
schemes for the construction of an additional
line of railroad between this city and New
York. Session after session there was a strug-
gle bsfore the Legislature for special char
ter, with no result except to Fill the pockets
of those who were engaged in the business of
assisting legislation. The, final outcome was
the passage of the general railroad law, So
called, in 1871. Under the provisions of
this act any number of persons, not less than
twenty-five, may form company for the
purpose of constructing, maintaining and op-
Grating railroad for public uss in the con-
veyance of persons and property. AS re-
suit of the contest in the Legislature last
year for special charter for parallel rail-
road scheme an act was passed, approved
April 25, 1882. giving further privileges to
companies organized under the general law.
Two different combinations are now COM
peting for the honor of a name and place
under the provisions of this law They are
commonly known as the Hartford and Har-
lena and the Olmstead Parallel. The first
has shown the most vigor, and, while trying
to reduce its competitor to order by legal
proceedings, made circuitous bnt ineffect-
i've demand for legislative recognition. The
Olmstead Parallel is now retaliating by en-
deavoring to convince the railroad commits
sioners that the Hartford and Harlem did not
have an orderly and proper genesis.
This is interesting and amusing, and posi-
bly, profitable to some; but after all the real
question is, so far as the great bulk of indi
viduals is concerned, viii the construction of
either or both of these proposed roads be q
public benefit?
What the public really needs is safe, cheap,
prompt, rapid and efficient service. The sup
posed interest of few, whether hailing from
New York, Boston or Bridgeport, who hope to
make money by investing in new railroad
enterprises IN this State, may be put aside al
together. In these days but few Of those who
engage in new railroad undertakings make
profit, and these few usually do it by meth
DDS that the law should neither encourage or
promote We have, then, as the persons
really interested, the great mass of individu-
ais who have occasion to use railroads in the

rarest works of God Still, occasionally such
a man is heard of. One has just appeared in
Troy, New York. His name is E. 8. Crossett,
and he failed in 1856, owing many Thousand
dollars in Troy. He compromised with the
creditors, agreeing to pay twenty five per
cent. within two years. He failed to make
the payments, owing to reyerses in business,
and he and his debts have long been forgot

and entered business at Davenport. There
he prospered, and is now man Of means.
He is now in Troy paying his old debts. He
could save good deal of money by letting
those debts go unpaid, but he don't seem to
look at the matter in that way.
The English find 1t hard work to make up
their minds about the proposed tunnel under
the channel. The Law journal, referring to
the appointment of the committee of both
houses of Parliament in connection with this
matter, says sight must not be lost of the
fact that such Parliamentary sanction is not
necessarily required at all. If the tunnel
should be worked from the French side alone,
the soil of the tunnel as it progressed would
be French, and the question would
not be whether the tunnel should
have parliamentary sanction, but
whether it should have parliamentary pro-
hibition. by coniseating the property of the
company in English soil when the foreshore
was reached. IF Parliament refuses sanction
to the tunnel, it is far from following that
the tunnel win not be made; and the real
question before the committee viii be
whether ParIiamen. should refuse sanction
now that it is asked for, at the risk of the
tunnel being made in the future without any
sanction being asked.

have undisputed sway in Ohio. William
Wall sued out an injunction against the West
ern Union, restraining it from erecting
poles in front of his residence. The city
council had granted the company permission
to erect its poles along the street. The
court held that this amounted only to ceding
the right of way as far as the city owned it.
but that it did not convey to the company
the rights of property owners in the streets
appurtenant to their lots. Those the COM
