dangerous legislation II possible under a
democracy when the voters are Ignorant

bicycle law is slmpuly bid for the
votes OF bicycle riders al the expense
OF the railroads. II Is reflection upon
the good sense and public integrity OF
the political party responsible for II.
IL bicyclist should save his wheel

trian have his horse carried free whom
he wants TO 30 by rail? The popular
assumption that railroads and large cor
porauons should constantly be made tho
victims OF attack by legislation shows n
state OF economic ylclousness. This
KIND OF legislation is being constantly
introduced into state legislatures as a
means OF compelling corporations to nav
biaokmail to political lobbyists and cheap
legislators. The public sentiment which
has made this possible is but the natural
fruit OF the educational campaign to
which the American people have been
treated during the last decade by free
trade doctrinaires and socialist promo
gandists, II was largely campaign OF
Industrial blackguardism for the sole
purpose OF discredlting tariff policy:
thinking that ignorant antagonism would
be infamed more easily by constantly
pointing to successful business men and
large corporations as plunderers OF the
poor The consequence Is, the nation |
is saturated with semi-soclalist senti- |
ment which is bearing fruit in a crop

AN EPIDEMIC OF BURGLARS
The drug store of A. d. Bedford was en-
tered by burglars last night, the cash regis
ter carried out at the back door and OPEN
ed, about $3.50 being secured by the
thief. Not thing was disturbed except
the cash box. and it seemed to entirely
satisfy the visitor. Bedford carries quite a
stock of fine cutlery and many fancy
articles that might be expected to attract
the cupdlty of the burglar, but he denied
himself every thing but the coin.
Entrance was effected through the back
door.
This is the fourth burglary in the city in
last few days. First the Elgin residence on
West Fourth street was visited, then
Singers meat market one night later.
Last Saturday night the residence of Il. A.
Henderson in the north part of the city
was entered and some money and few
articles of small value taken The visit to
Bedford's drug store is the fourth one.

The A. and P. company has sidetracked
q carload of household goods and live stock
at Moiave belonging to an emigrant from
Kansas City named Thomas, and are hold
ing it until the Kansan puts up the price of
q ticket from the starting point. For some
reason the railroad people concluded to in
vestigate Thomas car at b ,rstow, and
called upon Constable Asa Green 10 go
through it. He found everything accord
ing to the bill of lading un'il big box was
opened, which so far from containing bed
ding, concealed another emigrant from The
grasshopper state, and now the railroad
people say they will not deliver the car to
the Southern raciflc until emigrant No. 2
pays for his ride.
