WEDNESDAY, FEB. 5, 1890.

1T one were to judge Of speaker Reed
according TO the criticisms of the Demo
cratic press, he would be tyrant and
usurper, denying just and constitutional
rights TO the Ininority. But when one re.
fleets that all the ado is because he in
sists on counting as present at roll call
those Democrats who are present but re-
fuse to answer to their names, it looks as
though he was a brave reformer who is
determined TO crush an evil of years, and
compel members Of Congress 10 transact
the business for which they were elected
1t seems strange that an evil such as
that of breaking quorum by refusing tc
answer ut roll call, should have been per
mitted so long. The effect of such prac
tice is to destroy in great measure the
power of the majority, and to retard bu.
siness.
The sober common sense of the people
will approve of the action of Speaker
Reed, and precedent has been set that
will be followed In the years to come.

Another New Railroad.

For sometime past q gang of men have
been engaged in surveying a new railroad
from Philadelphia to New York, crossing
the Delaware short distance above Trcn-
ton. About week ago, when the sur
veyors came from Philadelphia surveying
the route, they ascertained that, as pro-
posed, 1t would strike New Jersey at abo ut
the center of the Asylum, which of course
was impracticable. They then went back
as far as Hulmeville, and made new sur
vey from that point. Now the line will
cross the river just above the Calhoun
street bridge, Trenton, and connect with
the Baltimore and Ohio road recently
built, which crosses Arthur's kill, TO Sta
ten Island and New York. This will give
the Baltimore and Ohio o. through road
from Philadelphia and New York. One
reason why the road will build this branch
is because the arrangements with the
Bound Brook road are not altogether sat
isfactory, and they desire TO control abso-
lutely the whole line of road. Tic line
will run in Philadelphia to Twenty. fourth
and Chestnut streets.
