RAILROAD NOTES.

AT last the project of making COM
peting line from Hopa.cong through
Dover, Morristown and Caldwell to the
Greenwood Lake road has assumed tan
gible shaped and the chance of it being
carried out is good. The scheme was
thoroughly discussed last week in New
York, and among the interested people
who attended the meeting We're H. G.

Hoagland and j. e. v. Mellick was ap-
pointed to consider the possibility OF
building the road already described, with
a branch to Morristown, and to ascertain
the estimated cost, probable traffic and
the financial support likely to be given
by the various towns, and to submit a
written report at the next meeting to be
held in New York on September Q. The
appearance OF Delos Culver in The scheme
does not offer much encouragement, how
ever, for his ASSOCIATION with railroad en-
terprises has not been what might be con-
sidered successful.

THE GREAT DEPOT.
Laying the Foundation walls-The Track

Fmbankment.
The work of constructing the founda-
ton wall of the Pennsylvania depot goes
on at a rapid rate. The excavation for
the foundation wall is about finished and
a train load of huge stones is on the track
at the depot waiting to be unloaded.
These stones will be used in the construc-
tion of the foundation wall.
The operations of workmen are hidden
from the view of passengers by wooden
partition which occupies the entrance to
the old car shed. There are two wooden
trestles completed thus far. At frequent
intervals trains loaded with earth are run
on these trestles and the earth is thrown
down under the trestle to make an en-
bankment. From present appearances it
would appear that the whole area TO be
occupied by the new depot will be filled
in.
AS soon as the temporary quarters in
Greene street can be put In proper order
large contingent OF the clerical offices
of the road will be removed thither.

The men emphatically deny that they
had no cause to strike, or that they
apologized to Mr.. Day. Some eight or
ten of them were seen by JERSEY CITY
NEWS reporter at noon. All agreed that
the prices had recently advanced, in ac-
cordance with new scale sub
mitted by the Knights in New York:
and Brooklyn, and that the increased
prices were being paid in New York and
Brooklyn, but not in Jersey City. This
was half cent in advance of what Mr..

NOT THE WAY TO BUY TT.

The example of the Democrats of Hill
nois in naming their choice for United
States senator is likely to be followed
by the party in nearly all the states
that have senators to elect by the legiS-
latures to be chosen this year. The feel
ing in favor of that course is injecting
the Republicans. This was shown in
the Republican convention of Illinois.
1t was with much difficulty that the
managers were able to smother all eX-
preston in the way of reform in this
matter. The resolutions were purged
of commentator of Gov. OGLEsBY, as
he was dangerously near being the
choice of the party to make the popular
canvass with Gov. PALMER. He is a
speaker of great volubility, and always
a favorite with his party. He made
it troublesome for LOGAN at times to
hold down his seat. But FARwELL is a
millionaire, and knows the uses of
money in politics. He would stand no
show before the people as an avowed
candidate, but the way must be left
open for him to buy the caucus. The
IeSull 10 coHceueu W uePeIiu upou tHo
Chicago districts, and to aid him he had
the chief position Oh the ticket given to
a popular German OF Chicago. The
friends of OGLEsBY urge him to go
about replying to PALMER without a
nomination. The effort of FARwELL
will be to keep him still, as his canvass
would give him prestige as candidate.
The men who work their way with
money are all opposed to this plan of
the Illinois Democrats. They admit
that it is far more difficult to buy up a
popular convention than legislative
caucus.

NOT WANTED SOUTH.

There is something of the pigmy he
rOlc in the impetuOuS declaration and
pedal descent with which the little man
in the White house affirms his approval
of the election bill. In view OF the
prevalent silence in that qua rter over
other public questions, there is all the
emphasis he could give in the reckless
proclamation that he did not care who
knew it. In most cases this sort of a
delivery from president would have a
powerful effect in solidifying the part y
vote for the measure; but 10 one eX-
poets that this bill will be strengthened
vote in either house by the support of
the president. No Importance is at
tached to his declaration. 1t is not Ger
tain but that in the senate, if it has any
effect. twill repel Republican votes. tits
not matter of pride to see the opinions
of even Ben HARRISON, as president,
held in so light esteem; but he displays
the narrow partisan in his unealled-for
course. There is one singular fact
about this election bill-while it is de-
signed to secure the election of Repub-
licans in the South. the most earnest
opposition to it comes from the Repub-
licans in the South. Congressman
EWART, of North Carolina, has opposed
it in caucus and in the hoDse as being
ineXpedient on party grounds, as well
as dangerous innovation. NJ. l.. Fox,
the leading Republican editor of that
state, fully agrees with EwART, and,
in all interview at Washington, used
this language:
"While elections are not fair in many
parts of the South, ballot box stuffing
and the much-talked-of violence and
bloodshed are of rare occurrence. and
usually the facts are distorted and ex-
aggerated beyond recognition in reach
ing the North. Election frauds practlced
in the South are of kind over which
bayonets can have no influence, and
with the present jury system a prose-
cution for bribery would be laughed at

publican policy the administration will

II is now evident that REED has de-
termined to usurp Mr.. B LANES place
as the leader of his party. Every move
ment of the speaker is in confirmation
Of that theory, and there is no one who is
closer observer of Mr.. REEDS movements
than Mr.. BLAINE himself. Those who
imagine that the Plumed Knight will
voluntarily retire from the post Of lead
erShlp, or that he will surrender with
out struggle. are mistaken in the tenn
per of the man. Mr.. BLAINE was the
first Republican to raise his voice in OPP
position to REEDS autocratic rulings.
He saw his opportunity to make an is
sue with REED. and to be on the popu"
lar side, and he embraced it. Now he
sees a still better opportunity to lock
horns with the overwhelmingly COM
bine on the tariff issue, for Mr.. BLAINE
knows very well that he has the popu-
lar side of the question. Mr.. BLAINE
is too expert politician not to discern
the direction of the popular breeze. He
is trimming his sail very nicely for the
next Republican nomination; for when
the MCKINLEY bill has been passed. as
it is sure to be. the only salvation for
the Republicans will be to nominate
their only statesman who had the cour-
age to deneunce the Ubiquitous measure.
Having laid its hand to the pillow, the
Republican party cannot afford to look
backwardon the tariff question. The
MCKINLEY bill is founded on the tariff
plank in the Chicago platform, and the
failure of Republican congress to pass
such bill would be to convict the party
of falsehood and deceit. The Republi-
cans are in dilemma, for it looks to be
death either to go forward OF to go
backward. The senate is painfully
conscious of the predicament; yet, as we
have said, the combined power of REED,
MCKINLEY and HARRISON is suffi-
cient to keep the party in line
on this tariff measure. The ap-
preaching congressional elections will
determine the question of leader
ship between REED and BLAINE. If
the members who voted for the MCKIN-
LEY bill are returned, and the next
house is Republican. then Mr.. REED
will be in the saddle. On the other
hand, If the supporters of the McKIN-
LEY bill are repudiated. and the next
house is Democratic, that will settle the
question of leadership in favor of Mr..
BLAINE. because it will be a vindica-
ton of his hostility to the bill.
Mr.. BLAINE is a man who lies awake
of nights taking horoscope of the fut-
ure. Usually he is not deceived in his
forecast of events, and when he hinged
his chances for future leadership on his
opposition to the MCKINLEY bill it is
fairly certain that he had carefully
taken the pulse beat of public senti-
ment on that measure.
