Some curious facts are brought into
prominence by correspondent of Cycling,
who has been at the pains to draw up q
comparative table of the rates of speed In
different modes of locomotion. The ex-
press train, of course, stands preeminent.
Many have as yet discovered no faster way
of getting about on the earths surface. 1t
will be a surprise, however, to many to
learn that the safety bicyie, of which SO
much Is heard nowadays, only occupies in
this list the seventh place. This fastest
time in which train has been known to
travel mile is 4o seconds and fraction;
to accomplish the same distance the fastest
bicyclist who has hitherto ridden took an
minutes, or just about three times as long.
An Ice yacht has travelled mile in one
minute and ten seconds; running horse
in one minute and 3sH teconds, a torpedo
boat in one minute and so seconds, a steam
yacht In two minutes n seconds, and a
fraction. and skater on the ice, with
favorable wind behind hin,in two minutes
I, seconds and rsther large fraction. A
little way after the safety bicycle comes
the ocean liner The oarsman Is much
slower, taking FIVE minutes and 40 seconds
to travel mile, and slowest of all Is the
swimmer, who requires very little short Of
half an hour 70 perform the same journey.

There Is but one course for democrats
Ia the state senate to pursue in the matter
of contested seats, as there is but one right
and honest course.
They have the power to unseat proper
iy elected republicans, but they have no
right to do SO. They can refuse, in in
vestigating contested seats, to admit evil
dence essential to just decision, but II
they do so they commit grievous wrong.
1t is bad politics thus to misuse power,
and 1t is something worse than bad politics.
1t Is bad morals as well. The fact that It
has been done by republicans In no way
justifies Its doing by democrats.
The temptation of party whose major
ity Is slender to lean little towards its
own advantage In deciding contest cases Is
strong. So much the more reason for
care in avoiding 1t.
The democrats have rightful control OF
both branches of the legislature. In that
the political opinion CT the state Is reflect
ed. 1t Is for them to use their power in
such fashion as to retain the confidence
of the people. They should unseat no re-
publican member except upon the cleares'
prsof of fraud In his election.-New York

A Bu6LE CALL.

Ex-Prsident Cleveland. in the
speech. delivered at the business mems
banquet in.New York on Jackson's Day.
calls upon all those who are true Jacksonian
democrats not TO heed the Hill cry Of retreat.
This speech is one of the greatest Mr. Cleve-
land has ever delivered, elevated in tone,
broad in spirit, strong and forcible in Ian
guage. and permeated throughout with
that honesty, directness and courage which
have made Cleveland the most admired and
beloved leader of his party. The Meas
gives this speech place in the editoria
columns because within the democratic
party today there are advocates of two dis
tinct lines of policy, and that which the
News supports is set forth clearly in Mr.
Cleveland's speech. 1t may be of interest
in this connection to note this fact: that
there are.but three papers of prominence
in the United States which support the Hill
plan of campaign-the New York Sun,
Denver News and Atlanta Constitution.

THE BEST PAvEMENT.-The coming
great question with Albany is that Of
the pavement of First street from the
bridge to the Albany Iron Works. When
we pave we want the best pavement.
The following g,i Is NJ from the . Scientific
best pavement for city traffic is one with
an Is inch concrete foundation, overlaid
with inch plank flooring, thoroughly
covered with asphalt on both sides, and,
on top Of these, cedar blocks set on end,
with half inch joints filled with beach
pebbles and asphalt. It gives a sure
footing for horses, is comparatively
noiseless and easily kept clean, and can
be repaired in places without interrupt
ing traffic or breaking the rest Of the
