Wednesday. Dec.5 1888.
lore B. B. Grumblings.
It is universally conceded. we think that
the N. Y. N. H. railroad has never before
had a man at its head, with anything like
the push. liberalty and enterprise of presi-
dent Clark. But had that able manager
of this great corporation spent an hour in
the waiting room of the Grand Central
depot on the afternoon before Thanksgiv-
lng day, and heard the curses loud and
deep from the patrons of his road, in their
frantic struggles to get tickets, and get
through the doors and on board of the
trains, he would come to the conclusion
thatjhowever desirable and convenient the
present notion of sending out trains in
series or sections; one or two minutes
apart. might be with his train despatchcrs,
it was a most absolute and dismal failure
in so far as pleasing the public patroniz -
the road is concerned. The writer of this
took his place in line one minute to 5 p. m.
and got to the ticket sellerat five minutes
past 5, having stood in line just six min
utes. In front of him were scores who
wished to take the 5 p. in. Boston-express,
but could not, and behind him were from
fifty to a hundred who wanted to take the
5.02 and the 5.04, but could not get their
tickets in time to do so and had to take
later trains or go away entirely as several?
did in disgust and anger. Yet there were
two ticket sellers rushing in the money and.
out the tickets faster than many can count,
while this inevitable delay was going on, .
a mixed up mob of those who had gotten
their pastcbonrds were frantically charging
on the poor worked and wor‘rlgd (out door-
tenders. and about one in every three of
course was carried for-ward by the crowd,
and pressed into the wrong door and their!
compelled to. squeeze and jamhlmsel
herself but and. into some other place '-'
aged affair it was never our fortune to see
and it was not to 'be wopdgred att that
words not found in the catechism filled the
the air of that closely packed reception
room. True it was an occasion and an
unusual rush of passengers, but old com—f, ' ,
muters aver, that ever since this systemmf a.
deapatchin’g; tfra'lnai‘f’or different stations :l 1:
close upon the heels of each other, the.
greatest inconvenience, confusion and.
complaint has arisen, and that railroad
employees who dare speak their minds -
upon the subject, say that a more confus-
ing and inconvenient system could not be
adopted. For example, the 1 p. in. train
runs through to Bridgeport without a stop,
the 1.02 to Stamford only; the 2 o'clock
makes its first stop at Stamford, the 2.09...
and 2.30 way, to Stamford only; the 3 to
New Haven ; 3.02 toStamfordfaZsecond
3.02 express to Stamford, and then way to
. New Haven; 3.04 to Stamford only, 3.30
Port Chester, and ending its trip at Ner-
walk, 4, New Haven, 4.02 Norwalk, 4.04
Port Chester, and ending at Norwalk, 4.06
and 4.3OStamford; 4 32 Port Chester, 5cx. 4-
press to Bridgeport,5.02 way to Bridgeport,
5.04 Stamford special, 5.30 Stamford way,
5.32 PortChester, 6.03 through express, and
6 03 again, express to Stamford, and way,
to Bridgeport, 6.07 Stamford special, 6.30
Stamford special etc. Now all this is per.
plexing and confusing to the great mass
of travelers not only, but it crowds the :
waiting room of the depot with a mob of,
anxious and,worried people, who by send.
ing off the trains at longer intervals be ,;.
tween would not jam or jostle each other-3-
there, but be out of each others way.\
Then look at it from a local point of view;
Stamford, with a population not quite two, :
thirds as large as Norwalk, we believe, has ,
twenty trains out of New York after 1 p. m.
while Norwalk has only twelve. Coming
to Norwalk from the East, especially be—
yond New Haven, the arrangement of
trains is still more inconvenient. Is it any
wonder in view of all these things that"
Norwalk is the hot bed of the “Parallel"
enterprise, and that our good people pray
night and day for its early building.
+>
The Parallel.
Vice President Stevenson and II. R.
Parrott, of Bridgeport. were in town last
week on business connected with the early
inauguration of their purpose to build the
long deferred “Parallel" Railroad. Pres-
ident Stevenson is unreserved in his asser.
lions that work on its construction between
New York and Bridgeport will he coin~
mencetl at the earliest possible moment.
No delay will be caused for lack of means
for all the money required is already pro.
vided, supposably by the millionaire mag-
nates of the Standard Oil 00., but there are
certain details of organization causing a
temporary delay in order to comply with
strict legal requirements. The Legislature
may also be asked for some little assistance
amendatory of the present charter, made
requisite by the new ownership of the
franchise. A conflict Wit'i the Consoli—
dated road is anticipated by some, but the
new syndicate claim that all they may ask '
will be so reasonable that no' opposition
can effectually defeat or Iong‘delayilhcir
honest purpose to go ahead in the building
of this long-hoped for but long delayed
new railroad. ' .

