BICYCLING IN PARIS.

= Cycling in Paris has totally revolu-
tionized everything with it's allab-
sorbing fascination. The Parisians
have simply gone wild over this sport,
and true to their love for indulging in
all eccentricities possible have inaug1lr-
ated an era CO bicycle faddism that at
times takes the most fantastic and lu
dicrous expression says a correspond
ent in the Chicago Herald. A: few
years ago there We're scarcely any BIZ
cycles to be seen about the bOule-
Yards, and those that were used at that
period were all of conspiciously anti
Quated design. The men had the un-
disputed control of the wheel, and even
the most yenturesome Parisienne never
in her widest flights Of Imagination
fancied herself astride a risky two
wheeled contrivance such as the BIZ
cycle. The youthful multi-millionaire,
Max Lebaudy, may perhaps safely be-
given the credit for doing the most to
popularize cycling in France and max
ing it a distinctly independent sport in
Paris. Such a thing as road race or
any kind Of test Of the relative merits
Of wheelmen was not thought Of till
ne came back from England. IN this
country Lebaudy absorbed all his
sporting proclivities, and having IN
limited funds at his command he pro-
ceeded on his return to Paris to give
full swing to his inclinations in this di-
rection.
He soon found a number Of gilded
youths with plenty Of time and money
and succeeded in interesting them in
the starting Of cycling club. The
novelty Of the proposition took i'm
mensely and the project was success
full beyond all expectations.

teurs who could pump away at a
very creditable pace. Handsome prizes
were abundant and the cycling boom
fairly started.
About this time negotiations were op-
ened with Americans, both amateur and
professional cyclers, with view to Sc
curing their presence at a grand inter-
national cycling tournament. This af-
fair fell through for some reason or
other for the present but active pre-
parations are being made for making
It a certainty next season. The
F'renchmen through their tempting Of
fers induced many of Americas best
professional cracks to go to Paris.
Max Lebaudy again came to the front
by subscribing a handsome sum for
this purpose and through his efforts he
secured Mr.. Zimmerman, the pride of
Chicago's wheelmen. Mr.. Zimmerman
has certainly acquitted himself in
most creditable manner and gathered
in 1aurels and shekels enough to salts

Luzerne In Line.

The Republicans of Luzerns county
have come up grandly to every expecta-
ton in their delegate election on Sat-
urday. According to the latest. and
what may be regarded as entirely re-
liable returns, the Hastings people have
carried every one of the six legislative
districts and a solid delegation for
Rice, Willard and Hastings will appear
in the state convention. In Luzerne,
as in Lackawanna, Senator Quay made
a desperate effort to retain his power,
and there, as here, he has been over
whelmingly beaten. The two great
counties of northeastern Pennsylvania
will therefore present a solid front
when the final battle Is fought at Har-
risburg. This is as It should be. The
material interests of the two counties
are Identical, and there is no reason
why they should not stand united poll
tically. Lackawanna and Luzerne, with
their united delegation Of sixteen. can
be q powerful factor in state conven-
tions. a fact which may be significant
ly demonstrated at Harrisburg on
Aug. 2s.
The Luzerne Republicans wisely con-
cluded to take no chances that might
jeopardize the interests Of Judge Rice,
and now that the two great anthracite
counties Of this section Of the state are
solidly in line 1t Is clearly the part Of
wisdom for their delegates to make
common cause and labor together har-
moniously in promoting the nomination
Of both Judges Willard and Rice. The
fact that these two Judges reside in
adjoining counties should not initiate
against either. They are both men ad-
mirably qualified for the Superior court
bench, and two judges from the anthra-
cite region is not too large represent
alton. willard and Rice'' should be
the battle cry Of the united delegates
from these two counties II the attempt
shall be made in the state convention to
defeat either Of the two Judges. Lu-
zerne and Lackawanna must stand to-
gether to the end Of the battle.

Ouay's Defeat In Philadelphia.

Senator Quay's friends In Phtladel-
phia are demanding with almost violent
emphasis that the city government be
Investigated, Its corrupt practices ex-
posed and that the evils under which
the people suffer be remedied. There is
not much doubt that Philadelphia has
suffered in consequence Of corrupt COM
binations by which the peoples money
has been recklessly squandered and
heavy taxes unnecessarily imposed.
But 1t Is also true that every wrong
and every evil complained Of has grown
up as direct result of Quay methods
and under the immediate supervision
Of Senator Quay himself. The very
men whom Quay denounces as corrup-
tionists and scoundrels who ought to
be in the penitentiary were for years
his most faithful and devoted Heuten-
ants and followers. Senator Quay
himself was the man who gave direc-
tions for the special legislation under
authority Of which corrupt and plum
dering "combines'' became possible.
When men like David Martin refused
longer to do the work required Of them
by Senator Quay he denounced them
as corruptionists who were plundering
the people, and demanded that they be
investigated by q 'Lexow committee"
These same men were for many years
Senator Quay's principal support in
keeping him in power, both in state and
national politics. If they are corrupt
they became 30 under his tuition and in
his employ. They are not worse now
than they were a year ago. when they
were subsequently obeying his orders
and were his recognized heutenants.
Had these men been willing to remain
Senator Quay's tools ne would have
found no fault with them. There came
time when Martin revolted, threw of
the Quay yoke, and declared his ande-
pendence; then, and not until then, did
Quay make the discovery that Martin
was very bad man indeed and ought
to be Investigated"
There Is. not an intelligent resident
in Philadelphia who does not know that
almost every gigantic scheme for plum
dering the taxpayers Of that city, con-
oocted during the past dozen years. was
conceived by men who were the faith
full adherents Of Senator Quay. In
those days Quay was more potent in
Philadelphia than anywhere else in the
state. The delegations in state conven-
tions from that city were to man his
obedient servants and would obey ev.
cry order he gave them. NO Philadel-
phian could command the support of
his own city's delegation in . conven-
tion unless ne was first endorsed by
Senator Quay. He. no longer wields
such power. and now he denounces his
former followers a. corruptaonists who
should be in the penitentiary. But for
the revolt Of men like David Martin,
Philadelphia would today have DEM

