ment of many hundreds of cars.
In View OF the increase in this traffic
the companies are now inaugurating a
comprehensive plan Of improving and in
creaeing their terminal facilities at Allan
Tic City, with special reference to the
better accommodation OF the special ex-
cursion traffic. A new site has been
secured for the Excursion House, on
which much larger and more completely
appointed building will be erected
The building will be equipped with
every convenience that cGn contribute to
the comfort and pleasure of excureioutsts.
In addition to the main structure all
open pavilion for dancing will also be
provided. other means Of amusem sns
embrace gravity railrcad, flying horses
and other features. The bath houses
connected with the establishment will
afford ample accommodations for large
numbers Of bathers.
The grounds surrounding the house
will be owned and controlled by the rail
road Companies. The track room will be
largely increased, aud the present plan
contemplates sufficient trackage for the
loading and unloading OF three trains OF
twenty cars each Ut one time.
Another feature which will add largely
to the convenience of the patrons OF
these lines Is the fact that the steam
motor railroad between Atlantic City
and Longport passes through the
grounds, on which there is station, and
the Exclusion uouse is the termi-
nus OF the Hlectric Railway,

CLETEL.iND FOR CONGRESS-

1t is not often that the people Of
this nation witness the spectacle Of an
ex-President sitting in either the up
per or lower house of the national
legislature. John Quincy Adam,
served seventeen years in The House
Of Representatives after he he'd ceased
to be the Chief Magistrate, and An
drew johnson was elected a member
of the Senate some wears after the
close OF his term as President, but it
Is fact to he remembered that in no
case in the history Of the United States
has public man risen to the presi-
dency, then served a term in Con-
gress, and been reelected at later
date to the highest position within
the gift of the people.
1t Is now proposed that the mega
tive precedent thus established shall
be overturned. The friends of Mr..
Cleveland are urging that he shall
allow the use of his name as the
Democratic candidate for Congress in
the Ninth New York District to sue
ceed the late Sunset Cox. The dis
trict is reliably Democratic, and it is
reasonably certain that there will be
no serious opposition to Mr.. Cleve-
land nomination should he consent
to run.
1t is usged by his friends that as a
member of the House of Representa-
tives, his name would be kept promi-
nently before the people as tie most
available standard-bearer for the
Democracy in the national con est of
1892. 1t is difficult to see how anv
additional prominence can he secured
by thrustlng the ex- President into the
body Of bowling dervishes known as
the House Of Representatives. There
Is no scope for the otium cum digaitaie
which is proverbially the proper
caper for great men to cut when
gently descending from the political
heights. AS consulting member of a
great law firm the exPresident is in n
far better situation to attract public
support than as a member of the
lower house of Congress, for the rough
and tumble Of which lie is not fitted
by nature or training.
But Cleveland, it must be remem-
bered, has smashed all precedents in
his rise step by step in his political
What loses for others wins
for him. Where others have found
quicksands he has walked on firm
ground. All stars have led the man
of Buffalo to greatness. 1t seems to
make little difference to the ex-Presi-
dent and his friends that no man has
ever served as Chief Executive OF this
country, been defeated for reelection,
and at later date once more CAP
tured the Presidency. Cleveland, it
is boldly asserted, is law unto him
self. He can serve in Congress, fuse
with that with which it seems clear
be cannot fuse, and come out trium-
phantly as the successful candidate
Of the Democracy in 1892. We shall
