Curb This Carelessness.

Riding bicycles through the streets in the
way il is done here is coming TO be con-
slant menace to human life and especially
so in the case of children and at night.
Within the past three days the writer has
witnessed the very narrow escape from in
jury Of at least two pedestrians at street cross
ings. Owing to the noiseless rubber tires on
the wheels the machines moving az fright
full velocity were not heard at all. Only for
the lucky chance of a side-glance and des-
perate dodge both might have been either
killed or severely injured.
Neither machine was apparently provided
with signal light nor an alarm bell. If
they were then the riders were certainly
culpably negligent in not using them. Nor
did the rider in either case call out or give
any sort of warning. In both cases the es-
cape was a mere accident.
This SORT Of thing is too dangerous. and
should be promptly prohibited.
Only few days ago an old gentleman
was run over by bicycle and killed in
Washington city, where the law strictly
requires that all machines shall be provided
with the proper danger Signals under a
the case of the recorded fatality it was due
to the fesbleness and inactivity Of the
victim and the inability of the rider to
properly manage his machine.
New York law requires not only the
nesdful signals but license based npon a
thorough test of ability to manage the
machine properly in all emergencies. Such
restrictions should be adopted and enforced
| here. After some one is killed or manned
| it will be rather late to begin to control the
danger.
All the bicycles in Savannah could not
restore nor make any adequate recompense
| for the life of one little child.
Had the two persons alluded to above
been children or ladies or old people in
stead of athletic young men this article
I would probably have referred to deplora-
bic casualty.
Stringent measures should be imme.
diately adopted not to spoil the sport OF
these thoughtless youths but to protect the
| lives Of those who are now constantly i'm.
4 periled by carelessness.

roo Erea with Thelr Rifles.

There is pretty strong belief throughout
the state that the carrying Of winchester
rifles is becoming altogether too common
The House voiced this belief FRIDAY "nen
it passed the bill prescribing the cohdi'ions
upon which this class Of firearms may DC
carried. The bill was reported uhIaVoraoiy
nv two committees because they thought
II unconstitutional, but the House passed 1t
notwithstanding the adverse reports. And
IL would not be at all surprising II the Sen"
ate should pass II.
There are very few things that would
contribute more to the peace and happi-
ness OF the people Of the state than the
abandonment Of the practice OF carrying
frearms Biost Of the Grimes of VIC
lence are due to this practice. lt is only
recently that TIE carrying OF winchester
rifles has become SO common as to attract
attention. The people who carry them are
NOS of the better class. As rule, they are
worthless whites and vsgrant blacks who
wander from one turpentine camp to an
other. And as the practice of carrying
them has grown crimes Of the worst kind
have increased in number. They are becom-
ing the favorite weapon of murderers, rob-
bers and those who assault women.
Many Of the crimes committed in this
state never get into the newspapers. A
statement was published in the
that very large number OF
murders had been committed along the line
of the South Bound railroad of which the
general public had heard little or nothing.
In most instances the principals in these
crimes were railroad laborers. This class
of laoorers has many among it who are
quarrelsome, particularly when they are
under the influence of whisky, and the VIM
chester rifle is a very common weapon
with them.
The courts are doing nothing toward les
sening the use of the Winchester rifle be-
cause there is no law against Its use, but
they are doing something toward enforcing
tho law against carrying concealed weapons.
The concealed weapon evil, however, is
about as great as it ever was. The number
punished for violating the law is 50 small
that the good effect produced by the pun
ishment is not appreciable. And it is
rather remarkable fact that although the
percentage of people of the better classes
who carry pistols is large it is very seldom
that one of these classes ia punished
An educated public sentiment will do
more to bring about an abandonment Of
the concealed weapon evil than the courts
can possibly do. If in every community the
men of influence should frown upon the
pistol carrying practice and unite in con-
demning it the practice would be aban-
doned in very little while. And with its
abandonment and law virtually prohibit
ing the carrying Of Winchester rifles, ex-
cept for certain clearly defined purposes,
there would be wonderful decrease in the
number of murders and murderous assaults
In the state. Men would get drunk just as
they do now, and they would have. bitter
quarrels, but being without weapons they
would not do each other a great deal of
harm. The criminal courts would have
much less business to do, and the burden
upon taxpayers would be lighter.

