On the eve Of the day fixed for the passage or
the Greater New-YOrk bill by the now familiar
"jamming'' process there was consideraDle
doubt, at least in this city, as to whether the
scheme of the Republican Boss would be car
ried through. The doubt did not exist in the
vicinity of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, but in other
quarters it was credibly reported that large
majority Of the Tammany Assembymen would
refuse to vote for the BILL In that case 1t Is
hard to see where the votes to pass 1t Will come
fro.,. 1t could not have been passed without
Tammanys help before. and while four Repub-
licans opposed it in the Senate on its first pas
sage. the opposition increased to eleven when
it was taken up the second time. From present
indications the fate Of the measure is uncertain
and no prediction as to the action OF the AS
sembly can be made.

THE DUTY or THE WHEELMEN'S LEAGUE.


II is obvious thus early in the opcn-air season
that tho multiplication Of bicycles In the streets
OF Ncw-York is going 10 involve serious dangers
and annoyances unless the ordinances affecting
their use are strictly enforced. Thousands OF
persons recklessly wheel about town every day
who are not skllful enough 10 ride In busy thor
oughfarcs with safety 10 themselves or others.
II IL n pity that they are ready 10 take such
chances Of doing and receiving injury. but we
suppose they are within their legal rights so
long as they obey regulations which are none
too strict for experts. We are glad 10 see the
police so generally vigilant and active, but at
the best they can do comparatively little by
themselves The courts can do more by infct
Ing the maximum penalty In every case brought
before them but stIll the expectation OF escape
viii be- greater than the probability of punish
mcnt and so the mischief will continue unless
a stronger public sentiment can be brought TO
bear.
We are inclined to think that the League Of
American Wheelmcn can do more than courts
or police 10 diminish this evil. It's membership
is very large. and the advantages Of belonging
10 II are such as 10 make their forfeiture n scr-
Oiis loss. The League IL now SO strong that II
can take an important part in compelling obedi-
cncc TO the laws ana can well afford to treat
with just severity all offenders for whom II ls

Governor Morton has signed the Armstrong
bill, which provides that bicycles shall be re-
garded as baggage by the common carriers OF
the State. and his action will cause great re-
joicing among wheelmen, not only in New-York,
but throughout the country. 1t Is altogether
probable that other States will not be slow to
follow the good example set here. The fact
that the bill was passed in both Senate and
Assembly by an almost unanimous vote must
have warned the Governor that If he vetoed the
measure he would simply invite the overriding
of the veto by the Legislature. The result is
conspicuous triumph for Mr. Isaac B. Potter. the
Chief Consul for this State Of the League Of
American Wheelrnen. who has labored diligently
to secure the enactment Of the bill.

It Is not at all likely that Benjamin b. Odell

assumption of opposition TO the consolidation

There is no denying that the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes has made fine record in the transac
ZION OF its business. Yesterday the last of the
general appropriation bills was passed, although
Il is barely four months since the committees
were named by Speaker Reed. If an early ad-
iournment Is not taken 1t will not be the fault
"a the House. And there is no reason so far as
the public business Is concerned why the Sen
ate should show disposition to prolong the
session. A short session Ia invariably credit

make the present session brief. Why should

GOVERNOR MOSLEY'S MESSAGE

The message of Governor
Palmer S. Mosley. the retiring
Governor of the Chickasaw
nation, recommending to the
legislature the adoption of Mr..
James ID. Lynch and the appTo-
priation of $4,000, to aid him in
the production and publication
of his history of the Indians,
was a highly commendable act,
and will give the governor a
high stand in history as well as
gain for him the esteem of all
high minded people, Should
the Legislature adopt the re-
commentator Of this noble
message, it would do more to
convince the world of the pro-
gress of the Indians in the cul-
tivation Iof public pride and
patriotic sentiment than all
the assertions their friends
could make to congress or to
the country.
Mr.. Lynch is a well known
southern historian, biographer
and poet. He has now the
highest, literary honors of
America among his own people.
These advantages he abandon
ed, left his home in Mississippi,
and came to the Indians for the
purpose of making them a pro
per history among the nations
OF the world.
Nearly all the leading In
dians-the noblest of the ma
tion-have received him kindly
and have shown their apprecia-
ton of his efforts in their be-
half; and the national recogni-
ton and aid, so generous
ly recommended by Governor
Mosley, would be a crowning
honor to the Chiekasaw people.
The ARDMoREITE is a friend
to every progress and welfare
of the Indians, and it believes
that Mr.. Lynch's work is one of
great importance to them. 1t
viii do them justice. 1t will
show their rights and their
wrongs. their attainment and
Qualities of character, and will
raise them and their posterity
in the estimation of the world.
