MANITOWOC AND IT'S HARBOR.

We have been naglecting our haI-
bOr for some time and vessels drawing
II feet OF water find it difficult to get
up to the coal docks If we had been
doing some work each year we could be
approaching the 2O-foot channel which
it is absolutely essential we must have
in the near future. Sheboygan has
done this work and has now 20 foot
channel inside the shore line and al
most as far up as tie river is nav
igable.
We mnst begin to put ourselves IN
readiness to be able to manage the
business which the new railroad VIII
bring us. The man who refuses t.
lay out cent toward keeping his
business up with the times viii soop
have no business to manage Mani
toBoc did not take advantage of the
facilities offered by the AIil. Lake
Shore q Western, thinking the road
itself would bald up the city. We
remained a big village and preyed
upon one another.
Unless we are up and moving the
new road Will be a positive detriment
to Us, We must not sit down and eX
pact others to DO for us what we are
too INDECENT or too indifferent TO dc
for ourselves.
1t Is a serious reflection on our city
thai a boat drawing IL feet of water
cannot pass between Sth and 10th
street bridges without great difficulty
We cannot boast Of our haIOor while
this condition Of affairs exist 1t is
patent to every one that the commerce
Of the lakes is being done by large
craft. Tbs may be unfortunate but il
is the fact nevertheless aud we must
recognize it. Lake traffic more than
any other commercial facility helps
to build up place. The young giant
cities on Lake Superior are proof OF
this.
1t does not hurt a city to be in debt
If the debt is contracted for something
valuable, something which will bring
in ,arSo returns, something which viii
bring us wealth. Shall steps be taken
to deepen the river?

THE LAW AND THE WHEEL.
Legal Status of the Bicycle Accordin
to judicial Decisions.

Legal Status of the Bicycle According
to judicial Decisions.
The use of the bicycle for the purpose
Of locomotion and travel is so recent
that as yet there is little adjudication as
to the rights and liability OF travellers
employing it upon the highway, but
the trend of judicial authority seems to
place the wheel on plane OF equality
with other vehicles. The early advent
If the bicycle met with strenuous OPP
position, both from pedestrians and
agencies of the road, the former con-
tending that it was a vehicle and should
be excluded from the sidewalk, and the
latter asserting that it was an obJe0
of terror, the use of which was perilous,
in that it frightened horses. But by de-
grees this child of adversely began to
be recognized by the courts and its legal
status to be established. Finally lis
paternity was established and 1t was
placed in the category of carriages and
vehicles. Although Blackstone, Coke
and other common law jurists never
experienced the sensation Of spin on
bicycle, yet, we look to the law of the
mother country for the earliest cases
involving the law of the wheel. The
authorities, almost without exception,
now recognize the bicycle as a car
rage" or vehicle" entitled to the
rights Of carriages and vehicles in gem
eral. and no longer regard it as an OBJ
struction to. or an unreasonable use
of the streets or roads, but rather a new
| and improved method of using the
| same. and "germane to their principal
use as a pathway" One Taylor, an
| Englishman, was the first to take the
| bicycle into court, and the case OF Tay-
| lor against Goodwin is a leading one.
| Mr.. Goodwin sprinted on certain ROAD
! in violation of a statute making the
| furious driving of carriage upon the
highway an offense. Upon the trial he
| did not deny the allegation Of immod-
crate speed, but contended that the BIZ
| cycle was not carriage" and that the
word driven" as ordinarily understood
was not applicable to the bicycle, and
that the mere fact that it had wheels
did not make it a carriage any more
than a wheelbarrow or roller skates.
But the court was of the opinion that it
was a carriage in the full sense of the
word, and that persons riding it may be
said to drive" it in the sense that an
engineer drives an engine, although he
guides as well as propels it. Investiga-
ton discloses similar American authori
ties. In applying the established law
of the road to the wheel, probably it is
not entitled to the dignity of carriage
and while there is no authority for the
statement, it seems that the wheelman
In riding on the road should be governed
by the immemorial usage and custom
| applicable to horsemen. 1t has been
held that there is no law requiring &
man on horseback to turn either to the
right or to the left hand. He should b5
governed by his notions Of prudence.
horseman should yield the Travelled
track to a vehicle where he can do 81

WHAT GOVERNMENTS OWNERSHIP
OFRAILROADS WOULD
President O. d. ASHLEY, IN the No
Ucmbcr Forum.
LEAD TO.

Among the remedies proposed for
raiiway troubles is that of government
ownership ana control, and this propo
,itjon is supported by two distinct
:lasses: the honest and we'll meaning,
Who would acquire the properties by
purchase: and the others, of anarchical
Sympathi 5, who would accomplish
he object by cOntiscation. The latter
may be found III the ranks of the
Populists. referring to the first
proportion, which contemplates fair
valuation and purchase. and which is
therefore entitled to some respect as
honest expression of opinion, it must
have become sufficiently obvious from
practical experience, as illustrated by
recent developments in Australia. that
such solution of our railway prob
lem would be undesirable even We're
1t available; but there are serious
obstacles to governmental control in
our case which no plans hitherto sub
United to the public have taken into
consideration. Here is one proposed,
for example, which tries to demon
strate the feasibility of the scheme of
purchase, which goes into a calcu-
latlon of the net earnings of all lines
during the year, and upon the result
proposes to issue B per cent govern
ment stock in exchange for the railway
property at a fair valuation. But
here the calculator ignores the fact
that at least one-half of the valuation
would represent mortgage debt
bearing an average interest of at least
per cent, and he does not seem to
realize that these mortgages are con-
tracts which cannot be touched by
any legislation, except at the peril of
a revolution. No right of eminent
domain. no legislation for the public
good. can impair the inviolability of
contracts. It would then be neces-
sary to recognize these mortgages,
and the proposed issue of 3 per cent
government stock would subject
Government to a heavy loss. This
would be intolerable. | only mention
this as fair illustration of the crudi-
ties of thought not uncommon even
among men of education and high
character. Beyond this is the antag
onism of a free people to the concentra-
ton of power and patronage in the
hands of the privileged few, which
would be at once provoked. This last
named obstacle has been deliberately
disccssedin the railroad literature of
the day. 1t will be an astonishing exam
pie of retrograde movement if such a
scheme is ever seriously entertained in
the United States One might then
anticipate recognition of the divine
right of kings" under such change in
popular opinion, or the restoration of
feudal privileges, so great appears
the surrende. of the personal liberty
for which men struggled for ages.

