T. IS the most astounding thing that
10 team of American athletes can go to
England without getting Ovcr-trained.
Even clever and experienced Bob Cook
has made this error, it seems. It is
impossible to train a crew in England
as it would be trained in America, and
it seems clear that the English method
of training, the result Of decades of eX-
suited to their climate. But this sim
pie problem was evidently too s.bstruse
for Bob Cook.

The boom in the bicycle trade gives
a good deal of nneasiness to large man
ufacturcrs and tradesmen in other
lines. 1t is claimed that last year the
bicycle took from other trades about
$112,O 900. The livery business and
carriage trade has suffered enormous
g1y. In the great cities the theater men
amplain that their receipts are much
duced, as the people prefer bicycle
tiding to attending the theater. The
candy-makers say the riders buy less
candy than before they rode, and other
merchants assert that the bicycle is
responsible for the lessened sale OF
books, cigars and even beer and other
beverages. One big firm estimates that
the wheels to be manufactured this
year will number GDout 100000, and
that the average cost to the consumers
will be SIS per wheel. But this appears
too high, as very good wheels are sold
for much less price. However, what
money is lost to other trades is mere
ly diverted to another channel. There
seems to be a positive gain to the
country in the lessened use Of intoxi-
cants, and We are Of the opinion that
the general public will not take to
heart the plant Of the saloon keeper
that the bicycle is depriying him Of a
good part of his trade.

A General Row.

There is row all along the republi-

the chairman OF the Republican State
committee, deposing General Edgar
(Yankee) Allen as chairman of the
Richmond City committee, and ap-
pointing Michael Murphy in his stead
The factions supporting Lamb and
Allen are at dagger's points, and when
Col. Lamb and Gen. Allen met in Col.
Brady's Office a few days ago, they
did not speak. 1t may be that when
the convention meets here in April, it
will take several days to settle the
trouble, as Aliens friends say they
will have him recognized as the proper
chairman or blow things to atoms.

was scored. He was pictured as being

How TO Become Popular.

Our neighbor of the Meas has been
giving the Governor valuable sug-
gestions of late about the formation of
the Board of Visitors of the Deaf,
Dumb and Blind Institute, among
which was one that IF the Governor
wanted to make himself the most
popular man in Virginia he could do
SO by placing two women on the
board" a fact beyond question with
the NeaDS and the two women.
As our neighbor has been much
exercised of late, touching the ap-
pointment of women to public po-
sition, we were about to suggest that
it begin the good work by appointing
one or two on it's editorial staff, but
upon reflection withheld the sugges
ton, as it occurred to us that the staff
is sufficiently effeminate now.

Our Candidate for President.

The democrats have been very quiet
on the subject of their next nominee
for President whilst the republicans
have been very boisterous. The
trouble is said to be that the republi-
cans have too many candidates, and
the democrats too few. 1t is also
thought by the republicans that
whomsoever they nominate, him, also,
shall they elect. But this by no
means follows.
A little figuring shows that only a
small per cent of the votes of the PEG
pie need be changed from the last
election, to destroy republican success.
The split on the money question is the
real trouble in both parties, and the
split amongst the republicans is wider
than with the democrats. Mckinley
will be nominated by the republicans,
it is conceded, unless a great change
occurs, not because anybody wants
more tariff, but because he is popular
with his party, and to insure sue
cess in Ohio; and further because he
is straddler of the money question
With this condition before us what
are the democrats to do?
Our adyice is,-Dominate Carzisze,-
the soundest man on the tariff in
America, the ripest statesman of his
day; a man whose integrity is un-
assailable, whose mental compass is
as broad as the country he would rule;
friend of the South, and the idol of his
State. Neither a gold bug nor an ad-
vocate of free coinage. but balanced
on the question of finance as upon
every question he considers; an ex
tremist in nothing; his political record
as clean as arctic snow; possessing
convictions, and the courage of them;
a man, above all, who could unite the
whole democratic party; and who can
and will, if elected, give the country a
pure, healthy, and vigorous admins
tration-a man who would hold the
admiration of the people, without
intimidating capital or disturbing bus
mess; who would command the respect
of his opponents without losing the
confidence of his friends-a man to
follow whom to defeat would be more
honorable than to follow others to vic
tory. If the democrats will nominate
him, he will be elected.
