KlvER STEAMERS TO THE FRONT
AGAIN..


AGAIN.
A few years ago railroad companies al.
most entirely broke down the steamboat
carrying trade on the great inland rivers
of the west. This was especially the case
with boating on the Ohio, and upper
Mississippi and Missouri rivers. The
railroad companies cut freight rates no
near the roots that old steamboatmen-so
long used to a monopoly of river trans
portstion-gave up without any attempt
ut conforming to tho new order of bus
mess,
There are now-.hovever-visible signs
of a radical change, aud steamboats, are
coming to the front once more as real
live rivals in the carrying trade. The re-
action commenced on the Ohio river a
few years ago when boating was at a very
low ebb, and at q recent at l~t:stical review
by some Pittsburg papers, it is plainly
shown there is more steamboats, now ply
ing ON the Ohio thar ever Beforehand
what is encouraging to friends of inland
navigation-are doing a profitable bus
iness.
What is now being done on the Ohio,
will soon come to the Missuuri-nnd, in
fnct, has come to the lower river. The
settlement Of the Upper Missouri with a
thrifty class of stock growers, ranchmen,
miners aud farmers, will soon call for the
steamboatmsns' help to level aad redu ce
the exorbant rates OF the railroad freight
haulers. The Upper Missouri river is as
easily navagated as the Ohio, when such
tried and trusty pilots as Captains Grant
Marsh, Tom Mariner or Voolfolk have
charge of the wheel. They need no snag-
pulling, treasury leashes of the Josephine
order to clear the stream for them. They
have made az good time and good money
IN this river as ever was made on the
Ohio or Mississippi. There is plenty of
business and profit for steamboat owners
On the Upper Missouri, when liberality
not parsimony; when accommodation
not studied hind-encc; when a spirit of
judicial fairness enter the minds and
hearts of the upper river steamboat man.

CHOLERA ON THE BELGIC.

IF the statements made by Ava
ma, a Chinese passenger on the Bel
gic, are true, both Captain Walker
and DR.. Bowie of that vessel are
guilty of fraud and crime and may
be prosecuted, under the laws of
the United States. The charge
that the three deaths Of Cinnamon
occurred from cholera, but that the
truth was suppressed in the medi-
cal report, is very serious one. 1t
touches the honesty and good faith
Of the merchant marine service,
and, if true, leaves US no alterna-
tive but to close our port to vessels
from the Asiatic countries.
We must refuse to accept this
statement until the officers of the
Belgic can be heard from. In the
meantime it is fair presumption
that officers of known good charac-
ter have told the truth.
The fact that no japanese immi-
grants, during the voyage or since
the arrival of the vessel, have taken
the disease, makes the case a re-
markable one, and in due time it
will be an interesting study for our
medical brethren.
There is some good reason for
believing that, in spite of all pre-
cautions, the goods taken by the
Belgic at Kobe contained cholera
germs, for which the ships doctor
is in no way responsible. The
charge that the Chinese passengers
had the disease reflects strictly on
the officers of the vessels, and is
most serious.

MARX TWAIN.

We regret that Mark Twain was
not permitted to land and visit the
spot which became familiar to him,
before he became known as one of
the worlds great humorists. He
told the truth about us, in the
early days, and he made fun of
our weak points.
He who has amused the world
for thirty years, now carries a bur-
ben of debt. Behind his laughter
making face is much serious
thought. With a large income
from his books, and married to a
woman of large wealth, his condi-
ton was an enviable one. But the
"age-end" desire fer vast wealth
seized kim, and he launched into a
business he did not understand,
and it ruined him.
As a missionary of humor he
has rendered good and great SER
vice. "The Innocents Abroad"
the Jumping Frog" and his other
writings, have driven away care
and anxiety from many moody
minds, and have served better
purpose than drugs and faith cures.
Perhaps some day he will speak
to US of the religion of humor and
its high place in mans life. Per-
haps he will preach to US about
the crime of solemnity, and how it
filled the homes of New England
with one-sided men and women,
who regarded a smile as sinful
act, and joke as the work of the
evil one.
Henry Ward Beecher said that
the angels must laugh, and if they
watch men they would find plenty
to laugh at. Perhaps they will
give Mark Twain a cordial recep-
ton some day. viii not DR.. Bir-
ME, on some Sunday morning, give
US his views on the subject?

