THE PHILADELPHIA TINES, 1884
TIE ZINES Will enter upon the new year
stronger ana more prosperous than ever be
fore in its histOry-mOrC widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended. and more
tiercely criticized, with a more complete or
ganizatlon, and an able SsOf of contributors
and with the same independence and fearless
ness that has made it successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow. no candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue as
it has ever done, with consistent devotion to
the right, TO honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
will aim to bc continually in the advance in all
that can add value TO a newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care the
conciScncSs and freshness with which it is
edited. THE TIMES spends laViShly for news
from all parts Of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed, in
order 70 give the complete news of the day III
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
it a large variety OF entertaining and instruc-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich its columns.
and TO make it "A journal adapted both TO the
busy man and TO the leisure of the home cir

THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day OF those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
of rural population. have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper uilSttiSl y ing IHose
that cling TO their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our forward moving people: they
are but shadows of their former greatness. and
they have but Il shadow of their former power.
Those papers have had their usefulness, but it
is gone: and, with il, they are going, too. 1t
was not the fault Of the papers: II was the inn
prOveInent of the country that brought q bOut
the change Men and women. wherever they
live, now require fresher news; and they re-
qure more than news
THE WEEKLY TINES gathers off the types OF
every passing week whatever has lasting in
terest to the people al large, and sets it before
them in such generosity Of paper and print as
would have aStOnishcd us all twenty yeors ago
DAILY-Twelye cents a week fifty cents a

To Keep Railroad Cars Cool.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Pail Mall Gazette.
The French railway authorities are at
present engaged in a series of expert
ments from which, perhaps, our own di-
rectors might take some hints With
hot weather coming on, or at least in the
ordinary course of nature expected, the
problem is how to Keep the railway car
riages cool In France travellers are
packed very tight, and most trains go
very slowly. and the authorities have to
arrange to deliver their human cargoes at
distant termim with vitality not quite
extinct. So they are now exercised in
seeking how to cool their carriages.
They have gone as far as India for sug-
gestions, and the favorite experiment is
with a kind of punkah, A long cylinder
runs the length of the roof of the car
riage, furnished with fans. set in motion
by revolving the cylinder. After many
systems tried. this seems the most prac-
ticable and the only point in dispute is
how to get the motive force. The sur
plus steam of the engine has been tried
on one line. and ON another a little ar
rangement like a Windmill attached to
each carriage, the motion of the train
causing the wing to revolve, while the
occupants of each carriage can regulate
or arrest the stream of air. Both systems
are being tested, and our companies need
only take the benefit of these expert
ments and adopt the most successful OF
the least costly.

POSITION OF THE DEMOCRACY.

POSITION OF THE DEMOCRACY.
There seems to be a strange reluc
lance on the part of the Democratic
press and also among the leaders of
the party to speak plainly for or
AGAINST Constitutional Convention.
The material inperfections of the
constitution Of 1868 are admitted by
all, but this hesitation must be as
/ cribed to other causes than those
which appear upon the record. For
| the Democrats in the Legislature of
1888, on January 18th, were so i'm
pressed with the need Of revision
of our organic law, that Senate bill
No. 10, providing for what is known
as the E'the shortcut convention"
passed the Senate by large major
ity. In fact only three Democratic
senators voted againstit, viz: Messrs.
