The military cyclist ia really an in.

The military cyclist II really an in
fantry man on temporary wheels, for
when engaged in fighting he dismounts
from his machine, places his cycle on the
ground, or hides II somewhere while he
fights on foot.
Last Easter regiment on wheels
proved of great service in the mannuvrcs
of Dover, and gained the recommendation
of the military authorities. The Calling
gun was used aud carried for the first
time by the corps during these man
muvres. The weight of the gun Is
ninety-sevcn pounds, and the ammuni-
tion was carried in eases for the purpose.
The gun was transported to and from on
n gun carriage composed OF four safety
bicycles coupled together and ridden By
four men. An ambulance was also car
ricd in this way, aud on n smooth rond II
could be tukcn along at speed Of about
ten miles an hour.
Captain Eustace Balfour, Of the Lon.
don Scottish Regiment of Volunteers,
gives the following estimates Of the costs
of n mount of cavalry in proportion to
that of cyclist infantry. The cyclist in
fantry: Cost Of cycle, per man, $50,
life oi cycle, say six years, therefore
cost per annum, $40; repairs, oil, etc,
say $50; total cost per nnnum, SIS.
Cavarp: Cost of horse, Sl75; useful
like, say seven years. therefore cost pei
annum, S2j; maintenance, $500; total
cost per annum, S225.
Thus IL will he observed that the cycle
is much the cheaper Of the two. Another
thing, cycles are much more easily car
ricd by rail than horses; and with re.
gard to the staying powers of the cyclist
and the horse, the cyclist has it long
way.
Great distances have been covered by
military cyclists in short space of time.
The record is held by twelve members
OF the "Artists" Volunteer Cyclst Corps.
Last year they rode n distance of 1Oi
miles in sixteen hours and iifty-liv'
minutes, fully armed, and out OF thii
time they were forced 20 halt five hour,
owing to an accident, making the actual
time occupied in riding the distance .
little over twelve hours.
Cycles, too, are noisclcss, and, an
other thing, cyclists can creep along o,
the roads behind the hedges unseen,
whereas men mounted on horseback can
not, except when the hedges are very
high, and then il the roads become dry

the enemy are made aware that cavalry

shorter than the ordinary foot soldier
but he still keeps plodding on at ~
rate ol about eight or ten miles an hour
and is likely to reach his journeys end

on horseback.
Carrying dispatches, sllirmishing, and
rcconnotrcing are the chiei duties o
military cyclists, and owing TO the long
distance which they are able to covcr in
"A short space of time they arc likely to
prove OF great service in performing

THE cardinal principle of the
republican party Is protection, or
class legislation. Under the adj
ministration of this party, the pro-
tected classes have added, aud con-
hnue to add TO their fortunes by
gradually sapping the life--blood,
as it were, from the unprotected
class. The democratic party see,
lug and realizing the injustice of
such legislation. declared itself in
favor of equal rights to all, special
favOrs to none, and unalterablY OPP
posed to any law that would benefit
one class by detracting from the
interests of another. Such are the
principles of true dem ocracy to-
day. But there are those, who,
claiming to be in favor of equal
rights, are endor sing the demand
for the government to establish sub
treasures, and that money shall be
issued directly to the people at a
low rate of interest on non-perisha>
bic farm products and also upon
real estate. Such a principle is
undemocratic, and law passed in
accordance Herewith would be a
great injustice 10 thousands of far
mers, for there are thousands who
till the soil and own neither land
nor non perishable farm products.
From such a law, the widow, with
fatherless children, who owns only
life estate In a home stead and
dover and two horses, could derive
no benefit. Her two horses would
not be on-perishable farm products
and her interest in the homestead
and dover being only life tenure,
trust on the real estate given by
her would only be valid during her
life, therefore she cannot make
fee simple title. The govern ment
would net loan money on such i'm
certain security, Likewise, those
who own entailed real estate could
not derive any benefit from such a
law, for the title of such holders is
during life only. The farmer with
his thousands of dollars worth of
stock could not borrow one cent.
Other instances might be mentioned
to prove that such a law would not
only be undemocratic, but that 1t
would be favorable to some and
Against the interests of others of
the same class. All the revenue of
this government is derived from the
people, through the medium of
taxation. We repeat. it is unjust
to tax one class of people TO foster
the interests of another. For this
reason, democrats are opposed to
class legislation, which is republic
canism.
