II should think your pa would learn,
after awhile, that he is too old to fool
around as he did when he was boy"
said the grocery man, as he got away
from the bad boy for fear he would be
scalped.
THAT'S what told him when he wanted
to try my bicycle" said the bad boy, as
he broke out laughing. HE saw me rid
ing the bicycle and said he could do it as
well as l could, if he could once get on,
but he couldn't spring up On it quite as
spry as he used to; and he wanted me and
my chum to hold it while got on. l told
him he would get hurt, but he said there
couldn't no boy tell him anything about
riding, and so we got the bicycle up
against a shade tree, and he put his feet
on the treadles, and told us to turn her
loose. Well, honest, L shut my eyes
cause l didn't want to see pa get tied up
in a knot.
''But he did. He pushed with one foot,
and the bicycle turned sideways, then he
pushed with the other foot, and it began
to wiggle, and then he pushed with both
feet, and pulled on the handles, and the
front wheel struck an iron fence and as
pa went on top of the fence the hind wheel
seemed to rear up and kick him, and pa
hung to the fence and the bicycle hung to
him, and both went down to the sidewalk,
die up his trousers leg, and the other
down his coat collar, and the other wheel
rolling round back and forth over his fin
gers, and he yelling to make us take it of.
| never saw two people tangled up the
way pa and tho bicycle was and we had
to take it apart, and take pas coat off and
roll up his pants to get him out. And
when he got up, and shook himself to see
if he was all there, and looked at it as
though he didn't know it was loaded and
looked at me and then at my
chum in a sort of nervous way, and
looked around and scringed as though he
expected the bicycle was going to sneak
up behind him and kick him again, he
the bicycle up with, and when |
me by the neck and maui the
bicycle, but L reasoned him out of it.
l wasn't to blame for his trying to gallon
over an iron picket fence with a bicycle,
cause l told him he better keep off of it.
| think if men would take advice from
boys oftener they wouldn't be so apt to
get their suspenders caught on an iron
picket fence and have TO be picked up in
a basket. But there is no use of us boys
telling grown person anything,
and by keeping still and letting
them break their bones, we save
getting kicked. 1t would do some
men good to be boys all their lives,
then they wouldn't have to initiate. Hello,
there goes the police patrol wagon, and
| am going to see how it rides on the back
STEP" and the boy went out and jumped
on the hind end of the wagon, and then
picked himself up out of the mud and felt
of his head where the pOliceman's club
drODOpd on il.

Why Not?

One OF our exchanges asks why II several
reading Republican journals OF New YORK
State are opponents Of a tariff for protec-
ton the Democrats OF Virginia should be
afraid to discuss the question.
The answer Is that there are l2S, 900 negro
voters in Virginia who viii not divide on
the tariff question, let II be discussed as
much as you can possibly discuss 1t. Inc
Democrats could afford to divide upon tnal
ouestion IL their opponents would make u
a test question. But this they WIZ
not do. The negroes would Vo'e
the Coalition ticket II all the candidates
mon i. were in favor OF free trade Just as
readily as thew would vote it II all the can
didaies upon IL were protectionists. The
white pcoplc OF Virginia were foolish
enough 10 divide INTO two parties on the
deb, question, and thus put it into the
mower OF the colored voters to decide the
contest in favor OF the Mahoneites. The
whites may divide upon any question OF
State Motley. let it be what it may, or they
may divide upon any question OF national
policy, let 1t be what it may, and the ne
groes will in either case vote against the De-
mocrais. They are bound TO the Republican
marty. The negro is always for the Gov
eminent at Washington. As long as the
route agents. and letter-carrlers, ana posi-
masters. and collectors, and marsbals. ana
oil other Federal officials are Republicans,
the negroes will be Republicans. We are
not confident that they would become DEM
ocrats even il the Democrats wee TO gam
control OF the national Government; Dut
we are confident they will not become Dem
ocra,s before that much-desired change
m our rulers Is effected. Heretofore they
have always voted so nearly so'idly for the
Coali,ionists that We cannot but be sur
prised that any Democrat should expect
aid from them in future. we 90 not DC
lieye that out OF the $500 votes received
Nv GEORGE ID. WISE in this city last No.
yember. one hundred were negroes. we

cratic ticket at the last preceding election,
and received only two responses, we be-
lieve.
Until the Democrats are ready to do as
much in order to capture the negro vote as
the Coalitionists are willing TO do, they
would be unwise indeed to divide into two
factions upon any question OF policy, ma
tional or State. Governor CAMERON and
his associates on the State Board OF Educa-
ton have appointed two negroes trustees
OF the public schools OF Richmond. Is
there Democrat in Virginia who would
be willing 10 follow that example in case
the negroes should vote the Democratic
ticket? Not one, we trust. The public
schools would soon become odious in the
eyes OF the whites if negroes were empow-
cred to select the principals and teachers,
or TO have two-ffths OF majority, or OF the |
number OF votes necessary to elect the
teachers.
To make an issue Of the question OF pro-
lection under such circumstances would
be to fiddle whilst Rome was burning.
