BIKES AND DOCTORS.

The San Francisco Examiner de-
votes page to the opinion of physi-
clans as to the effect of bicycle riding
on the system. The discussion started
over a report made by four doctors
who held post mortem examination
on a young man named Giles, the re-
port stating that he died from cerebro-
spinal meningitis, and that the cause
thereof was the continuous jolting in
bicycle riding: AS usual doctors dis
agree, and the majority take the posi-
tion that unless the exercise is exces-
sive it is not harmful, but decidedly
beneficial. 1t does look as though the
doctors, following the example of those
who attended the immortal Sancho
Panza while he was governor of the
island, take delight in pronouncing
those things that give pleasure hurt
full, and prescribe only those things
that are unpleasant to the palate or
distasteful to the mind. In the dis
cussion mentioned, one learned M. D.
says he would recommend bicycle rid
ing, if for no other reason, because it
encourages women to wear bloomers,
and so get rid of skirts. "Skirts,"
says this authority, "are very injurious
and have caused the death of thousands
of women" There seems to be as
much reason in that assertion as that
he bicycles are injurious, for since we
hink of it, most of the hundreds of
Millions of women who are dead wore
kirts, and very few ever rode BIZ

JEALOUS OF THEIR BELIEFS.

The civilized world is finding fault
with China on account of the massacre
of missionaries. While we would not
be considered as condoning or justify
ing the atroclous murders, we must
admit that there are two sides to the
story, and further admit that with all
the boasted civilization of enlightened
countries, they are not guiltless of sim
liar offenses. The truth is that nearly
every country is jealous of its religious
beliefs, and intolerant of new doctrines
introduced from foreign countries
The Mormons at Salt Lake in early
days did not hesitate to convey their
opinion of a gentle to him on the
point of butcher-knife, and where
Mormon missionaries undertook to
preach their doctrines in Nauvoo they
were butchered as relentlessly as the
Christian in China, and their leader
and prophet, Joseph Smith, was killed.
The prejudice of the Chinese against
the new religion being introduced
into their country, no doubt caused
the massacre. That the perpetrators
of those murders should be punished
goes without saying, but that the Chi
nese are alone in offenses of this kind
is far from true. We sometimes think
that the effort to Christianise the Chi
nese and other barbarians is all wasted
effort. With a vast field at home,
where the harvest is both ripe and
plentiful we might find profitable en-
ployment, not only for all the ener-
getic workers now employed in foreign
missions, but could give permanent
employment to large army of re-
cruits.

OPENING OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Ex-senator Ingalls, Fired the First Gun In
Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 3.-At the
Labor day celebration in this city ex-
Senator Ingalls, spoke from the same
platform with J. R. Burton, who is
looked upon as Ingalls, principal op--
ponent in the race for the United
States senatorship. Their appearance
was regarded as the opening of the
senatorial campaign. The ex-senator
openly says he is candidate for his
old seat. He is taking friendly stand
in favor of silver in his speeches.
After speaking in a general way on
labor topics, Senator Ingalls, turned
his attention to tho last congress:
"If this were a congress inadequate,
incompetent, insincere, hostile to the
best interests of this country, it was not
the fault of congress so much as 1t was
the constituents that sent them here. ="
Turning to the charges that seats
were bought in the Q. S. sehate, he
laid the blame at the same door, those
| who elected senators. He said:
"There is one remedy: abolish the
present antiquated, clumsy, super.
fluous and detrimental method OF
choosing senators by alegislatures and
let them be elected by direct vote OF
the people of the state as they ought to
be elected"
This statement was loudly cheered.
Ingalls, went a step further and said
that the only way to purify this gov
ernment was to trust the people, and
he even favored the election of presi-
dent and vice-president by the direct
vote. He roundly scored the Stan
dard Oil Company and various trusts.
He thought labor had right to COM
bine, and spoke strongly against in:
discriminate immigration. He closed
by urging the workingman to remem,
Der that the redress of his wrongs is in
his own hands.

The Chicago Canal.

OTTAWA, Sept. 5.-The Canadian
government is preparing a case to
submit to Washington, through the
British government pointing out the
disastrous effect the construction OF
the Chicago canal will have on Cana.
dian shipping. The minister of justice
says the law of nations governs the
Canadian case in question. 1t is con.
tended that the water level of the great
lakes is likely to be lowered.
A government engineer who is look
ing into the matter said the govern
ment had reports that as the harbors
on the American side of the lakes will
be as injuriously affected as the Cana
dian harbors, the American points
concerned Will use their influence to
prevent the construction of the canal

VALEDIcToRY.

With this issue of the TIMES-MOUN-
TAINEER my connection with the paper
as editor and proprietor ceases, having
this day disposed OF my interest to Mr..
]. A. Douthitt, of Prineville, a practi-
cal newspaper man, who will hereafter
have full charge and control. During
tfhe past thirteen years that 1 have
managed the columns of the paper 1
have attempted to advocate only those
measures of local interest that would
tend to the development of the re-
sources of this city and vicinity, and if
in my zeal in so doing enemies have
been made I shall make no apology or
attempt any retraction OF anything
published. My object has been
the benefit of the entire community,
and If mistakes have been made
they have been of judgment and
not of intent or motive. Politically
the TINES s-MoUNTAINEER has been
consistently Republican, and this has
been in accordance with my senti-
ments from early youth.
In bidding good-by to my friends in
the profession, and to the many read
ers of the paper, can only express the
kindest feelings towards them, and can
assure all that lay down my pen with
no feelings of malice or ill-will to-
wards any.
For my predecessor expect a con-
tinuance of the same liberal patronage
that has been extended to me, and can
assure patrons that they will receive
the same courteous treatment in busi-
ness matters, and to readers that the
well-earned reputation of the paper
will be sustained in all its depart
ments.
And now, goodby to all. 1t is with
feelings of keenest regret that l re-
linquish the pleasant although burden
some duties of editor; but my health,
after long years of mental work and
worry, required rest. Many of the
associations of the past thirteen years
will be green spots in my memory
when limbs grow palsied and eyes be-
come dim, and will be subjects of con-
slant and agreeable remembrance dur
ing life, be it long or short. Good-by.
JOHN MICHEL.
