A BIG CYCLING TRIP.
Around the United States from sar

Around the United States from San
Francisco on a Wheel.
Monday forenoon Charles Rush,
sporting editor of The San Francisco
Chronicle, rode into town on his RE
lance" bicycle. He is making COM
plete tour around the United States by
wheel, having left the Golden Gate on
July 20, last. He is taking the trip for
pleasure solely, and not on a wager,
although when leaving he said he
would be back by January 81, next,
and he expects to be able to do SO.
Mr.. Rush travels son his nerve" not
having cent when he started and
agreeing not to have ally money when
he returns. He relies upon the hos
pitalitY of the newspaper craft and
athletic organizations to take care Of
his needs. During his short stay here
Mr. Rush entertained THE REPUBLICAN
force by relating some of the interest
ing incidents of his travels, and it must
be said he has been extremely lucky
in not meeting with any serious acct
dents or encounters thus far. His
route from San Francisco was not
direct one. and already the indicator
on his wheel shows he has travelled
nearly 10000 miles. Mr.. Rush keeps
an accurate memorandum of his jour
neyings and the same are regularly
chronicled in graphic manner in the
paper be represents. Up to his arrival
here his itinerary had taken him over
the following route: From San Fran
cisco to San Jose, San Joaquin, Tulare
Lake and Delano, Cal; over the hills
of the Sierra Nevadas to Olanella,
thence to Death Valley and over the
San Juan desert to Cottonwood in
Arizona; thence to Lees Ferry, Castle
Vail, Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah
over the Rockies to Cheyenne, Wyo.;
north through the Black Hills in Mon
tana and over the Bad Lands to Miles
City; thence through North Dakota
along the Northern Pacific railway to
Fargo; thence to st. Paul and Winona,
MIMI, and across the Mississippi to
La Crosse; thence to Elroy, Madison
and Watertown.
Mr.. Rush took dinner here and de-
parted at o'clock for Mil waukee. He
expects to be in New York two weeks
after leaving Chicago, and from there
his course will be south to Florida, and
then west to Texas, Mexico and home

THE READY INJUNCTION.

"lnjunctions" are handy things to
keep in stock, but those who use them
may be made to realize that at times
they may become boomerangs or two.
edged swords. Mr.. Hefferlin of Park
county, who let's the buildings for
county offices at Livingston, successfully
invoked an injunction to prevent the
construction Of a proposed county court
house. Now comes an indignant citizen
and e%njoins the commissioners from pay
ing Mr.. Hefferlin any more rent. The
ground Of the proceeding is that the
gentleman has already been paid $lO,CCo
in rentals and that the constitution pro-
hibits the commissioners from appropri-
ating more than $4,000 for any one pur-
pose. The point involved is a fine one,
but no matter which way it ia decided
the action demonstrates the general util-
ity Of an injunction when a man cannot
be reached any other way.

THE DAVIS

The heirs and alleged heirs and would
he heirs OF the late A. j. Davis, the
Butte millionaire, have gotten together,
reached a compromise, divided the
spoils, and taken the matter out of the
courts. In a case like the Davis contest
a settlement is always preferable to a
tedious aud expensive litigation. All
sides make money by it. This compro-
mise, however, presents a curious feat
ure. In making tho "dlvy" only those
who had entered the lists as contestants
were awarded any share, and several
brothers and sisters of the deceased
were left out in the cold; 80 also was
Thomas Jefferson Davis, a natural son,
whose identity and ~parentage is ad-
mitted by all concerned. In the light of
these facts it may be possible that the
compromise will not compromise, and
that the disposition of the estate is still
q long way off.

shaped their individual course to that
end, neither of them has directly
announced his candidacy. Now there
ia another Richmond in the field and ne
is not troubled with modesty. This
latest candidate is Senator elect Stephen
B. Elkins of West Virginia. and he
claims to have the support of Il number
of the leading eastern republicans. Mr..
Elkins is a man of ability, but he is
also a machine politician Of the most
aggravated type. and has trotted in the
revenue class. Both his public and
his business career have an unsavory
smell which is so rank that it hardly
seems ossible any convention would
have the temerity 10 nominate him.
Still he is an expert manipulation and
has great wealth, and these will have a
potent influence on the boodlers who
will control the convention if Elkins is
a candidate IN earnest. Other candi-
dates may have been as objectionable,
but no one of them has been so brazen
in his defiance of public morality as this
man, and his nomination would be an
affront to the good name of the nation.

Dick Burns, elevator boy, slightly
burned; Helen Caesar, clerk, overcome by

window and both men, grasping a sign
which extended across the building just
below the third story window, swung of

we're taken down by the tiremen. The
loss on the building was $4,000 and OF
the stock $4,000.

just organized in New York. 1t is in the
nature of an alliance between the West
inghouse and the General Electric com
panies. The stock and the bonds of the
two concerns aggregate S53,00O,OOO. This
is a large sum and the effect of ~ DEAL
will be to place the users of electric ap-
planes at the mercy of the corporation,
for between them they enjoy a monopoly
of all that are valuable. The capitalists
who are in the scheme announce that
the two corporations have not been
merged, but will continue to do business
each on it's own hook, but they
that an arrangement has been entered
into by which prices have been fixed and
that all customers will have to abide by

WHERE ARE WE At!

