NOTE AND COMMENT.

Metropolitan Capitalization has re-
ceived, it is said by good authority, a
decided check by the construction of the
very many rapid transit lines out of
cities into suburban parts. But to these
agencies has been added the bicycle, and
good authority also ayers that the de-
mand for outside homes has increased
in just the proportion that the use of
the wheel has grown. When it was a
matter Of rapid transit roads only, the
latter were always in advance of Su-
burban development. A small machine,
indeed, to work such important results.
But there is a reason plain to view
the rapid transit road company must
charge fare, the bicycle charges none,
and so small a sum as 10 cents a, day
to the wage Garner, going from and
coming to his home, means a very con-
siderable sum Of money in a year Of
time.
The Stockton independent" one of
the sterling, clean, good and able papers
OF the coast, is out in a new dress and
an eight-page form. 1t has introduced
the Linotype machines, and is thus en-
abled to enlarge it's capacity to print the
news. 1t is a journal that commands
our respect and deserves well of the
community it SO intelligently and ably
represents.
The Atlanta Constitution asks the
question, rs insanity increasingly" 1t
was, in this section-but the Populist
Convention has adjourned and the dele
gates have gone to their homes.
Funny creatures are these women. A
manufacturer of bicycles presented the
members Of the Metropolitan Opera
house Company in New York with BIZ
cycles and suits. Thereupon they all
proceeded to learn to ride. Among the
women is one who is invariably cast
for male parts, is the boy juvenile Of the
troupe, and lives a third of her life in
male costume Of the operate order.
Now this little woman was the only one
of the entire lot who objected to bloom
ers as a bicycle costume. She thought
short skirts immodest, and declined to
expose her ankles on a wheel AS the
Critic" well says, There is everything
in what one is accustomed to. A woman
will go to the opera in a dress cut so
low that she ought to be sent home,
and yet If strange man should catch
her in her dressing sack she would faint
from excess of modesty. The singer
was perfectly sincere in her objection
to the bicycle boomers"
The New York Critic in reviewing
THE Woman's Bible" says there are
some things higher than rights-duties.
Correct, and the woman suffragists
should ponder upon it. The duty that
underlies the privilege of the ballot is
mightier than the ballot in it's demands.
Before you take up the one pray con-
slider what the other will exact Of you.

In the United States Circuit Court
at San Francisco on Wednesday the
counsel for the Railway Commission
was driven to admit that the order for
the % per cent. rate reduction on rail-
way freights cannot stand and it con-
ceded that it should be repealed by the
Commission. Yet there was but one
morning paper in San Francisco that
was fair enough to publish the fact,
though for weeks they have all been
printing pages of argument on the
other side. 1t makes a difference

The Chicago Record" suggests to

ate then ever before. No. It Is because
we have on two recent occasions
shown spunk, and behind it are mass

armed Powers of Europe will tells us
that they will close it up in their own

turn the subscription to the Office of the Mer-
chants Association Immediately.
The necessity for the better Illumination for
the downtown district must be apparent to
every one, and as the amount which you are
called upon to pay us is only cents per front
aooo per month, we feel assured that the
amount contributed by you will be returned
many fold In the Improvement which your
property will receive
1t is a wellknown and generally admitted
fact that all merchants, and especially those
doing business along the line of Kearny street,
have been complaining OF the dullness of
trade for numb Der of years, and that it is only
fair and right to ask the assistance of property
owners in the movement that this association
has inangurated for tha better lighting of the
downtown district, which will certainly mat
rally aid in stimulating business.
1t is especially desirable to have these arc
lights installed before the holiday season,
hence we ask you to give this matter your inn
mediate attention.
Should this experiment prove successful,
this associa ion Will make strong efforts to IN
duce the m lleipality TO assume or pay for all
or part OF this necessary service, after the
beginning OF the next fiscal year.
The president of the Merchants Asso-
citation will call a meeting at an early
date Of all the .property-owners along
those principal blocks of the City that are
now paved with cobbles. There are q
numb ber OF blocks right in the heart of the
City, snch as Geary, Post and Stockton
streets, that are still marred with cobbles.
The committee on publicity and pro.
motion reported that the efforts of
the association in securing the site of
the Wllmerding School for San Fran
cisco proved successful with the Board
of Regents. 1t was through the efforts
of the Merchants Association that the
valuable evidence of the executors of
the will was procured, and this evidence
resulted IN the selection OF San Francisco.
Efforts will now be made to interest some
OF our patriotic property owners to donate
site for this school, so that the entire
endowment with interest, amounting to
5000, may be devoted wholly to the
purpose of providing the school with the
necessary appliances and Its proper MAIN
tenance,
