"A device to radically change the
present method of ventilating cars, both
horse and steam, has recently been in
vented. Its operation is to furnish q
constant amount of fresh air and with
drawal of a similar amount of vitiated

of the cars at the upper corners or in
the mon tor tors with covering on all
sides, hav ng the appearance of a large
tube or pipe open at the ends and also
opening into the cars, with partition
in the enter. Thus the air in the first

The twoe 1T national conventions
to be held at Chicago within ths Ae1t
few weeks, art in all probability des-
tined to exert N influence, III but
decisive Gu the approaching president
il, election. The political dtuatioa
is, III some respectA peculiar. The
Republican marty has been In power for
nearly twenty five years. To be for 90
long period in the ascendency with
an opposition party that had any
settled policy or vigorous life would
lead many to look for indications Of a
reverse. But on the contrary, the
Republicans were never more hopeful
nor the Democrats more doubtful OF
depressed on the eve Of an organised
political conflict. In all probability
the conclusion Of the Democratic con.
vention will practically decide the
issue, leaving the Republican party an
easy task to win. The Democratic
party has two very great difficulties in
this campaign, the lack Of settled poll.
cy and of strong candidate. On civil
service reform, on the tariff and finaa.
cial questions, the party is hopelessly
divided. Should the party declare for
protection, its largest wing would stul.
tify its record. Should it pronounce
for free trade it would certainly loose
New York ane New jersey.
Its lack of an influential candidate of
tried record is itsother chief difficulty.
rilden is indeed popular man with
the party, but his strength now con.
sists only in his name. An aged. help
less invalid. all the galvanic batteries
the party could bring to bear, would
fail to restore to him the semblance of
vigorous manhood. The fact that the
party clings so persistently, affection.
stely yet so desperately to its idol
shows it's destitute condition in respect
of available, presidential candidates.
Under these circumstances we think
it would be policy for the Democrats
when they meet at Chicago to pass a
resolution to make the election of the
Republican candidate unanimous and
ave the country the immense trouble
md outlay that would attend a hard
fought presidential campaign.
