THE HELPLESS RAILROADS.
The ordinary American has come to
look upon the railroad company an a
species of corporate omnipotence; that
there was nothing In the realm of
human endeavor It could not achieve
once It became Imperatively necessary;
that It held the right-of-way In more
senses than one; that legislatures,
mills, factories, mines, founderles, and
all general businesses, were, primarily,
subject to the first and exclusive de
mands of the railroad concerns. But
It seems not. The railroads of the
country are practically helpless before
the astounding volume of traffic they
cannot move for the want of cars.

SAFE, SANE AND SOLID.
The broad tenor of the dispatches
Indicating the election resuits all over
the Union, convey the assurance that
the people, in the major sense, are safe,
sane and solid. They are not to be
carried away by the hollow allure
ments of the extremist, be he social
ist, unionist, or experimentalist; they
are conscious of the existence of real
and potent forces for good in the men
and conditions heretofore pre-emlent
a the councils of the nation; that the
Rooseventlan principle is the dominant
factor in the present successful and
Honorable statti. of things govern
mental and commercial; that It will
take some profounder cause for change
than the mere vaporings of a party
starving to death for official prefer
ment; and the deductions to be drawn
from the returns are altogether whole
some and gratifying, far beyond any
partisan expression, and co-ordinate
only with the popular benefit Inherent
in the popular choices made.
That New York, the President's own
state, has gone Republican by an hon
est and conclusive majority. Is essen
tially pleasing to the party, as It con
firms, not only his strong and help
ful doctrines of administrative reform,
but accentuates the acts and policies
of the Fifty-ninth Congress and paves
the way for their expansion and en
forcement, to the abundant good of
the masses.
That Idaho Is still dubious as to
actual results, leaves a grateful glim
mer of hope that Governor Gooding is
not defeated, and that the principle
of an honest enforcement of the crim
inal laws of the country Is not yet
prostituted to the radical whims of a
prejudiced coterie that is determined
to exploit a verdict In the Steunen
berger murder case, without the cus
tomary formality of a trial. For the
sake of righteous government and Its
cleanly disposal of this vital element
of contention there, it is to be hoped I
that Gooding will be re-elected to do
his utmost in the interest of the In
nocence, or the guilt, of the men now
under criminal stricture in this behalf.
The "Evergreen" state holds her own
in the Republican phalanx and has
nothing to lose by the verdict handed
In by her electors, and will preserve
her usual lmportat status in the na
tional congress to the certain advan
tage of the entire Pacific . coast.
Pennsylvania has been preserved to
the credit of the nation and the wild
boasts of the Democrats that she was
thelr's go glimmering, along with the
equally fallacious claim that Missouri
would renlg from her Republican sta
tus and lapse back to the inertia and
Incompetency of her Inherited regi
men. The Sixtieth Congress is amply Re
publican for all the purposes of the
nation In its march to pre-eminence
and prosperity, and the detinles of
the Bryan-Hearst combine have re
ceived the smothering and obliterat
ing knock-out that was inevitable. The
United States is still sane.
