A Cycle Dog.

A French invention, called cycle
dog, is coming extensively into use and
in time will no doubt be extensively sat
on by park and village authority. BY
squeezing rubber bulb a sound is
emitted that rivals in villainy any COM
bination of the gamut that can be imag-
ined. l shall not attempt to describe it;
1t would take Dante and Dore to do
that. However, imagine, II you can, .
thousand l4ns scratching over a thou
sand panes of glass, combine with this
several discordant screams such as one
hears when a lot of girls are playing
tag" Put in the bark of a good-sized
yellow dog. mix we'll, and apply sud-
denly.
The effect OF this combination on the
ears Of a spirited horse would be disas-
trous, to put it mildly, and after few
youthful riders have applied it the cycle
dog will, no doubt. be legislated out Of
existence.

RECIPROCITY PLANS.
A Great Deal of Debate Expected on Mr..
BIRlne's Proposition.

A Great Deal of Debate Expected on Mr..
BINlne's Proposition.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Mr. Blaine's
reciprocity proposition is to be dis
cussed as the last feature of the Tariff
bill. When the sugar schedule is
reached it will be laid aside till all
the other features of the measure
have been passed upon. There is be-
lief that the sugar schedule and the
Blaine reciprocity plan will come up
for discu ssion some time week after
next, and that it will occupy ten days
or two weeks, which will make the
adoption of the Tariff bill the latter
part of August or the fret of Septem-
Der.
knowing that there will be q great
deal of debate upon Mr.. Blaine's recon-
mendation, and that it would come up
in connection with the sugar schedule,
the Committee on Finance agreed TO lay
aside the latter when it is reached, SO
that whatever action may be taken
upon sugar and MIR. Blaine's recon-
mendation 1t will have no effect upon
other features of the bill.

AL OF Them Are Interested In Honest
Racing.
I heard o prominent member OF the
Washington Park Club remark the other
evening, writes Hyder Ali in the Chicago,
Times, that he hoped the books were
winning, as the bookmakers supported
the racing, the public being only of
minor Importance. The public supports
the bookmakers, and although the book
makers have a hard name, it is safe to
say that, taken as a class, they are OPP
posed to '.jobbing" on race-track. The,
reason why this is the case Is plain. A;
bookmalxer lays his odds on public form
and if they are running straight hcl
knows just where they should be at the
finish. II horse Is fixed, however, he,
can have no possible line by which to-
go. He can only keep his eyes open and
watch how tho stable money is being
placed. The line he then gets is often
delusivc one, for "a bet of 500 in his
book may be offset by a bet of 81, 900 in
New Orleans. Experience, and expert
ence has cost him dear on more than one
occasion. has taught him to be very
careful. and bet of SO from somebody
whom he has reason to believe is ION
the inside" will cause him to cut the
odds.
Ihad along talk with n couple of prom
inent bookmakers the other evening, and
one of them said to me: II have been
making books for over fifteen years, and
I'll tell you that straight racing 10 what
we want. 1t is to our interest to have
horses run on the level, and to build up
an interest in turf sports. \ crooked
race hurts us and it hurts the associa-
ton, whether 1t is run in Louisville, st.
Louis or Chicago. 1t hurts us in two
ways. 1t destroys public confidence and
1T leaves us all NJ sea- When horse
that should win is beaten, and beaten
on his merits, you never hear a word
from us, but when the race has sus-
picious look then we like to see prompt
investigation and punishment melted
out to the guilty parties. The sugges-
ton made by the Times that a shrewd,
clear-headed man should be placed in
the betting-ring to watch the betting
and to report to the judges any thing
suspicious that may occur is good one
in my opinion, for job develops there
more quickly than anywhere else, and .
change of jockeys will often work Won
ders and upset some we'll laid plans"

FARMERS alliances are still springing

FARMERS alliances are still springing
up all over the country. In the south
they are debating democratic nomina-
tions wherever they can and running
candidates on their own account where
dictation fails. They are gathering
great strength in the north and if the
growth continues are apt to cut an inn
portant part in the presidential election
two years hence. The farmers are or
ganizing for their own protection. They
demand liberal laws for their relief and
favor the abolition of national banks
and a great increase of the currency.
The statesmen of the south who do not
espouse their cause are gracefully drop
ping out of politics this year.
