BICYCLE ETIQUETTE.

The ubiguity of the bicycle has raised
is the etiquette of the wheel. 1t will
generally be such as governs ladies and
gentlemen in the common walks of
life. But there are certain points that
must be decided Independently of
known rules, the chief of which is
whether when you are riding wheel
you have a right to address a stran-
ger who comes UP beside you. General
opinion is that you have, and that it
is not necessary in addressing one to
premise by saying, BEG your pardon.
sir" Nor has the person addressed
the right to say, Excuse me, sir, but |
do not know you All this is ac-
cording to an eastern authority The
game authority says you must endure
the conversation until you contrive
some way to escape the other fellow. if
he happens to be a bore. All this ap-
plies only to etiquette among men.
Even where there are ladies and two
parties meet it is proper for the gen
tlemen to raise their caps and exchange
the usual salutations.
To the pedestrian (there are some left
though the species is fast dying OUT
it seems as a matter of courtesy and
common right that the bicyclist should
not run him down for the mere pleas
IRE of doing it, and that if he does he
should not smile at his great feat in
the presence of the victim Infant
sticklers for fine points say it is the
duty of the bicyclist to stop and see
if the injuries he has inflicted are ia
tai or merely serious In such cases, it
is good form to beg the victims par
don and assist him to rise. Having
done all this, the bicyclist is at liberty
to go in pursuit of another victim The
Chesterfields of the wheel say a bicy-
clist must never curse or abuse the
pedestrian whom he has run to earth.
What the cycling world needs most is
some books on the etiquette of the
wheel, some book wherein every rider
may know when things are as they
must be.

and he, is entitled TO their votes, but
the people who pay the interest on
those bonds will vote for some one else.
The presidents bump of self-esteem is
very much more developed than his
bump of caution, and he is going into
the campaign dependent on a very nal-
now following"
If there are two conventions at Chi
cago there will certainly be two nomi-
nations, and there is a probability that
Mr.. Cleveland will be one. Many dis
avowals that he is candidate have
been made for him but he does not
make them for himself nor do those
who make them say they are author
lied TO speak for him. With all the
talk there is about him being a candi-
date, people are certainly justified in
thinking Mr.. Cleveland will be a candi-
date until he says he will not be. Pre-
cedents and traditions in the matter of
of a third term would not weigh the
ashes of a rye straw with him. He
holds himself above all precedent. all
traditions, all principles.
Why Senator Blackburn thinks there
will be two conventions and two nom
nations at Chicago he does not say. 1t
must be that he thinks the differences
between the gold and silver Demo
Gratis are irreconcilable, and that in
any case the minority will bolt That
may be a correct presumption but is
not at all a certainty
If the goldbugs bolt and nominate
godbug candidate what can they ex-
poet to gain? Their following would
be small because boilers do not carry
much influence with them. They would
attract no independent vote, for the
Republicans at ST. Louis will adopt a
gold platform which will meet all the
requirements of anyone who wants
such platform. So no votes would be
drawn from that party. The Populists
would not break their necks tulnbling
over each other to get near the banner
OF the gold men to help raise it aloft,
while the very great majority of the
Democrats are for free silver S
A goldbug bolt would not have much
TO encourage it, In the end it would
find that all would be lost save honor,
and that would be in badly battered
and almost unacceptable condition.

POLICEMAN coRRIGAN. HERO.


A story of heroism and sadness
comes from New York The hero is
no young man seeking fame and ad-
venture, but plain policeman. The
hero, for he is nothing else, was Pc
liceman William Corrigan of the Madi-
son street station. His wife had been
sick a long time, but he continued at
his post of duty all through her i'll
ness. At last came the fatal day when
death took from him her whom he
loved, his life companion. He was at
his post of duty, though that post was
but three blocks from his home, and he
knew his wife was dying. He had gone
to his sergeant and told him his wife
was dying and he wished a leave of
absence. He did not get it. The ser
geant, in explanation of his conduct
says: "Corrigan came in and told me
that his wife was dying. 1 told MIN
that it was very hard to spare a man,
but If he left his post a little while to
go in to see his wife I would overlook
the delinquency. At u o'clock 1 let
him off," And then. as if conscious OF
his lack of humanity, and as an extern
uation of his conduct, he said: Il
was similarly treated by my superior
officers only a few months ago when
my SON died"
Policeman Corrigan proved himself
hero. His sergeant proved himself a
but not a humanitarian

TO BAR AvowlED noLrERs.