A GOOD BOARD OF HEALTH.

The measures taken by the Board
of Health assure rs that the cholera
will not spread, unless the condi-
tions here are different from those
existing in other countries. Its
action means the quick and effec-
tual stamping out of the disease.
During the last thirty years much
has been learned about the treat
ment of it. 1t is no longer a mys-
terious disease, but one which exists
under conditions which can be con-
trolled. A hundred years ago it
would have been regarded by theo-
logians as a visitation of Provi-
dence now, it is known TO be the
direct product of filth and impure
water.
In India, the home of the cholera,
the average mortality in the cities
is $50, and in the country 1.52 per
1000 persons. There, sanitary regu-
lations have not been enforced.
In China, and in the Malay States,
the disease is never stamped out.
In Japan, during late years, the
authorities, with their progressive
methods, have kept it in control.
So simple are the methods of
keeping off the disease in the
Oriental countries, the foreigners
residing in them do not fear it.
They keep their own premises
clean and drink good water, and
are quite Indifferent to the deaths
from the disease in the neighbor-
hood.
In Japan, on the 1st of August,
the deaths from the disease during
the year reached $500, while there
were 5000 cases of sickness. At the
same time travel is unobstructed.
Foreign tourists fill the hotels and
scatter over the country. The rail-
way trains are filled with the COM
mon people, and no restriction is
put on them. But the police and
the health authorities are vigillant,
and every train is closely watched.
The instant the disease appears, it
is stamped out. Experience has
taught the officials how to do it.
The foreign residents of Yokohama,
for many years, felt insecure from
the attack of the disease owing to
tie lack of good drinking water.
Now the purest water is brought
from long distance, and the COM
munity feels that it is beyond the
reach of the disease, although 200,-
600 Japanese live in the immediate
vicinity.

The establishment Of the
bicycle as a vehicle Of pleasure
and Of business, is beyond
question. We find new uses
constantly presenting them
selves in almost every channel,
and people becoming interest
ed in cycling that a year ago
did not give it a passing
thought. The advancement
in the construction of safety
bicycles of the higher grades
during the past three or four
years has been most phenom-
email, and has exceeded the
anticipations of the most sang
uine admirers of the safety.
Improved facilities for manu-
featuring have fully kept pace
with the increased public inter
est, and the public has been
the gamer, as manufacturers
have been Enabled TO continue
ally produce better work, and
by the use Of automatic ma
chinery to make considerable
reductions in the selling price.
Two years ago it would have
seemed impossible to produce
so perfect a piece of machinery
as is today placed on the mark
ct at the price, and it is only
possible to do SO on account
Of the increased interest in BIZ
cycle riding and correspond
ing increased patronage.
In calling your attention to
the TRIBUNE we believe we
have found one of the best rae
ing wheels yet manufactured.
One of the many points favor
able to the TRIBUNE over all
others is the Cycloidal Sprock-
ct. The object of the Cycloid-
al Sprocket as used on the
TRIBUNE is to remove this use
less friction and cause the
chain to drive as freely as the
running of ball bearings.
There is no necessity for fric-
ton in the running of a chain
all that is necessary to prevent
it, are four conditions: Ist.-
That the tooth should be curv-
ed properly to enter the chain
without contact. 2d.-That
the chain shall pull exactly at
a right angle, with its bearing
surface against the tooth. sd.
That the chain block shall
not shift or change its position
while passing around the
sprocket. 4th-That the tooth
shall leave the chain without
the least resistance. In order
to establish these conditions it
has been found, after much
consideration and practice, that
it is necessary to form the
teeth with what is known as
cycloidal curve, which in me-
chanics, is the curve by fixed
point, say on the periphery of
a circle, when rolled along a
plane surface. The advan-
tage of the cycloidal tooth is
most apparent when the rider
is climbing a hill or forcing his
wheel rapidly on an up grade
or against the wind. This is
where the ordinary tooth grinds
and makes the rider work at
least IS per cent. harder than
there is any necessity. There
is no additional friction with the
TRIBUNE CYCLoIDAL SPRoCKET,
no matter how great the pow
er applied, the chain simply
pulls direct and squarely on
the face OF the teeth and the
power is freely impaired to the
wheel.
