Our Merchants Should Encourage
the Bicycle Meet.

The Frederick Bicycle Club has re-
celved a letter from Chief Consul w.
Sans, of the Maryland Division l.. A.
w., saying the Mary land Division pro-
poses to hold a State race meet for
wheelmen, on July 3rd and 4th, next,
and that the meet would be awarded
TO the town or city offering the meet
the greatest inducements in the way
OF entertainment, railroad fare, etc.
Ihe President of the Frederick Bicycle
CLUB held special meeting on Tues
day night, and appointed a committee
to look into the matter and get an esti-
mate OF the cost of the proposed meet
ana TO call on our business men and
see If they could be sufficiently inter
esIed To insure the necessary financial
ala. The many smooth pixies center
Ing in our city will be "a great INDUCE
ment for the Elders. and If our mer-
chants will contribute literally there
VIII be little doubt about securing the
meet. Participants in these meets us
ually have plenty of money and use it
freely, and as they would likely spend
several days in the city, good round
sum would remain when thew left.
In 1889, when there was only one
wheelman to fifty at the present time,
an IL. A. w. meet was held in Hagers-
town, and it is estimated that $4,000
was spent in the city during that time.
we might natui ally expect very
mucn larger sum should the meet be
held here.

The Cuban Affair.

AT last there seems to be sign of re-
turning sense in Congress, and in the
Senate on Wednesday, Mr.. Hoar, of
Massachusetts,, literally went for some
of his colleagues "tooth and toe mai"
and showed up their duplicity in the
Cuban affair to the Queens taste. He
accused Senator Sherman of having
party advantage more in mind, than
the standing of this country on this
delicate subject. After ripping several
ambitious Senators up the back, to the
nape of the neck, he showed that the
Senate had not been informed as to the
condition in Cuba and characterized
the resolutions as "without vigor, po-
tency or meaning" A great many OF
our best posted and brightest minds,
have not hesitated to severely criticise
the hasty action of both Senate and
House in this matter. Mr.. Hoar began
by offering resolution postponing the
entire Cuban question until April the
9th, and directing the Committee on
Foreign Relations 10 make inquiries III
the meantime He went on at length
to say that he favored the resolutions
offering the good offices of the President
towards securing the independence OF
Cuba, but bitterly opposed any proc
lamation of sympathy. We had, he
thought, far more to lose in such a
course than we had to gain. and those
who have been the loudest in clamor-
ing for the advocacy of Cuban beliger-
ency are ignorant of the rudi-
ments of international law. His
remarks produced great effect in
the Senate, and it is probable that other
prominent Senators will follow in his
footsteps. 1t is matter which needs
to be handled with great care.

Democratic Gains.

Says the Buffalo Times: The vicinity
elections on Tuesday show Democratic
gains This is not extraordinary, but
it is significant. The only Republican
victory of note was at Niagara Falls.
The result was the outcome of Demo-
cratic dissensions. 1t was not essenti-
ally Republican victory at all. In
Hornellsville, Democratic Mayor
succeeds a Republican Mayor In
Dunkirk VIM. Bookstaver, a stalwart
and able Democrat, takes the place ola
Republican as Chief Executive. The
Board of Councilman, the city's legis-
lative body, will have Democratic
majority. 1t has had Republican
majority. In Ontario County there is
gain of three in the Board of Super
visors. This is remarkable because
this county is a rock-ribbed Republican
stronghold. Apparently a Democratic
gain has been made in Wayne County.
In the elections in Livingstone COun-
ty the Democrats have made a gain of
| two Supervisors. In the Stuben
County Board two Democrats will sue
coed two Republicans. Chautauqua
COunty's new board will have three
Democratic Supervisors where it had
but one heretofore. There will be an
increase of two Democrats in the Cat
taraugus County Board of Supervisors.
I 10 hn re
have been making important inroads
on the Republican offices. For three
years back the news of elections has
brought nothing but distress to the
Democatic heart. The town meeting,
the crossroads village election and the
municipal and county elections have
all told the same dismal story of ere
publican gains" Now the tune
changes. Headlines over the reports
of recent elections read "Uniform DEM
ocratic Gains"
This is an encouraging sign. 1t indi-
Gates a reversal of sentiment in the ru-
raj districts. The good sense of the
countryman is telling him that he has
made an ass of himself in blaming the
Democratic party for the unfortunate
but unavoidable business depression.
1t is only question of time when
the Democratic party will be itself
again. Victories are in store for it.
The Raines bill will help the reaction
against the Republicans. New York
State will go Democratic next fall. 1t
will be strange if Democratic Presi-
dent is not Notwithstanding
the arrogant confidence of the Republi-
cans at the present time.

THE two branches of the City Coun-
Gil of BaltimoN City, on Monday even
ing last passed over Mayor Hooper's
vetoes, the ordinances which take
from him the right 10 appoint officers
in the various branches of the city
government. There has been a bitter
fight raging between the Mayor and
and Council, for some weeks past, on
the question Of "spoils," the Council
men being backed up by the american
and the place-hunters of the party,
while His Honor, the Mayor, had the
endorsement of the better element of
his party and the several daily papers.
The COuncilmen assert that their ac-
ton was taken in consequence of the
Mayor not consulting" with them as
to who should be appointed, and be-
cause of his grieUous ofense in appoint
ing several Democrats to office. On
the other hand, it is asserted that the
Councilmen were determined to have
the "lOaves andifshes," which the pol
icy of the Mayor made impossible. We
delight to see these little family diff
culties in the house of our Republican
friends, as it must convince the good
people of Baltimore that the sooner
they return to the old condition of
affairs, the sooner will their troubles
be ended.

Then he will be at home occasionally

The lump was probably two or three

heard on the subject. Capitalists are

The track is of boards and in poor con-

Proportion and Symmetry.

What is a well-proportjoned wais
Lady Haberton says: THE true PR
portion is difference of ten inches b
tween the circumference of the bus
and that of the waist. Thus woms-
whose bust measures 36 inches shou
have waist measuring 26 inches. But
40 inches, waist 80 inches, and so o.
Very few corsets are made in this pr
portion, and if they were, still few
people would buy them, as fashion d.
crees that the waist should measu1
from IL to Is inches less than the bust.
In the course of time, women may com
to realize that true artistic effect
only attained by proper respect fl
proportion and symmetry. Plenty a,
knowledge this truism in most thing
but dress, where they cannot avoid fy
ing to extremes.-The Gentlewcman.
