THE UTRDER or THE BiNNOCKS.

We are getting the truth about the latest so
called Indian War" 1t was not a war. 1t
was not IN instruction. nor menace Of one.
II WAS "atrocious. outrageous and cold blooded
murder" of which the perpetrators were civil
ized white men and the victims uncivilzed red
skins. The Bannocks We're no more guilty Of
an uprising" than We're the Christian mission
aries lately butchercd at Ku-Cheng. The men
who slaughtered them were just as much muir
derers rs the fanatcal "Negearians' of China
The Indians gave no provOcation. The whole
business was conceived. organized and executed
by the whites. with deliberate malice inspired
by selfish greed or some baser motive And the
men who were foremost In making the plan and
i'm committing the murders were not reckless
and halflawless cowboys but civil officers Of
the State Of Wyoming and citizens OF the United
States Of America. sworn To keep tho peace and
TO maintain the law
A Wyoming constable seems To have been the
prime mover In 1t, aided and allotted by posse
Of his deputies. These worthless determined to
have the Indians driven ont Of that region alto

They selected The game laws of Wyoming rs an
instrument for vamplng mp an alleged cause for

that the Indians were slaughering game in yio-
latlon Of the law. Even had that been true
but II was no-thc Indians would have been
accountable to the United States, under It's treaty

that obstacle. the conspirators hunted up a fell

proclaimed to be impossible and the law re-

In the case Of the bicycle. as In most matters
affecting common carriers and the public the
question presents itself in two forms to railroad
managers: What must we doT' and what
can we afford not to do?" The first form Of the
question has not been legally answered as yet,
but a decision Is not likely to be long postponed

RAILROADS AND BICYCLES.

good many railroad companies need TO re-
wise their rules and practice with reference TO
the transportation Of bicycles. On some roads
BICYCLES are received and carried on passenger
trains without objection, but charge over and
above the owners fare Is exacted for the ser
vice. In such case the company is clearly re-
sponsible for damages, whatever Ii may pretend
to think about the matter On other roads hi
cycles are transported free for passengers, but
for every one ticket is issued setting forth that
the company will not be responsible for injury
or loss Whether or not this is a valid contract
binding the owner Of the wheel may have TO be
determined by the courts. There are other roads
on which the transportation Of bicycles is avoid
ed or delayed as far as possible by various de-
vices which as rule can probably be overcome
by paying a fee to somebody. Finally there
are railroads which treat bicycles just like other
baggage. excepting that they handle them with
more care, as in the nature Of the case IL ncces-
sary
We are convinced that this last rule Is the one
which all railroad companies will eventually have
to adopt, and they might better come to IT sooner
than later The assumption that the iransporta-
ton Of bicycles Is an unrccOmpcnsed burden and
nuisance cannot be successfully defended The
use or the Wnerl produces very large amount
Of passenger traffic, as everybody who makes
frequent trips into the country by rail must
know Undoubtedly great many persons who
take their bicycles with them would 90 II they
could not take them, but In a large proportion Of
cases the reverse Is true. How large this pro-
portion is the railroad companies might be able
TO calculate with some degree of accuracy. ana
we think they would find 1t useful to undertake
such an inquiry. Their argument now Is that
the demand for the carriage Of bicycles is de-
mand for additional space. labor and care which
they are under no obligation to supply NJ least
for nothing 1t IL true that the bicycle Is
rather awkward thing to store without special
accommodations. and cannot be- thrown around
violently without suffering more damage than
( usually results from similar treatment If a
trunk. And we suppose that This fact largely
accounts for the antipaihy with which II Is re-.
gardcd by railroad men. But the argument IL
n poor one. The conditions which have led 10
all marked improvements In the operation Of
railroads have doubtless been considered griev.
Gus by some managers. who have refused 10
/ acknowledge the necessity for a change as long
rs they could The elimination Of the deadly
car stove even from great trunk lines was long

GENERALIZATION IN FRANCE.

There Is popular belief that Paris means
France to all true Frenchmen. How far II Is
from the truth Is just now being shown. Paris,
as the world knows, Is preparing for another
Universal Exposition In 1900. 10 celebrate the
close OF the nineteenth century. The French
Government Is taking benevolent interest In
the scheme, and indeed the whole OF France was
supposed TO be doing the same. Plans have
been made for worlds fair on a scale OF I'M
prccedenied magnihcence. Paris Is of all cities
best adapted to such an enterprise. According
Iy. there has been general expectation that this
fair will surpass, In all the elements of success
the whole brilliant array OF It's predecessors
which have been held in that capital at intervals
Of eleven years. Indeed, there il still excellent
ground for that expectation. Yet some current
incidents are showing that the Republic Is not
al all unanimous In support OF the project and
that 10 many Frenchmen Paris itself Is but
small and by no means a favorltc part Of France
The provinces are murmurng against the
capital They are protesting against the holding
Of another worlds fair in Paris. because they
think 1t will goriiy and benefit that city at their
expense. Lyons began this curious movement
with formal protest against the Exposition OF
1900 And Lyons Is the chief provincial city Of
France. Nancy, in many RESPECTS Of the
most interesting OF all French cities, has done
the same. Other cities. great and small. have
done or are about TO do 1t. All give the same
