The Uuited States sub treasury at
N. Y. is being daily depleted of its
gold, no less than $l4, 100000 being
withdrawn last week. This brings
another issue Of bonds in sight and
with every prospect that within two
months the yellow metal will be at
premium.
And this is the era of Ga tariff for
revenue only" and the opening of the
"markets of the world" So far as
the exporting of gold is concerned
the ''markets of the world" seem in
deed to be open, but as for revenue
we must borrow.

Some of the state papers have
started ''Mountain Rule" discus
sion and are favoring fines as a pri-
mary consideration. This all comes
about by some one who wants to pass
by Levi Fuller of the east-side and
take John W. Stewart or some other
west-sider to succeed Senator Morrill,.
1t won't do, gentlemen. 1t is very
true that there isn't much sense in
the "mountain rule" but then Levi
must have showing this time. The
SITTER acknowledges that is is lit
tie selfish in this matter. 1t has sew
eral very dear friends who want to
step into Gen. CIRCUITS shoes and if
Levi don't get Morrill's toga he will
want to try CIRCUITS number tens, and
will be in the way of the SIFTER's
friends. See? No mountain rule this
time. Stand back, boys, and give
the hero of Reyes Farm fair show.

where can that of the hero of Keyes'
Farm be found. This is too bad.
Truly republics are ungraetful. Some
thing ought to be done at once. Must
be. Why can't somebody get up Il
ten-cent supper, organize camp of
the sons of thunder and invite Levi
to deliver an address? Anything to
break the monotony. It's dreadful. !!

THE MILITARY WHEElMEN
Gathering of CycIers at the
Broadway Hotel, New York.


New York, Oct. 15,-A large number OF
officers and soldiers and ex-otficers n
eN-soldiers of the regular Or volunteer
amies of the United States, OF the Nation
al Guard of the various states, n ex-
members of the confederate army, who
are wheelmen. gathered this morning at
the Broadway Central hotel in response to
a call recetly issued from the headquart-
ers of the United States Military Wheel
men.
The convention was called to order at
1890 a. IN. by Captain Il. 7. McCrystal.
who was chosen temporary chairman. In
his opening address, he announced the OBJ
iects of the meeting to be:
l. 1t is proposed to unite wheelmen who
have a knowledge of military drill into
bodies of such sizes as to test the prac-
ticability of moving n m~aneuVerin
large bodies of troops with the bicycle.
2. 1t is proposed that military wheel
men shall, voluntarily for the public good,
submit to a certain amount of discipline
so that their wheeling excursions shall
largely be experiments in utilizing their
bicycle for military purposes.
3. The committee from their own OK
perienCe LAY no visionary idea that the
bicycle is In any way going to revolutions

ing and application may produce a body of
riders who would get everything out OF
the use of the bicycle that is possible, and,
through their familiarity with roads be of
great service to the government in time
of need. .
4. AS the bicycle can never be developed
for war purposes by military men who do
not ride, nor by the wheelman who wheels
for business or pleasure. nor by the ordl-
nary wheelmen's associations. ii is inn
portant that all military riders should be
united in one organization. The idea OF
the committee is to have a national assoc
citation divided into state departments.
After the appointment of committees on
constitution and bylaws. ways and means
and over o dozen other topics pertinent to
the organization OF the movInent, an adj
journment was taken until afternoon.
Many officers of the United States army
are Interested in the work of the meet
ing, and 1t Is expected that whatever milf
tary possibilities may be possessed by the
bicycle will be developed through the
agency of this movement.

flesh was cooked to a crisp, but she was
still conscious. Knowing that her hus-
band was more than occupied in try

all this time fought for her life, con
stantly urging him to save her loved
ones, and suffered death herself rather
than divert his attention from them.
Nh. Parks wrapped his overcoat about
his wife, picked up the two children and
they started for a house thai was near

road the burnt flesh fell from her limbs.
However, she managed to reach the
house, but died before medical aid could
be summoned.
Mrs. Parks has always lived in Chero-

THEY DON'T AGREE.

DR.. BlydcI and Bishop Turner on Negro
colonization of Liberia.
Washington, ID. c., Oct. 14.-The pres.
ence In this country at the same time
of two leaders of the G race, who
are said to be authorities upon the sub.
ject of the negro colonization of Liberia.
naturally brings about a discussion OF
their opposing views. DIR. Edward M.
Blyden of Africa. who was minister Of
Liberia to London for some time. has
recently in the North American Re-
view published a lengthy rgume
against anything like a general exodus
of negroes to Liberia. Bishop II. NJ.
Turner of the African-American Epis.
copal church has just returned to Wash
ington from a visit to Africa where he
has the supervision OF Methodist
churches. Bishop Turner thinks very
differently upon the subject of migra-
ton and says that now is the time and
that the future of the negro in America
is dark. The bishop has already been
instrumental in having many colored
families go to Africa, and he yet thinks
1t is the promised land for the negro.
Discussing the subject Mr.. Turner
said:
Il have never favored the wholesale
emigration of the Negro to Africa. Such
a proposition would be foolish and sui.
cidal to the race, If the race was sim
pie enough to embrace It. The coloniz.
alton of 1o,oe0,oo0 negroes III any pari
of Africa in a mass would entail vasl
suffering and death. But l favor a grad.
ual emigration from this country to
Liberia; / favor Liberia as an objective
point because 1t Is the great negro re.
public. Elack men control 1t. The pres.
sdent, cabinet. generals, legislators and
all that constitutes the government are
negroes. This Is a vast domain and one
Of the most interesting spots of the
globe and the only place that has any
form of national organization where
the American negro could go n find
ready welcome and be a man among
men"
