American wbeelmen,s Leagu..


The League of American Wheelmen
has experienced a remarkable growth
having increased tenfold since its organ
ization. Before 1891 it will probably
reach a membership of 100000 "Ad-
vancement Of wheeling" has always been
the motto of the league, and the good
roads of the country owe their condition
to the efforts Of this band of cyclists. In
1880 ninety riders assembled in New
port to form an organization for their
protection and for highway improve
ment. From this seed the league has
sprung with mushroomlike growth, un-
til its societies extend into all parts of
wheeldom. The practical advantages
Of membership consist in the assistance
of the whole body to secure better roads
in neglected localities, legal assistance
when road privileges are denied riders,
and reduced rates at the league hotels,
which are located in all important cities
OF the country.-New York Telegram.

The failure of Judge Turner's effort to
defeat Mr.. Wilson in the Spokane Falls
primary election suggests many things:
but nothing more forcibly than the un-
wisdom of persistent self-seeking in politics
Judge Turner is without doubt an able
man and in every personal respect, man
OF high character; but he has unfortunately
an itch for Office. and upon every chance of
gaining it, may be relied upon to come up
as candidate. He came 10 the state (then
territory as an otfice-holder. and there has
been no time since his term as Associate
Justice expired, that he has not
been a candidate for something. He
wanted the nomination for Territorial
delegate two years ago; ne wanted to be a
justice of the supreme court when the ter
ritory became state; failing in this, want
ed to be senator; again failing, he still
cherished Political hopes. and a few weeks
ago embarked in q foolish attempt to
down Congressman Wilson. This effort,
like those which preceded it, has ended in
defeat and humiliation.
The truth is that the people like to select
their own officials, and there is q natural
and entirely Legitimate feeling OF opposition
to any man who seeks to push himself into
high place.

Sturgeon Fishing.
Aefn~{~ D;n~.a~

The sturgeon business il at its height. There
is great run in the river now. and the fisher
men are going after them. and there is good
demand from toe East where the sturgeon crop
has been short this season There are many va.
rieties of hooks used in fishing for surgeon.
The needle hook. without barbs, introduced by
the Chinese, are going out OF fashion The only
kind of bait Is cells which cost IS a barrel and
so the fishermen prefer 20 set lines with hooks
arranged along them and suspended above the
bottom SO that the sturgeon get hooked acct
dentally.
