. Yesterday Tommy Tobin, young son
of Postmaster Tobin, borrowed his
fathers driving team and top-buggy and
took his young friends, John and Rich

After enjoying the afternoon lectures,
the boys started home, and when near
the auditorium the buggy-tongue drop
ped down, the horses took fright, and
for a minute the air was full Of horses,
buggy and boys, the buggy being
smashed into a thousand pieces. The
boys escaped serious injury, as is usual
ly the case with boys in a tight place,
but they got the skin barked off in a
good many places, and there was a little
weeping on the side. Tommy, however,
said not a word, and seemed ready for a
railroad wreck, steamboat explosion, or
any other little thing like that, provided
he could make an amicable settlement
with the gentleman who owned the
team and buggy. Finally Tommy and
his father came together and talked the
matter over, and when Tommy discov-
cred that his father apparently remem-
bered that he was a boy once himself,
and vas not inclined to register a COM
plant for the destruction Of his buggy,
he suddenly remembered that be had

bad as anybody else, even if he didn't
do any weeping. Becoming confidential

one of his arms being badly strained,
but fortunately the trio escaped serious
injury.

During the past week turn of the
political wheel in Pennsylvania seems to
have brought Senator Quay out on top in
his fight for the craftsmanship of the state
convention. Probably the help of all his
organized friends, drawn together by a
common pocket book interest, would have
failed the senator In this dire emergency
of his life. But opportunely for him, he
was able to raise the cry that the opposi-
tion, instead of being actuated by desire
for the public good, is simply playing for
two United States senatorships and polit-
ical power to be handed over to the big
monopolies that already govern Philadel-

the contest of his life much stronger than

HOW to Win a Credit Mark.

If the present city council is SO anxious
to get one of those big credit marks about
which the Repository talks, there are sew
eral ways in which to reach the desired
end. First If the demand of the people
for cheaper gas was granted, the council
would be praised. 1t is well known that
gas can be manufactured at 80 cents per
thousand cubic feet, and fair profit real
lied. The people of CantonSare at present
paying S1.20, and reduction would be a
popular move. What will the council doP
The people want better police protection,
and have petitioned for the appointment
of additional officers; the matter has
been pigeon-holed; the people would like
to have council act upon this matter.
Two of the republican members of coun-
Gil, Rex and Lindsay, have been openly
charged with violating the law, by Illegal
ly selling goods to the city AN investi-
CATION would please the people,
Any of the things stated above would
reflect credit upon the council, and would
be far better than trying to get credit for
an ordinance passed twenty lone years ago.

Funny Remarks BY the Republicans.
1t begins to look as If the republicans
are on a very serious hunt for new issues
In New York the state republican COM
mittee met last week The Tribune in
terviewed some of the prominent repre-
sentatives of the party on the outlook. In
several instances the result was as anus
ing as it was instructive. Mr.. John Sa-
bine Smith, for instance, said he felt sure
the republicans would win in 1896, "pro-
vided they could hold to their present.
chances" " When Mr.. Smith was asked to
explain what he meant by "holding to
their present chances, he replied that he
had just returned from trip through
Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota, and that
the outlook for the harvest there was bet
ter than in any previous year for ten years
past "If nothing interferes,' he said,
"to injure that part of the crops which is
yet outstanding, it will be u great year
indeed, and the danger, If any should
arise, to be guarded against, will be that
of an overflowing prosperity, wherein the
issue born of the last two years may be
forgotten, which is the frankest state
ment we have seen that the chief hope Of
the republican party is anchored in the
country's misfortunes
Senator Lexow, of police investigation
fame, and Boss Platt's lieutenant, was
almost equally frank as to the necessity
of the republicans keeping up the "ca-
lamity howl " as 1t has been expressively
called. Said he: "This matter Of report
ed increase in wages in various directions
is temporary thing. If 1t is otherwise,
then we are all wrong and have been in
the wrong all the time" Mr. Lexow
went on to tell the interviewer that, in
spite of the cheering reports OF increased
employment and higher wages that are
coming in from all the manufacturing
centers, he is confident that bad times are
still being endured, and sanguiBe that
they can be made to continue until 1896.
He went on to point out the duty of re-
publican newspapers to "boom" the hard
times and exploit the sufferings Of the
people with all possible enthusiasm. ~
tell you," he said. "the newspapers could
do no better work than to send a man
into manufacturing towns. Let him
stay In each week and closely inyesti-
gate the condition of the working classes
He would produce results which would
stagger the country"
If things are going this bad for the
party in New York state, it looks very
much as If it will not be able to hold onto
the panic for another year. 1t is very
plain that new issue must be raised, as
the returning tide of prosperity at the
present rate will soon be irresistible

