PUT THE BRAKES ON.

The efforts now being made by the District
Commissioners to limit the speed of bicycles
in the streets of Washington will commend
themselves to all classes of the community,
those who plod along on foot as well as the
admirers of the silent steed. The real bicy-
clist, the man who rides for pleasure or on
business. does not want to tear through the
streets of a crowded city at a fire-engine gait,
and if he must '.scorch," the race track or a
quiet country road is the proper place on
which he can work off his superfluous
energy.
In this connection, it occurs to US, it would
be well for the Commissioners to amend the
ordinance requiring every bicycle to be
equipped with quick-actIon brake. There
comes a time in the history of most riders
when only brake stands between them and
sudden accident; when the failure or ability
TO Immediately check the wheels momentum
may mean a crash, often most serious in its
consequences. The brake adds but trifle to
the weight of the machine. and its operation
does not interfere with the pleasure or con-
venience of the rider. Nor should the Com
missioners allow the lamp regulation to be-
come obsolete by non-enforcement. A lamp
is a warning and a signal, and therefore a
necessity.
But cycling is great sport. May its vo-
taries never grow less.

in providing language for his invectives. and
when aroused. he is as caustic as gypsey
shrew. In the Fifty-third Congress the Hon
orable Tupper was Speaker, car, autoerat,
and promoter of laws. His word was better
than the American Constitution, and crook
of his finger was more powerful than the will
of his party.
But since the Democrats are in power the
Honorable Tupper has lost prestige. He is
no longer lord and master and, in
his own phraseology. big "Injun" Chief
He has nothing to boast of except his
tongue. his Presidential aspirations and his
personal appearance, all of which, fortunately
for Congress, are likely to remain. Without
him the House would be a maze of decorum,
and members would be bewildered for want Of
their scold. The Honorable Tupper may not
think so, but he is a necessity in Congress.
and his curtain lectures are as entertaining
as the buzz of bee. He is pickle and
pucker, and bitter and sour, and pepper and
seasoning for the various debates. Without
him the Record would be like meal with no
condiments, and for that reason the Honor
able Tupper Buncombe Reed, of Maine, can
not be spared, unless 1t be to preside as
Speaker of the cave OF winds, and
The TINES nominates him for that position.

BLACK SHEEP ON THE FORCE.

The Commissioners Of the District Of Co.
lumbia yesterday indicated themselves and
the intelligent citizenship of the city by going
over the technical findings of the trial board
and dismissing the ten policemen who were
connected with the disgraceful incident at the
Fat Mems Club.
Washington is not a scandal-loving COM
munity, and the shock of the recent expose
of Official misdemeanor is in proportion to
the unusual freedom which citizens of this
municipality have enjoyed from such New
York and Chicago experiences.
The police force of this city are easily on
par with that of any city in the country as to
efficiency and honesty. But black sheep have
strayed in and for the benefit of the whole
force it is just that these be singled out and
dismissed.
No honest policeman can fear the develop
ments which seem about to follow. and from
that fact it is believed that the force. as a
whole, is in favor of turning on the light.

THE HON. 7. B. REED OF MAINE

No one will deny the ability as public
speaker of the Honorable Tupper Buncombe
Reed nor dispute his title as leader of the
Republican wing Of the House. But those
who know him best often wonder how nature
could have combined such queer cross be-
tween a scold. a broken-voiced bassoon and
statesman. Wren the Honorable Upper
rises to address the Speaker his eyes roll up
ward, as if in alteration, his head drops back
his hands fall naturally into position of
piety, his face assumes an "Angel's preserve

more like Cambellite preacher than Re-
publican Congressman. And it is only when
his bassoon-like voice is heard that the audi
tor is disillusionized
oman In Congress presents more marked
want of dignity than the Honorable Tupper
Buncombe Reed. Ills form is obese ana un-
shapely; his legs are bowed and his walk

voice has the twang and nasal sound of a bass

gress, on all questions of political nature.

and from his eyes downward the Honorable

Congress has done much to make the

throughout the country for his ability to say
bitter and unpleasant things of his opponents.
