BIKE AND BI40oSiERs.

Among the latest forms of army bicy-
cles, says an English authority, is an
invention, recently invented at a cycle
show. which might be described as a
fighting wheel. A machine gun is
mounted on. the head of the bicycle in
such manner that it can be directed
at any desired angle. The gun is al
tomatically fed with cartridges, and
intended to be operated by the rider
without stopping The machine.

A Jacksonville bicyclist had an ex-
per:ence the other day that he is not
likely to forget very soon. A number
of young men decided to ride down the
track to Orange park and then come
back by train. The journey was with
out special incident until after the
party had gone several miles from the
city, when George Irwin ran against
an obstruction and tumbled headlong
into the ditch beside the track. His
arm and shoulders went into the wa
ter, which was covered with bonnets.
AS he was raising himself out of the
water he happened to glance over his
shoulder, where his wheel lay, and to
his horror he saw a large water moe
casin crawling through the spokes in
the front wheel. The young man
quickly regained his feet and then
stood at respectful distance until the
snake had succeeded in crawling
through the wheel and disappeared.
Mr. Irwin does not know whether it
was the snake that he ran over and
which threw him off the wheel, or
whether his fall into the water stirred
the reptile UP. Anyhow, the snake
was misunderstanding Fla.) Citizen

So many bicyclists have been OBJ
served recently suffering from clogged
chains that a word of advice, which
has been given before in this place,
may with propriety be repeated: Oil
the chain-nothing is more necessary
but be sure not to have it wet Each
link should be thoroughly fabricated.
and then the chain should be rubbed
dry. No amount Of rubbing, it should
be remembered, can remove the oil
from the parts between the links where
it is needed, and not a particle Of oil
is required on the exterior surface
The drier that is. the better The oil,
If exposed, picks up and holds dust and
adds greatly to the friction. The same
advice applies to all oiling. If so much
is put in the bearings that some over
flows, and it is not wiped off, dust will
gather at the spot, and, even in the
best made bearings, some of it will
almost certainly work into the balls
and make trouble. And even if it does
not get so far, the punches of dust so
accumulated datract from the appear
5nce of an otherwise well-groomed
machine, and render the cleaning after
a run twice as difficult as it need be.
The fact is, that more wheels are over
oiled than under-oiled. Carrying
canary" as the "wheelmen" call rid
ing with a dry bearing that screeches.
is not half so common as a dust-buried
bearing. Of course, of the two, the
latter is preferable, but no rider need
have either=New York Post

Lively as a Cricket.

Although in the first instance as sluggish as
tortoise the kidneys become as lively as
cricket when healthful impulse is given to
them with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, pro-
moter of activity in these organs which coun-
teraets a tendency to their lethargy and disease.
Inaction of the kidneys, it should be remem-
bered, is the first stage of those dangerous renal
maadies against which the resources OF medi-
cal science are too often exhausted in vain.
Peril is forestalled by the Bitters, which averts
Bright's disease, diabetes, dropsy, gravel and
the troubles arising from a weak bladder.
Equally efficacious is it in checking and eradi-
eating malarial, bilious and nervous ailments,
dyspepsia, constipation and rheumatism. APP
petite and sleep are improved and canyales-
cense fastened by its benifcent action. Either
when health is slightly or seriously impaired,
the value of this restorative and preventive
medicine is speedily made manifest.

GREENBACKs cost the country
nothing but paper and printing,
while bonds cost us paper, printing,
and millions of dollars in interest
every six months. 1t is supposed
that currency is issued only to the
amount of gold and silver bullion
in Uncle Sans vaults. In the end
all greenbacks have to be paid by
the Government, and every dollar
OF paper money represents such a
deposit in a Government bank.-Er.

THE Naval inspection board has
made its report on the battle-ship
Texas and as a result the Texas will
probably go out of commission and
be sent to the Norfolk Navy Yard
to have her bottom strengthened
and other defects remedied. The
Texas is the result of very brill
liant idea which got into the head
of Hon. w. c. Whitney, when he
was Mr.. Cleveland's Secretary of
the Navy. He thought the English
could design better ships than the
Americans, and he paid out good
American money to Englishmen
for the plans of the Texas, although
prominent naval officers did not
hesitate to say that the plans were
bad. Long before the Texas was
half done it was seen that the orig
inal plans would have to be modifi-
ed to considerable extent in order
to prevent the launching being a
sinking. Newspaper readers are
familiar with the series of mishaps
which the Texas has met during
the short time she has been in COM
mission. If ex-Secretary Whitney
has followed the Texas, as he doubt
less has-in the newspapers, not
literally he probably doesn't think
as highly Of English ship designs
as he did.

JUGGLING sTATEsMANsHIP.