That n:o;t excellent paper the Hartford
Religious Herald, addresses its patrons in
words so much more appropriate than
we ever had the courage to use, that. we

Quite a number of subscribersjwho were
in arrears have paid up; btit‘tlierc' are

The Washington Post, hich for a‘ long
time claimed a majority in the n. xt House
for the democratic party, now admits that
the republicans will have the disputed
Tennessee district, and at least one of the
four districts in West Virginia, and that »

Poslrnasterflencral Dickinson, it ap—
pears, thinks there has been a general in-
crease of efficiency. in the postal_ser.v1ce in
all its branches tinder his administration
of the department. The long-suffering
people of the United States. for whose
Ballot Reform.
This is one of the reforms which must
come, for without it our system of po ular
shows that until this reform is secured all
other reforms are impossible of sword
plishment. The control of the election
machinery, of the printing‘ and distribut-
ing of the ballots must be taken from the
politicians and put in the hands of the
state. That is, we must take the power
to control our elections away from the
men who have no responsibility and no
interest in government sa’ve extravagance
and corruption. and put it into the hands
of officials who are sworn to do their duty.
Of what use is it to try to get honest men
nominated for office when we leave in the
hands of the political workers the power
to defeat them at the polls by distributing
fraudulent or defective ballots. or by
making “deals” and “dickcrs” which
cheat the people of their will? We have
talked for years about reforming the
primaries and the nominating conventions,
at not one particle of progress has been
made. Under the Massachusetts law any
400 voters, in case of a candidate for state
oliice, and any 100 voters, in a case of a
candidate for a lesser office, by uniting in
a petition in behalf of a candidate of their
choice can have his name printed upon
the official ballots and have those ballots
distributed atthe polls at the public ex-
pense. What more certain way of reform.
ing the primaries could be devised than
this? If there were such a law in New
York cit there would be an end to the
astonishing spectacle which is there so
*often presented ofa “boss" setting up a
candidate of his own for office in spite of
all pr0tests, andfrequentlytelecting him
ingspiteiof-all opposition."' Under such a
law both “bosses” and primaries would in
a very short time lose their present dom-
,inancejn‘ourpolitics.
“I’ll 'fdct, 'Ihel'e is scarcely a form of
iniquity known-t0 our election methods
1-which ag'ood ballot law Would not cradl-
cate.’ We should be rid at one stroke of
the assessments upon candidates, of the
bribing and bulldozing of voters, of the
nomination ofnotoriously unlit candi 'ates,
of “deals" and “dickers” and "trades" at
the polls. All these would disappear. for
the simple reason that the machinery of:
elections would be taken out of the hands
of the whands 1pf, it”? gsible

everyone is ready to concede. From New

improvements have sheen made.“ From
the inception of tlic worklhe Engineer
and managers of the work seem to have
had an eye single to the improvement of
the approaches to depots, or the crossings
where depressions have been made. At
'New Rochelle, Larchmont and Mamaro—
ncek depots have been or are building,
which are and will be a credit to the re-
spective Towns. ‘ * * With the vast im-
provements made, and the chances for
accidents which have been remo'Vé‘d, there
is another feature which has come with
the roads’ improvements which cannot be
overlooked: We refer to the new signals,
or block stations which has beeneatah—
