an Important Election.
CHICAGO, December 1.-THE most i'm
portant local election probably ever held
in Chicago took place today. 1t was to
decide the control of the newly created
board of nine Waterway Commissioners,
the members OF which are to have the
raising and disbursing OF funds estimated
at from fifteen to thirty million dollars,
to be used in carrying out the great Chi
csgo drainage and ship canal project,
which will necessitate the employment
for an indefinite period of from ten
to fifteen Thousand men. Cumulative
voting was permitted, and the Democrats
and Republicans each nominated but
five men, the aim being to secure the
majority'of the board. A "citizen's" or
Independent ticket was afterwards put in
tine field with elk names, three former
Democrats and three former Republicans.
At midnight the ret:rns from about hall
the precincts indicate the election of the
six Independents, and that the three re-
manning places will fall to Democrats.
On this basis the board, which promises
to play an important part in Illinois
politics, will stand three straight Demo-
Gratis, three independent Democrats,
and three Independent Republicans.

Morgan, the other day. expressed the
opinion that the American citizen of
African descent would be best
disposed of by sending him to

from which he originally came. These
projects may be called the fantasies Of

off a speech or two, and that is about all
that can ever be accomplished in that
line. The negro is firmly wedged into

In A carefully considered article in tn Q
December number of the North american
Review, Mr.. Roger @. Mills devotes his
pen to consideration Of the Republican
anxiety to 80 change the rules governing
the House of Representatives as to de-
prive the minority of their rights. He
assumes, and probably rightfully, that
behind this movement there is deep
and cunning scheme to rush through
measures to consolidate Republican
power and insure Its perpetuity. Mr..
Mills is warranted in his provisions, but
it is consoling to know that such plans
often miscarry. An interruptions use of
power is very frequently the subtle
agency by which majority is converted
into minority. The Republican con-
troll of the House is held by such a
slender figure that it is very doubtful
whether any very sweeping measures
could be passed in any event. Mr..
Mills devotes a portion Of his article to
the celebrated flibustering in the House
in 1882, so feelingly dwelt upon by
Speaker Reed in q previous com
munication in the same periodical
and the Texan shows that these
tactics were rightfully resorted to by
Democrats in order to prevent the Re-
publican majority from unseating Demo
Gratis who had been elected by decisive
msiorities. Mr.. Mills points to the fscI
that in the present House there are
seventeen Republican contestants. and
expresses the belief that an effort will b.
made to seat them in order to insure al
effective working Republican majority
It is quite possible, however, that tn,
result of the elections in Ohio, Iowa, New
York and other States will make the un
scrupulous Republican leaders thinl
twice before attempting any high-hsndet
programme. AS nothing is more certain
than that the next House of Represents
tives will be overwhelmingly Democratic
they may recall the melancholy com
muning of Macbeth, eve but teach
bloody instructions that, being taught.

THE SUSPENSE WAS DREADFUL.
Thrilling Experience OF Passengers

ON the Canadian Pacific.
WINNIPEG, Man., December IA
citizen Just arrived from the Pacific
Coast tells of thrilling accident to the
Canadian Pacific through express in the
mountains. A rail gave way at point
on the mountain side high above she
Columbia river. The engine passed over
safely. but the two coaches following
swung about and toppled over. The
bank was almost perpendicular, and the
cars would have tumbled several
hundred feet into the river had
lie not been that the coupling
twisted around and held the tremendous
weight. There were the two cars, ore
with it's load of passengers suspended
over ths abyss. The weight of the en-
CINE and the balance of the trsin pre-
vented the suspended cars from drawing
the whole train down. The suspense was
dreadful. The frightened passengers
were compelled to remain in their per-
iious position until the train hands built
platform around and underneath the
hanging cars, enabling all to make their
escape. The place where the accident
occurred is considered the most danger.

THE PRESIDENT-ELECT.
Cen. Harrison Hard at Work on his Ad-
dress-His Letters Yesterday.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 27.-Gen.
Harrison has been busy at work all day
in his library, stopping long enough,
however, to have a conference with
several callers. Senator Spooner, Of
Wisconsin, came last night, presunl-
ably in the interest Of Senator Allison
for cabinet position, as we'll as to
look after other matters. He declined
to say anything for publication further
than that the tariff bill will pass the
Senate, but probably not the House,
and that be does not believe there will
be an extra session.
w. W. Scott, member Of the national
committee from West Virginia, and j.
E. Dana, of Charlestown, West Va,
called on the President-elect to-day.
G. Nathaniel, Pratt, of New Orleans,
is also in the city, his particular mission
being to urge Gen. Harrison to take a
decided stand in favor of compulsory
education.
w. S. Scott, Of Wheeling, ". Va,
member of the national committee; G..
Burdett Hart, editor Of the Wheeling
Inteligencer; w. }. Dowdorf, of the
county committee, with J. G. Dana, OF
Charlestown, called on the President
elect to-day. Mr.. Scott urged the selec-
ton of a Southern man for the cabinet,
and presented General Goff for place.
He also urged conciliatory policy with
reference to the South. Mr.. Scott en-
phasized the idea that the Democrats
and Republicans are endeavoring to
evolve new South by the introduction
of capital and energy. This change III
sentiment began during the latter days
of Republican rule and has bee.i con-
tinued, and it specially desirable that
it be continued.
Mr.. Scott also urged that while we
want Republican administration, and
the,local Offices filled with Republicans,
at the same time we demand the
inauguration of such as will command
the respect of our political opponents. "
To all this the President-elcct gave
special attention. At the first opportu-
nifty, however, he turned from the
theme and the conversation became
general.
The President-elect is growing weary
of the constant strain on his listening
faculties and to-day he said to ". H.
Bailey, of Missouri: Il often wished,
before the election, I could do less
talking and more listening; now want
to do more talking and less listening.'
