There will be many contests made on
the above schedule, and if the Republi-
cans succeed in organizing the House We
may expect to see the tactics of the party
as practiced in early post-bellum days
again resorted to in throwing out, with
little cerem ony, dozen, perhaps a
score, Democrats, and the seating of
their opponents. This would give the
party an easy working majority and save
much trouble in putting through
their schemes. OF course the new
Congress cannot assemble until
March, and then only in case of an extra
session; and death may change the
balance of the parties before that time.
1t looks as if the next Congress might be
the scene Of good deal of filibustering
and of little practical results.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
CHICAGO, December 4.-There was a
notable gathering of traffic officials in
Chicago to-day. They were members of
the Committee on Uniform Classfica-
tions, and were convened to take up the
important task of merging all the differ
ent systems of freight classifcations into
one, in accordance with the recent re-
quest OF the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The Committee is composed
of three representatives from every traf-
ic association in the country, including
the New England Trunk Line, Central

Iranscontinental and Mississippi Valley
Associations. 1t will probably be in
session for several weeks.

numbers II, 900. In the recent National
election the people had square issue of
much Importance set for them, and
$4,000 electors expressed their views
thereupon. On Monday we had city
election in which there was also local
issue which made men think. The result
was the bringing out of 10, 900 voters, two
thirds of the total registration and nearly
three-fourths of the vote cast for Presi-

The Western Union Telegraph Com.

THE Western-U Union Telegraph Com
pany achieved notable triumph in
transmitting the Presidents Message to
Los Angeles. The text was given to the
Company in Washington on Monday
morning and was sent through here in
two hours on four wires. 1t contained
10000 words, and had to be repeated
twice between Washington and Los
Angeles. When we consider the inevita-
BILE delays in repeating, and the number
of hands it passed through, the trans
mission was not only signal trium ph in
the quickness with which it was sent
here but in the accuracy with which it
was delivered to the HERALD. However
much we object to the Western Union ON
account of its monor olistic powers, We
must say that it is efficient and reliable
in its telegraphic service to the public.

Liberals were alive TO the numerical
weakness Of the ministerial supporters,
and sought to cut short the discussion in
order to have an early division. The

division until their benches
