AGAIN THE PROPHETS.

The Republican prophets are again
sending forth their cheerful message.
Senator Allison predicts that Gov.
Boies cannot carry his own State il he
is nominated by the Democrats for
President. Ex-senator Warner Mil
ler-just peeping up from his three
years berth outside the bresstworks-
predicts that the Republicans will
surely carry New York. And other
optimistic members Of the same party
indulge in equally hopeful auguries.
II is the old story.
In 1889 Senator Allison predicted
that Boies would be beaten-but he
wasn't. Last Fall the Senator was
coolssure that Buies could not win
but he did, and by an increased
plurality, on the largest vote ever
cast in Iowa.
AS for New York-well, O recollec-
ton Of the Republican prophecies for
the last seven years is enough to

stand up on his bind legs and laugh
his head off," Every year the Dem
ocrats were to be- beaten, destroyed,
buried, wiped out, snnihilated. And
every year the Democrats have won.
Last year the Republican prophets
we're in full cry. Miller, Hustled,
Platt. Fassett, Shepard, even the
cold-blooded George BIiss-all proph-
eeied the success Of their party.
And yet they were beaten by nearly
fifty Thousand votes. The World
led them all at prognostics. 1t esti-
mated the Democratic plurality with
in less than one thousand votes of
the official count.
And it tells all these too-previous
prophets now that the next President
will be Democrat. Let them stick
pin therein. Y. World.

TILE PoToMAc VALLEY

The Potomac Valley railroad was
chartered by the State of Maryland
January IG, 1890. and by the state 81
West Virginia July 25 Of the same
year. The contract for the construc-
ton of the road was given to Ryan q
Mcdonald, of Baltimore, in March,
1891, and the work of grading began
soon afterward. The road has not YET
been turned over to the company by
the contractors. There is some bal.
lasting to be done, which it is said,
will require about two weeks longer
to complete. Until this is finished the
road will not be opened to passenger
traffic, although passenger business
is expected to make a valuable item in
the operation Of the line.
The total cost of the road is estimated
at about 100000 1t traverses a
heavy country, but has easy grades
throughout its entire length. 1t cross
