The Clifton clarion., 1886-01-20

A system of automatic brakes has been patented in England in which the weight of the cars set the brakes. When 1t is required to move the train this weight is lifted from the brake blocks by hydraulic or other power, set of pistons being attached to each car. It is claimed that with this system the breaking or retarding force is exactly proportioned to the mo- mentum weight of the car, as an empty car will exert less force upon the brake blocks than a loaded one. An automatic regula- tor is also a part of the system by which the braking force is con trolled to prevent ''skidding" or sliding.

WASHINGTON, APRIL IA, 1sc
APRIL FOURTEENTH.

1t is twenty. one years tonight since
the assassin's bullet laid low the head
of Abraham Lincoln. The return of
the sad anniversary brings with 1t rec
objections of the jubilee Of peace which
followed the surrender of Lee, only to
be changed to an unparalleled horror
in the tragedy Of Lincoln's death.
Happily the healing processes of time
have made such progress that the new
generation grown up around us see
little to make them realize the dangers
which environed our country in those
days. But the memory of Abraham
Lincoln is treasure that will be priced
by oil while the nation he did 50 much
TO save shall endure.

Calling Halt on the Land-Grabbers.
EDITOR Critic: The peoples represen
tatives in the House appear to have aroused
to the duty of restoring to the public do
main some millions Of land granted to the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company in aid
of building their road and remaining un-
earned. This is but single step in the
right direction, which promises well for
more of the same kind. Now let us see If
the United States Senate is for the people
or for the delinquent railroads. The opin-
ion prevails, whether true or not, that ma
jority OF the Senators are representatives of
the big corporations. The time has arrived
when the truth or falsity of this will be
tested. hope THE CRITIC wilsbe faithful
seutinel and that it will speak out on this
as 1t has done on other questions.

SAYS Washington correspondent
of the Troy Times;
By lucky accident the Library bill
passed this week, and, curiously enough,
upon the very day that half dozen wealthy
citizens Of the District had met aud agreed
that II W. S. Holman OF Indiana should not
withdraw from his attitude OF objection and
hostility to the bill they would put $500
in his district this fall to defeat his cleo
tion.
For the accuracy of the above ex-
traordinary statement THE CRITIC
leaves its readers to judge for them
selves but we will venture to say that
there is a typographicar error in the
figures mentioned If any sum Of
money was ever raised for the purpose
and in the manner indicated it certainly
did not exceed $3.50, or $500 at the