Good Roads in Connecticut.

The good-roads movement in Con-
necticut, which was started by the last
session of the legislature, has proved to
be a popular one, eighty of the towns
having applied to the highway commits
sion for the state aid provided by the
statute This means good many
miles of roads built according to the
specifications of the state commission
and under its practical supervision.
Each section of road ordered has to be
visited by one or more members of the
commission. who are all practical men
and one Of them an engineer, before
the state money can be given. The
popularity of the movement had not
oeen anticipated, the legislators ap-
parently not realizing the desire OF the
people Of the state, especially of the
farming sections, to establish better
transportation for their products.

LOVE AT GREAT ALTITUDE.
Lady Who Climbs Mount Rainier
Winds Up by Marrying Her Guide.

Winds Up by Marrying Her Guide.
Henry Carter, the famous Mount
Rainer guide, has fallen in love under
romantic circumstances, and will be
married by Rev. William NJ. Jeffries,
the first preacher who delivered ser
mon on top of the mountain. There is a
possibility that Carter will be married
On top of the mountain, the place where
he fell in love last Tuesday night, with
the thermometer registering 20 degrees
below zero. He is TO marry Cora Beach
man, school teacher, and the belle Of
Lake Park, a suburb of Tacoma, says
the Globe-Democrat.
Miss Beachman, accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. f NJ. Groe of Eatonville, set
out Tuesday with Carter, the most
trusted of ali the mountain guides, to
ascend Mount Rainier. At Gibraltar
rock, which corresponds to the ''shoul-
der of the Matterhorn, 1000 feet from
the summit, Mrs. Groe became eX-
hausted. Miss Beachman declared her
intention to reach the summit at all
hazards Carter led the way, but soon
lost his ice ak. and in scaling difficult
passes they were compelled to rely
solely on their alpenstocks. They did
not reach the summit until 6 p. m, too
late TO attempt the descent that night.
They had left Paradise Valley, below
the snow line, without wraps, and only
a lemon and one sandwich each in the
way of provisions. Carter selected a
sheltered ice cave formed by jets of
steam from the crater, and there they
passed a sleepless night, discussing all
sorts of topics, and before they left the
summit, at a. m. Wednesday, Miss
Beachman had promised to marry the
guide. The instant they left the steam
of the ice cave their clothes were frozen
stiff, and they suffered great hardships
in descending. A rescue party organ
lied during the day, came to their re-
lief late in the afternoon, after they had
been without food over twentyfour
hours.

The Importance of Dress.

II have one bit of advice to give to
est in to talk to at all about such mat
ters," said one of Washington's most
fashionable tailors to a reporter, in the
course of a casual conversation. and
that is to dress as well as his means
will permit. Dress may not make the
man, but dress lends so per cent Of
value to a man that is a man. The
world is full of youths who could dress
far better than they do if they had a
Just appreciation of their value Their
idea is to save money on clothes, but
they follow the poorest system of econ
omy that l know of. A fashionable
suit imparts finished appearance to a
man, and such is the weakness or van
ity of the world that of half a dozen
men equally talented it will invariably
pin it's faith in the one that is best
dressed. Not that a young mans re-
sponsibilisy ends with his tailor. The
fact is, there are three other points
in a gentleman's makeup that tell his
taste and character even more than
fashionable suit. The first is his hat,
the next his shoes, and between the
two, his cravat. Even a shabby suit
of clothes is thrown into the shade il
a man wears a good hat, shoes carefully
polished and piece of neckwear abso-
lutely clean and carefully tied. If
coupled with all this he wears a clean
collar and clean cuffs. he may pass for a
gentleman on prima facie evidence
wherever he chooses TO go in the bust
ness world. All combined form the
passport to good society. The rest is
with himself

the Third Story Alone.
During the fire at the Gilbert S.
Graves starch works on Court street
Buffalo the other morning AS
sistant Chief Murphy did what
not one man in 1000 would do if
he could. The assistant chief saw
smoke pouring from the windows of
the third floor, and as no truck had ar
rived and it was absolutely necessary
for some one to get to the seat of the
trouble at once, he determined in some
way to get to the third floor without
waiting for ladder. The doors and
windows of the first floor were tightly
closed, but the windows all over the
building were guarded by horizontal
iron bars. Seeing but one possible
means to attain his end Murphy
climbed up the grating on a window of
the first floor and was just able to
reach the lowest bar on the second
story window. Selling this bar he drew
himself up till in the same way he had
reached the window on the third floor,
the bars of which he also climbed, to
see big pile of blazing material in one
corner of the room. The bars over the
window were of heavy iron, close to-
gether and fastened to the window
castings with long bolts and screws.
Murphy thrust one arm around two
bars and with the other hand wrenched
from its fastenings the upper bar, tear
in Mo- h
side of the building. Through the
small opening thus made he crawled
into the room and soon was able to see
the flames extinguished. This feat is
most remarkable in view of the fact
that less than two years ago Murphy
broke both his arms in falling through
a hatctxay in building on Elk street
market, an injury that will be felt by
him as long - he lives.
