Reducing Vibration In Railway Cars.

AL SoAB
A new invention embodies a 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-
tion." 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
equally well applied to street cars, and
instances are not hard to find in which, it
unquestionably should be.-Exchange.

Some intelligent young people who
follow the proceedings of congress doubt
less wonder what is meant by the Bland
seignioriage bill. Persons desiring to
sell silver to the United States or to get
it coined into dollars for themselves take
it to the treasury department or to the
mint in the form of bullion, which is
bars Of pure silver. Pure silver is too
soft to wear in dollars. The standard
American silver dollar contains alto
gether 412i grains of metal. Of this, 3711
grains are pure silver. The rest, or one-
tenth of the whole weight, is alloy, chiefly
copper. This leaves on the hands of the
government in pure silver the one-tenth
pure silver that it took from the weight of
every dollar to add the necessary alloy.
The government keeps this for its own
to defray the expense of the coinage. 1t
is called the governments seigniorage.
There is now in the treasury vaults some
$50, 1000, 900 worth of seigniorage that has
been left over from the coinage Of the
many silver dollars since the resumption
of silver coinage in 1878. This is what
Mr.. Bland wants made into dollars and
put into circulation.

The trial aud sentencing to sig years
in Sing Sing p~enitentiary Of John Y. Nc
Kane shows that it is still possible in
this republic TO punish men who try to
corrupt the ballot and defeat honest
elections. This one trial and sentence
will make it easier to have pure elections
in all the rest of the country-easier to
arrest II convict Other ballot corrupt
ers. The will Of the honest people Of
this country ever comes uppermost at
last. 1t WAS Lincoln who said that you
canno fool all the people all the time.
McKane was the political boss Of
Gravesend, a suburban township Of
Brooklyn that includes Coney Island, the
seaside resort. He was known as the
boss of Coney Island. At the election
last fall 5000 votes were cast il u popu-
lation of 1000. This illustrates the meth
dds of the boss. He was influential and
very rich. Besides being a political boss,
he Was a Sunday school superintendent.
He let nothing go by.
SitCehPA hlopCtbOib vi DObtl DdIblGe
were under his thumb. He bought, ca
joled and threatened. Early on election
day it was seen by some Of his political
opponents that the election inspectors
their party had placed at the polls were
not doing their duty. Tickets were said
to be written ont boldly and thrust into
the ballot box with no voter attached.
The opposing party appointed other in
spect0rs who could be trusted. The
boss would not let them see the registry
lists in tie six Gravesend voting dis
tricts. Then they got out an Injunction
from a Brooklyn judge restraining him
from meddiius with the inspectors. He
brushed it aside rs he would a fly. "In-
functions don't go here" he said.
Bnt the man who had frequently boast
ed. II fear no living thing" had gone
one step too far at last. The ~wrongdoer
always does 20 just a little too far at
last. The boss own party repudiated his
methods.
He vas arrested. Six indictments
were found against him. One of these
was for contempt Of court in refusing to
obey the Judges injunction. Another
was for the still graver offense of con-
spiracy to defeat the election laws. In
one Of the precincts that had in 1892 a
total population of 1908 there were reg
istered 2.645 voters. Thus bold had the
boss grown. For half a dozen years
nine-tenths of all the votes of Graves
end, Republican and Democratic, were
cast l.ist as the boss wanted them to be.
But hat was not enough. The next step
was repeating and manufacturing votes.
Judge Bartlett, a man belonging to his
W political party, was the individual
who sentenced the fallen boss. 1t was a
dramatic scene. that sentencing. All the
boss bravado was gone. The man who
feared nc living thing stood, white faced
and trembling, at last before the avs of
his country that provide for a pure bal
lot and righteous elections. Judge Bart
lett declared that the sentence of six
years in stripes in the penitentiary was
justice tempered with mercy. The boss
found out that injunctions do go, even
in Gravesend. The moral effect of this
Judgment will extend all over the United
States and give Us a better name in Eu-
rope.
