ARISING A GOOD THING.

The news of the killing of venerable clergy
man in Washington by a Careless bicycle nder
calls attention anew TO q matter OF serious pun
liz concern. Doubtless the bicycle Is praise
worthy invention. 1t is useful as q means OF con-
vevance It affords excellent hcalth-givng eXer-
else. And TO both sexes it gives Fascinating
and exhilarating open-air sport. We are glad
that the privileges of the streets and parks have
been extended 10 the wheclmen, and that bicycle
riding has become so common everywhere. And
IT, Is largely because do not wish to see the
practice brought into dsrepute and placed under
annoying restrictions that we urge upon all who
indulge in it the need of scrupulous care 70 avoid
infringing upon the rights or endangerng the
safety Of Others
That such care is not always exercised is only
ton nairfullv evident. In this city there is, per
hans more of H. than elsewhere. and little com
rlaint is 10 lr made Of the conduct Of whcemen.
In BROOKLYN where bcyce-rdng Is even more
popular than here, there seems to be
minimum OF care and a maximum OF reck-
lcssness No one can see the way in which
some whecmen dash at full speed through the
streets and parks without a well-founded teel
ing of apprehension. On an asphat-paved road
yov n rubber-tired wheel Is nOiseless 1t gives
no warning to the pedestrian Of It's approach. yet
many riders go WhlrllHH hloH8 oNei Vl"''-"'''iN'
and around corners at full speed They ring
no bell. they sound no whistle, they make no
SIGNAL Even in the eveliing dusk they display
M lantern light Generally, Of course, they keep
a lookout and avoid running against people But
many n pedestrian has only saved himself from
serious harm by sudden and extreme agility and
many Others have received serious nervous shocks by
having a fixing wheel and IT'S rider rush past
them in the dark, without premonition, and upper
ceived until within arms reach. There are lm-
nortant thoroughfprrs which pedestrians who are
nv no means timd or wealI-nerved dread to
traverse. simply because Of the reckless danger
Gus riding of the wheelmen.
Not all bicycle riders are inconsiderate, Of
cour,e and we do not mean 10 place the stigma
u,on them in general. But the minority, who
dn offend. are Numerous enough 10 make their
practice q serious evil. II is an abuse that should
mo checked for the sake Of the sport and that
must be stopped for the sake Of public safety
II l. not too much TO ask that all bicycles after
d,rl, should be provided with lights, and that at
or,ssngs and corners of frequcnted thoroughfarCs
hollis Of warning should be sounded IL is not
unreasonable to demand that on crowded city
s,roots ,ybeelmen should not exceed certain rate

p1suopS NOTION or HoNoR.

The Episcopal Church is doubtless wise in
the safeguards which it throws about the matter
of the choice of its chief pastors. Though the
power of Bishop in that communion nowadays
is considerably and wisely restricted by canon
ical provisions. vet ii is an office which carries
with il both large influence and large response
bility. and in their relations to the teaching OF
the Church and the discipline and good order
of its clergy the questions OF Bishops belief
and conduct cannot be indifferent questions
II is well, therefore, that before Bishop
elect in the Episcopal Church can be conse-
Grated his reputation and his opinions should be
carefully scrltinized by those especially who
are to be in an intimate and official sense his
brethren: and it is not surprising that in con-
necton with snch scrutiny there should be, on
the part more particularly OF those who are
hostile 10 the views or methods of some partic-
Mar Bishop elect a good deal of zeal in hunting
nm and putting into active circulation any in
discreet acts or utterances Of such one that
will most effectuay damage his chances Of
confirmation. All this is usual part OF &c
clesiastcai warfare, and it is probably not more
omen 10 criticism than many other methods OF
ecclesiastical warfare which ardent Sectarian
partisanship is wont to approve.
But such methods certainly do become OBJ
iectionabe when they are secretly employed
and when they are the vehicle OF the circula-
ton of defamatoly statements which, if false
are essentially slanderous in their character and
which emanate from wholly irresponsible, il
not grayely reprehensible, sources. If, for i'll
stance. Bishop desirous of comprising the de-
feat of one of his clerical brethren, should print
and distribute through the mails the letter Of
an utterly irresponsible woman, whose past
career, 50 far as it is known to the public, is
presumptiye evidence that she is not competent

culation. They must invest their money in fast
steamers which will be aided by the Postal Sub

Of the South. They must study the market OF
the $4,000. 900 as critically as the home mar
,et Of SO. 600. 900, and understand the cOndi-
tions of competition as thoroughly. They can,
if they will. obtain $4,000 900 of the for
eiCn trade of the South, but it is something
that they will have to work for. There is al
together too much eush about Reciprocity and
far too little real, earnest and intelligent effort
to profit by great policy.

The convicted murderer commonly known as
"Frenchy" received yesterday the sentence TO
life Imprisonment which was inevitable under
the finding of the jury. Some fault has been
found with the jury for the verdict which they
rendered, and the prisoners counsel ainrmed
yesterday that it should have been murder in
the first degree or nothing Recorder Smyth'
however, expressed decided dissent from this
opinion, and declared that the jury had reached
as correct a conclusion on the evidence as could
have been arrived at. We see no reason to
complain Of the result of this remarkable trial.
In any case of purely circumstantial evidence
there is room for doubt, and the jury gave the
prisoner, rightly we think, the benefit Of this
doubt The case was well managed both by
the police detectives and the District-Attorney
and the outcome is all that could reasonably
have been expIted.

In Indiana the hay crop is better; and In Illinois

VORTH COMPETING FOR.

Arguments for the extension of American
trade with Southern countries are sometimes
met with the objection that the home market is
large enough, and that the commerce of sparse
ly populated territories which consume very
little foreign produce is not worth competing
for. The home market is large enough to be
protected against the raids of European manu-
facturerS and undergrad labor. 1t is the best
market on earth, and Americans, who have
been for seventy years taking in and support
ing the surplus population of Europe, have an
inalienable right to have it reserved for their
benefit. 1t is not a market however that
suf1ices for the industrial requirements Of a
population Of over 8,0O0,0 OO comprising the
best working stock in the world. On this con-
tinent alone there are hives of population, near
ly equal in numbers to our own, as Is shown in
the following table:
