AN AUTOMATIC RAILROAD
COUPLER.

The question of uniform device for
the automatic coupling of freight cars
on all the railways of the country has
been before the country for long time
without eliciting from the railroad man
agements any manifest disposition to
adopt the plan and carry it into practical
operation. This seeming unconcern on
the part of the railroad people has not
been, they aver, because of lack of in
terest in the safety of employees, nor yet
for lack of such appliances. The fact is,
the multiplicity of automatic couplers Is
alleged as one of the principal reasons
why the roads have not adopted a uni
form system, different roads favoring diff
ferent devices, all different and all COW
cred by letters patent For local traffic
this diversity of appliances on different
roads would make no difference, but for
through business, requiring the transfer
of cars from one road or system to
another a uniform device is essential,
and for this reason, mainly, the railroads
of the country have not come to adopt
any coupling device other than the old
link and pin.
1t is announced from Washington City
that the recommendation made by the
president in his message to congress in
regard to this important matter will be
given practical form, in the shape of a
law that will enable the railroads to
agree and adopt, not only a uniform
system of automatic coupling, but also
the application of air brakes to all
freight cars used in intestate traffic
Senator Cullom is heading a movement
which will endeavor to put this sugges-
ton into law. This is no more than
right. There is but little doubt that a
large per cent of accidents which hap
pen to railroad employees is the result of
irregular, faulty and awkward car coup
ling devices and defective brakes. Rail
road men form IL per cent of the num-
Der of employees in the country, and So
per cent of the casualties are sustained
by them. This being the case it becomes
a public duty to remove the causes of
such conditions when they are known.
AS before stated, President Harrison is
the first chief executive of the nation
who has felt special interest in the well
fare of the large class of our industrial
population known as railroad operatives,
and in doing SO he has shown himself a
broad, rational man; president who
sees beyond the pot-house politicians
scope, an executive for all of the people,
and for every interest of all the people.

A NEW MOTOR,

Although several agencies are being
employed in the propulsion of street
cars the problem of the best motor for
that service has not yet come anywhere
near satisfactory solution. The mule
and the horse are out of date. and out of
use, for the matter of that, in every city
of any dimension on the planet, with
the one exception of New Orleans,
where, according to the Times-Demo-
Gratis admission, love of the antique
is one of the dominant passions. The
cable system is an improvement on the
live quadruped, but the cable system
is liable to continual interruptions from
breakages, that are attended in many
cases with diplorable accidents. The
electric storage system has been tried
in various cities Of the United States:
but as far as we have heard, it has
not passed beyond the experimental
stage by reason of the enormous
expense implied in its use. Clean aud
safe and reliable as it is, it will never be
generally introduced, for the best of all
business reaSons-that, in its present
shape at least, it cannot be made to paw.
The overhead electric system is perhaps
more generally used than any of its
competitors, but it is not by long odds
the beau ideal of means of light and
easy transportation through crowded
cities.
y new system is just now being tested
IN South Chicago, the inventor of which
is p. J. McMahon of New Orleans. II is
called the Standard Fireless engine. and
it is claimed for the engine or machine
that it is not only fireless, as its name
implies, but that it is steamless and
noiseless as well; and it is capable of
doing the work of steam engines, of
cable cars or OF electric cars.
The Daily Calumet of Chicago. Of date
December 10. says of the invention.
The machine viii undoubtedly revo-
luuonize the present mode of propelling
street cars. Having ridden on the car
and seen the machine at work. we must
pronounce il decided success and ex-
press our belief that 1t Is the coming
motive power for street car lines. The
ordinary atmosphere Is fuel sufficient,
and ammonia Is the substance for evolv-
ing the power owing To It's affinity for
water. The fuel consumed in the run

COOKERY REFORM,
4 the PHILADELPHIA Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The canning and jarring of foods of
almost all descriptions as exemplited III
and diversified at the recent pure food
exhibition in this city, may be said to
have revolutionized the grocery trade
within the last couple of decades. SINH
larry, too, it has revolutionized house
keeping, helping its comforts and econo-
mics, and doing much to simplify the
problems of cookery. 1t is interesting to
note that similar Transformation has
taken place in England, as even the
English Christmas dinner, which of all
functions in the culinary line is most
sacred to tradition and to medieval lore,
is now shaping itself to modern pro-
cesses. Thus, one of the London jour
mails, in speaking of the trouble which
such dinner entails, suggests that "the
desirable end to be obtained would be
better carried out by judicious pur-
chase of plum-puddings and mince-meat
in jars, for these are always goo and
reliable-and the modern British cook is
neither the one nor the other.
There is a quaint quality of British
bluntness about this suggestion which
adds force to what is doubtless the truth.
1t is questionable, indeed, whether
modern cookery on either side of the
ocean has kept pace in its results with
the appliances that have been devised to
give it whas the theologians call iner-
rancy. 1t is still too largely conducted
by the rule of thumb. Almost all the
human arts and forms of handlcraft
have kept in line with the advance of
civilization; yet cookery, which should
rank among the highest and most useful
of all accomplishments, still clings
closely to primitive formulas and
methods. Food shows have been of
great value in helping to correct this
tendency; but there is need of a constant
and active campaign of educatiod in
other directions III behalf of cookery re-
form, and such a campaign, wherever
pressed, would be sure to yield most
beneficial effects to the whole COM
munity.