According to the opinion of Attorney
General Haskell the spring election in
the cities will have to be held under the
provisions Of the general municipal in
corporation act as it existed IN 1898. 1t
will be remembered that after b codes
were adopted it was found that the chap
ter relating to municipal corporations
was so faulty that the mayors and other
officials of the large citi as rushed to Hell
ena, held a convention there and patched
up hurriedly a series Of amendments
that it was considered would, in q meas
ure, overcome the most serious objec-
tons. The bill making the amendments
was PASSED with a hurrah and the OH
cials returned to their homes with the
consciousness of duty we'll performed.
Now it seems their labor Vas IN vain.
The act as it passed the Legislature was
80 faulty in its construction that it does
not show VIVA it was intended to amend
and conseque thy it cannot be construed
as amending anything. The loss Of this
bill is not much Of a calamity, yet it goes
to emphasis the lac. that the amer
IN which the codes and the amendments
thereto were adopted vas simply a satire

VERDICT Of NOT GUILTY
Twelve Good Men and True Clear
George Seifred Of the Terrible
Charge Against Him.
The Jury Was at First Divided
How the Defendant Received
the News.

The trial of George Seifred on a
charge of incest brought against him by
his 16 year. old sister, Ada M. Seifred,
came to an end Wednesday in the district
court, when the jury brought in a yer.
dict of not guilty, thus clearing Mr..
Seifred of the terrible charge under
which he has rested.
After listening to the instructions of
the court and the pleas of the counsel
the jury retired this morning to deliber.
ate on the evidence and the verdict. As
the hours slipped away and they did not
return the impression began to prevail
that the result would be a disagreement.
This impression grew stronger
when the jury several times
sent for the etenographer to read to them
portions of the evidence. 1t was about
four o'clock in the afternoon when they
announced that they had arrived at a
verdict, and the sheriff went after the
prisoner and brought him into court to
hear his fate declared. He was evident
ly laboring under considerable nervous
strain although he observed the same
stoical manner which has characterized
him during the trial. But his face
showed a tinge of pallor through it's
brown as the court asked the clerk who
took the verdict to read its contents.
After listening to the words that made
him a free man and lifted from his name
a black stain of diehonor, the defendant
shook hands with anumber of his friends
and left the court room with his attor-
neys for Lawyer Cooper's office. Before
he reached it, however, his feelings broke
through the repression which he had
hitherto put on them in public. at least,
aud he broke down and cried like a
child.
A TRIBUNE reporter learned from one
of the jurymen that on the first ballot
the jury stood seven to five in favor of a
verdict of guilty. After talking over the
matter for some time a number of the
jury who at first favored the verdict of
guilty came to the conclusion that there
were elements of reasonable doubt in the
case which the accused was entitled to
benefit by, and finally all of the seven
who at first voted for the verdict of
guilty came over to the same view of the
case and the verdict of not guilty was
agreed on, thus ending one of the NEST
sensational cases ever tried before the
district court of this county.

| elish manufacturers and landlords W
ing agricultural lands are taking active
interest in bimetallism and the greater
use of silver. They are realizing fully
that Argentine. Australia, the East In

silver basis, forcing their labor to accept

Equally as prominent and as we'll

ury under President Harrison. In an
interview in Chicago the general en-
phatically says the next president must
be a man who is sin fact and whole
heartedly a persistent advocate of a
genuine and speedy restoration Of bi.
metallism." He attributes the great de-
preston to the decentralization of silver
and says: "What is true in the mass is
true in detail. The farm, farm products,
the city building, the village home, about
everything that we have been accus-
toned to think of as real wealth except
gold has been for years under this by
draulic press. With values of every
thing but gold steadily declining to
meet the new order of things, business
enterprise has teen forced to face a fall
ing market and new undertakings, how
ever meritoriols. have been compelled
to wait. For a like reason the financial
credit-the borrowing power of ever sol
vent men everywhere has diminished
from the known fact that their existing
assets were sure TO be worth less a month
hence than today. A similar logic has
prevented everybody from buying any
thing except necessaries and disabled all
from selling" In another place he says:
"The appalling condition of England's
land owners, farmers and small trades
men is at last influencing English states

Attorney General Olney IN his argu-
ment before the United States supreme
court Monday in the ID BIS habeas cor
pus case laid especial stress upon the al
legged violation by the defendants of the
interstate commerce. law. The solicitude
Of the attorney general in behalf of this
law and his effort to invoke it as against
Debs at this time has in it an element of
appropriateness. The law was passed
to protect the public against the combi-
nations and encroachments of the rail-
road corporations, but though there have
been numerous occasions given by the
corporations to test it's efficacy, Mr.. o.
ney and his department seem to have
forgotten that it was upon the statute
books. Railroad pools, combines and
determinations have lourished in the
teeth of the law and no one has opposed
the weight of officisl authority to pre-
vent them, except in a few isolated and
minor cases the interstate commerce
commission has interviewed, though at no
time has 1t struck at the root of the evil.
Not only in the operation of the inter
state law, but also in the antitrust law
has Mr.. pIney been c~onspicuously dere.
lict. He has looked on calmly and seen
the sugar trust and the whisky trust and
the other great trusts violate the law
and has had nothing to say, in fact by
his inaction he has become an accessory
to their illegal conduct. Now, however,
the eminent gentleman has made the
alarming discovery that the interstate
law was made Just to fit the cases of
Debs and his alleged fellow conspirators.
He may be and is probably right in his
statement that they violated the statute,
but he will have a hard time in convin-
cling the public that the railroad corpora
tons and general managers have not
been openly and Systematically doing
the same thing, and he can never satisfy
any honest man that the law was not
specifically enacted to apply to the com
panies and not the employees.
