developed by the "Keely Motor" machine is car
bonic acid gas. This may be. The letter of
the person suggesting II looks reasonable Good
mechanics aud students Of mechanical philoso-
ply agree that the stories told OF the "Motor"
are somewhere deficient. No such force is gem
Grated in nature without the disturbance of the
elements that make it up. Inertia is the estab.
lished rule, and whom We evolve steam or the
electric current by the consumption Of snch fuel
NJ is requisite to produce those forces we SIM
ply disturb the old arrangement Of their ele-
ments, and by combustion establish new one.
You cannot produce tremendous force out OF
nothing, or without process corresponding to
the burning Of fuel, any more than you can
make perpetual motion, or lift yourself
by your boot-strsps. Keely may have
discovered some cheap and easy
process OF generating some gas-carbonic acid,
for instance-and ho may add some new one to
the mechanical methods already known, but II is
very unreasonable to suppose that he can have
made 30 wonderful an invention as it is pretend.
cd he has-one which would revolutionze all
existing machinery, and create = disturbance in
industrial operations to which q South American
earthquake would be feeble comparison. Too
many watchful eyes are fixed on the manifesto
tons Of nature for any one man to find 80 much.
Vice President Wilson's letter, stating his own
position in relation to national politics, and the
Republican party, is Of such interest that We
print it in full, notwithstanding the demands it
makes on our space. No man is more entitled
to respectful hearing from the Republican mass
es than Henry Wilson, and very few, in our
Judgment, contemplate the situation with q
more statesmanlike yision. To denounce and
riticule him, as one or two folly-ridden critics
have done, for stating past Republican errors
and pointing out the road to future Republican
success, is 30 grossly unwise proceeding that
it has merited, Is it has received, the general
disapprovsl OF Republican newspapers. or the
old Republican leaders Henry Wilson almost
alone remains-Lincoln, Chase, Seward, Gree
Icy, Sumner, Gerrit Smith, and many more, are
gone. To the words Of counsel uttered by 30
true and wise friend Of our principles as he
wo must ever listen with respect
II was simple act Of justice TO this city that

tickets from the various stations along the line
of the Delaware i. II. to it as vol ~ to Phlla-
delpl'ia. The same facilities should at all times

not that there is any competition between the
two, but because many people prefer to asso-
ciate socially and in business with their own
friends. Moreover. it seems to us that the Rail-
road company was unjust to itself in the matter

means, it is simply preventing that growth at
