1t is very sad, as the mugwumps
say, that the republican party
pays so little attention to pub
lie OPINION" i. c., the opinion OF
the people who do not belong to
it in the forming Of its platforms.
1t seems to have struck these limo
cents that the republican party has
an oplnlon OF its own and that it
usually expresses it in the best
English at its command. The re.
publican party has always been
inclined 70 do its own thinking in
all political questions. That is
what il is here for.

DESIRABLE as it would be and far as
it would so in the interest of purer poll
tics to relegate the election OF the Presi-
dent and of Senators to a direct vote of
the people, such a change cannot at
present be brought about. 1t requires
an amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, and that can be done only by the
consent of two-thirds of the States. The
Republican party carried the recent Ma
tional election by lavish and corrupt
use of money. They do not wish to close
their only path to the White House. The
monopolies and corruptionists live by
the Republican party and in turn
uphold that organization. By their
gold Mr.. Harrison carried Indiana,
and new York, although it failed in New
Jersey. Without lavish and corrupt
use of money the party will never carry
another National election. This is well
known in political circles that direct the
wires of the g. o. p. The change in the
Constitution can therefore not be made
1t is also doubtful if such bill as that
contemplated in this connection could
ever pass the Senate, so many oil whose
members owe their seats to the use of
money.

In THE HERALD OF this morning may
be found letter from an Eastern tourist
who recently spent some time in this
city. He writes back to friend setting
forth his views on US and ours belong
ings. The point on which he dwells
with most emphatic disparagement is the
lack Of good roads which he discovered
here. His remarks may serve to stir up
our citizens to more energetic efforts in
this respect. This city ought to be the
best paved and the best sidewalked CITY
in the Union. 1t ought also to have the
greatest variety OF good drives of any
city in the land. Our aim is to be re-
sort for tourists, for people in search of
health and comfort in a mild climate.
Such people for the most part have
plenty of leisure on their hands, and
also they generally are people of means.
Good streets and coed drives minister
much to the pleasure of this class OF
visitors, and it should be our earnest
endeavor to provide them all in un-
stin.ed measure.

REPUBLICANS are conceding the elec-
ton of solid Democratic delegation to
Congress from West Virginia. That
makes change in the table published
in the HERALD yesterday, and makes the
House 161 Democratic to 1853 Republi-
cans. Small and beautifully less grows
that certain and comfortable working
majority for the G. o. p. claimed after the
recent election. 1t will be difficult to
organize on SO narrow margin. Still
more difficult will it be to carry out the
scheme of silent but energetic Mr..
Quay to unseat enough Democrats to
make the working of the majority per-
fectly comfortable. But there is still
more serious aspect to the affair-so close
a House makes the transaction of any
business next to impossible.

THE TRAFFIC CONFEREES.
Uniform Classificatt0ns Desirab lie
but Hard to Bring About.

CHICAGO, December 5.-The committee
on Uniform Classifications, after two days
discussion Of the subject before it, re-
solved to-day that strict uniformity can
not be reached by forced or hurried
measures without producing conditions
disastrous to the business of the country.
1t was agreed that the greater uniformity
in the classification OF freight is both de-
sirable and practicable, but that the only
safe way to work out the problem was by
frequent conference and constant effort
by the railroads to remove the disparities
in the several classification now in use
A standing committee was therefore ap-
pointed, composed of two members from
each of the traffic associations to follow
up the work of commencing the different
classifications. 1t was decided to use
such number of classes as will prevent
conflicting commodities as well as class
rates in several sections of the country,
without sacrificing the proper interests of
the carriers. The general meeting then
adjourned to meet in Chicago the second
Tuesday in February.

The Democrats have a splendid ms

The Democrats have splendid ma
jority in the new Council, which will take
seats next Monday. Our party has eleven
of the fourteen memb bers. The Charter
does not contain any Civil Service pro-
visions, and, therefore, there is a small
army of applicants for the several offices
in the gift of this BODY, For all these
places there are large number of really
excellent candidates, and, therefore,
there should not be the least difficulty
in making fitting selection for
each. The new legislative body of this
city will be composed of unusually in
telligent men of the highest character,
and presumably of patriotic Democratic
sympathies. The judgment of such men
ought to be capable of being implicitly
depended upon to do right. 1t is hardly
conceivable that any of the Democratic
members will use his influence to secure
place for an improper person. The
HERALD therefore suggests that
on next Saturday these gentlemen fol-
low the old-time and honored Demo
cratic precedent of getting together in
caucus, and coming to some decision as
to how these places are to be filed.
We, at this stage Of the proceedings, are

IT is doubtless a great advantage to
political parties to have their principles
and interests advertised by newspaper
organs. The Republicans of this city
can appreciate this advantage from the
result of the late city election. With
two able morning papers and one even
ing paper throwing hot shot into the
Democracy at every issue, they raked
the enemy fore and aft. They had their
ticket triumphantly elected three times a
day prior to the election, but when the
votes came to be counted there was a
significant shortage in the ballots of the
&. O. p. There may be such thing as
too much organ, especially if some OF the
instruments are tangled, out of tune
and harsh.".

