How Bicycles Are Bought.

Il wonder where On earth the money
comes from to pay for all these wheels9''
said the first passenger.
You arc not the only one who wonders
about it, said the other passenger Its
an everyday conundrum with a host of
people wondered at it myself until a
day or two ago Then found out some
thing that set me to calculating. We have
an Office boy and pay him 81 week-every
cent he's worth. A day or two ago he
came up stairs carrying q brand new
wheel
Whose wheel, Jimmic2' I asked.
Mine, he answered 'Ain'l she a

Yours l echoed. How can you af-
ford a 800 wheel:
Easy, he answered. Instnl,mcnt, you
know. Five plunks down and five a
month till she's paid for
And that's how it happens that 81
week boy can secure a 800 wheel And
guess you'll find that Only one case in q
thousand Of tho same sort. Cleveland

A prominent Democrat says that Scna-
tor Gray has completely ruined his poiti-
col prospects, and when his Senatorial term
expires, he will retire to private life. Ills
dinner kettle speech and his promise of a
dollar bushel for wheat, contributed
greatly to that end but the browning act
Of his career is his refusal to endorse the
nomination Of Bryan and Sewall and the
platform..of,principles on which they stand.
The Senator cannot expect the support Of
Democrats if he refuses to uphold their
various heresies and hence the predict ion
made above. John +. salisbury is evil

The silver craze was at its height in the
States west of the Mississippi last year
just rs high if not higher than now, and
yet the Republicans carried the following
States Saskatchewan by 1000 majority; Col
orado by 1900; Idaho by 5000; Iowa by
$4,000; Kansas by &c, 900; Montana by 5000;
Nebraska by 5000; North Dakota by IA
900; Oregon by 5000; South Dakota by
1900; Minnesota by 10000; Utah by 1000;
Washington by 0,Ooo Wyoming by 1000.
Last fall, with the same depression as that
which now exists and the same desire for
restored tariff, the Republicans carried
every State west of the Mississippi
except Nevada, which gave the Populists
5Oo.
The Democrats and Populists then ran
separate tickets, and they may again, but
II they can thoroughly unite the Republi-
cans, rs shown by last years returns, can
beat them in Colorado Iowa Kansas, Min
nesota, North and South Dakota and Wy
oming, and yet Mckinley can be elected
without an electoral vote from any of
these States

Undue LIaAte.

As the different parties in our State
have up to the first of October to make
up and Ale their nominations and decide
on the name of their party, 1t seems to us
that the Clerks of the Peace are in need
less hurry in going to Dover tomorrow to
decide the contest between the different
branches Of the Republican party. They
might have waited until the visit of the
National Republican Committee to our
city, before they took action, with great
propriety. Undue haste is one of the mis-
takes Of the times, and If not too late to
delay the matter, we would suggest that
more time be allowed for thought.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. March 21.-Thursday last
which in the Catholic calendar was st. JOS
eph's day, is always marked in this city by
unique celebration at the Home of the
Aged, under the cars of the Little Sisters of
the Poor. This is the one day in The year
when the Little Sisters are missed from their
daily rounds. and are themselves the re-
cipients of that kindness and care they so
freely bestow on their charges at all other
times. Thursday some of the best known
women in Washington's society circles took
charge of the home and waited on the sisters
and their aged wards. Mrs. Pauncefote. wife
or the British ambassador. Mrs. Romero.
wife OF the Mexican minister, and many
others or similar rank and station became
Mattresses and attendants for the time being
and set and arranged the tables for their
guests and then waited on them. These gilt
tering lights OF Washington's society, nattily
attired in linen aprons and caps, tripped
lightly around the table. supplied with food
or their own cooking. and with quick and at
tentive fingers handed about the plates and
dealt out portions of food as though their
whole lives had been spent in the service of
others instead OF receiving such service
After the dinner had been finished they
washed the dishes and cleaned ND the tables
with humility that seemed almost real
and then took up the task OF entertaining
their aged friends. In the old mems refec-
tory they had music and similar light pleas
ures, after which they took their departures
