THr New YORK Central bossts a c

THE New York Central boasts a car
that is a novel specimen of labor saving
machine. Inside it is some clock like
mechanism which, as the car goes over
the track, records every defect in the
rails. Ii these have spread the thirty
second part Of so inch beyond the stand
ard width. or there is loose joint or de-
fective connection, the machine notes it
al down, as well as he distance from one
place TO another. Formerly this work
was done By an army of trsck-wslkers.
1t is proposed TO develop the invention
and combine the defective mechanism of
the car with an ordinary coach so that
mechanical examinations Of the tracks
can be made by the regular trains.

Iowa TO Remain Democratic

Col. Clarkson is endesvoring to stimu.

the prohibition party is opposed to slim
ulants, and the Wilson law now being
operative even Clsrkson's original pack
ages of fiery sdjurstion to the rollicking
youth Of the state cannot illicitly be de-
livered. Thus remarks q conservative
exchange, and continues: The colonel
whistles down the wind. SO long as the
republicans of Iowa by protesting pro.
found sympathy with fsnsticism could
use the prohibition sentiment of the state,
for its own purposes il was safe. but the
prohibitionists have discovered that their
allies are but wolves in sleeps clothing,
and they have forbidden them use Of
their pasture. The state ticket nomins-
ted by the prohibitionists is distinctly q
prohibition ticket. 1t refuses further sf-
fliAtion with republicans or republican
ism. Win or lose it will make its own
battle. The outlook for republicanism
in Iowa is decidedly gloomy. What. be-
tween the farmers alliance and the pro-
hibitionists, party that has been false
to both the farmer and the prohibition
lists, that has carried water on both shoul-
ders, that has been dominated by a
lot of self-seeking, tricky politicians, that
has upheld fsnaticism where fansticism
was popular and denounced it where 1t
was in contempt, that has told the agrl-
culturist that the manufacturer had much
the best of him with the assistance of
government and then voted with govern
ment to add to the agriculturist's bur-
dens-such party, now the scorn of its
former allies, is on its last legs. Un-
happily for Co.. Clarkson's idea that it
can be saved by young men, this class is,
with the courage, and generosity, and
high mindedness Of youth, bent on its de-
struction.
The democracy Of Iowa is the party of
the people. 1t is against prohibition, in
original package or otherwise, because it
is for personal liberty. II is against pro-
tective tariff because it is against pster-
nalism, favoritism for class. It is
against fanaticism, and sbsurdity, and
high taxation because it is the party of
the average, hard common sense of Iowa,
as of every state in the union. II was
successful in Iowa two years ago. 1t
will be successful again, this time in the
assembly as in the executive office.

bent into such curves that the light rays
diverging from the lamp fame are re-

the diverging rays parallel and throws

1t is clothed with skin and hairy coat
very different from that on the rest Of the

property unknown in other animal bodies
that of being a stypic to stanch its own
blood when wounded. 1t carries marks of
the age on the buck by putting out an ex-
ira branch each year, which shows an ad-
ditional power each year TO produce them:

so this difference is more distinctly marked