For the last six months evidence
of collision between the President
of the United States and his am
bassador to Great Britain, on the
one side, and Lord Salisbury and
his cabinet on the other, with re-
gard to the Monroe doctrine, has
been accommodating. On the 18th
of the present month the people
were startled by bold, manly, and
patriotic declaration, signed by the
President of the United States,
which had been carefully prepared
and couched in good English by
Mr.. Olney, Secretary of State. The
message breathed the spirit of pa
triotism, and furnished evidence
that the author of the message was
imbued with true spirit of Amer
| icanism. The sentiment of the
|
message was echoed and re-echoed
throughout the land. 1t was in
harmony with the aspirations of
the American people. 1t gave them
courage and hope that British ag
gression on the American continent
might end. Congress made haste
to approve the message, and gave
the President 100000 for a COM
mission, which was what he asked
and all he asked. The people re-
sponded to the action of Congress,
and the glow of patriotism spread
over the land from oceon to oceon,
and from lakes to the gulf; but,
while Congress was endorsing the
patriotic message which they had
received from the White House, the
President of the United States was
plotting a raid on the financial
credit of his country. Before the
final vote WAS taken in the Senate,
granting the appropriation asked
by the President, the private Sec
rotary oil the Executive was wait
ing at the door with message
which showed the Senate and the
country that the patriotic message
which Congress had endorsed was
a sham and delusion, for speculative
and not purposes. In the message
which dispelled the illusion that it
was possible for Grover Cleveland
to entertain American sentiments,
he informed Congress that it was
necessary, in maintaing the Monroe
doctrine, to destroy the greenbacks
and Treasury notes, and thereby
contract the circulating medium
five hundred millions more; and it
was necessary, in order to maintain
the Monroe doctrine, to strengthen
our credit with English money
loaners by destroying all our mon
ey but gold, and to apply to Cred
itor England for a loan of gold
with which to resist her aggressions
on this continent.

ON The OTHER FOOT.

A few months ago the Republican
papers of Carson strenuously en-
deavored to create the impression
that the Silver party and the Sill
yer party only, was responsible for
the Mint shortage.
These utterances were echoed by
every goldbug sheet in the State,
but since investigation has proven
that the shortage occurred before the
Silver men had aught to do with
the Mint, the gold papers have
maintained studied silence on the
subject and evidently do not want
the thieves prosecuted. The Silver
papers want no man convicted be-
cause he is a gold man, but they do
want the thieves who have been
plundering the Government and
depositors at the Mint hunted down
and punished whether they call
themselves gold men or Silver men.
Partisanism should not be a shield
to robbers for if it is used to protect
them, the ends Of justice will be de-
feated.
The Silver party papers, SO far as
can be judged from what they say,
do not want Mr.. Jones or anybody
else railroaded to prison, but in
common with all good citizens, they
want every man, regardless of poll
tics, who robbed depositors and the
Government while in the Mint, con-
victed and punished. Journal.

SAN Francisco has had carni-
val of crime for the past year or so.
The Brown-Davidson- Overman case
is the latest sensation, and it is as
dirty as the most depraved could
wish to read about. Matte Over
man in writing to Mrs. Tunnel
about her laison with Rev. Brown
thus lays the lash on the hypocra-
cy of the church;
There is no life in the religious
skeleton called the church. Who
ever expects strength of example
from church militants will find
their idols clay. 1t is simply a
worldly corporation to teach morals
and practice bestiality as rule.
The world would be better were
they all laid low, their sins laid
bare. Then money might clothe the
needy and feed the poor, which now
builds high steeples wherein to dis
grace God and humanity.
No better pen picture of clerical
hypocracy was ever put in such
few words.
Miss Matte Overman acknowl-
edges over her signature that Brown
seduced her. Mrs. Cooper is urging
Brown to confess. Mrs. Davidson

authorities are trying to choke off

lon. Persia. Greece and Rome were
dwelt upon to prove that they prosper
ed because of obedience to God COM
mandments and decayed because OF dis
regard for his laws.
Why did these nations decay ana
pass away? 1t is told in one WORD OF
three letters-Sin. And how has II
been in modern times? We Will ma
bv historical research, that the nations
that have been the most obedlent 10
God and have let the gospel OF Chrlst
have the freest course, have prospered
the most. China and India have names
to live. but are really dead. They de-
pend upon foreigners for most OF their
Drogress and success. They are heath
en- nations. and their only salvation Is
the infusion of the religion or Jesus
Christ. BY this they may be revived
as japan has been. Let us turn our
ewes to Europe. The most powerful
nation in Europe in the days of the Ref
ormation. was Spain. Spain under
Charles the Fifth and Philip the Sec
ond. stood at the head OF European
powers. 1t dominated a good part OF
Europe and of the New World. But
the Inouisition was erected and the be-
levers in the pure and simple religion
of Jesus Christ were put to death, ana
SPANS decline began and has contlnu-
ed. until to-day she is but third or
fourth-rate power, one of the weakest
and most despised of Europe. Inc
next greatest state of Europe IN the
davs of the Reformation, was Austria,

gospel was suppressed and Austria de-
clined. Ii is still a considerable power

alliance with Germany for its saliva
ton. The Papal states are no more
and Italy arose on their foundatlon'
but Italy is but a second-rate power.
France is still a great power but she
has'certainly suffered much Tor the
slppression of the Hugenots.
The two great powers Of Europe TO-
dav. are England and Germany. Ihey
were both small and insignificant IN
the DAYS of the Reformation, but they
spread their gates to the pure rellg-
ion of the gospel and have prospered.
America also became the asylum lot
those who were prosecuted for ChrlsI

prosperity of those who obey the Cos
pel of Jesus Christ. Thus we find that
the dominion of the earth has gone
into the hands of Christians in the ra-
ito in which they have held the gospel
of Christ in its purity. The nations
that have given the gospel OF Christ
the fullest sway have in modern times
risen to pre-eminence. Pure and I'M
detiled gospel religion is after all the
real safe guard Of the nation. 1t IS the
only sure foundation Of continued pros
