A fight which involves the future Con-
troll OF bicycle racing has been declared.
1t will be battle OF the millions OF at
least two manufacturers glinst the League
OF American Wheeimen. The contest has
been brought about by the somewhat arbi-
trary actions of the racing board recently.
One or more ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Chafing un-
der the racing boards lash They intend
to try and wrest the whip from the league,
take oontro! of racing, and put IL on the
same basis us baseball, which is SO succcss-
fully operated.
The prime movers in this new contest are
L. c. Stearns and Company, OF syracuse,
n. Y, and A. g. Spalding and Brothers, or
New York ,PhiladeIphia and Chicago. They
think that the l.. A. W has held untiisputrd
sway in cycling long enough, and they in
uendtot take mattcrsin their own hands and
bring about that which the old Cash Prize
League failed To do. That their task is a
hard one everybody conversant with the
present status OF racing must admit.
In fact, The position u the league seems
almost impregnable. Bicycle racing with

been successful. When professionalism was

THE GREAT VICTORY IN MAINE.

As Maine goes so goes the Union. The
Pine Tree state has given the largest Re-
publican majority in her history. and the
cause OF sound money and financial honesty
has won magnificent victory. OF course,
Maine is Republican state. and it was ex-,
pected that Mr.. Powers. Republican candi-
date for governor. would receive hand
some plurality, but no one. however san
guine, expected such a landslide. In every
town the gains were phenomenally large.
All issues were forgotten for the time being
except the question OF honest money. and
on this point the people of Maine seem
to be well nigh unanimous. The Republic
an gain over the vote of two years ago is at
least 40.00o. and Governor Powers plurality
will be more than $1,000.
There is deep significance in this splendid
result of the short and sharp campaign in
Maine. 1t seems an overwhelming victory
for the cause of honest money at the gen.
eral election. No other construction can be
placed upon 1t. The same causes which
wrought the result in Maine are at work
in every state in the Union. and in most of
them will produce the same kind Of re-
suits.
In thus pronouncing against reputation
and a debased currency the Republicans of
the Pine Tree state. were aided by thou
sands OF sound money Democrats. anxious
to condemn with the ballot the Chicago
platform Of dishonesty and revolution.
They were not squeamish as to the meth
DDS. and hence wisely decided to vote with
the Republicans and make 1t as nearly
unanimous as possible.
There will be great rejoicing all over the
land at the result in Maine. Sound money
men will be encouraged to keep up the
gallant fight SO well begun, and the free
silver repudiationists will be correspond
ingly cast down: and well they may be,
for they see the beginning Of the end.

dressed TO the chairman Of the congress
sional committee:

Dear Sir:-Under the call Of your COM
mittee the candidate for congress receiving
a plurality Of votes at the Republican pri-
maries in the wards of Kansas City and
In Blue township has the selection OF del
egates therefrom to the district convention.
"As some Of the wards gave me plural
ity. desire to notify the committee that
shall not name any delegates therefrom.
The methods obtaining at the primaries
were such-by the institution of test oaths
and other devices unheard of in the pri-
mary action Of a free people-by which
lifelong Republicans. and from your own
membership. were refused the right to a
vote. has absolved them from all response
bilfty to respect the results OF such action.
TO name any of them as delegates. or
anyone opposed to such methods. would
be placing them under renewed obligations
and conformation of the wrong inflicted
In the premises. This cannot do. SO far.

delegates from wards in which I received
a plurality. Very respectfully.

From the Chicago Times-Heraid.
A couple applied to rural justice Of
the peace for total divorce. The justice
called the bailiff aside and asked In a
whisper:

''You can't do it," replied the bailiR,
'it don't come under yer jurisdieton.''
Were willin' ter pay cash fer it," said
the husband. not understanding the nature
of the consultation. I've got the money

The justice looked grave. Then, adjust
ing his spectacles, and addressing the man,
said:

'twarn't fer me ter separate husban' an

why Watson Hurts.

