During the long winter evenings, says
the New York Mail and Express, that are
near at hand, the reflective northern read
ers of newspapers will have plenty of time
for considering the peculiarities Of a set
tied situation in national politics that only
requires the democrats to get iorty-eight
electoral votes, while the republicans have
to work for two hundred and one electoral
votes. the "solid South" with its hundred
aud iiftv-three votes, requiring no atten-
ton. although in tour States that make
up that formidable aud anomalous political
power there have been. since the negroes
were given the nominal power of voting,
steady and undoubted aud large msiorilieS
of republican voters. These facts will be
carefully studied the coming winter.
They may produce no political excitement
but they will stimulate to political action
tens of thousands of intelligent northern
men who have acted, of late years, on the
cry that all that was necessary to secure
good government, was for the better class
OF republicans to vote the democratic tick
ct once in while.

Mixed in Their Intention.

PROFESSIONALLY the New York Central people
believed when they shut off the Hoosac Tunnel
line over the roads comprising their system that
they had trampled out strong competitor of the
Boston & Albany for New England business.
That they have not, and that the line promises
to be sharper competitor than heretofore,
plainly shows the hold fast-freight lines have got
upon the railroads. The management of the
Hoosac Tunnel line experience no trouble in
finding roads, it is stated, so friendly that they
get a better route to Chicago, and as good a
route to Indianapolis Cincinnati, Louisville and
St Louis. While there may be too many fast
freight lines they can be reduced more success
fully by consolidation than it can be done by IN
demanded attempts to crowd them out.

Miscellaneous Notes.

An experiment with passenger locomotive of
unusual size is being made on the Lake Shore
1t has two hundred fiues, and carries I45 pounds
of steam.
The rumor that the contract of the Pullman
company with the Union Pacific is about to ex-
pire is without foundation, as it runs for fifteen
years from May l.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company is

1t is stated that the terminal facilities of the
Boston g. Albany road in Boston could not be
duplicated for $40, 00O 900, and $4,000, 900 is the
estimated value of their property in the city of
Worcester, Mass.
The last issue of stock by the Pullman Palace
car Company is a balance of 20 per cent, which

TaInage's Railroad Record.

The appointment of A. A. Talmage general
manager of transportation of the three jay
Gould systems, namely the Missouri Pacific the
St Louis & Iron Mountain and Texas roads and
the Wabash system, brings him so prominently
before the public that his railroad record be-
comes one of interest His first appear
ance in the West was as brakeman
on the st. Louis, Alton G. Terre Haute
road, which was in 1859. In 1861 he had reached
the position of passenger conductor on the Indi-
annapolis & st. Louis road. About 1868 he was
appointed, by the government, superintendent of
a Southern road, where he remained until the
chose of the war and when the government
turned the roads they had siezed back
to the railroad companies, Mr. Talmage
was appointed general superintendent Of the
East Tennessee & Georgia road. This position
he held until such a cry was raised against
Northern carpet -baggers that he was removed
He returned m 1867 to the indianapolis & St
Louis road and accepted the position OF assistant
superintendent and on the retiring of Mr.
Herkimer he was made general superintend-
ent. where he remained until he was appointed
general superintendent of the St Louis
& San Francisco. This position he held until
Garrison was elected President of the road, and

The Battle of the NiIIionaires.

The struggle between the Vanderbilt and Cable
factions for the control of the Rock Island gives
rise to all sorts of strategic movements and re
ports The latest one of the latter is to the
effect that organization has been formed to
build foad from Rock Island to Peoria AS
the present Rock Island & Peoria road is owned
almost entirely by the Cable family, it is pre-
ruined that the proposal to build another road is
intended as an attack upon the Cable interests.
The present road is not an extremely profitable
piece of property, and a parallel line would be
superhuous except for the damage it might do.

Obiects of fhe CIearine:House.

The arranging Of the details for the establish
ment of the proposed clearing house is said to
be moving along quite salts factorily. The OBJ
iect of establis hing the clearing house is, first
that through it settlement of traffic between con-
Meeting roads may be carried on. A prominent
railroad official says that another object in its
establishment is to reduce the number Of fast
freight lines running over the pool roads, to
whose agents much of the decentralization of
rates is ascribed. Then it is believed that it
will greatly strengthen existing pools and those
which are to be organized The matter of the
interior pools has been complicated one. At
many of the important Western places there
have been one more roads which refused to
join the pool and as a consequence in meeting
the competitor of these lines the connections of
the trunk lines have become involved in quarrels
among themselves. The cutting of rates from
these places has also caused cutting from other
points where business was affected by the cut
ting of rates from points west of them, and it is
believed that these proposed reforms will prove
a preventive of rate wars and place shippers on
the same footing in the matter of rates.

Wen Prepared for All Emergencies.

The Pennsylvania road, doubtless, has the
best and most complete equipment for removing
wrecks, and care of persons who may be in
jured in wrecks of any road in the country.
For instance, on the New York division there are
four wrecking masters along the line, located at
Jersey City, New Brunswick, Trenton and
Tuilytown. Each Of these has wrecking- train
of two cars, which is ready for service at mo-
ments notice The first car contains an extra
pair of trucks and wheels, frogs, for getting cars
on the tracks, hydraulic jacks, pulleys, ropes,
chains and rebuckets. The other car has
swinging cots, stretchers blankets, bandages,
and every appliance to shelter and minister to
the wounded. There are a cook stove, always
fired up, dining-table, crockery-ware, provis-
ions and many other articles necessary for
hospital purposes. At the time of an accident at
Plainsboro recently, the wrecking train was in
motion eight minutes after the accident oc-
