preference for such a mud hen as Cranfil

A BICYCLER'S RIGHTS.

The authorities of the thriving town
of Tracy, in this state. have lately been
very much disturbed over the habit in
dulged in by bicyclers of riding through
the open streets upon their steely
steeds. Their indignation eliminated
some time ago when they caused the ar
rest of Rev. J. HENRY LONG, of the
Presbyterian church at Currie, who, re-
CARELESS of the righteous wrath of vii
lage lawmakers was engaged in the
goddess practice of propelling his BIZ
cycle through the village streets.
Now the riding Of a bicycle is very
proper and commendable thing. Not
only is it a graceful performance,
charming to the aesthetic sense, but it
is extremely valuable from the stand
point of health. 1t is practice there
fore which should be encouraged rather
than condemned. Therefore upon the
grounds of expediency the bicyle-hating
authorities of Tracy were at fault in
seeking summarily to Danish the
machine from their streets.
They were also wrong from the point
of view of law and justice. The roads
are intended for vehicles. The
Tracy lawmakers will notl dis
pute that obvious fact. Very well.
What then is bicycle but vehicle,
none the less because it has two wheels
instead of four? And how is it less a
vehicle in that its mode of propulsion is
human instead of equine? AS to the le-
gal aspect of bicycle riding in the open
streets, the bicyclers of Tracy have by
far the best of it.
The same question has came up in
many Eastern cities, to say nothing
about towns and villages. In every in
stance the judicial decision has been in
favor of the bicyclers. We would ad-
wise the knickerbocker wearing citizens
of Tracy to resent the martyrdom of
Rev. Mr.. LONG by forcing the authori-
ties to sustain their arbitrary position
in court of law.

object, would be quite foreign to his
nature, and can therefore understand
what fine scorn would animate his vir-
tuous bosom in the contemplation of
such black treason.
For FORAKER is quite an expert in
the determination of treason. 1t was
only the other day that he was in nego-
tiation with WHITELAw REID, the
BLAINE manager, with view to taking
the second place on the Republican
ticket, an offer which he declined. But
why, since it is understood he is ambi-
tious. Simply because, with fatuous
cOnceit, he fancieS that the accident of
occasion may possibly send him to the
head of the ticket.
That is the plan which persons near
him have outlined. But is he not del
egate to Chicago committed to the can
didacy of SHERMAN, and would not such
desertion be treason of the rankest sort?
He is, and of course it would to all hon
orable men be treason to desert ones
chief for personal advantage.
But of such men is not FORAKER. He
has quite different definition of trea-
son. 1t consists in easing the dying
moments of helpless captives.
But the ambition of FORAKER is not
likely to be gratified. The American
people have not yet sunk to that pitch
OF degradation. Bah, let us have done
with the name of FORAKER. 1t leaves
bad tast tie in the mouth.

NOT SATISFIED.

Our friends, the enemy, who were
gathered in convention at st. Cloud in
Dictated that they were not satiied with
the MILLS bill. We quite agree with
them. Neither are we satisfied with it,
though, perhaps, our reasons for dis
satisfaction with it differ from theirs.
We are not satisfied with it from the
standpoint of the justice that should be
done the interests of the people, while
their dissatisfaction doubtless is based
upon the fact that the MILLS bill is a
Democratic instead of a Republican
measure.
For. we take it. the Fifth district Re-
publicanS are in accord with their DEM
ocratic brethren in demanding tax re-
duction. We are dissatisfied with the
MILLS bill simply because it does not
go far enough. 1t leaves high tax on
many things, which, if the people were
heard, would come off. 1t is limited in
its scope, and in many instances in
eifectual in affording any substantial
reduction.
But it is step in the right direction.
1t prepares the ground for better work
in the future. 1t affords some relief on
the principle that half loaf is better
than no bread, Therefore, inasmuch
as we think the people are entitled to
the whole loaf we are dissatisfied with
the MILLS bill, but as we think this the
part of wisdom to accept the half loaf
rather than go altogether hungry, we
favor it.
And our Fifth district friends will
permit us to remind them that it is
their Republican brethren in congress
who prevent the people.
