1t will be noticed that the first
three governors of Iowa enjoyed terms
of four years length each, after
which the gubernatorial term was cut
to two years. The first two governors
were democrats, the third, James w.
Grimes. was of the old whig party,
while the remainder, with the excep-
ton of Governor Boies, have been re-
publicans.
AS an illustration of the growth of
the state since the days of the early
governors is the fact that the total
number of votes cast at the election
of Governor Lowe in 1857 was 5S,133.
Governor Lowe received 30,141 of
these and his opponent, Benjamin NJ.
Samuels, democrat, received 27,149,
making loves majority 2,149, or not
more than a third of the republican
majority cast in Polk county alone.

AN EXPOSITION IN GERMANY.
A Bicycle and Automobile show to
Held az Leipzig

J. F. Monaghan, the American Consul
a Chemnitz, Germany. has informed the
State Department that the fourth Ger
man exposition of bicycles and automo-
biles will be held at the Crystal Palace
at Leipzig in October Of this year Uni
ted States automobile and bicycle builders
are urged by the Consul not TO neglect
this opportunity to display their goods.
4 believe there is little to be gained
in the ordinary bicycle line" says Mr..
Monaghan, but machines driven by gas,
electricity, etc, have a good future in this
market. As a rule, the French manufac-
tU-ers take little notice Of such exhibi-
tons but in this instance the French
ConsuIs in Germany are using every
means in their power to bring the fact
home to the French manufacturers Of
automobiles that they viii lose q splen-
did opportunity # they neglect TO display
their machines at Leipzig in October
They claim that the time is at hand to
exhibit here good, well-bUilt automobiles;
that # the French manufacturers over
look this chance, other countries viii
profit by their negligence.
4 believe it q wise policy to send only
the best machines and 10 keep prices
down The latter should not run over 500
at the most
Our manufacturers should make a
study OF the automobiles built in Ger

years ago IN replacing broken parts. I

AMERICAN ENGINES ABROAD.
An Answer TO the Contentious of Sir
Ernest PaGef.

SCHENECTADY. " Y. June S--Re-
garding the superiority of English over
American locomotives. as maintained by
Sir Ernest Paget, Chairman of the Mid
land Railway Company, and Samuel W
Johnson, superintendent Of the tocomo-
tive work of the department OF the com
Dany. A. J. Pftkin Vice President and
General Manager of the Schenectady Lo-
connective Works. says:
THE comparisons made by Mr. John
son are likely to be quite misleading as
to the comparative merits Of the Ameri-
can and British built locomotives. The
conditions Of -a5Iway operation in Eng
land are entirely different from those OBJ
tanning in the United States and many
foreign countries. In England the train
loads are very light. and the locomotives.
as a rule, are not worked nearly up to
their maximum capacity. As u real test
of value of American as compared with
the British locomotives, It is a well known
fast that, based on the tons of freight
moved per mile, the American locomotive
in American train service viii show much
less cost than the British locomotive in
service on the Midland Railway in the
three items mentioned by Mr.. Johnson
namely, fuel. OIL and repairs.
On the contrary, were British locomc-
tives placed on the leading roads in
America, they would be totally inadequate
for the service required and too costly in
service to compete with American locomo-
tives. In building locomotives for the
Midland Railway the American builders
Sere confined to limitations as to dimen-
SIOaS, to meet the requirements of the
road, SO that the American locomotives
on the Midland Railway should not be
considered as standard American pTac-
tiCe
AS an evidence of the value of the
American locomotive abroad. reference
should be made to the fact that the Sche-
nectady Locomotive Works is now at
work on the sixth consecutive order for
twelve locomotives, making seventy-twO
in all. for one road in Japan, where until
within the last three or four years British
and Continental locomotives have been
used almost exclusively.