Mr.. William E. Harrity, chairman of
the Democratic national committee,
was in New York last Thursday and
irsld a long conference with other
members of the committee. After the
! conference it was announced that a
| clear majority of the committee was in
favor of sound money" That means
much. 1t means that the sound
money" men will have absolute control
OF the temporary organization.
Other matters were also considered,
to judge from what Mr.. Harrity said.
He stated that the committee would
lock out, in the preliminary organiza-
ton, all men who had publicly
threatened to bolt if their particular
ideas were not adopted by the conven-
ton 1t is held that Democrat who
will come to a national convention
with his mind made up beforehand to
bolt if he cannot have his way is not
deserving Of consideration. Such dele
gates will be told at Chicago that they
are not Democrats and that, conse-
quently they must not invade the ma
tional convention. 1t is claimed that
this would really strengthen the regu-
lar Democratic ticket and, by drawing
on Republican votes in the west, would
very probably throw the presidential
election into the house of representa-
tives, if the regular Democratic ticket
should fail of election
If state convention were to in
struct its delegation to bolt unless GER
tain demands were complied with, or
the delegation came to such an under
standing and made public announce
ment of the same, it would be prop
er thing to refuse it seats in a ma
tional convention. 1t is not so clear
that such course would be proper in
the case of individual delegates. Such
delegates would certainly be entitled
to a hearing, and newspaper rumors,
idle gossip and the stories of tale
bearers would hardly be sufficient evil
dence on which to refuse a delegate his
seat. Supposing a delegate had made
such a declaration but his delegation
had adopted the unit rule and was
against him, would national COM
mfttee feel itself warranted in refus-
ing that delegate a seat?
Mr.. Harrity says majority of the
Democratic national committee is for
sound money or gold. viii not this
very fact predispose that committee to
look with leniency upon any threats
by goldbugs and suspicion upon any
talk by silver men? There is very
grave danger that it will be one of
those rules that work one way much
bstter than both ways. If honestly
and impartially applied, there would
be little objection to it.
Mr.. Harrity's announcement will
raise the fear in the minds of silver
Democrats that there is being laid a
scheme to pack the Chicago convention
in the interest of sound money"
The silver Democrats cannot be too
watchful for such a contingency.

Totals

If all these claims are sustained then
the silver men will have a total of 523
votes in the Chicago convention out of
total of 91S, or majority of 12S.
1t is pretty safe to assume that the
silver men will have a majority of this
size, while it may be larger. 1t may
be more, it may be less The Philadel-
phia Times in an article estimating the
strength of the silver men at Chicago,
comedies them a majority of 20. 1t
thinks that in the event of the adop-
ton of a free silver platform, the sound
money men are certain to bolt, which
fact, it is of opinion, may influence
enough of those who incline to free
silver but who would not follow it to
the disruption Of the party, to give the
sound money men majority of the
body 1t certainly does not know of
what stuff the silver men are made to
talk in that way.
From the above figures the success
of the silver men is almost assured 1t
would be the height of folly for the
silver men to cease their efforts for
a single moment though. Success will
be assured only when a free silver
platform is adopted and free silver
candidate named

RECIPROCITY TREATIES.

An exchange says that a reciprocity
treaty is to establish closer and more
profitable trade relations between two
countries whose merchantable COM
modfties are not competitive in the
markets of either country "a hurtful
degree. 1t then goes on to say that
'in charging protectionists with being
inconsistent and contradictory when
they advocate the principle of reciproc-
ity, free traders only expose their own
ignorance of the law or trade inter
change and accumulation and distribu-
tion.''
Not so. If the reciprocal trade is to
be in articles which are not competitive
in the markets of either country to
hurtful degree, which must be articles
that cannot be raised in the two coun-
tries to the same advantage, why not
let such articles come in free from any
country into the country that cannot
raise or manufacture them to advan-
cage? The advantage is in the trade
and not in the treaty, hence the treaty

AN ELEGY.

Blessed be winds, and woods, and springs
The things of greatness, simple things
That bid their own in peace ndure
Mans greed and cant, and MOL and

And most in thee who shared their
thought
The elemental heart inwrought,
The heart like any open moor
With May-days flocking in.
For thee the gem-bright beach was
paved,
The dark autumnal arras waved,
And lanthorning thy road of dreams
Came Hesper and the Hyades.
Dynastic spirit not in vain
The Out-of-Door was thy domain,
Whose step was every lonely streams,
Whose look the alder-tree's.
Good night. my sylvan. Many yearn
For that sepulchred smile return
But as above the town there broods
At eve the kindled Rholben height,
AS glorious on the hilltop ground
Past sunset-hour the sun is found,
Mine, mine, on memory's attitudes,
Thy wild beloved light.