FELICITY, Ohio, is anything but felici-
tous at present. The population of the
town is very mixed and composed largely
of Negroes. This fall the Negro chill
dren attempted to attend the public
schools, and there being no separate
schools for the several races this brought
them into contact with the white chill
dren of the place. Then came the war to
the knife and the knife to the hilt. So bit
terly is the battle being fought that riot
broke out in the unhappy Felicity and the
houses of the Negroes we're attacked and
many of them destroyed. Do not fail to
note that this Outrage" on the "colored
man and brother" was committed in
Ohio-in Republican Ohio. If it had
been in Louisiana or Mississippi how the
Hoars, the Ingalls, and Forakers of the
g. o. p. would boil over in their rage
What talk their would be Of the suppress
sion Of the Negro and the need of new
civil war after the manner of Brother
Shepherd of the New York Mail and

that certainly alters the case, you see.

KNIGHTS AND MINERS.
A Joint Convention at Columbus.
A New NFgaMiZaliOn.

COLUMBUS, O., December 5.-District
Assembly 1856, Knights OF Labor, held
session this morning at which Powderly
was present and set forth the importance
of standing by the Order and making
promises in behalf of the Miners Feder-
alton, which held a meeting also during
the forenoon and decided to accept no
proposition at the joint convention, ex-
cept that looking to q single
National union. There were about
ninety delegates present at the joint
convention. They at once proceeded
to discuss the call for the formation of
new organization, and a large number of
speeches were made, when an adjourn
ment was taken, the delegates opposing
the new organization and supporting the
Knights of Labor, being given TO under
stand that they need not return to the
evening session unless they were willing
to proceed with the miners to organize
Independently.
Tonight it was decided that the new
miners organization should proceed.

YESTERDAY the gentlemen of this city
who become bound for the payment OF
100000 to the Government to secure the
Soldiers Home at Santa Monica paid
ever two-thirds of the sum, $66,66625
and Colonel Baker and Senator Jones
signed, sealed and delivered deed for
two hundred out of the three hundred
acres of land which is to be the site of the
Home. A new contract was executed
for tie other one hundred acres, and
notes payable one each year for one
tenth of the balance of the money
were given to secure its payment. The
sum paid over goes into the improve
ments, and the deferred payments will
be used to adorn the grounds. There are
two large buildings, each costing $26, 900
on the gounds and about ready to open
Two similar buildings are we'll under
way, making the first group OF barracks
for the veterans. In all twenty-five OF
these edifices are to be constructed, and
these will accommodate five thousand
old soldiers. No others of the aged and
INDECENT warriors in the land will have
any such lovely quarters as these have
beside the sunset sea where flowers
bloom all the year.

TO-DAY the City Council meets to count
the vote for municipal officers. In many
cases the vote is very close. On the face
of the semi-official returns the Democrats
elect their candidate for Treasurer by
nineteen votes. The Republicans claim
they have small majority on this office.
The Assessor is also claimed by both
parties by close vote. These facts will
render very careful count necessary.
Should the Democrats prove to have
elected these two officers together with
the Mayor and five out of eight CouI Gil
men, viz: Two in the Second ward, one
in the Third and two in the Fourth, this
giving them eleven out of the fifteen
members in this body, the victory will
be exceedingly substantial.

DEATH BY THE ELECTRIC FLUID.
Experiments on Animals Prove the
Effectiveness Of the Deadly
Current.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.

Associated freSs dispatches TO the HERALD
New YORK, December 5.-On January
l, 1889, the law requiring electrical ex-
ecution goes into effect, but until to-day
the amount and character of the current
required to make death certain and in
had not been determined.
The experiments upon dogs last summer
by Harold P. Brown, electrical engineer,
were criticised because the weight of the
animals killed was less than that of
man, as it was supposed a greater cur
rent would be required to kill human
being. On that account Brown was
given an opportunity to make demon
stration before Elbridge T. Gerry, author
of the electrical execution law, and a
committee appointed by the Medico Legal
Society to report on the best means of
putting the law into effect. The expert
ments were made at Edison's labora-
tory, and the first victim was a calf
weighing 1241a pounds. The hair was
cut on the forehead and on the spine be-
hind the forelegs, and sponge covered
plates moistened in a solution of fsulphate
of zinc, were fastened in place. The re-
sistance of the animal was 5000 ohms
an alternating current of 7OO volts was
applied for 35 seconds and the animal
was dead. 1t was at once dissected by
Drs. Ingram and Bloyere, but the brain,
heart and lungs were found to be in a
nomal condition and the meat
was pronounced good for food.
The second calf weighed 142
pounds and had resistance of 1900
ohms. A deadly alternating current of
700 volts pressure was applied for five
seconds and produced death. To settle
the permanent weight question a horse
weighing ,230 pounds was next killed
by. passing an alternating current of 700
volts from one foreleg to the other. The
resistance of this animal was 1000
ohms. The experiments proved the
alternating current to be the most deadly
force known to science, and that less
than half of the pressure used in this
city for electric lightning by this system
is sufficient to cause instant death.
