A new danger which has sprung up
IN our city, threatening pedestrians
With deadly consequences, is that
mode OF bicycling known as scorch-

The bicycle IS unlike other veh,-
Giles, 10 that it is practically noiseless,
and creeps up on one unawares, do
ing damage in the twinklfng Of an
eye. The city has legislated against
other rapid conyeyances, none Of
which could equal the bicycle In
point Of danger, and il should now
exercise its Judgment on the imprac-
ticabiIity Of scorching. Other cities
lave recognized the Importance OF
reducing,the unlimited speed of cy-
clers, and heresi in Bay st. Louis, a
city in proportion TO its size with as
great number Of bicycles as any
city in the world, does IL become
especially necessary for the board
to pass an ordinance prohibiting
scoTchIng and toincidentally regu
late the maximum speed.
We trust there will be no objection
raised to this request to the board /,
as true wheelmen should not mind
foregoing a mode Of cycling that is
neither pleasant nor profitable. The
novice may find fault, but it Is from
this source the principle danger lies,
and the board should pull the relns.

upon The vocabulary of arraignmeut

Yreal purpose TO be "hostility to the

understanding of the mission of the

for the indignant opposition it has

1t is the offspring Of a pestilential

is an organization which proposes to
play no small part in American poll

politics which a secret oath-bound
organization can serve. The whole
people are equally interested in the
welfare of the country and none
hould be refused an equaIshare with
the rest in every deliberation and in

tical clubs, societies and associations
start on their career with pro essions
skillfully drawn, so as to make it ap-
pear that their purposes are patriotic
and worthy Of support; but all Of
them as soon as they have obtained
power, are used by unprincipled men
to do wrong. This is the history CT

the A. p. A. unless its evil tenden-

American people and its dangerous
career stopped by. their good sense
