From the 81. James Gazette.
Nothing could be much more pitiful than the
story of the gentleman who has ridden from
Lands End to John o. Groats, distance of 900
miles. in days liz hours. The feat was not SO
much o riding one AZ proof that young man
can keep his seat on q bicycle for that length
of time without being quite dead at the end Of
it. Mr.. Mills was reduced to such q state that,
'besides being unable TO sleep, he could not
even draw his note book from his pocket"
During these five days he slept only six
hours. DR.. Richardson used to maintain that
cycling deserved encouragement because 1t
was q healthy exercise. Is this sort Of thing
healthy?

Many men have solemnly declared
since Tuesday that they would never
have anything more to do with pol
itics. They are the defeated candi.
dates. Some of the number will
adhere to the promise made them
selves, while others will he eager to
again take their chances when op-
portunity affords. There is some
thing fascinating in the excitement
of a political campaign, and with it
all, there is more disgust and more
TO cause man to lose faith in his fel-
low man than anything he can en-
gage in. If it was, as we are told it
was the custom in olden times, the
best men suited for positions nomi-
mated, and every voter allowed to
decide tor himself without advice or
interruption who he should vote for,
then politics would be an honorable
business, but at this age of the world
when every statement made by one
party is pronounced q lie by the
other party, when charges are msde
that if were proved should place
the accused in the penitentiary. 1t
occurs to many of our best men,
those that would be an honor TO
position whether they should stoop
to the level So often necessary to
obtain an Office or stand back and
let time if it will rectify the errors
of the present day. There Is not
one man in ten in the United States
or even one in a hundred, who is
satisfied with the manner of conduct
ing our elections, but the masses ap-
pear unable to bring about change
aud the professional office holder
takes advantage of the circum-
stances and forces the campaign in
to one of abuse and outrageous
tricks to secure an election. The
election just over in this state has
brought to light, if the papers can
be believed, that among our promi-
nent men are many rascals, but we
do not believe the charges made,
and regret that such things can be
without a heavy penalty.
