JOHN JOHNSON IS THE KING
HE MADE THE FASTEST MILE OF ANY BICYCLIsT lN THE WORLD.
Paced by Quadrupiet and Clad In Heavy Black Tights and Two Sweaters flo Never Budxed From His Position- Each Quarter was ChrckoI.


 Black Tights and Two Sweaters flo Never Budxed From His Position Each Quarter was chsckoI.
 Buffalo, Oct. 24.-John s. Johnson this | afternoon rode a mile on a bicycle in the unparalleled time of :35 2-5. almost fourteen seconds faster than any sin | gle rider has ever covered the distance In the world, six seconds faster than any tandem has ever negotiated the distance, and one-tenth of a second faster than the worlds record for run ming horses-1:S5h. made by Salvador on a straight track at Monmouth Park, N. J., August 2S. 1890.
 | Johnson rode the course In heavy black tights and two thick sweaters, which tended to impede the free play of his muscles. But even with these impediments Johnson never budged from his position at the rear of the quadruplet, and when he crossed the finish line his front wheel was lapped on the rear wheel of the big machine. Electric timing arrangements were pro- vided and each quarter was checked at both start and finish, so that there can be no doubt of the accuracy of the per formance.
 | Johnson appeared on the course at about o'clock and rode about half a mile back of the start. The quadru- plet started from this point at lively rate, Johnson hugging the rear wheel and riding as if he had plenty left for the finish. The five riders dashed over the tape with the report of the pistol Johnson tapping on the quadruplet They were going at terrific clip The first quarter was covered in 21 2-5 sec onds, crowding closely the best record for thoroughbred horse for the same distance. This was on the down grade quarter. In the second quarter, which was up hill. they went the distance ir 25 2-5 seconds. making the half in 46 4-5, four-fifths of second closer thar the half-mile record held by the Cali. fornia lilly Geraldine.
 When they struck the level course Johnson urged the quadruplet men tc their best and they made the third quarter in 25.
 Callahan and Seavey, on the quad. ruplet, showed signs of distress at the pace and were inclined to slow up, but words of encouragement from Johnson caused them to rally, and from the third quarter to the goal they wen very fast, beating the time for the sec ond and third quarters. The time fol the three-quarters of & mile was A. tslower than the three e-quarters~ mad, by Domino this fall. The pace in tht stretch was wonderfully fast and wher the quadruplet crossed the line Johnson was a short foot behind the rear vince and riding as if he had been out fol an exercise heat.
 The official time was 1:35 2-5. l Several club riders made the time 1:35 flat.
 Johnson said after dismounting that he finished well within the limit of his powers and felt confident that he could do mile in 1:30. He will make the effort over the same course tomorrow
 The quadruplet team was made up ot Callahan, first; Seavey, second; Pat. rick O'Connor. third: and W. A Rhodes. fourth.

SENATOR BRICE, of Ohio, has just
received the nomination, for re-elec-
ton to the United States Senate. AL
though he was fiercely denounced by
the Democratic members of the Con-
vention, for selling out the party, in
the Sugar Trust deal in the Tariff Bill,
he simply sat still and said nothing.
With the aid of the Sugar Trust,
whose cause he managed in the Sem
ate. he had carefully creased the ways,
so that a majority of the Convention,
moved silently and surely to the point
of his nomination. He will, like n
many others of this type of men, have
his day, but the end comes sooner or
later, because the appetites of those
who feed on "boodle" always grows.
and is Unsuitable.

in political affairs. These men
have many grave responsibilities,
and, no doubt, have many anxious
moments, in the ups and downs OF
the sugar business, so that they
are inclined to leave to others the
worry and bother of dealing with
political questions. They are bus
mess men, and the average bust
ness man never cares to study up
subjects which do not immedi-
ately concern him. His mind Is
fixed on the bird in the hand. Be-
sides, the lives Of the planters are
rather isolated, so that the noise
and shouting of those who are at
the "centers," are not distinctly
heard. Nor, are the planters states
men, because real statesmen do not
make it a business to run sugar
and coffee plantations, but work
out the problems of social, indus
trial, and political development.
In a social condition like that
which exists here, where all sorts
of race, and economic questions are
very troublesome, a lack of know
ledge or the want of careful study
of these questions, -is unfortunate,
as any one may see, if he will read
politicaH history, and its unvarying
record of the plumbers of communi-
Ties, that stumble along, and grope
in the dark, without light, because
light is not really sought.
The planters are permitting
things to drift along, here, and in
some cases, are doing very unwise
things, because they do not see the
drift. They forget that political
affairs are controlled at the "cen-
ters," where men are active, and
know how to organize. Fouche,
great Minister OF Police,
said that, for many months, all
France was controlled, during the
of 1893, by one hun
dred common but shrewd men, in
Paris, because they knew just what
they wanted, and knew how to or
yanize for it.
"Sugar" is the goose in Hawaii,
hat lays the golden eggs for every
body. But they who own the goose,
and get most of the eggs, may, ig-
norantly, kill it. Such thing hes
a thousand times before.
We only make suggestions now. 1t
nay be we'll to talk more plainly,
hereafter.

