BRIDGEPORT.

An interesting fact Is MADE known
relative to the financial condition OF the
new electric line. The amount Of busi-
ness has surprised even the projectors
OF the enterprise. In the opening OF a
new road 1t Is never expected in the
first few months to pay its expenses,
but in footing up the accounts for the
past two months credit Of ISL, lack
ing only few cents, is found. This
amount Is above all running expenses,
including the cost for the wear and tear
of cars and machinery. Such start Is
certainly reassnring.
A cow belonging to Winfield Ruden-
cutter broke down the pasture fence

costs, and not being able TO pay he was
locked up in a cell last night to serve

OUR Columbus, Ohio, correspondent
furnishes the REGISTER with JOHN
SuEE,lAN's letter in reply TO Governor
McKINLEY's request to the old man TO
leave the Senate and help him out. 1t
is fair to assume that Major MCKIN-
LEY's letter must have been very urgent,
10 view Of the Senator's reply. SHER-
MAN said: al will at once go to Ohio
and do what l can in aid Of your cleo
tion, though I had supposed this was
well assured" Mr.. MCKINLEY is be-
ginning to feel a little squeamish.
He feels that it is not going his way
so triumphantly as at first predicted.
The Major, if he gets a few more ques-
tions from intelligent auditors poked
at him, VIII cut his estimate down
little more iu the next few Gays.
As sample Of one Of the wild efforts
at blu0ing INDUCED in by Ohio Re-
publcaus and newspapers, they started
out by claiming NcKNLEY's election
by 10000 This claim has been lower
ed by easy stages Till now these blus-
terers are content with $4,000 or 90 200
majority. Before the week is cut they
will be content with claiming the Gov
errors election.

HERE comes so good an authority as
the Scientific AmCrtcUB and asserts that
the assumption that there is a safe test

is an error. 1t quotes leading chem

To determine whether an untried fun
gus was edible, he would cook and eat
a piece the size OF a silver dime; if this
produced no effect he would prepare
and eat a piece as large as a silver dol
lar; II this produced no effect he would
consider that fungus as a safe one. As
the chemist still lives, it is inferred
that he never got any tOadstools in
his'n.

WIDE nIFEERENrE-

The charge is tauntingly made by the
Republican press that the Democrats Of
the present Congress have been com
PEELED to resort TO the tactics Of Gear
RErD in order to facilitate the transac-
ton Of legislative business. II this
were true 10 would be a humiliation in
deed, but there is a wide difference be-
tween the purely arbitrary and bull
doing methods Of Tom REED and
the strictly parliamentary methods
Of the Democratic leaders in the pres
ent Congress. REED counted a majority
when the Republicans had not majority
necessary TO pass a party measure. He
manufactured a quorum by counting
hats and overcoats in the cloak room,
when the wearers thereof were no in
their seats.
The Democratic majority Of the pres
ent House have not resorted to such un.
warranted tactics. All they have done
has been 10 give the Committee Oh
Rules power to fix the orders of the
day and prescribe the length of time
for debate, and no new preroEative has
been granted to the Speaker.
In the Senate, where, unfortunately,
there is no cloture rule, the will of the
majority has been thwarted by flibus-
tering minority, but there has been no
resort TO the disgraceful tricks Of Car
REED. The Senate is convinced Of the
weakness Of its rules and will amend
them in q legal manner, which is an en-
tireIy different thing from allowing one
man to manufacture a quorum when
there was none.

REpnnL1cAN ExrRAvAaANuE.

The official statements that are made
from time to time showing the receipts
and expenditures Of the government In
dictate a growing deficiency. Secretary
CARLISLE recently made the statement
that "a simple calculation will show
that with the small working balance in
the treasury, and which has been de-
creasing in varied ratios for several
years, il there be no improvements in
the receipts OF the revenues for the re-
naming three-fourths Of the present
fiscal year and no legislative reduction
Of expenditures, there may be contem-
plated deficiency at the end Of the
year Of $50. 900, 900 10 the revenues and
over $50, 600, 900 with reference to the
estimates.
The official statements show that in
July the expenditures exceeded the rev.
enues by S0,OOO,O 900; in August there
was an excess Of expenditures Of s1O,
OOOO 900, and in September Of 81, 900,
while during the first half Of October
the excess Of expenses over receipts con-
tinued This is a bad showing in COM
parison TO the situation prior to the
Harrison administration, when the rev.
enues ranged as high as S1OO,OOO,O0O
per aunum over the expenditures.
Whatever may be said by the enemies
Of the present democratic admlnistra-
ton, this one fact stands outimpregnable
and consplcuous-the hundred million
surplus that was turned over to the
Harrison administration in 1889 has
been dlssipated by Republican legisla-
ton and the extravaganza and reckless
ness Of a Republican administration.
The government now faces this
alarming defclt-the pernicious result
az Republican policy-a policy that has
inflicted woes upon the people that are
num5erless, and from which it will
require time to bring about relief and
prosperity.

When Brakeman Thompson-who, by
the way, has never been fOund-Opened
a switch at Kingsbury, Ind, and sent a
Wabash passenger train headlong
against a solid line Of loaded freight
cars, the indignant public suggested all
sorts of punishment for him. Men who
had worked on train crews were not so
bitter. One OF the prominent railway
officials Of Chicago general passenger
agent-took the trouble TO inquire into
Thompson'S record and learned that he
had been one Of the most intelligent,
competent and careful men in the en-
ploy of the company.
'He has suffered his full penalty
already" said the passenger agent.
Il know what it is TO live a year in two
seconds. When / was q mere bow,
crazy for railroading, / went out as a
brakeman. One day our train was on
a siding waiting for an express to go by.

wasn't thinking Of switches, trains or
anything in the world except certain
person whom ! was expecting to meet
at the other end OF the run. went to
that switch whisteling and thinking Of
this something else. l unlocked the
switch, threw it open, turned my back
TO it and watched the express train
grow larger as it swung down the long
grade toward me. / saw it, but | wasn't
thinking OF it until, when IL was almost
upon me, l noticed the engineer Jump
from his place in the window. The
whistle for brakes helped to arouse
me. turned TO the switch, and then
il dawned upon that the switch was
open aud that the express train was
headed for the siding.
81 jumped against the upright and
the train went by on the main track.
The engineers face was white
through the coal dust. 1 had no time
TO lock the switch. simply lay against
it until the last car had passed and then
1 dropped in faint.
THAT engineer knew me and never
reported IT, II he had wouldn't have
been In the railroad business to-day.
''Since then / have some pity and
sympathy for men who make what seem
TO be criminal blunders. You can't tell
why they do certain things at the wrong
time. They can't tell themselves"