The Bicycler,s Right to the Road.

The Massachusetts, bicycler who re-
Gently successfully maintained in court
his rights of the road against teamster
who tried to crowd him off, finds himself
a hero among his brethren. The court
thinks the bicycle vehicle, and entitled
to all the rights Of any other vehicle.
This opinion reads well and looks well,
but, we think, will not stand the test of
analysis that will be applied in higher
courts
While the bicycle is undoubtedly a vehi-
Gle so far as definition goes, 1t should be
remembered that there is recognizhed law
of the road even among drivers of real
vehicles which even gives one the right of
the road to the exclusion of another. For
instance, If heavily laden team is pull
ing up hill, and light running vehicle
coming down, the driver who is running
light will give away TO the one with
load Among self respecting teamsters
this same result will be achieved, in per-
haps modified form, on even level
stretch of road. When Napoleon, in COM
pany with Mrs. Balcombe met heavily
laden porter ON one of the rugged paths
of st. Helena, he stepped aside with the
remark, Respect the burden, madam 7"
and by doing so Napoleon raised himself
in the estimation of all who are familiar
with this fact in his history.
The bicycle being a new kind of vehicle,
its right to the road will eventually be
pretty accurately determined by custom
rather than by the courts Under ordi-
nary circumstances, the rider of the wheel
should not be crowded to one side, on
rough ground, perhaps, through any self
ish disregard of the wheelman's undoubt-
ed rights by the horseman; on the other
hand the driver Of the loaded team, except
on smooth and level road, perhaps can
not be expected to add to the labor Of his
team by pulling to one side to allow a
bicycle to pass. No hard, and fast rule
such as that laid down by the Massa-
chusetts court, will hold

ssoo,OOo,ooo in Corn.

The most famous corn crops harvested
in this country up to the present year
were in 1889 and 1891, and yielded. .respeo-
lively 2,112, ,S02, 900 and 2,06O, 154, 900
bushels. The estimated condition of the
corn crop in those years on August l was
more than ten per cent, or, as the Agri-
cultural Department expresses 1t, ten
points below the condition this year at
the same date. The estimated aggregate
for this year is 2, 400, 900, 900. At twenty
fiev cents bushel, this quantity of corn
will be worth s60O 100000 In addition
to this the country is expected to produce
this year 1856, 900, 900 bushels OF spring and
fall wheat-a short harvest-and 49,
900, 900 bushels of oats. These are elo-
quent fgures-the only serious shrinkage
from normal being the cotton crop, which
is rated at only 779 points-the lowest
average for August ever reached.

LowNpes foa GOVERNOR.
Maryland Republicans Meet and Name q
state Ticket.