TO BEAT THE FARMER.

PROFESSIONALLY the plans and schemes
devised and set on foot politically by the
leaders of the so-called Peoples party
have all looked to squeezing money out
of the farmer for the sole and direct ben
eft of said leaders. The latest is grand
Alliance Mortgage company on the SEQ
operative plan," whatever that may
mean. Of this new organization, which
has taken out charter under the state
laws, the Emporia Republican says:
This association, to put it bluntly, is
nothing more nor less than confidence
game, of which the farmer is to become
the victim. The humbug of the thing is
apparent upon its face.
1t is very plain that MessrS. McGrath &
Co. have simply arranged scheme to
set themselves up in business at the ex-
pense of the local loan agents scattered
about through the state. The farmer
who patronizes the association will pay
his commission same as before, only the
association being a monopoly he is likely
to pay an increased amount; monopoly
prices are never cheap. 1t is becoming
more and more apparent as the months
roll by that the Alliance leaders are de-
termined upon feathering their own
nests. Their various schemes are Osten-
sibly in the interest of the farmer, but
all the benefit accrueS to the leaders
while the farmer pays the bill.

PLUMB AND THE FARMER.

A dispatch from Washington says that
Senator Plumb had introduced more bills
than any other member of the senate.
The most important of these was the l.
yer coinage measure, which he advo-
Gated last year, and which he proposed
to push with all his might this winter
He said on the last day he was in Wash
ington that he was confident the meas
ure would be successful. He had intro
duced about fifty special pension bills,
and having recently succeeded Senator
ingalls, on the District of Columbia com
mittee, he had introduced a number of
bills of interest only TO the district. He
was working upon two or three bills
which were of special interest to the far
mers Of the west, and said few days
ago that, while he had always devoted a
great part of his time in furthering legis
lation which especially interested the
farmers, he intended to devote his time
more closely to that branch of lesisla
ton than ever before.

legislature He met Governor Perryman,
who, he says, is not an Indian but big,
burly negro, and during general CONVEX
satlon asked him if the Creeks Intended to
send delegates to the statehood convention
at Oklahoma City. The governor assumed
an attitude of immense dignity and re-
piled: Sir, that is an international ques-
ton. Before the Greeks would dare send
delegates to the statehood convention an
international convention of authorized
delegates from the five tribes would have
to decide upon the ACCESSIBILITY of such
action. Then the governor would have to
proclaim an election for the selection of
delegates"

The policy of profit sharing has been
adopted by few industrial concerns in
different parts of the country within the
past few years, and as far as has been
given to the public of results it has
proved successful and satisfactory. The
plan is now for the first time TO be tried
by a railroad corporation, the St. Louis
and Cairo Short Line. As n stroke of
policy only, even based upon a schedule
that would afford the employees but little
additional compensation, it would seem
to be the wise thing for all corporations

FAR YVES TERN KANSAS.

From tie Topeka Lance.
There was time when it was thought
that Western Kansas was somewhat of a
milestone about the neck of the state,
and held her down SO much that rapid
progress was impossible. Just now,
though, the western half of Kansas is
being smiled upon by Providence and is
blossomng like a rose. This year it
furnished the banner wheat district, pro-
ducing the largest yield in the west,
and furnishing the world very con-
siderable part of its bread stuff. Just
now, having had more rain than any
other part of the state, it is in better
condition than any other portion of
Kansas, and has the brightest kind of
prospects for repeating. next year. the
extraordinary crop of wheat of this sum-
mer. The eastern half of the state has
not received its just share of rain fall,
up to this time, but is in fairly good
condition, and promises to produce an
average crop. Kansas looks forward to
another great crop year for 1892, and
if she is not disappointed diamond
merchants will find a good market in
the state.

If the present misunderstanding be-
tween France and Bulgaria shall lead to
clash of arms in Europe it will only
show that the general condition of the
continent is such as to demand some
blood letting and only a trihing pretext
was needed to precipitate the issue, and
inasmuch as all the powers will almost
certainly become involved in case of war
between any two it is shown at once that
the peace of the continent has been con-
strained for many months, notwith-
standing the oft repeated asseverations
of friendliness between the heads. War
in Europe at this time would not be of
long duration, probably, but it would be
terribly disastrous in its results. And it
seems almost inevitable.
