TRTCYCLES FOR LADIES'

The use of the tricycle. by ladies does not seem to
have become so general in this country as the use
of the bicycle by men. This is a great pity,
because American women should take more
exercise than they Sdo now; and tricycle.
riding seems to possess many advantages not so
fully found elsewhere. Were it once given the ap-
proyal of fashion it is almost certain that it would
become extremely popular with all classes of Ameri-
can women. 1t is the testimony of large numbers
of English ladies that it is a delightful,
pleasurabie aud healthful pastme. Moreover, now
that bicycling is becoming so common among
men, il is only fair that the ladies should he given
a chance to follow them, so to speak. There are
obvious reasons why they cannot get on the male
bicycle TO follow foot is out of the question /;
and even the native gallantry of the male cycler
will not make it possible for hun TO stand still on
his machine in "A country road to talk with his lady
friends. The side-saddle was designed to enable
the ladies to accompany the gentlemen on horse
back. In the same way the tricycle. seems to have
been invented to enable them to accompany male

MARYLAND COTTON MnLs.-It is not strange that
Maryland cotton manufacturers as some Of them
state In interviews In The Baltimore San, find their
business less satisfactory than IL has been for many
years. The causes In thlsinstance do not imply ILL.,
success IN the cotton manufacture of the country
generally, but, the contrary, show its rapid de-
velopment The Maryland mills have long been
largely engaged In making goods Of the 9oarser
qualities, designed mainly for the Southern trade.
But the rapid growth Of cotton manufacture at tho
South where the cotton costs less and the wages Of
labor are lower, has affected the Maryland mills
even more than those of Eastern States. Not long
ago. it will be remembered, Eastern agents appealed
strongly to the Trunk Line managers TO place lower
freight rates on cotton goods sent west from this
city, and claimed that Southern goods Of tho
cheaper grades were delivered at Cincinnati and
other Western cities at rates with which Eastern
manufacturers, paying the present freights, could
not compete. If the business at the West has been
thus affected, 1t is evident that Maryland mill,
dependent mainly on the Southern trade, must be
still more affected. The only remedy apparently.
is for the mill-owners to prepare for the nandfac-
ture of different grades of goods, which the South
probably will pot make for some years. Some East
ern manufacturers, however, have preferred 10
build and splendid mills at the South, thus Sc
curing for themselves the advantages which the
South can offer

the last session of Congress, was revived in or
der to be submitted to the House at the earliest
possible day. This bill is favOrite with Dem
ocratic statesmen. Other manufacturers may
look in vain to them for friendly or even intel
ligent treatment. The whiskey maker can al
ways get hearing. In fact, the Democratic
party has a strong feeling-perhaps fellow
feeling-for whiskey. 1t likes to drink it, and
it is always opposed to taxing it.

The end of the ODOnnell case undoubtedly
came at eight o'clock this morning in London
but by dint of hard work and the use OF the
Atlantic cable, this country was enabled 10 Sc
cure about all the humiliation which 1t Is pos
sible to get in connection with an affair OF 'hls
kind. On Wednesday Mr.. Lowell, following di-
rections from the President asked the BRUSH
Government to delay O'Donnelps execution, on
the ground that the prisoner was an American
citizen but the prompt reply was that ODon-
nell had had fair trial and that his counsel
had made no representations in his behalf on
the score of citizenship; therefore the request
could not be granted. The moral OF the whole
case is that to mind ones own business is just as
good rule for nations to follow as it is for indi-
viduals. 1t may also be properly noted here
that General Roger A. Pryor now holds the
opinion that it is worse than useless to send
American lawyers to England to defend Irish
Americans who get themselves into trouble.

these shops is also much the same. They form
villages by themselves and their employers
have a general supervision over their affairs
The average wages of the French iron workers
in these shops are from 81 to 81 20 day.
American workmen in similar positions receive
several times as much. If our tariff were swept
away. therefore, Free Trade England would not
be the only place whence danger to our iron IN
dnstrv would come.