THE ROYALIST DIET.

Oceanic I was teo GOOD to c9rof S
the conscious-stricken Oligarchists.
1t is to the effect that a tele-
graphic dispatch had been received in
San Francisco, as the steamer was
about sailing, declaring that it was
the intention of the American Admin
istration to restore the monarchy, and
that probably for that purpose the
Philadelphia was under orders to pro-
coed to Honolulu. The passengers and
others substantiate the statement

Those who are really thinking
about the future of the Republic,
and about the way some of the per-

see that there is some serious dam

Mr.. CLEVELAND.

The statements made By Mr.
Harold Sewall, of Maine, in his re-
cent speech, that President EleXe'
land was Influenced or controlled
by "the Sugar Trust conspiracy
In taking his attitude on the Ha'
waiian matters, we do not believe
The supporters of the Republic and
their friends, in the States, have
reason for feeling bitterly toward
Mr.. Cleveland, because he failed to
understand or appreciate their mo-
tives, in the matter of the revolu-
ton /; but nothing is gained, and on
the other hand, much may be lost,
if the friends of the Republic fail to
understand Mr.. Cleveland's action,
and unjustly censure him. 1t is
the curse of public life today, in
every country, that good and hon
est men are forever calling other
good and honest men "rascals," be-
cause they don't agree with them
in politics, and charge them
with acting from impro-
per, mercenery and contemp-
tible motives. This miserable
method of looking at public men,
keeps decent, ambitious, but sensi-
tive men out of public life, and
does infinite harm.
Thousands of able, upright, edu-
Gated, shrewd men, in the States,
who stand aside from the political
parties, believe Mr.. Cleveland to be
a thoroughly honest man, but adj
NIT that he may be, and is, often
mistaken in his judgment of facts,
just as all other men are constantly
in error about facts. We believe
that Mr.. Cleveland was in great er-
ror in his final judgment about our
political matters, but the way he
came to fall into error is not yet
fully known, beyond this, that ne,
while oppressed with many per-
picking home matters, which con-
,umed every moment of his time,
came to quick and not
vell-considered judgment re-
yarding our matters, on the
strength of statements made by
men, in whom he had confidence,
md who, in a measure, betrayed
him. General Grant, during his
erm of presidential office, was con-
sanity so betrayed, and did unjust
md unwise and foolish things. In
selecting Mr.. Blount, for the exam
nation, to be made here, Mr.. Cleve-
and was unfortunate. But, is
here a grown man living, vino can |
ay that in his own selection of |
gents to do his work, he has not |
,een time and again deceived? /
Mr.. Cleveland is positive man,
Is some of Us well know. who have
lad many dealings with him, before
ven his first presidency, and he
ften seemed to be very cantanke-
ous" and troublesome, but he was
merely honest. He believed,
1hen he took Office last year, that
he revolutionists here were lot of
ascals. He does not think so now.
he supporters of the new Govern
lent believed that he acted from
nworthy or corrupt motives, in
restoration. They find,
: will find, that he did not so act.

the rose bugs. 1t seems to the
casual observer that some
thing else might be tried
while the public is waiting fo1
the frogs to multiply and
watching the foliage disap-
pear from view. So far the
frogs are not in it with the
bugs or even adjacent there
unto. A gentleman from the
Coast suggests that the King
Bat be imported as an expert
ment and we do not see why
it would not be a successful
one. The cunning rose bug
does it work at night when
birds and chickens are at rest;
the bat spends it's days in
sweet repose and gets it's liv-
ing after dark. Just how
prolific the bat is we do not
know but it is a hungry
thing that might make it's in
auence felt on the bugs. Give
it a trial Mr.. Commissioner of
Agriculture and if it is a sue
cess a laurel wreath will be
yours.
The introduction of wind
mills other than the Aermotor
seems to have given an i'm
petus to the windmill bust
ness that was rather unexpect-
ed. It is probably because
the people here known what
the Aermotor is and they are
unacquainted with other MAX
es. When the Aermotor was
introduced people were a lit
tie backward about trying it |
because it was an experiment; !
now that we have a hundred |
or more in use the public looks
upon it as a staple just the
same as sugar or salt. They
know what it is before buying
it and they know what work
the mill will do before it is
placed in position. An adj
the Aermotor has
over other mills is the fact
that the larger ones are gear
ed and will operate pumps
that an ordinary mill will not.
The geared mill will also work
4 saw, a grindstone and a feed
cutter and dear knows what
not. No other mill will do
his and for that reason the
Aermotor is better buy than
any other mill. Compared
With a steam engine it Will
10 the same work without the
expense of fuel or a man to
attend it. There is scarcely a
place on the Islands where
here is not wind enough to
'un an Aermotor twenty-four
hours a day. It's like interest
it works while you sleep;
md it never lets go. If we
lad a side of this paper in
tead of a column we could
some testimonials
hat would open your eyes to
he merits of this wonderful
Iachine. Experimenting has
nade it perfect; no mill could
e invented that will ap- u
roach the Aermotor in any Y
aspect.