CAMBRIDGE, Md, Aug. 16.--The Re-
publican state convention nominated
the following ticket by acclamation
For governor, Lloyd Lowndes of Cum
berland; attorney general, Harry M.
Clabaugh of Baltimore; comptroller,
Robert p. Graham of Wioomcie county.
The strength of the Lowndes element
was shown early in the proceedings by
the choice of John G. Rose for tempo
rary chairman. This was soon followed
by the formal withdrawal of the name
Of William T. Malster, who had made a
special canvass for the gubernatorial
nomination. Lowndes' nomination was
then made by standing vote amid
much enthusiasm. The other candi-
dates were nominated with little oppo-
sition. The principal planks of the
platform read as follows:
1.-THE Republicans of Maryland favor
such system of impost duties as shall
protect American Industries and pro-
vide sufficient revenue for the expenses
of government economically admins
tered so that in time of peace the ma
tional debt shall not be increased
"They oppose any legislation which
shall seek to create in this country any
other or different monetary standard
than that Of the gold dollar. or the issu-
ance by the government, or by its au-
thority or permission of any form of
currency except such as shall be con-
vertible into gold at its face value by
the holder thereof at his pleasure.

If the missionaries who have penetrated
so far into China to their peril in the
hope of converting heathens who decline
to be converted, had staid within territory
where consular authority could be en-
forced, they would have had as much
work as they can accomplish in several
centuries. Why they should risk their
lives In penetrating the Chinese empire to
points far beyond thei line of safety is
hard to understand.

only democrat of great prominence in
New York who Is in touch with both fac
tions of his party. The announcement
not only sets at rest the often repeated as
sertion that Whitney has knife up his
sleeve for the man he made president and
whom he accuses of ingratitude, but
definitely places the ex-secretary of the
navy's services again ut the presidents
disposal. Finally the news will give a
great impetus to talk, heretofore little
nebulous, of a third term for Mr.. Cleve
land
In England the office of premier Is an
alogous to our presidency. The queen Is
practically costly figure head. All the
real power of the nation is welded by the
premier. This high Office has been filled
five times by Mr.. Gladstone and four
times by The present head of the govern
ment-the Marquis of Salisbury The
English people put a premium on both
experience and ability. In this country
alone has itbeen sought to have the doc
trine developed that a man should not
hold the presidential Office, even by cleo
tion at the hands of the people, more
than twice. The danger that is supposed
to threaten the country should this rule,
heretofore observed, be violated, is per-
petuity of power on the part of chief
magistrate But while we are open to
conviction on this point, we have never
yet lost faith in the ability Of the Ameri-
can people to protect their liberties from
encroachment from all sources. If man
has twice proved himself competent and
honest in the presidential office, we do
not see danger in the country availing
itself of his services for third time.

The Poor Not Growing Poorer.

While it is entirely true that the busi-
ness methods of the past thirtygears have
tended to increase enormously the for
tunes of a few, and thus to widen the gulf
between the very rich and the very poor,
it is wholly untrue that the poor as a
class are either absolutely or relatively
poorer than before. Indeed, the number
of small but comfortable homes in every
part of the country, as well as the reports
of savings banks and building and insur-
ance associations, prove incontestably that
the poor have shared in the prosperity of
the rich, and that the average standard of
comfort was never higher than at present.
Indeed, the average workingman Of today
lives better and possesses more of the
comforts OF life than the average noble of
six hundred years ago. The sins of
wealth, though many and grievous, have
not generally been aimed directly at the
oppression of the poor.-Justioe H. B.

the alleged murderer of Minnie and

half dozen others will go to Chicago for
trial for the murder Of the Williams
girls. This. it is said. was the outcome

between A. w. Caps, of Ft. Worth,
Tex, and District Attorney Graham.
After the conference Lawyer Caps said
that he had urged the district attorney
to allow Holmes to go to Chicago and
that Mr.. Graham could hardly refuse to
grant his request.

Fatally wounded a Robber.

TOLEDO, Aug. 16.-Near Holland, this
morning, a farmer whose name ia Gar.
rett, was on his way from Toledo when
he was stopped by two men, one a white
man and the other colored. The white
man grabbed the horses by the brides
and the negro ordered the farmer to
give up his money. Garrett was too
quick for them. SeSzing his revolver,
he shot hole through the negro's ear.
and then put ball through his body.
The white robber escaped, but the
negro will die from his wounds. The
farmer had considerable mohey on his
person.
