A REPUBLICAN GERRYMANDER Isl.
POSSIBLE

POSSIBLE.
Those Republicans VINO are foadly
dreaming of a gerrymander OF the Sena-
torial and Delegate districts Of the
State for exclusively partisan purposes
will be- interested in the fact that the
thing is impossible. No general rear
rangemeut Of the State for members of
the Legislature can be made until
after the next Federal census is taken,
although there is a provision by which
the Legislature may submit pro-
jaCted change In the Senatorial dis
tricts 10 other than a census year to a
vote Of the people, who must assent to
it by a majority vote at a general
election before the Legislature can act.
This will come as a shock to a num-
Der Of Republicans, who have been
prematurely rearranging the map Of the
State so as to make it possible TO ree-
gate the Democrats to permanent
minority position 10 the Legislature, but
they must endeavor TO live down their
disappointment, and meanwhile we
shall select our Senators and delegates
upon the old basis.
The Republicans can and doubtless
will Rerrymander the State for Con-
gressional purposes, but there their

A FORT on WHEELS.
The Armored Railway Train he Lat
est Invention for Warfare.

The Armored Railway Train he Lat
est Invention for Warfare.
Movable coast defenses in the form
of an armored railway train, were the
subject Of recent experiments on a
branch line of the London, Brighton &
South Coast railway, in England. The
train consisted of an ordinary locomo-
tive, two cars for the men and a spe-
cially constructed car with a turn
table pivooed on the center of its
truck, upon which a 40-pound gun and
gun carriage were mounted. The turn
table was protected upon three sides
by steel plating six feet high, and the
gun was fired through an aperture in
the plating. Various devices for in
suring the stability of the train against
the recoil of the gun were abandoned
as unnecessary. Eleven rounds were
fired seward, and in no case did the
recoil produce any disturbance of the
car upon which the gun was mounted.
/ Neither was any strain ON the track
perceptible.
! While the gun is in action the extra
cars and the engine will remain pro-
tected and concealed in a, cutting, the
armored car and gun being drawn out
of action by means of a steel hawser.
\ There is no limit to the thickness of
the protective armor around the gun,
excepting The capacity of the engine to
Draw the weight. In5sa1 whole battery
could be mounted in the manner de
scTibed, thus constituting a veritable
fort On wheels. There are. of course,
drawbacks to the plan. The enemy
might effect landing and DESTROY the
track: but the utility of the idea under
! certain circumstances cannot be doubt
! ed. The experiment conveys a practi-
cal suggestion that should not be lost
sight of by cur engineers and ordnance
officers.-Philadelph Record