From the Philadelphia Press.
II Mr.. Bryan were to be voted for d-
rectly. he and his managers could afford
to neglect the vice presidential split. Both
the Bryan-Sewall and the Bryan-Watson
votes would count for Bryan.
Electors block this inside of each state.
If in the same state there are Bryan
Sewall electors run and Bryan-Watson
electors, then Bryan cannot get an elect
oral vote from the state unless either one
or the other is' In a ma jority. Suppose in
Tennessee the vote is as 1t was In 1884, and
the Bryan-Sewall electors got the Demo-
cratic vote. Or 1oi. .35s; the Bryan-Watson
electors the Pcpulist vote of 2,oee. and the
Mckinley Hobart electors the Republican
would be elected. The fact that 127,4is
voters were for Bryan would not help
him an atom as long as this vote was di
vided between two electoral tickets.
This 10 the whip-hand which Mr.. Tom
Watson and Senator Marion Butler hold
over their Democratic friend, Senator
Jones, who was so certain a few short
weeks ago that the Populist would go to the
negro. where he belongs. After the Maine
election Dir. Thomas Watson will be louder
than ever, and Mr.. Sewail will either retire
or fusion will be impossible in the South
ern states.
II Mr.. Sewall Is retired, Bryan and Wat
son will have no chance in a debatabie
Northern state, because Democrats will
bolt. If Mr.. Sewall is not retired, Bryan
and SewaN will have no chance in the de-
batable Southern states, because the Pop
ulists will bolt.

MINERS AND FREE SILVER.

One Of the results Of free coinage Of sill
yer would be the shipment of large guam
titles of argentiferous galena from Mexico
and other foreign countries. The value OF
the lead product would more than pay for
separating the silver. and the latter would
go to the mint to be stamped into dollars
worth SO cents. Since the reduction of the
duty on galena by the Wilson bill large
quantities Of lead ores have been shipped
would be enormously increased under a
free and unlimited coinage act
Missouri is especially interested in this
matter. Her lead deposits cover a large
area, and are of immense value. With
adequate protection they could be devel-
employment to thousands of people at good
wages. As 1t is now. the lead industry OF
Missouri is languishing because of Demo-
cratic free trade legislation. Last year $50
mines produced but 5000 tons of lead ore
for the seven months ending with July.
1896. Mexico sent into the United States
77.6es,2S6 pounds of lead in pigs and bars.
JUST dS SOou dS Tree coinage act Is
passed the United States will become the
dumping ground OF millions of tons of sill
ver-bearing lead ore. displacing the prod
ucts of American mines and throwing
American miners out Of work.
There are many good arguments to show
how the free silver policy would work to
the detriment of the wage-earner in the
United States. but the wholesale importa-
ton of lead ores containing small quanti-
ties of silver. which would certainly take
place under free coinage. is of peculiar
concern to the miners of Missouri. Kan
sas is also interested for the same reason.
It is matter of practical interest to every
miner in the two states. and IL they serve
their own interests they will vote to sus-
tain policy that will keep out the prod
ucts Of cheap foreign labor and secure the
development of home industries. with en-
ployment to home labor at good wages,
paid in 100-cent dollars. That policy is the
policy of Mckinley and the Republican
party

FREE SILVER AND WAGES.
Some Questions Asked by . Mobile
Street Railway Conductor.


