Wheel riding is rapidly growing to be
one Of the family ply sician's favorite pre-
scriptions, and instead of going from hls
Office to tho corner drug store the patient
has instructions to go TO the bicycle store.

hand reads:

has found that bicycle riding will in most
instances cure insomnia; that it will often
restring n nervous wreck or drive out the
pain in creaking, rheumatic joints. DR.
Hood sometimes burns late oil in his men
tai workshop until his head is in a whr

goes into the basement, gets rid of his
whirl by taxing it down Jackson boule

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1892-09-24

The survivors of the Confederate
veterans who are now living in
Chicago propose to erect a monu-
ment to their dead in a favorable
place in that city, and in accordance
with that plan have sent out appeals
to the public to contribute to a fund
for that purpose. 1t will be inter-
esting to note what response is made
TO the appeal. The North gener-
ally comedies the right of the South
ern people to rear monuments to
those who fought for the destruction
of the Union, and it has generously
permitted them to place stones on
Northern fields to mark some his
torical act or spot. But it is some-
thing of an innovation to ask North
ern people to help erect in a North
ern city monument to those who
tried to destroy the North, and it is
not an innovation which loyal men
and women will be apt to find to
their liking.

Mrs. HARRIsoN's quick rally after
a third surgical operation is, as the
dispatches assert, sure indication
that she still has considerable
strength; but the improvement can
scarcely prove more than temporary.
Unless the diagnosis of her case
given out by the physicians was
radically wrong, her complete re-
covery is out of the question. There
will be changes in her condition
from time to time; but the patient
must inevitably grown weaker. 1t

TX ssI1IVolVed we would not have
heard word in favor of suppress
ing the facts. The elevator men
are the real prospectors in this
matter. The price of grain is de-
pendent on the supply and de-
mand. These ca mot be kept secret.
If they are not made public through
the channels which now convey
them they will find the light in some
other way. Undoubtedly it would
suit the Western spectators ii they
could buy at the present prices and
sell at a strong advance; but how
would such a course benefit the
farmer? The scheme is merely a
move OF Western spectators against
those in the East, and it will fail
miserably, and that before many
days.

THE progress of the national cam
paien, slow as it has been. is beginn
ing once more to disclose the fact of
previous Presidential years that the
States of New York and Indiana
will be the real fighting ground in
November. Enthusiastic Democrats
have been glibly talking OF carrying
enough Western States to win the
Presidency without the electoral
vote of New York, and some hope
full Republicans have been counting
on break in the solid South. But
with the exception of the electoral
votes which the Democrats will
gain in Michigan by reason OF the
change in the method of choosing
electors, and with the exception of
West Virginia, with offers a posi-
bility of Republican success, the
signs are rapidly growing that both
the West and the South will vote
substantially as they did in 1888.
There are very few if any clear
headed Democrats who entertain
any serious expectation of carrying
a single Western State outside of
Indiana on national issues. Nor is
there any shrewd Republican poll
tician who believes that any elector-
al votes can be had for Harrison in
the South outside of West Virginia.

The party which carries New
York and Indiana in November will
elect the next President, and it is
there that the real work of the cam
paign will be done by both parties.
Those States have uniformly voted
together for every successful Presi.
dental candidate during a genera
ton, with the exception of Hayes.
Their fifty. one votes in the Electoral
College are, in all likelihood, as
to the success of Mr.. Har-
rison or Mr.. Cleveland as they were
in 1888 and 1884, and there is no
spacious politician on either side
who honestly believes that there IS
any combination possible which will
elect either candidates without them,
and especially in Mr.. Cleveland's
case, without the vote of New York.
1t is upon those States that the
attention OF the county will be fixed
Turing the next seven weeks. In

he omits the tariff altogether.
