The Better Plan.

In London they are eternally predict
ing cabinet crises, and, indeed, those
experiences In political circles do come
pretty often. Essentially. what the
administration il with us the cabinet
is to England. except that. with us,
the term of the administration is fixed
at four years while. on the other side,
practically the cabinet stands or falls
according to its ability TO get a ma
jority on any pending question.
You can get up almost any kind of
them have been a feature Of the Rose
berry regime. An old cad who has
been strutting for years at the head of
the military establishment furnishes
the latest groundwork for a crisis-it
depends on whether he will get out of
ONCE while, on the side. the choice of
his successor is a burning topic.
"It is possible" says one of the re-
cent London dispatches. shat the OBJ
stinate old Duke of Cumberland. rather
than appear to submit to popular
clamor. for which he has always shown
a fine royal contempt, will abandon his
intention to retire. He actually be-
lieves that the British army is without
peer In the world. yet the country is
sick unto death of his silly speeches,
his umbrella which always appears on
dress parade. and his pig-headed OPP
position to reforms" h
Whatever else he amounts to. this
old prig may be potent enough to be at
the bottom Of a cabinet crisis; excel
lent English authority says he is likely
TO be. These threatened upturnings in
politics are not good thing; the United
States has a better plan.

Under a New Name.

In the Engineering Magazine for May
Is an article in which is told the story
OF the rise and fall of the velocipide
and OF the later triumph of the bicycle.
The high wheel, 1t appears was the
result of the irrepressibie conflict be-
tween the horsemen and the veloci-
pede riders OF a dozen or more years
ago.
The low wheel, says the magazine
article, brought the rider near the
ground, far lower than the occupant
Of our American carriage sits" Thus
he was exposed to dust, and II was an
easy matter for the horse driver to run
him down. The article then describes
the spirit of warfare that was aroused
at the time. It was the carriage
against the wheel. and to 1t was due
In part the evolution Of the high
wheel. In the end. the velocipede
ceased to be fad in iocomotion-it
practically went out of use. But there
came about In few years a renais-
sance which ushered In the wondrous
Bicycle, against which the war of the
carriage was not kept up.
Along with the publishing of the in
structive article in the Engineering
Magazine comes a decision from the
courts in Pennsylvania announcing
that the bicycle is a carriage. A con-
troversy arose over the right of way
for the bicycle through the gates OF
certain toll roads. The regulations at
these gates did not name the bicycle
in terms as subject to the toll. but pay
was demanded. Thus the bicycle got
into court-into a lower court at first,
where the decision was that the bicycle
is a carriage. Appeal was taken. there
was learned argument. and the high
court. sustaining the decision that
came from below. declared that In fact
the bicycle Is a carriage. Thus the new
device can be made to contribute to
the good-roads crusade.

FIRST OVERLAND EXPRESS.
The Manager of the Original Tells How
the Venture Was brought About.

The Manager OF the Original Tells How
the Venture Was Brought About.
"The first express ever run across
the plains was started by man named
Butterfield in 1885," said Alexander
Benham, of Montana, the manas er of
the first overland express. 1T started
at Little Rock, Ark, and followed a
southern route through Kansas, New
Mexico, Arizona, and then to Los An
geles. CAL About two years later, in
1860, our company was formed for the
purpose of carrying the mails to the
Pacific coast 1t was known as the
Central Overland, California and Pixies
Peak Express company. William II.
Russell, Alexander Majors, and man
named Wadell formed the company,
and the contracts with the government
for carrying mails were made out in
their names. l was chosen manager.
and had my office in Denver. The
southern route run by Butterfield did
not have as much prominence as ours,
which for years was known as the
pony express route. 1t was started
in at st. Joseph, Mo-, running through
Nebraska to Fort Kearney, to Fort
Laramie, Wyo., thence to Denver, to
Salt Lake City, to Placerville, New,
and to Sacramento, Cal. The whole
trip. extending half across the CONT
nent, was made in seventeen days,
when no accident befell, and accidents
were not so numerous as some people
have imagined. From st. Joseph to
Denver the trip took seven days, and
from Denver to Sacramento was a
journey of ten days. That was, OF
course, by the regular stage route, and
little time was lost in making it. To
accommodate our business we had
about $50 coaches, most OF which were
kept running all the time To haul them
we had 1900 horses scattered along
the route from st. Joseph to Sacrament
to. In addition we had 5000 or 1000
head Of cattle, which were used in
hauling heavy freight and transport
ing feed for the horses and feed for our
men. You can see that the business
was not by any means a small one, and
1t continued to grow as long as there
was any use for such means Of trans
portation. This was until the compile
ton of the Union Pacific railway to
California in 1870. Then overland traf-
fic and mail service could be managed
to better service by the railroad and
our pony express went out Of existence.
But up to that time, from the day when
the route was first opened in 1860, itS
business had steadily increased. Even
the building Of the railroad assisted us,
for our line was the best adapted for
carrying to western stations employees
and provisions"

HE HAD NO EAR FOR MUSIC.
Richard Harding Davis Tells OF an Ocean

Richard Harding Davis Tells of an Ocean
Travellers Experience with n Band.
Richard Harding Davis tells a good
story Of one Of his transatlantic trips.
The passage, he says, was made delight
full by music at breakfast, dinner, and
tea, but there was one passenger who
objected to music. For the first three
days he remained dashed to his steamer
chair, like mummy, with nothing
showing but blue nose and closed
eyelids. The band played at the end
Of the deck, and partly because the fin
gers of the players were nearly frozen,
partly because of the sudden lurches
Of the ship, the harmony was sometimes
destroyed. Those who had an ear for
music picked up their steamer chairs
and moved to windward, but this young
man, being half dead and firmly dashed
to his place, was unable to save him
self On the morning Of the fourth day,
when the concert was over and the band
had gone to thaw themselves, the young
man suddenly sat upright and pointed
his forefinger at the startled passen-
gers. They had generally decided that
he was dead. Heavens knows, I'm a
sick man." he said, blinking his eyes
feebly, "but If live till midnight I'll
find out where they hide these horns,
and I'll drop em into the gulf stream
If it takes my dying breath. He then
fell over backward and did not speak
again till land was reached.
