A Democratic Dig athooke.
Ex-Cougressman “Bob” Vance,edi‘or
of the New Britain Herald, thus eulo;
gizes Editor Clarke’s Courant condi-
date for Governor, Hon. Lorrin A.
Cooke:
"Cooke is a plain. easy-going country
gentleman, now from Winsted, who
has been supported for years by the re-
ceivership of a defunct insurance com-
pany. He has no force and but little
ability. It is openly said that the law
mongers are in his favor because he
will be plastic in their hands. Those
who watched his career in the Lieuten-
ant-Governor’s chair know perfectly
well that he will need ‘a guide, philos-
opher and friend’ if he ever gets to be
Governor. The lobby will be pleased
to furnish one.”
To the above “damning with faint
praise,” Editor R‘odemeyer, who has
known Mr. Cooke all his life, as a
native ',of the same elevated and sa-
lubrious county and as a neighbor and
remarks that “evidently
Editor Vance entertains a low estimate
of the estimable old gentleman’s execu-
tive ability and blackbone.”
The Maine Fire in the Rear.
Ever since Bryan and Sewall have
met the Democratic-Populist leaders in
New York to accept the Chicago ncrn-
inations, there has been nothing but
trouble all around the board.
Bryan said too much and Sewall said
too little in their speeches of accept-
ance, and their followers are disgusted
with both. Level-headed Democratic
leaders have turned tail and gone home,
leaving the Altgelds and Tillmans to
run the campaign from Chicago. And
while Bryan and Sewatl are knocking
things crinkly crsz ' in New York, Her-
old M. Sewell, son of the Chicago can-
didate for V2108 President, opened. the
campaign in Maine by a speech against
his father and infavor of McKinley’s
election to the Presidency.
It was Bryan’s purpose when he left
Nebraska for the East, to rush from
New York to Maine and carry it by
storm, but those who know more than
Bryan does, have stopped him in his
career; and while he is chafing and wait-
ing in New York to know what .is to
Sewoll’s eon
sounds the keynote of disaster to the
Chicago ticket in Maine. ‘

Compressed Air Motor Dars.
The Hartford Post ‘0 oils attention to
the important fact, that the interest in
the application of compressed air as a
motive power has been revived by the
the trial of cars equipped with the new
motors in New York city within the
past few days. The motors used are
the invention of Robert Hardie, a
Scotchman who has given much atten-
tion to the subject and who personally
supervised the running of the cars. The
_ motor thus far has made a'favorable im-
pression. ' .
The new motor mechanism is simple
enough. There are no complicated
levers for the motorman to handle or
By a slight wrist
movement on a short lever the motor-
man can stop the car, put on the air
brakes, start the car, back it or let off
the air brakes. All the machinery in
sight on the platform consists of two-
levers and a brake. The. cars are com-
pactly built. A compressed air tank
and a hot water tank are placed under
each car.
As to speed and ease of handling, the
new cars are successful. A speed of
thirty-one miles an hour has been at-
tiined. The maximum speed on the
trip which the cars are making in New
York, however is twelve miles an hour.
The schedule time for the distance cf
about two and one-half miles is between
fifteen and sixteen minutes. It . is re5
ported that‘the starts and stoppages of
the car are so gradual that there is to
plunging and jolting and passengers
are not in danger of being thrown into
the laps of people or precipitated. to the
floor as the 'car starts or steps. And
'yet, so perfect is the control of the car
.that it can be stopped within its own
length when going at the ratelif fifteen
miles an hour. . ' '
These reports are calculated to make
patrons of trolley cars dissatisfied and
envious. But the tfolley is here and
has given evidence of its usefulness and
adaptability. Think how, the service
1118 improved since the advent of over-
head electric traction.
Compare the beautiful, easy-running,
capacious open cars of our West avenue
line with the rumbling, close. joggling
horse cars that were in use but a short.
time ago in this city. The electric mo-
tor brought with it vast improvements
in every way. The compresied ‘air
motor may carry on the march of im-‘
provement still. further. In New York
one company is satisfied with it, and
efforts are to be made to place it in
Chicago and Philadelphia. In various
European cities it is used with satisfac-
tion. The one great gain to be made ‘
is the abolition of the overhead wires. '
If, as is claimed, there is no element 'of
danger from the bursting of the air
tanks, the new motor will find a more
ready introduction in this country.
Americans want the best and they will
have it, although the immense sums of
money invested in trolley plants will
doubtless preclude the possibility of an
immediate general change to the new
system.-

A few years ago nearly all newspapers
published, at this season, recipes for summer
complaints. Now such items are seldom
met with. Publishers have learned that
there is nothing quite as good as Chamber-
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
for these diseases and as it is in general use
everywhere they have quit publishing these
recipes. No one havin a bottle of this
remedy in the house nee fear an attack of
bowel corn laint. It can always be depended
upon and is pleasant and safe. For sale by
