The Slight Risk in Cycling

Accident insurance companies are
contemplating putting an extra charge
for policies on those who are bicycle
riders, but the necessity for such action
is not apparent, in view of our exam
ination of list of 1000 claims allowed
by one of the largest companies. We
find that the causes of death were falls
on pavements in 531 cases. carriage and
cart accidents number 243; there were
III cut with tools and glass; in SO cases
a weight of some sort fell on the per-
son injured; the bicycle accidents are
rs. Thus it seems that a person in seven
times as liable to hurts while walking
on the pavement as when riding a bicy
Gle in the street, more than three times
as likely to be hurt in a cart and almost t
twice as likely to be cut by glass or
tools.-Science Siftings.

Our Railroad MIDDLE.

No apparent change has been effect
ed in the matter of the Valley roilroad,
since our last issue. There is an entire
change in the time of departure and
arrival of trains between this point
and Harrisonburg which, however, we
have not received authority to publish
in the B. g. O. schedule found on our
fourth page. We call attention of the
reading public to this fact lest they
be deceived by looking over the time
card as it now appears. A great deal
has been said and written in regard to
this new order of things, but it is all
surmise. At present there seems to be
little squeezing going on between
the railroad lines and freight will be
more or less tied up and business stag
mated whilst this lasts. A writer in

is calling attention to the losses likely
to be inflicted on Baltimore if she loses
the Valley trade. There is no pro-
pressing the importance of the Valley
of Virginia to any city. 1t was the
store house of the Army of Northern
Virginia, and it's trade at all times is
valuable. When the respective roads
have become tired of warfare the
whole question will adjust itself to the
necessities and best commercial inter-
ests of the roads and the sections and
peace will reign once more.

Presidents Message.

The President has sent his annual
message to Congress. It necessarily
contained castigation of the demo
cratic party. In its opening sentence
he said
"a political contest involving mo-
mentous consequences, fraught with
feverish apprehension, and creating,
aggressiveness so intense as to ap-
proach bitterness and passion has been
waged throughout our land, and de-
terInined by the decree of free and in
dependent suffrage, without dlstur-
bance of our tranquility or the least
sign of weakness in our national struc-
ture."
He begins upon public questions by
| taking up first that of Armenia, then
Cuba, then Venezuela. After these
the Financial question is treated, then
each department of the Government
1 ia treated upon, then the Pension, Civ
i'll Service, Interstate Commerce, Tariff,

dition he urges the government to
Iquit the banking business, and insists
ION the retirement of the United States

this branch as follows:
ssThe entire case may be presented
by the statement that the day of SEN
sibIe and sound financial methods will
not dawn upon us until our govern
{ ment abandons the banking business
i and the accumulation of funds, and
confines it's monetary operations to

} by the people for its support and to

Elections Theory and Practice.

sought, which determined the choice
for the term. The developments in

the oyershadowing influence and lau-

bold effrontery and contempt of the

caps the climax of reproach which may
be cast upon the American name in
striking negation to the pretence OF

government. So real is the part per-

this arch-manipdlator is imploringly

The storm of conflict has past and
the time for sober reflection has come
to poise the minds of the people. After
all the excuses, cabals and f1ippancy
of the canvass, it must be recognized
that government is a most difficult
problem, which has bafhed the genius
of men in all ages. The founders of
our system have diligently collected
from the wrecks of past ages the fun
damental principles of liberty and en-
lightened government and wisely adj
justed them in a unique system OF
checks and balances, which can Only
be worked successfully by intelligent
and patriotic people. The original
State constitutions, .cotemporaneous
with the Federal organism were care
fully adjusted to protect the whole
system in it's autonomy and make it
work without friction for the common
defense and general welfare of the
United States. 1t was adopted by the
States individually as federal govern
ment of the United States; but its cit.
izenship was the legalized people. Its

GRAIN TRADE AND CROPS.
The Cincinnati Price-Current of las
Thursday says

The Cincinnati Prices Current of last
Thursday says
From the mild temperature which
previously prevailed in the Central
West there has been striking change
the past few days to decidedly cold
weather This condition has been
welcomed by those interested in corn,
for it is calculated this grain into bet
ter condition, and to thus modify the
occasion for complaint that has at
tended its movement in the recent
past to a considerable extent. This
change in the weather will also en-
large the feeding requirements, which
have been reduced in many sections
by the favorable condition of pasture.
extending late in the season.
The commercial requirements for
corn have not been such as to call for
large receipts at the centers, SO that
the somewhat restricted offerings of
this grain have been ample for current
needs. As a rule the interior holders
are reluctant sellers at current values.
The situation in regard to wheat IN
the interior discloses little that is new.
Notwithstanding the hating condl-
ton of the marked cenIers there ap-
pears to be q Strengthening tendency
among holders in the interior, ana
prices continue toshape upward 10 the
general average In easteaG ahlos the
dollar price has already been paid iCi
milling purposes.
The growing wheat crop is now over
taken with winter conditions, which
! it meets in unimpaired form, the aver
age situation being rarely excelled.
Even the late sown grain is generally
spoken of favorably.
In,the wheat market the usual daily
changes have occurred, with general
tendency moderately upward at
Chicago most of the week, followed by
a reaction at the close, and prices frac-
tionally lower than week ago.
| The advance which the worlds
wheat markets have established has
been the result of changed conditions
with reference to supplies. and not
from speculation, and therefore 1t is
reasonable to expect that the position
| will be maintained, Notwithstanding
/ the striking contrast with values to
which the trade has accustomed IN
late years The situation appears to
| Justify the new order of affairs and tc
give promise Of its maintenance.
The low price of oats is notable fea
ture of the grain markets. ibis gralI
has been plentiful, and large pro
portion has been low in quality, which
has been unfavorahle to values. =.
The flour trade is without specIa
animation and interior mills complain
that the product is not saleable on
parity with prices demanded fol
wheat.
May wheat at Chicago closed BIC be
low the highest point of the week, j
above the lowest point, and &c lowe
than week ago.
Corn at Chicago for May closed IL
below the highest point of the Wee k
; &c above the lowest point of the week
and &c lower than a week ago.
Wheat receipts at primary market
were 3,054.000 bushels for the weel
against 100000 the preceding week
and 1886, 900 last year.
Corn receipts were 2 .1G6 900 bushels
against 2 $4,000 the preceding week
and 1885 900 last year.
