The recent spell Of weather emphasized
anew the urgent need OF additional means or
transit over the East River. The accumulation
Of lee in that stream greatly interfered with
The working Of the ferries. Some OF them were
altogether tied up for time. All OF them were
operated irregularly and uncertainty. The re-
suit was that, through sense or prudence or
through sheer necessity, tens OF thousands OF
persons who usually patronlzed the boats turned
daily toward the Bridge. and that structure was
crowded in all It's parts as never before. Tne

were so dcnsely packed that locomotion was
made slow and difficult. And there corrc

convcrging upon the Bridge at both ends The
traffic that commonly is distributed over n dozen
important routes was all crowded upon one
These conditions were, Of course, temporary
and exceptional. But we have no guarantee

THE RATE OF INTEREST

Exactly the same bonds, word for word and
line for line, under exactly the same laws which
could have been placed at 2la per cent during
the last month Of President Harrison's Admin
istration have now been placed by President
Cleveland at 334 per cent There is an advance
of lust one-half i'm the rate Of interest The cost
of money is just onehalf more at this time un-
der the same law than 1t was two years ago
The Judgment OF the financial world is that the
United States is worth TO that extent less than
II was. for there is no question Of President
Cleycland's disposition to meet all the oblga
tions Of the Government The country has
smaller resources. and less power to pay. and
the measure Of that difference Is found In the
rate Of interest.
Nobody enjoys this change A good many
Americans feel ugly about 1t, and would like 10
have the President explain. In the mean while
it seems proper to show exactly how this change
has come to pass and how it can be terminated.
Let us begin by recognizing the fact that some
reaction in business might have arrived, pos
sibly earlier or later. but in the ordinary course
Of events whether the laws had been changed
or not But some reaction does not mean this
reaction. There might have been decline Of
tenth In the volume Of business or in the rate
OF wages as there was In 1874, but the country
would not have suffered as it has during the
last two years.
when foreign bankers reckon a bond Of the
United states worth 80 per cent less than the
same bonds were reckoned by them worth two
years ago. the change Is one that means much

A RILL AGAINST BICYCLING.

Since serious doubts have been expressed OF
the propriety Of clergymen making their parish
rounds on bicycles, ii seems scarcely probable
that those vehicles will come into general Use
for the conveyance Of mourners In funeral pro-
cessons. But II not, what in the world is the
object Of the bill introduced at Albany the other
day. limiting to mere snail's pace the rate at
which wheels may legally be run on the public
roads Of this State? We can imagine few other
uses 10 which bicycles thus restricted could
properly or satisfactorily be put. Certain
structural pccuiarites render them unavailable
as coacarts or hay wagons. and as substitutes
for wheel chairs for paralytcs their Use would
be confined TO a comparatively limited class Of
people. 1t would be well for the author Of this
bill to put into the preamble Of it, or in sup
Elementary clause, an enumeration Of the pur
poses TO which the wheels outside Of his own
head may be applied.
TO a mere uninspred layman the proposed
measure looks like an III advised attack either
foolish or malicious. upon a form of ocomotion
which. for business for health and for pleasure
rational man knows that to say people shall moi
ride bicycles more rapidly than the rate set by
Mr.. Thompson Is to say that very large pro
portion Of them shall not ride AT all Who would
go out for cycling tour, or for days run. or
even for a mornings spin. il he must creep
along AT a mere jog-trot rate. losing all the ex-
hlaration that comes with rapid flight? Where

running vehicle IL it must trundle along In the

quented roads, 1t is necessary. Of course. to limit
the speed Of the wheel. just as the speed at
which horses may be driven or trolley-cars be

Il without ADEQUATE resources TO justify borrow
ING The obvious result Is that foreign bankers
want 20 per cent more interest for Il loan OF
many millions than they were willing 10 accept
under the protective tariff which they so per
sistently denounced.
Perhaps there IS long headed calculation be-
hind their advocacy Of a National policy which
places the Treasury of the United States at
their mercy. For thirty years the Government
Of this country dictated terms to the bankers OF
the world When Secretary Window saw fit TO
cut down the rate OF interest on more than
S7OO,OOO,OOO OF the Government bonds then out
standing he found no difficulty. He named his
terms. and the bankers Of all the world were
compelled to accept them. But to-day the policy
which rules Is that Of the Rothschilds and the
Belmonts-an English instead OF an American
policy 1t costs us Il good many millions. and
the people have 10 foot the bill.

With the Wilson brand OF craftsmanship to re-
duce the National revenues to point away be-
low the fixed charges Of the Government, and the
Carlisle Gle leland brand OF craftsmanship to
supply the deficiency through an enormous In
crease Of the country's interest bearing debt,
the American people are just now witnessing an
impressive demonstration OF the peculiar econ
omy introduced by the old sailor. who when he
found his blanket too short. cut half yard off
the foot OF the covering and sewed 1t on to the
other end. and then shook hands with himself
over his extreme cleverness.

With Republicans in control. there should be

of Animal Industry Is 10 look after the stamp

results as respects the agricultural interests OF

IJncoln's birthday this year. as our columns
hear witness was celebrated with fervor In Il
large number Of cities. The interest in this an
piversary Is growing steadily and healthilys and
the feeling in favor of making February II
National holiday, as was strongly urged by the
late Hannibal Hamlin, Is undoubtedly gaining
ground. Lincoln Is deserving OF this honor, ana
the only objection TO 1t we can think or Is that
his birthday falls so close to that OF Washing

We rejoice at the passage Of the bill making
