WELL, the bicycle is coming in for its
share of criticism. The Chicago Turner's
have ruled it out of their category of
health giving appliances. Thenthe scorch-
er Is bringing the bicycle into disrepute.
The scorcher thinks the world is his.
Everything must give way to him. He
has the right of way over this broad
earth, Wheelmen have been asking that
they be granted certain rights, ont it
seems that in large cities they want to
trespass upon the rights Of others. They
should be more conservative. The driver
of the old family horse has no love for
the bicycle and when he gets his back up
1t returns to It's normal condition vely
slowly.

The trial of Scott Jackson for the
murder of Pearl Bryan brings a dirty
mess to light. Jackson was an outright
woman betrayer. He was fast in the
worst sense of that bad word He APP
pears to have been all the more attractive
for that reason. The girl he betrayed,
and afterwards murdered, no doubt, was
rather unsophisticated. But the queer
thing is that this monster even now at
tracts the interest of women. He appears
to the public as a coldblooded, calcu-
laung murderer. But this is an attrac-
tlon for some women. The philosopher
who said Women Is queer critters was
a very observing one.

The talk of Cle,eland's candidacy Is to
the newspapers what a boys whlstling IS
to him. it Is quite evident to any one
who chooses to view the affair IN an I'M
prejudlced light that Cleveland does not
desire a third term His nomination
would mean a declaration in favor OF
honest money beyond any platform ex-
pressions no matter how pronounced, and
for this reason his nomination would be
hailed with delight by every democrat
vino believes in sustaining that principle.
Cleveland has had all the honors which
the country can bestow ana will quit the
office bearing the respect of every one
who admires courage and honesty.

JUDGE COUGH of Chippewa Falls shows
little too much feeling over the with
drawal of his name by Senators Villas and
Mitchell for confirmation by the senate
as postmaster. The judge is undoubtedly
a man of independence and may have
said things politically which were not
orthodox. That is his privilege. But he
should not have sought appointment at
the hands of the man whom he had crit.
cised. The withdrawal of Judge Coughs
name was at the instance of Senators
Villas and Mitchell. 1t is very safe to
assume that Cleveland knew nothing of
the adverse criticism made by Judge
Cough and cared less.

MILWAUKEE is on the verge of Sun
day closing crusade. The retail clerks
succeeding in forcing their employers to
close up on Sunday, and they in turn are
about to force all other kinds Of business
to close. 1t is petty piece of spite, and
naturally makes Sunday laws unpopular.
1t was proper to close the retail stores
on Sunday, not because of the moral fea-
ture but because clerks are entitled to a
day of rest. Indeed these merchants
should not have waited for the interposi-
ton of the law. But to put what are
necessary and upon which public con
venience depends in the same category
with calico sellers is manifestly unjust.

EVERY paper which publishes the con-
feesIon OF Minnie Allen regarding the
murder OF Montgomery Gibbs az Buffalo
two years ago, violates the libel law and
the editor, publisher and type setter are
liable TO arrest and conviction. That Is
the present condition of our libel laws.
The STORY is a sensational one and the
newspaper which you'd refuse to give 1t
publication would show such lack of
enterprise that a continuance OF the
policy would result in decrease of patron
age. But the publication of this con-
fession presumes malice against Gibbs
and that assumed fact cannot be dis
proved

THE contest 10 the republican party
for the United States senatorshlp is mar
rowing down to Hoard and Spooner, with
the chances in favor Of the latter. Spoon
er has the more influential papers with
him and the organization. But Hoard
is not without friends who are enthusl-
astIc and aggressive. He is an unique
element in the party, his strength coming
from sort ofrugged independence which
makes him popular with the common
people. Political advancement has not
weaned him from his old affiliations and
his strength is almost wholly personal
Spooner will have no walk away.

prosecution Of the war has been rigorous
and unless ne yellow fever checks opera
tons the end OF the rebellion is not far
off. The Cubans perceive the danger in
Weyler's generalship and an attempt was

bellion should fail the Cubans Will gain
much by it, Spain will not dare to adj
minister the affairs of the island as she
has been. Reforms are sure To be inaug-
