Oueer Doings at Mono Lake.

The southern end Of Mono lake was con-
siderably agtatcd last Sunday, and dwell
ers on that shaky locality were much per-
turbed. steam was issuing from the lake
as far as could be seen in sudden pulls, and
the water was boiling fercely, like a bean
pot. while huge waves rolled up on the
beach. and rcceding left the sand smoking.
In a moment the air was thick with blind
Ing bot sulphur0us yapor, and subterran-
eous means and rumblings made the wit
ness think that old Nick was holding high
carnival down below. The fences wobbled
up and down and sideways, the wOodpile
at NAYS Ranch locked arms with n big
freight wagon and Waited around the barn
ward 10 the dismal bellOwngs Of the dis
MAYED cattle and the shrll neighing Of
terrified horses.
This appalling fracas lasted two min
utes. Then came blessed quiet for mo-
ment. followed by sudden twtch Of the
earth. as q horse Jerks his hide and dis
lodges bothorsOme fly The shock threw
men and animals of their feet with bruis-
ing violence, bui.it was the wind-up Of the
entertainment. which Mr.. Nay hopes Will
not be soon repeated.
Ii was some hours before the lake ceased
to emit columns of steam. and the water
became very not. Two springs near the
house. long noted for the GOODNESS and
purity OF their water, changed their charac-
Ter and spouted hot mud for two days.
when they flowed cold water again. y

The figure il solitary. Armies had fought

For all essential purposes there Is ou'
one man i'm the House Of Representatives

The fact is that Reeds absolute supremacy
in the House is due more 10 the tacit than
TO the enforced assent Of the members OF his
own party. There is a silent agreement
among the latter that the Speaker shall act as
their exponent. He is not merely the Repub-
lican Speaker Of the House Of Representa-
tiyes. he is the mouthpiece Of his party asso-
ciates on the floor by their common consent
With the possible exception OF Lodge VINO
| is a fanatic and Journalist, no Republican
on the floor has come forward with
commanding influence TO divide the odium
which in the popular estimation has fallen
on Reed. The majority Of the Republican
members are perfectly content that the
Speaker shall acquire all the fame which he
has won. because in their own conscious
ness they are themselves unwilling to Sc
cure that fame at so much expense 70 them
selves. They sustain him in all his acts,
but they sustain him in silence, as If to
avoid observation. Reed has become so
conspicuous, not because he is 80 much
ADLER than his party associates in the House,
but because he is so much more shameless.

THAN MEElI>ING.

There has probably never occurred in this
country more alrocious attempts at whole
sale murder than the recent instances of
train wrecking on the New York Central
railroad. Several of the men who are I'M
plicated have disclosed the part which they
took in these attempts. and their cOnies-
sions are interesting. not only for the light
which they throw upon the diabolical cool
ness with which these crimes were planned
and carried out, jeopardizing, as they did,
!, the lives of hundreds Of innocent men, wo-
) ,en, and children, but for The evil influence

their frightful deed, but ~ Is oniy 100
much reason 10 think that q ,"ise piV-
portion Of the striking switchmeAA, y"u-
men were disposed 10 wink at theseN ous
acts. There is the most positive evioNkxs
that the official leader Of the knights OF ~
Dor in the strike was at least an accom-V
plice after the fact. This is only an Illus
traiion Of how lar men will so when worked
up by the antagonisms springing out Of
those conflicts Of interests represented in
the ordinary strike. and how futile such
strikes are 10 settle the issues between en-
ployer and employee
In notable contrast with the conduct Of
the leading representative Of the Knights
of Labor organization in the strike on the
New York Central railresd, was the attitude
az the head Of the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers, Chief Engineer i. NJ.
Arthur, towards the strikers, which
was revealed In the strict instruc-
tious which he gave 20 the members Of
his order 70 take no part in that movement.
At the grand union meeting of the order in
New York or sunday, resolutions were
passed, without "a dissenting voice, approx
ing Of the action Of their chief, and COM
mendiDg him for the wisdom which he had
shown in the great emergency Of the recent
strike. This was only just 10 the chief
engineer. who has proven on more than one
occasion since he was advanced 10 the head
ship Of his order. that he was u man emf
nently hited 10 I'LL the responsible position
which he occupies The resolutions reflect
tae highes, credit upon the judgment Of the
engineers themselves, and are well calcu-
lated TO strengthen them still further IN that
high esteerh Ia which they have long been
held by the puolic for their courage, their
prudence, and their good sense.

When we started in the CYCLE BUSINESS
eight years ago. we had lots to contend with;
the country roads were poor, the city streets
badly paved. and. worse than ali, "old fogy

Thanks to a decade of progress, the roads
are good, the streets are improved, and "old
man prejudice" had a sudden taking OF after
a lingering sickness.
People buy BICYCLES nowadays much
the same as horses. Different makes serve
different purposes.

TIE appalling accident on the Reading
railroad can only be regarded with feelings
Of unmitigaied horror IT Is, however
with sense Of relief that the absence Of
negligence as a cause for this irishuW
event. is noted. Unlike the very great ma
ioritv Of similar accidents that have recently
occurred. this one appears to have been De-
yond the power Of man to prevent owing 70
the brcyity Of the interval between the acci'
dent TO the coal train, by which several
cars were thrown from one track in mass
over on the other. and the almost immediate
arrival upon the spot Of the express train,
running at the rate of "A mile each minute.
The sorrow which such a calamity is calcu-
lated 10 arouse in the most careless mind
Is fortunately unmiXed with feeling of
indignation excited hy the spectacle Of
human lives destroyed by gross negligence
or indifference.
