The bicycle Is not only doing great

The wheel. too, has given work 10 an

A Long Time to Wait.

The Baltimore sun tries to keep up
its war upon German and Rasln. That
paper promises that this war shall con-
time indefinitely or forever. Ii says:
1.-THE gage Of battle in the cause Of
the people against bosslsm and boss rule,
and against the dual despotism Of German
and Kas.n. has been thrown down In the
face Of all enemies OF the people. and
there IL remains until the polls close on
the evening OF the 9TH OF November and
afterward until the work Of reform is
thoroughly accomplished
We don't think that the Sun shows
much zeal in the anti-bossism war.
though IT devotes enough space 10 the
subject TO Justify the Maryland public
In supposing that 1t IL still fighting on
that line. The Suns promise TO continue
It's fight until the work Of reform is
thoroughly accomplished is not calculated
TO commend itself TO general favor. Too
much Of the future comes IN between
promise and fultlmcnt.
