Owing, doubtless, to the high price of ad-
mission charged the bicycle tournament this last
week in the Madison Square Garden was not
very largely attended. But in other respects it
was successful. 1t was maned by no disagree
able incidents Or accidents, and the records made
by the competitors were most creditable. Every
wear the number of wheelmen increases, and if
our country roads were what they should be
there is every reason to believe that practically
all adults would become wheelmen.

The record OF hpbuilding in Ncw-England for
sol showed that the sailing-ship is hy no means
thing of the past even in this country. In
England the returns for the same year are even
more suggestive, the tonnage increase Of per cent
being all in sailing vessels Sailing vessels more
over, constituted % per cent of the total con-
struciion of 1891, against per cent in 1887. The
obvious lesson is that profitable field still cX-
lists for sailing ships, and that under certain con-
dtionS they are expected to compete successfully
with sIcnmern.

The great strike in the English coal trade is
an anomaly in one respect The immediate cf-
feet of stoppage Of work at the mines is rise
of prices by which the employers are directly
benefited Ordinarily the mine-owners correct
the evil of oyer-production by limiting the out
put and running the works on half-tima. The
miners who are deprived Of employment suffer
under these conditions from the attempt to dmn-
ish the supply and thereby TO raise prices. In
the present instance the miners have undertaken
6y their own action 10 curtail production in
order to prevent a general reduction of wages
based upon the low price of coal. The burden
Of cost for this strike will be shared by the
miners and manufacturing trades which are de-
pendent upon weekly supplies of coal. The en-
ployers temporarily are deriving large benefits

Yesterday four years ago the city of New York
was in the throes of the great blizzard, and at
one moment serious and widespread apprehen-
sions prevailed that the anniversary Of the event
would be signazed by recurrence of the I'M
welcome visitation. The blizzard, however, has
been considerable enough to leave our metropolis
outside the range of its route and has confined
the field of its operations, as far as the Empire
State is concerned, TO the northern portion there
Of 1t seems to have played havoc with the
traffic of the New orlS Central Railroad, and a
large number of trains between Buffalo and this
city are reported as having been stalled by snow
drifts.

The overwhelming victory of the ProgresSves
in the London County Council elections has been
for the last week one of the foremost topics OF
political discussion in the British capital; as well
it may have been. Many causes contributed to
the result, no doubt, but two of them are Of
supreme interest. One is that the people of
London, meaning the well-todo people, are tired
of the evils of landordism. large area OF that
city is owned by few enormously rch free
holders, who collect high rents but escape taxa
ton, the latter burden falling upon the tenants
This system is apparently now doomed and its
doom is Just. The other cause is, that the work
ing masses Of London have risen in the might
which suffrage confers in support of that party
which shows most inclination to legslate in their
behalf The Progressives have committed them
selyes to The trade-union view Of industrial at

Rev. Erl Hicks Hit IT.

This is what Rev. Irl Hicks said
about it.
s'About the 18th of March is always
a critical time. The vernal equinox
is about the crisis of its electrical eX
element within three or four days of
that date. a regular storm period is
central on the 9th, its day of greatest
violence being from that date to the
18th. These facts, added to the full
moon on the morning Of the 18th, in
dictate atmospheric and electrical dis
turbances of marked violence. Storms
of general rain and snow will result at
the same time, and a cold wave of
great intensity will spread eastward
and southwark from about 10th to 18th.
The 18th and 18th are dates upon and
touching which there will be sudden
change to very warm, attended by
electrical storms, and followed by
change of wind and sharp freezing up
to about the 18th.
A regular storm period is central on
March Goth, being within forty-eight
hours of the suns central bearing on
the equator. The moon is on the
equator also on the 21st. The equinox
of Mars, on April 10Th, will also bring
it's full disturbing power into play by
this time, SO that every warning given
for the period sth to 18th, will apply
with added force to the period 10Th and
23rd inclusive. Great gales on sea and
land must result upon about these
dates. They who are looking for an
open passage into warmer summer
weather, will find their hopes, and
perhaps other possessions, blighted by
frost between the 23rd and Goth. Plan
for the care of your stock and the pro-
lection Of early vegetation. Another
sudden change from cold to very warm
will occur Goth to 2Sth, with rain south
ward turning to snow in the far west
and north. The final dash of cold for
the month will follow, up to the 30th.
March will 60 out with rising tempera-
ture and the appearance of storms in
the west which will run into the open
ing days of April.

Iowa's Sumptuary Law Is Practi-

Iovva,s Sumptuary Law Is Practi-
cally Wiped Out of Existence.
Dies MONIES, To-, March.-The Iowa
prohibition law was practically wiped
out of existence today. The state SEN
ate this afternoon, by vote of q to
%, adopted the Catch bill, which allows
county option, each community being
given the right to settle the liquor
question for itself by elections to take
place not eftener than every five years.
The matter can be brought up only on
petition of one-fifth of the legal voters.
Three Republican senator's this after
noon voted with number of Demo-
Gratis in passing the bill. There is
little doubt that the measure will re-
.ceive the approval of Gov. Beies and
become statute. An acrimonious
debate preceded the final roll call, the
question at issue being as to on whom
rested the political responsibility for
the bill. The announcement of the
vote was received quietly but with
signs of relief by tho big audience
present.

More Victims of the Terrible Storm.
Terwald H. Onstadt and wife and
two sons were found OH the prairie
about miles south of their home on
Wednesday noon. Mr.. Onstad and
two sons were found under the wagon
box. which had been turned upside
down as protection-the father and
younger boy were dead, but the older
boy was alive and uninjured. The
mother was found dead about 80 rods
from the sleigh. Mr.. Onstad had been
at Milton on Tuesday, leaving his
young family at his fathers place,
about miles from his own, and when
he returned in the evening was taking
them home, when they were overtaken
by the storm. In order to protect the
children he turned the wagon box up
side down and crawled under it and
laid the boys down Oh a robe and then
laid on top of them, covering them
with his body and fur coat. Mrs. On
stad presumably tried to go to the
nearest house to get help. with the
above terrible result. Mr.. and Mrs.
Onstad were both about 80 years of
age, and leave large number of rela-
tives and warm friends to mourn their
unfortunate death. The remarkable
feature of this sad case is, that the boy
came through alive after having been a
prisoner from about p. m. Tuesday
night until IL m. on Thursday. The
team also remained near the victims,
but was NATURALIZATION Globe.
