Every year has shown progress in per-
fecting the comforts and safety Of the
railway car. In 1S49 the Hodge hand
brake was introduced, and In 1851 the
Stevens brake These enabled the cars
to be controlled in manner which added
much to the economy and safety in hand
ling the trains. In 1869 George Westine-
house patented his air brake, by which
power from the engine was transmitted
by compressed air carried through hose
and acting upon the brakes of each car
IN the train. 1t was under the control of
the engineer, and its action was 50 prompt
and its power so effectual that train
could be stopped In an incredibly short
time, and the brakes released In an in
stant In 1871 the vacuum brake was de-
vised, by means of which the power was
applied to the brakes by exhausting the
difficulty under which railways suf-
fered for many years was the method of
coupling cars. The ordinary means con-
sisted of coupling pins inserted into links
attached TO the cars, There was great
deal of slack, " the jerking of the train
in consequence was very Objectionable,
and the distance between the platforms
of the cars made the crossing of them
dangerous. In collisions one platform
was likely to rise above that Of the ad-
joining car, and "telescoping' was not an
uncommon occurrence.
The means of warning, passengers
against standing on the platforms were
characteristic of the dangers which
threatened, and were often ingenious in
the devices for attracting attention, On a

Mountain Climbing for Invalids.

Oertel has extended his advocacy Of
mountain climbing, as curative agency,
to other forms of heart disease besides
such as are dependent upon or associated
with orpulency-namely, to all forms of
weak heart" and also to valvular de-
fects. For this purpose he prefers re-
sorts surrounded by mountains, on the
sides of which graduated walks, of in
creasing difficulty, and extending up to
between three thousand and four thou
sand feet can be mapped out. at Is by
no means matter of indifference how
you walk up these ascents. 1t is to be
done in strictly prescribed manner.
The hills are to be assembled slowly, and
the pace must be as even as possible, with
no talking and no Interruptions This
may not be attainable at first, but 1t is

may lean on stick, but he must not

quiring great patience; 1t should last from
four to six weeks, and it may have to be

Philologists have long observed that
many words popularly known as Amer
icanisms" are really good old Eng
ish terms brought over by the Pilgrim
Fathers, the early settlers on the James,
etc, and retained here when forgotten in
the country of their birth. Similarly,
not few Dutch words-boss, Doodle, etc.
brought over by the early settlers Of
New Amsterdam, have spread from their
original American habitat, till they have
become part of our speech 1t is not less
interesting to note that certain customs.
forgotten in their home land, but re-
tained here, and, therefore, characterized
as American" are really importations
from Europe.
Not one Of these customs has been re-
garded as more distinctively Yankee"
than the venerable one of ''tarring and
feathering," and yet we learn from the
"Annales Rerum Anglicarum" of the ven
erpble English historian Hoveden diving
in the Thirteenth century and court chap
lain to Henry lid that the custom Is at
least as old as the time of Richard the
Lion Hearted He tells that Richard, on
setting out on the third crusade, made
sundry enactments for the regulation of
his fleet, one of which was that "a robber
who shall be convicted of theft shall have
his head cropped after the fashion of a
champion, and boiling pitch shall be
poured thereon, and the feathers of a
cushion shall be shaken out on him, so
that he may be known, and at the first
land at which the ship shall touch he
shall be set on shore" Whether the
custom was earlier than this we have no
means Of determining. 1t is at least close
on to 700 years old.-American Notes and

Keep u Up.

Having charged upon the Democratic
administration the responsibility for tho
yellow fever in Florida, 1t is quite in
order for The Tribune to seek to fix upon
the same party the odium of the advance
in the price of wheat and the closing of
sugar refneries by the trust.
The process is very simple-for an or
gan. The administration has released, in
the only way sanctioned by law, portion
of the money locked up as idle surplus.
Tho money has stimulated speculation.
Speculation advanced the price of wheat.
Ergo, the administration is to blame.
But If the money had been left locked
up there would have been O panic, pros
trating all business. And that, proba-
bly,, would have suited the organs even
better.
The sugar refneries are enabled to con-
troll their market by reason Of duty
voted and maintained by Republicans, and
by trust which Mr.. Blaine says is "a
private affair with which neither the
president nor any private citizen has any
particular call to interfere" The Demo-
Gratis propose to reduce the duty 20 per
cent. and to forbid trusts. And yet be-
cause some of the refners are Democrats
The Tribune holds that party responsible
for the shut down.
Keep it up. There are four weeks more
in which to disgust voters with such
partisan rot.-New York World.

