The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1895-08-29

Everywhere and always it is the good, not the
evil, that should be emphasized and portrayed
In all our poetry and art. in all our literature,
let the best and highest thoughts and lmagl-
nations be brought to the front and the Inferior
be dropped out of sight. In all our business, in
all our social intercourse, in all our amuse-
ments, let the good be made prominent, let
heroic deeds and generous lives be known and
admired. and those of an opposite kind be
buried in the silence they deserve. 1t is the sun
which chases away the clouds, it is the truth
which dissolves error. it is goodness which ex-
tinguishes evil.-Philadelphia pa Saturday

sary to report single man for neglecting TO
keep his cell and cell furnishings in order.

reported if their beds are not neatly made up
their tinware shining like silver. floor nicely
swept etc. it speaks we'll for the orderness
and ceanly habits of the men confined here.

Four large pyramids of Irvine will be dis
played as a part of the penitentary exhibit at
the state fair, which will give an idea OF the
general appearance and quality of the twines
made, and by the side of them will be placed
dummies of life size, representing convicts in the
first, second and third grades. The front OF
the exhibit will be decorated with fancy work
of the fibres used in the manufacture of Irvine,
thus giving full and intelligent display.

uniform practice among the railroads In dealing
with this matter The majority OF them tolerate
bicycles to the extent that they will permit
wheelmcn to place their machines In baggage
cars, but will assume no responsibility for them.
On some roads a special tariff is arranged for
wheels. and checks are placed on them, the COM
panIes apparently agreeing tc deliver them In
sood condition On still others the checking
system is adopted but no bicycle Will be taken
Unless the owner signs release agreeing not
to hold the company responsible for any damage
that NAV occur during transportation. On some
boat lines bicycles are arceptel only as freight,
and high charge is made for their carriage.
The League Of American Wheelmen Is naturally
interested in this matter. and Is yisey consider
ing the advisability of bringing 1t before the
courts and securing an authoritative decision.
II is claimed that bicycles are as truly baggage
as trunks or vases. and that the railroads
ought to recognize this. Apparently the time
will soon come when the railroads running out
Of large cities will have to make special provi'
sion for transporting bicycles, particularly on
holidays and at other times when wheelmen are
abroad in large numbers

THE RAILROlDs AND THE BRIDGE.

The street railroads should have proper room
and facilities at the Brooklyn end Of the Bridge
or that there can be no question. Nearly score
Of lines converge upon that point. conveying
daily multitude OF passengers To ana from inc
Bridge. Those passengers must be accommo-
dated better than they have hitherto been. There
should, we think. be some arrangement by which
people can get from the Bridge To the sirccicars
not only with the shortest possible walk. but
without going from under the shelter OF roof.
Hitherto they have had 10 walk for some dis
lance across one or more roadways through mud
and sush and snow and rain Such a state Of
affairs is disgrace to the city and should be No
longer tolerated.
At the same time. the railroad companies and
their patrons are not the only ones TO be con
suited, aud the whole place should not be given
I'D TO them. There should be some avenue OF ap-
proach to and departure from the Bridge which
the other mutltudes may use-the multltudes
who come afoot, and on bicycles, and with trucks
and carriages and vehicles Of all sorts. They are
entitled TO highway that Is not gridifoned with
rails underfoot, nor covered with network Of
wires overhead nor yet thronged with trolley
cars. Their rights must be protected. There are
just three streets coming directly to the Bridge
10 wit, Fulton, Washington and Liberty. The
first two are already monopozed by the rail
roads. The third. newly constructed by the city
at great cost. is still free. But the railroad com
panies demand that II. too. shall be given up IA
