a London Blot.

A typical English mob took possession
of The city Of London on the 8th and
held almost undisputed sway for several
hours.
The outbreak was the result Of a mass
meeting Of the starving mechanics Of
London in Trafalgar Square, around the
Nelson monument; a Mr.. Burns who
ran as the socialist candidate in Not
tingham in the recent election being
the most conspicuous agitatOr. He
undertook to make a speech from the
pedestal Of the Nelson column, and was
removed by the police, but the crowd,
numbering many thousands, came TO his
support aud pressed him back to the
Monument, where he waved red flag
and was greeted with oft-repeate5
shouts He then finished hi
speech and read a savage resolution
which denounced the authors Of th'
present distress in England and demand
ell that Parliament start public WORKS t.
give employment to the tens of thous
ands Of deserving men wto were out 0
work through no fault of their own, bu
because Of bad government. A numbe
OF threatening and inhamatory speeche
were made by various orators.
Finally, through the efforts of the pc
lice, the mob was driven from the MOI
ument, and marching THROUGH some {
the principal streets, looted great man
small shops, and offered indignities
all well dressed persons whom they el
countered. A number of private res
dences were stoned, and especial after
tion was given to some of the high-tone
club houses.

History ofthe Bicycle.

In the year of 1916, saws the Philadel-
phia Record, Baron Won Drais construct
ed curious vehicle. consisting of two
wheels OF equal size. placed one in front
OF the other. and connected by a bar on
which was a small seat The rider sat
astrlde the bar and propelled the vehicle
by striking his feet against the ground.
Ihe machine. very simple in mechan-
Ism, was named the Draisine, and was
the progenitor of the modern bicycle.
In 1918 his continuance was introduced
to use in England, and the year follow
ing made its appearance in New York,
Philadelphia and Boston, and was for a
time quite popular. In 1868 a French
man applied cranks to the fore wheels
OF the Draisine, having discovered that
a certain speed would maintain the
equilibrium of the two-wheeler, and in
1866 further improvements were effected.
the new machine being introduced in
New York 1t received little or no at
tention until 1873, when sudden popu-
Iarlty h0nored 1t, and everybody began
to use it This continued something
more than year. when it was as sum-
marily abandoned as it had been en-
Enthusiastically taken up. Some English
mechanics continued to work upon the
plan. however. and in 1876 the first i'm
proved bicycle was imported and put on
exhibition at our centennial fair. In
1873 the first American company for
the manufacture of bicycles was organ
lied, and thet raffic in these articles
has since increased so steadily that no
less than 5000 were manufactured and
sold in this country last year, and it
was estimated that there were then 3d.
600 in use in the United States, exclusive
of boys machines The manufacture

Gen W. G. Fslkner was then invited to
address the meeting, which he did in
short speech, showing the advantages that
would accrue to the State by the transfer
of The Penitentiary lease 10 the Gulf i Ship

to be built at a small expense, and utilizing
the convict labor of the State, with profit
to the same.

The Telephone Matter.

There can be no safer guide to public
officials in their business transactions of
private nature than is contained in the
following admirable editorial which we
find in the Courier-Jovndl:
The moral question, how far, and in what
manner, public official may connect hi IN
self with private enterprises. was pretty
we'll settled in the Credit Mobilier affair
No enc will pretend that, because man Is
a Senator, Congressman or Cabinet Minis
ter, he must dispose of all the business in
terests he may happen to be possessed OF.
The case against Patterson, Brooks and
others in the matter OF Credit Mobilier was
that they got the stock without any money
consideration and then liedabout it. Sam
Hooper, a member of Congress from Bos-
ton, capitalist and fnancier, announced
very promptly that he owned 100000 of
Credit Mobiliar; that he had bought Il AZ
good investment and paid his money for
IL, adding that he would like to purchase
more al the same rates. No one question
ed his integrity, or the Legitimacy of the
transaction.
The real point in such transactions turns
upon the bona fide relation of the officials
to the outside business pursuits with which
they may be identified. Mr. Blaine was
eensured, and justly eensured, for holding
railway shares which had been given him
because he was Speaker OF he House. and
not because OF the payment of their yalne
in money. 1t was stated during the isst
Presidential campaign that Judge FL
muuds also owned railway shares. But
Judge Eimunds had no difficulty in show

Otherwise, it viii involve scandal OF no
mean proportions. 1t il only jasts how
ever, to soy in this correction, that the
eff,rt to connect Mr. Lamar with the
alleged scandal rests on no sort OF founda-
ton There il every reason to belIeye
that the suits against the Bell Telephone
people ought to be brought. There Is no

was referred TO him a. Secretary OF the

and decide it exclusively upon Its legal
merit. That he did SO will not be gain
said when all the facts are known and tie
suits come 10 trial. This ends his c9nnec-
ton with it, That Mr.. Garland owns Pan
Electric stock, and Is Mr.. Lamar's col

As an honest Secretary, fearless aud