So, after all, Blaine is to make only two
speeches in Indiana. The hippodrome
company gets off cheap. It dared not
muzzle the mastiff altogether, so 1t pro-
poses to let him bark twice and then get
him out of tho states internal politics as
speedily as possible.
career calmly and dispassionately he will
see magnificent probabilities wrecked upon
childish misadventures. There was one
such in Indiana. Claiming to have been
infamously libeled by The Indianapolis
Sentinel, he sued it for exemplary dam
ages. Issue was scarcely Joined before he
withdrew the suit, setting up the plea as a
justification that twelve men honest
enough to pass In judgment on the merits
of the controversy could not be found in all
the commonwealth. Of course there were
indignant protests and denials. The
Democrats spread the poison of this insult
wherever it could be made to do harm,
and the Republicans, too envenomed be-
cause of 1t to be politic, writhed up against
the blow and struck back. They said
multitude Of harsh and bitter things
against him then, and they have not
qualified a single one of them since. They
may turn out to greet him with seeming
enthusiasm, but there Is no state In the
Union where he would be less welcome,
and as little capable of making an impress
sion upon the masses. The only wonder
is that Blaine himself would take so many
chances of reopening an old wound and
making it bleed afresh If not mortally.-

LETTER oE MORTON.
Ingalls, 'FeiIow Like Phelps to Raise
Money"

Ingalls, "Feiiow Like Phelps TO Raise
Money"
The letter Of Mr.. Levi P. Morton. ac-
cepting the Republican nomination for
the vice presidency, appears In this morn
ings CouIier-Journal.
1t will be read with curiosity by both
Democrats and Republicans, for there is,
perhaps, no man whose name Is known at
oil In political circles concerning whose
views there Is such absolute Ignorance.
The truth is that Mr.. Morton Is man
who has never been thought of us holding
positive opinions of his own. Morton's
name in politics has been simply synony-
mous5 with money. If he had not had
money and had not been willing to spend
1t TO buy claims on the consideration of
his party he would never have been heard
of in public life.
His letter, however, will not enlighten
the curious. He merely points to that re-
markable hotch potch, the Republican
platform, and says in effect, "Them's my
sentiments" although he does not say it
In such pointed and plain words. II would
have been better II he had contented him
self with such a declaration, for In at
tempting to say something more he perpe-
trates an amateurish essay on the tariff
issue which is a weak string of platitudes
that have been better said thousand
times before
Mr.. Morton, in writing his letter, has
lost his opportunity to show to the cpun-
try that 1t is mistaken in its conviction
that his money was his only merit to sin
gle him out from several million other
Republicans as man marked for vice
presidential honors. Courier

The returns from the Connecticut town
elections, on Monday of this week, have
not yet been received with sufficient full
ness to justify any precise statement as
to their Significance 1t Is, however, suf-
ficiently clear already that the Democrats
have more than held their own in the man
ufacturing towns and that the Prohibi-
tion vote Is stronger than ever.
As the only hope Of being able to carry
the state for their presidential ticket
sprang from the belief that the tariff issue
would demoralize the Democratic vote in
the manufacturing towns, 1t is clear that
the results thus far recorded must tend
to depress the Republican managers. 1t
may, of course, be said, and, in fact, is
already said, that the town elections are
affected by strictly local influences, which
will not operate in November While
this is true, 1t is also true that
strictly partisan influences count for
good deal, and make them
selves visible in the general tendency
of the towns. When we find the Demo-
Gratis stronger than ever in Hartford, and
able to wrest such towns us Mcriden,
Branford, East Haven, Cheshire, Milford
and Wallingford from their adversaries,
1t seems safe to conclude that there is q
marked public disposition to support the
Democratic cause. AS the matter stands
we should say that the returns before us
warrant the expectation that the Demo-
Gratis will carry Connecticut by plu-
rality of not less than 4, ,000.-Brooklyn

even one instance, during his six years
service In the United States senate, Harri-

amendment to admit skilled Chinese labor
to this country. See Congressional

large proportion of them are prosperous

with land to work and keeps them in food

what does it avail them? They are there

survive It, but in most cases it means
death. When those who get well are