that the people would usvsr have elect

william counoIl for Governor.


/ Sunday Free Press: "Mr. william Con-
nell should be put forward by the Republi-
cans Of northeastern Pennsylvania as
their next candidate for governor. It is
only recently that Mr.. Connell has taken
an interest In state politics. but he has al
ready demonstrated his potentiality and 10

party In this section OF the state. When
the bitter fight now raging opened up It
was not to Hon. ]. A. Scranton or Hon.
Louis A. Watres that either Governor
Hastings or Senator Quay appealed for the
delegates from Lackawanna. It was to
Mr.. Connell that Governor Hastings sent:
1t was to Mr.. Connell that Senator Quay
came, and no politician doubts that but
for the great influence that Mr.. Connell
wields every delegate to the Republican
state convention from this county would
be for Quay. Mr.. Connell has frequently
said that there Is no Office that he would
care to fill. But he had not then In con-
temptation the dignifled position Of chief
magistrate of the commonwealth OF Penn
sylvania. It appears to US that the Of
nee Of governor would have peculiar at
fractions for Mr.. Connell at his time of
life. 1t would give him an opportunity
three years from now to retire from the
active management Of his great enter
prises, and to round out q useful life with
honor by giving this commonwealth a
good and pure administration. When his
term of Office expired he would be beyond
20 years Of age, q time when every sue
cessful man should seek the comfort and
repose which success has placed within his
reach. Mr.. Connell has his political ene-
mics in Lackawanna. No one who has
been SO active and aggressive as he could
avoid 1t. He might be bitterly opposed for
county Office, but as q candidate for gov
ernor he would have the united support Of
the Republicans and no small share of
Democratic aid. His bitterest enemies In
his own party would support him for gov
ernor, for his success in q canvass for that
office would remove him from the local
field in which he has proven to be a great
obstacle to the aspirations Of those whom
he has seen At to oppose. There II no ques.
tion as to Mr.. Connell's capacity for the
once; the man who has built up and sue
cessfully managed great private enter
prises is we'll fitted to be the chief execu.
tive Of this commonwealth. We commend
these thoughts to Republican leaders in
Lackawanna county and In the state.
They are worthy Of serious considers
tion." reH

Official reports Of the Jackson's Hole
affair. not edited by the wild western

without hair-raising elements. From
present appearances It Is probable that
the correspondent became 90 impressed

anything should happen. Were 1t not

he has degenerated into a selfish boss. de-
termined to rule absolutely or ruin those
who oppose him, the scene has changed.
The men who erstwhile waited his coming
eagerly and pressed forward to greet him
now pass him by In silence. HIS presence
In any city In the commonwealth no longer
arouses the old time enthusiasm. No
longer do the influential party leaders
hock to his presence to do him honor.
Aside from a few of the old-time machine
politicians who love Quay for what he has
done for them in the past and may do
for thera In the future, he is alone"

A suitable market place II one Of the
urgent needs Of this growing city at the
present time. In the city which Is in
advance OF Pennsylvania municipali-
ties generally the market accommoda-
tions are scarcely in keeping with the
progress made Ia other matters Of pub
lie interest. Today the principal
wholesale and retail marketing Is car
ried on at the lower end Of Lackav anna
avenue and on Penn avenue. where the
facilities for serving the buying public
and preserving sanitary conditions are
meagre indeed. The necessity OF dis
playing stock on the sidewalks. which.
under present circumstances, seems in
most instances unavoidable, makes the
average market sort Of nuisance
when situated 6n busy thoroughfare
OF a large city. and the odors Of over
ripe fish and vegetables are something
to be dreaded in warm weather.
Some years ago the Arcade plot,
reaching from Wyoming to Penn ave-
nue.. was suggested as favorable To-
cadity for the establishment of market
stalls. The erection Of the new Froth-
ingham theater. however. seems to
have destroyed the usefulness of the
plot for such purposes. The location
formerly occupied by the Scranton
stove works, on West Lackawanna
avenue, has also been suggested. A
market building, however, should be
centrally located II possible, and the
site should cover ample space to ac-
commodate growing business for years
hence; and upon this principle, prob.
aoiy' many objections could be raised
against the West Side location. Rut

duce especially, can be centralized, be.
