The New York World of Oct 16th published cartoon entitled, "In The Fourth District. Miles's Seventh Race on the Same Old Wheel" The picture represents race track. In the back ground is grand stand, we'll filled with spectators From the flagstaff on the cupola of the building floats streamer on which is inscribed Congressional Race" On the track in the foreground, Miles, without hat or coat and with shirt sleeves rolled p,is riding bicycle the front or steering wheel of which is . large silver or gold coin on which is inscribed ''In Doodle Trust" The cartoon, to say the least, is certainly 8 unique and clever one, and is so ludi- crous that it gives no offense to anyone; in fact it pleases Republicans as we'll as Democrats notwithstanding it was de- signed to please only Democrats. The Republicans are not only pleased with its comical features, but they insist that the cartoon will prove to be a good ad- vertisement for MT Miles. The NEWS is inclined to think that if the cartoon correctly represents the situation then MT Miles has good prospects for win ming the race. The distance from Twin Lakes to Washington ought to be cov- cred in 23 days (from the time that car toon was published) on that kind of a bicycle, especially by an experienced rider. The wheeling" is said to be uncommonly good this season, except in Canaan, and many predict that MT Miles will make good time on the road to Washington, especially in Fairfield County although right there is the forest (DeForest) which Mir Miles has to con- tend with and which two years ago stopped the bicyclist 956 votes this side of Washington notwithstanding the fact that in 1888 the bicyclist safely reached Washington, and 26 votes beyond, as at that time the obstacle in the pathway was the sea more (Seymour) than the forest DeF The wheel repre- sented in the cartoon seldom fails, but the tire is not pneumatic and it runs hard in sand, especially Canaan sand, and it may not reach Washington; but on Nov 9th we shall see what we shal zee.

An exchange says: Recently minister was heard to remark that a newspaper that told the truth could not be pecuniary suc- cess. The minister who will at all times and under any circumstances tell the whole truth about his members, alive or dead, might not occupy the pulpit more than one Sunday and in some cases might find it convenient to leave town. The press and the pulpit go hand in hand with the whitewash brush and pleasant words, magnifying little virtues into big ones. The pulpit, the press and the grave stone are the great saint-making tri- umvirate.