One of the most interesting of Mr.. Robert p.
Porter's letters from Germany was devoted to
description of the great Krupp Iron works at
Essen. OF equal interest is the letter from
France which we publish this morning, contain
ing sketch Of the Schneider iron works at
Creusot. The establishments at Essen and
Creusot are much alike, and the similarity is
partly accounted for by the fact that the pros
prietors of both works are Germans, or of Ger
man descent. The condition Of the employees Of

THE TmBUNE's exposure of the frauds in the
Department of Public Works has naturally
attracted the serious attention of the Repub-
Hcan Assemblymen and Senators who will soon
gather at Albany, and the prOpriety of Legis-
lative inquiry into the matter is strongly
advocated by many of them. Nothing could
be more highly proper, and the public will
carefully watch the appointment of the Com
mittees on Cities of the two Houses. No
investigating body has greater powers to make
a searching inquiry than these same COM
mittees. They can probe matter even more
deeply than a Grand Jury. If the present
Grand Jury in the court of Oyer and Terminer,
therefore, does its duty thoroughly, as we ex-
pect that it will, and if its labors are supple
mented by an examination of the entire De-
partment by members of the Legislature, there
is little chance that any guilty man will escape.

The recent mysterious murder of Mr.. Annie
Cheeverat Milford, in Pike County, Penn, differs
from the recent mysterious murders committed
in this part of the country in so far that some
one is suspected of the crime and there seems
to be some reason on which to base the suspi
cion. Mr. Cheever was found dead in his yard
one morning last October with bullet and
some buckshot in his body. Strong circum-
stantial evidence points to a young ruffian
named Greening as the perpetrators of the crime.
He has been arrested, and the trial begins to-
day. What makes the case of more than usual
interest is the fact that all the witnesses so
afraid of Greening and his family that they are
unwilling to tell all they know. Even the au-
thorities are terrOr-struck, and it is doubted if
a conviction can be secured. 1t should be re-
membered, however that Pike County does not
comprise all of Pennsylvania, and it isnot likely
that one family will be allowed to intimidate
the whole State.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-In compliance
with the request made by the psoprietors
of one of the popular patent medicines
which are widely sold throughout this
country under the name OF "btters," the
commissioner of internal revenue to-day
rendered decision with regard to the
liability OF such quasi medicinal prepara-
tions to special tax as beverage.
He holds that where the bitters
are sold in good faith as medicine no
special tax since July lst will be rs
quired. An analysis of the particular
specimen of bitters upon which the de-
cision was rendered showed the following
result: Absolute alcohol, 80 per cent. !;
water, 50 per cent; essential oils and
havoring extracts, 4 per cent. Upon this
analysis it was estimated that the sample
contained 50 per cent. of ordinary
whisky.

A Color Blind Policeman

Edward Cannon, who lives at No. 317
East Thirteenth street, is nearly the
double of Amos Dubois, except the
former has red hair and whiskers and
the latter black. Officer Kirby has been
on the lookout for Dubois for some days
past for carving man named John
Smith. Cannon came out of his house
Thursday morning, when he was espied
by Officer Kirby, who without stopping to
examine the color of the hair took him
In custody thinking it was Dubois. Gan
non protested against such proceedings
but the officer. who did not appear to
have any warrant, marched him off in
the direction of the police station. At
Thirteenth and Walnut streets Officers
Kennedy and Raymond met Kirby with
his prisoner and the former knowing
Cannon, informed Kirby of his mistake.
The prisoner was released and the color
blind officer who could not distinguish
the difference between a brilliant red and
black made the amende honorable by pro-
fuse apologies.

lmpOrted Matches.

The abolition of the internal revenue
tax on matches. Wholesale dealer in
New York says, "has encouraged the
American agents OF the Swedish factories
to import Swedish matches in large guam
titles. Every steamship from Swedish
port, since July 9th, has brought
matches. The Thingvala last week
brought 35, 900 gross, and the Heimdal,
which is expected this week, will have
larger consignment. The duty is
30 per cent, and the matches are sold
here for about three-quarters OF the price
of our own homemade matches. They
are put up in tight boxes made of white
wood. Three kinds are sold here-the
safety match, the sulphur match and the
flaming light. The latter ia match that
will burn in a gale OF wind. The Ameri-
can match monopoly is endeavoring to
have duty levied on the boxes in which
the matches come. If this endeavor
should succeed it will put stop to the

What has moral suasion dOnel II has
prepared the way for prohibition. 1t has
educated the public into the belief that
the traffic in intoxicating drinks is doing
a great harm, and endangering the life
of the Republic. Fifty years ago rum
was everywhere, in all the events Of
human life. 1t WAS at the birth, the
wedding, the church, the communion,
the social party, the work, the play, the
sick bed, the death, the funeral of all,
high or low, rich or poor, Christian or
intidel, bond or free. Now, how vast the
change. Now the earnest, religious and
moral sentiment, and ali the best of social
sentiment and individual opinion, is
strongly the other way. w.
