tion fail to indorao free coinage, have

After allowing the bicycle riders a rea-
sonabIe time in which to procure bells
and lanterna, and after giving them due
notice, the police have been instructed
to enforce the bicycle ordinance. This
is proper, The ordinance was rot adopt
ed to be laughed AT and ignored, aud the
duty Of the officers in the matter is very
plain. The wheelmen may think the
law is useless and works a hardship
upon Thorn; the city council thinke diff
f~erently and ~ this case the latter have
the call. Certainly there is Ms great ne
cessity for the enforcement as there was
for the passage Of the regulations and
riders may as well make up their minds
that if they do not obey the law they
will have to pay the penalty. This is
sad, but it IS true.

ures they insist that such an act would
be an outrage; that it would be an abuse
of the power Of the minority; that it
could accomplish no good, but much
harm: that the convention should be
permitted to devise a platform that will
meet the ~eXigencies of the occasion

have never believed that such a schclne
originated with the silver republicans

In pursuance Of 4 pretty conceit the
people Of Salt Lake sent several car
loads of lilac flowers to Denver for dis
tributiol, and the gift was graciously
received and appreciated, Pleased with
the SUCCESS of their effort at Denver, the
city Of the SAINTS now proposes to repeat
the experiment with Butte as the object
of its attention. A car load OF lllace at
this or any other season would surely be
acceptable in Butte, and would advertise
the climate Of Salt Lake in an admira-
BILE manner, But we could suggest a
better gift, and one that would suit the
purposes Of the advertisers quite as we'll.
Let them send to Butte a car load Of
olive branches, and let them then be

city with the request that they be used.