Uncle Sans Pension Roll.

There are few bigger pay rolls in the
world than the pension roll of this govern
ment There are 676, 100 names upon it and
about 1900 are being added to it every
month. 1t looks as if the number might
reach 100000 within the next three or
four years.
Most people do not realize how long the
country will have to carry the pension bur-
den. 1t will begin to grow smaller after
awhile-probably quarter of century
but if the country should become engaged
in no more wars it would still have pretty
big pension list century hence. There are
now on the pension rolls twenty-three
widows and daughters Of revolutionary
soldiers and $3.50 survivors Of the war of
1872. From this it will be seen that soldiers
widows and veterans are long lived
The amount paid out in pensions during
the last fiscal year was Sis ,54s, $50 II.
The increase over the previous year was
over $4,000, 600, and the increase this fiscal
year will be much greater.
The north ought 70 be in a much better
financial condition than the south, because
nearly all the vast pension payments is dis
tributed in that section. The south con-
tributes large share Of the pension money,
but gets very little Of IL back.
As matter Of fact, however. the NUN
Der Of paupers 10 the north Is far greater ia
proportion 70 the population than IN the
south. The reason is that there are few IN

Jay Gould Condemned in Wall Street

aASAJs
Jay Gould Condemned In Wall Street.
The failure of the Missouri Pacific Rail.
road Company to declare It's regular quar-
terly dividend Thursday caused almost a
panic in Wall street Friday. So great wat
the desire to sell the stock that the price OF
it fell from IA to 6556, and $4,000 share:
changed hands.
And why was the dividend passeda That
was the question that was asked and vari.
ously answered in Wall street. The story
that was generally believed is this: Jay
Gould's son. George, had been selling the
stock ever since the early part of the
summer and made contracts to deliver
vast number of shares Of it. He
persisted in selling, notwithstanding the
steady rise in the prices Of nearly all kind:
of securities. He believed that the rise
would not be great nor long maintained
and he hoped when the break in the prizes
of Missouri Pacific came it would be so big
that he would be able to get rid of his stock
at large profit. The rise was much
greater, however. than he expected, and al
the stock continued to go up he was threat.
ened with tremendous loss.
Jay Gould and his friends control the
directory of the Missouri Pacific, and they
decided to pass the dividend in order &c
weaken confidence in the roads stock
knock down the price Of ID and let George
Gould unload his holdings.
! II this story is true, it is not to be won
dered at that Jay Gould is looked upon a;
no better than robber by every holder Of
/ Missouri Pacific stock. II he had said the
dividend should be paid, 1t would have been.
The amount Of it is only s4oO, 600, and tina,
sum he can command at any hour any day.
] The statement that the road has no,
earned dividend during the last quarter is
not credited. The road has been doing an
unusually large business. 1t has done its
full share in moving the great wheat crop
Of the west. and its other freights have not
fallen off in the least And, as there Is nc
doubt that the road earns 4 per cent. per
annum on its stock, the dividend for the las {
quarter ought to have been paid evea il
enough to pay it had not been earned during
that quarter.
Neither Jay Gould nor those authrrized to
speak for hiIn have denied the story relative
to George Gould's speculations. The story
may not be true, but if it Is, the condemna-
ton Of MIR Gould has not been too severe. He
is one of the sort of men who are response
bic for legislation hostile to railroads. The
fear that be will grab everything by means
of the power which bis wealth gives him,
creates the demand for protective legisla-
ton, which is often more harmful to the
railroads and the innocent holders Of their
securities than beneficial.

the south who are not workers. while among
the pensioners in the north there are many
drones. Ever since the war the veterans in
the south have been producers, while in the
north a large proportion of the veterans de-
pend almost wholly upon their pensions.
There will be no pension legislation in
this congress, but il the republicans should
get control of the next congress a service
pension bill will be passed in all probability.
The Republican party is willing to bank
rupt the treasury to secure votes. The only
way to keep the pension burden from be-
coming heavier is to keep the Republican
party out of power.