Here are some pertinent questions asked
by Mr.. W. L. Timberlake, a conductor on
the Mobile street railway. in an open letter
addressed to certain gentlemen of Mobile
who were to speak at a Bryan and Sewall
ratification meeting on the evening Of its
date:
want to know how will be affected
by having the financial plank of the Chi
cago platform made the law OF this coun-
try. With this purpose 1 respectfully re-
quest that one or all of you answer the fol-
lowing questions:
First-Will the free coinage of silver at a
ratio OF 1S to ] increase the rate of wages
now paid the workingmen in the United
States? If you say It will. please name me
some free coinage country in which the
workfngmen are paid wages as high as they
now receive in the United States.
Secondly-We are not only interested In
the rate OF wages, but also In the purchas-
ing power of the money in which wages
are paid. Is there a free coinage country
in the world where workingmen can buy
as much for dollar as he can now in the
United States?
of free coinage claim that 1t will increase
the nrice Of all commodities. If 1t should
increase the price Of the things which the
workingman has to buy and does not cor
respondtngly increase his wages. will he
not be most seriously affected by the
change?
Fcmrthly-Is 1t true that between 1850 and
1885, when the currency was inflated with
paper. the price of all commodities rose 1l6
per cent. while wages only rose 4S per cent?
Fifthly-If wages only increased about
one-third as much as the price of things
for which wages had to be exchanged be-
tween 1860 and 1865, when hundreds Of thou
sands Of laborers were In the field as SOL
diers, do you believe wages would increase
SO much under conditions that would fol-
low Mr. Bryan's election?
Sixth!y-The railroads Of the country de-
rive their incomes exclusively from freight
and passenger tariffs that are practically
fixed by laws enforced by state and inter-
state commissions. If free coinage in
creases the price Of all the commodities
necessary to the operation of railroads, and
their income is kept down by law. can the
large body OF men employed in the service
hope for an increase of wages? AS mat
ter Of fact, would not q cut in wages be
about the only way in which the railroads
could meet the increased cost OF operation?
Seventhly-The street railway systems of
this country are operated under municipal
ordinances which fix their income at
cents per passenger carried. II Mr.. Bryan
Is right in saying free coinage will increase
prices of all commodities used by street
railways. can you advise the conductors.
motormen, and other street railway em-
ployes Of this city to vote fer free coinage.
with the hope Of improving their condition!

In Kansas. Republicans have something
more to oppose than unsound money and
reputation of honest debts. They have
also to preserve the state from policy Of
larceny. The Populists and silver Demo-
Gratis have nominated for chief justice a
man who has publicly declared that "the
rights Of the user are paramount to the
rights of the owner" This means, IL it
means anything. that the possessor Of
property-no matter how he came into pos
session-has more right to the property
than the man to whom it justly belongs.
II elected to the highest judicial once In
the state, the utterer OF this dishonest
sentiment will be expected to give It force
In his DEGREES. Is 1t any wonder that Kan
sas Republicans are making an unusually
earnest fight this year?

Herr Most Is In deep tribulation. An

Gates Of social disintegration, rapine and
plUnder are losing their grip Ia the East
The atmosphere is no longer conGenial.
There are too many white shirts to be
seen on the streets. and the frequent evil
dences of a generous use Of soap fill Most
out OF joint. Never in his whole expert
ence has he found the anarchist business
SO duh as now. Nothing doing whatever.
The country Is distressingly decent.
Hence Mr.. Most Is thinking Of changing
his environment. He may 90 into retire.
rnent: or, IL someone will put up his rail-
road fare. he may come West and found a
colony. This latter suggestion will meet
with much more favor In New York than
in the West. Nobody in the West wants
Most. either as a colonial director or in his
private capacity. It Is doubtful II he could
ever get a Job to stump for Judge Doster
in Kansas. The best thing Herr Johannes
can do is to go to work. Labor is wonder
fully ennobling, and 1t is Just possible that
years OF carrying the hod would make a
tolerabIy decent being out Of even a pro-
fessional red.
The United States is a mighty poor coun-
try to conduct the anarchy business in. as
Most has found to his sorrow. He was at
one time the most blatant advocate of the
dangerous theories advocated by his class,
and as result served one or two terms in
prison. altogether too short. however. for
his own or the country's good. Now he
finds his occupation gone for lack Of fol-
| lowing. and wants change OF scenery.
But il he comes West he'll have to work
or starve. No doubt he would prefer the
latter alternative.
