Reducing vibration In Railway Cars

A new invention embodies q princi-
pie which will commend itself to all
railway travellers. 1t is sought to les
sen the discomfort and annoyance of
travel on many lines on which there is
excessive vibration by the construction
of a Pneumatic car (which embraces
the application of an elastic fluid as an
absorbent for vibration and oscilla-
ton" An air cushion is arranged on
the cellular principle between the car
body and the truck frame, and as there
is an equal distribution of air under
varying pressures all oscillation is pre-
vented. This elastic medium is said to
completely absorb all vibration result
ing from rough tracks, jointing Of rails,
excessive speed or any other cause, and
the car is carried smoothly and steadily
along. This pneumatic system can be

distances are not hard to find in which it
unquestionably should be. -Exchange.

In the afternoon Rev. Il. j. Ranslow of
Swanton made the first address. He APP
proved the course of the farmers in organ
izing. They are being compelled to organ
ize. IL is absurd to say that legislation can
help the manufacturer but not the farmer.
Although the farmers are in the majority
they do not get the legislation they want.
Two or three men make most of the laws, and
these two or three men are not members OF
the legislature. Shrewd Jobs are constantly
being put up on the farmers. The way for
farmers to get what they want is to exact
pledges from candidates for Office and then
follow them up after the election
Professor j. X. Dodge of the department
OF agriculture spoke on the work OF the de-
partment and gave some of the causes Of
the present depression in agriculture.
These are unrestricted immigration, UNI
wise extension of railway systems, all
kinds of speculation by which men seek TO
gain a living by their wits rather than by
their hands, and the middle-man. Pro-
lessor Dodge thought that much could be
gained 10y legislation.

TO those adopted at Montpelier last fall,

ton of a third party. ~ That we call upon

Of our efforts (5) That we demand econ
omy Of expense in the administration of

we solicit the friendly cooperation of all

In addition to this the superior favor sweetness

burlington boycotted Stanley because, for
sooth, he went there under the auspices OF
