Memorandum for Debs and all woud-be imlta-
tors: Uncle Sam never bluffs

Higher Critic" Of the bicycle has arisen In
England He does not deny that the bicycle has
merits-indecd. with the army OF riders whose
members can be in almost every highway
and byway. II would be bold man who should
make the denial-but he does assert that the
vehicle as now constructed and operated Is not
faultess. On this point numerous bicyce-riders
Will unhcsltatlngly agree with him. one Of his
objections Is that the rider. II he meets a friend
cannot stop for friendly word unless both
dismount; another is that the cycllst must per-
force keep sharp eye his road and IL
therefore cut of from the enjoyment of the
scenery; third is that wheelmen are tempted to
hump themselves. literally. and thus become I'M
graceful and impair their health. There is force
In these charges: but the Higher Critics"
remedy will not find favor I'm the eyes Of many
who admit the validity of his objections. He
proposes a tricycle. with pneumatic tires ball
bearings and all the other modern improvements
In which he can jog leisurely along Crowded
he can find good hard road, chat with hs
neighbors and feast his eyes on the beauties OF
the landscape. The progressive cyclist Will set
this down as evolution backward and pronounce
its author hereto There will be no danger
of heresy trial. however nor Is II likely that
the pneumatic-tred tricycle. will ever attain
popularity save with old men and tlmid women.

REMOVING THE MASK.

The Labor Commissions Investigate ton
proves conclusively that whatever de-
preston may have occurred In the bust
ness OF the Pullman Car Company was
made up by the unequal cutting OF the
wages Of the workmen. The corporation
NAV have found contracts unremunera-
tive. but It took good care that the losses
should fall mainly on Its employees and
not on Its stockholders.

thropic institution, that conferred bene-
fits and blessings on all fortunate enough
to work for II. Is disproved by the testl-
mony OF the officers OF the Company

cation. but at least 1t will strip the mask
OF benevolence from grasping. selfish

THE coG-wHEEL REFEREE.

The referee In the McAuliffe-Griffo
fight has explained his decision. He ar
rived at II on wheels-not in his head
as some people supposed-but in his
hands. He says he had II wheeled
arrangement in each hand, and kept
tally OF the ppnchers' punches as they
were delivered. When McAuliffe gave
Critic a jab, lie pushed cog in his right
or left hand, as the case may have been,
and The wheels did the rest. When
Critic smashed McAuilffe in the jaw
or elsewhere, he pushed the Critic cog.
and the Critic wheel recorded the
smash. Then he added up the jabs and
smashes. drewsup a balance sheet and
made the award.
The gentleman with the wheels was
not the only person at the fight who
knew something about fighting. There
were about 5000 experts at the ring
side who looked on with careful inter-
est, but who didn't have wheels in their
hands. This multitude understood jabs

TO HIS CREDIT.

1t is charged by some intermeddling
critic that the sentence in President
Clevelands letter referring to the
Democrats who. like himself have
marked the places where the deadly
blight OF treason has blasted the coun-
ellis of the brave IN their hour of might"
is a plagiarism from Thomas Moores

Oh for tongue to curse the slave,
Whose treason. like a deadly blight

MIR. Cleveland that he did not acknowl-
edge his indebtedness to the poet for the

II the people are satisfied that Mr..
Cleveland is Il reader and student OF

more OF him than ever. Moore's poems
are humanizing, and the general belief
Is that there is very little poetry in our

A REVIVAL OF BUSINESS ,

The first day OF the new Tariff law
witnessed what has for some time been
an unusual scene at the Custom House.
There was rush OF business. and the
deputy in charge of withdrawal and
bonded warehouse goods was kept busy.
with an extra large force of assistants,
from the opening till the close of the
office. There were Ave thousand with
drawals of various classes OF goods.
while under the Mckinley law the
Withdrawals were from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred day.
This increased activity is regarded
as a certain indication of a general re-
vival of trade. and proves that the prin-
cipal cause OF the stagnation has been
the uncertainty that prevailed in regard
to the tariff question. The fact Is most
damaging to those who so long de-
layed action on the Tariff bill and sac
rnced the interests OF the country to
their own selfish and often corrupt OBJ

CONGRESS ADJOURNED.

Yesterday witnessed the adjournment
OF the second session OF the Fifty-thrd
Congress. and the closing scenes were
such as might have been expected from
the character of the session. The SEN

different to the public interests and so
neglected. of their duties, made con

Washington without waiting for the
formal adjournment and In neither

rum. But the outside attendance was
large and there was no attempt to dis
guise the satisfaction felt by the people
that the burlesdue on legislation was
over. at least for time.
The record of the session IL by no
means satisfactory. With "A large ma
jority in the House, and the Republican
ascendancy overthrow in the Senate.
the session opened with bright hopes for
the Democratic party. and with nat
tering prospect that the days OF heavy
taxation. of favored interests, OF the
corrupt influence OF Trusts and corpora
tions over legislation were at an end.
These expectations have been disappoint-
ed. Some progress has been made In the
cause of reform, it Is true. But Dem
ocratic incapacity has enabled the Re
publican minority TO block its way, and
Democratic treachery has compelled the
party to violate many of the pledges II
made to the people before election.
Worse than all, thu high character
heretofore borne by the Senate has been
destroyed by transactions that would
disgrace n New York Board of Aldermen,
and public men supposed to be honorable
and honest have. shown themselves ca
pable OF selling themselves for price.
The sugar scandal in the Senate OF the
Fifty third Congress will rank In history
with the salary grab. the Tweed ring and
the Doodle Aldermen. The session closed
