the recently inauGurated movement for
a better observance, in this section, of
the Sunday laws will result in civil
war among liquor dealers. When asked
to cooperate with the ministers in this
law and order agitation, the leading ho.
tel proprietors Of Scranton readily con-
sented; but stipulated, as was natural
under the circumstances, that the effort
to close tho bars should be general.
Inasmuch, however. rs there is uncer-
tainty as to whether the Sunday clos

this report be true it is easy to foresee
period of much liveliness in liquor
selling circles.
Thus far it deserves to be sail that
the promoters Of the closing movement
have acted with fairness and conserya-
tism. There has as yet been no dispo-
sition to emulate the extreme measures
which, in numerous other cities, have
brought other Sunday-cloSing move
ments into general disfavor. Mer-
chants and retail dealers accustomed
heretofore to accommodate Sunday
patrons have been politely requested to
give the movement their volunteered
support; and in very large majority
of instances they have cordially con.
sented. The aim has been to accom-
plish necessary results by mild, reason.

aim seems to be in fair way to reali-

But, of course, there is need of a
show OF vigor in certain directions, and
one of these directions leads to the
hack door Of the hole-in.the. wall.
Moral suasion is invariably lost on the
keeper of this kind Of drinking place.

The Case Plainly Stated.

The exact situation with reference TO
Senator Cameron may bs stated in n
very few words Ifthe Republicans of
Pennsylvania do not want him to be
reelected, they should be permitted to
say so, without further delay. 1t is
the sorriest kind Of argument to claim
that the raising of the Cameron issue"
in state senatorial districts may jeop-'
ard the chances Of one or two Republi-
can factiouists who hope to shin
through this coming contest without
declaring where they stand.
The Republican party is not so hard
up for state senator's that, in order to
save few shaky districts and to please
a few frightened factionists it must
pledge itself to breathe no syllable
Of honest conviction with reference to
either of its federal senators. The
great majority of Republican voters
in this commonwealth believe that the
party is not properly represented in the
United States senate by j. Donald
Cameron. They have ceased 10 trust

rather to distrust him, and they pro
pose to say 80 like men.

ous treatment which cody aud utterly
ignores it. The day has passed when
Cameronism can crack the whip of
silence over covering and shivering
voters. Nowadays the people are out
for recognition and they do not intend
to miDce matters in informing the old
timers that they intend to get it.

Tha chain on bicycle is unloubted
ly the most agravating portion of a
bicycle mechanism and causes a rider
more discomfort by its noisy screech,
ing action than half dozen other poor
working parts would. This ie usually
caused by the riders neglect to keep
the chain properly cleaned, the maj or-
ity giving bnt little attention to thi
very important portion Of the driving
gear beyond the use of the comm n oil
can. This continual use Of oil works
tina dirt and gun in around the pins
which connect the links and causes the
chain to run hard and in time, when it
becomes dry, will create u grinding
sound which eventually becomes n
screech. The writer was bothered
with hard running chain for some
time and no amount Of lubricant had
the desired effect, when from some
source or other came the idea that if
the chain was boiled down in tallow it
would run free and without noise.
The suggestion was tried aud proved 80
beneficial that every two or three

and w heelmen

From a local racing point of view
the Fourth of July meet will certainly
be an enthusiastic success and bring
out n larger number of racing men
than has been recorded during the
time since Scrantoniaus first began
cycling All OF the riders who have
showed speed in road riding have
avowed their intentions of going in
training for the track just as soon as
the weather permits. aud many are i'm
proving the present time by doing
light gymnasium work, thereby get
ting their muscles in excellent shape to
begin actual track training. The few
riders who made their entire into the
racing world last year will be found
preparing themselves for greater
successes, and they will have
no small amount Of work to
do in order to retain the
lsures they have already won for
among the new riders there will be
some very fast ones. In fact they are
riders who have tested their speel on
the track and havo shown that without
training their pace was hot one and if
improved, which diligcnt training
would certainly do, they would be
found among the first to cross the tape.
The dealers are also taking lively in
tersst in the local cracks and are en-
deavoring 10 make arrangements with
their firms to forward them light rae =

THE ORDINANCE taxing transient
retail merchants $500 u month, which
has passed select council on second
reading, is, of course, designed to break
up street hawking and vending. No.
one will imagine that any travelling
curbstone salesman will pay $500 II
month or any considerable fraction Of
$500 for a license to pursue his msager
trade in freedom from legal Interrupt
tion. 1t is n first impression that this
tax is excessive and unjust; and, indeed.
later reflection does not much alter
this opinion Nevertheless. it ia only
