In New Jersey the Legislature has
passed law encouraging the building
of bicycle paths and making them coun-
try sidewalks for wheelmen and pedes-
trians, they being divided by rail so
that both may use them. In New York
City they are preparing to erect over
head bicycle paths on the lines of the
elevated roads. In Illinois and Wiscon-
sin they have legalized the bicycle paths
and offer inducements to have them con-
structed. In Indiana encouragement is
given by local authorities for these
paths along country roads. In South
ern California they encourage bicycle
paths and are TO finish one presently
twenty miles long of artificial stone.
But here in Sacramento County where
private means build these paths that
are a great convenience, and which for
two-thirds the way to Folsom run over
private, not public, lands, teamsters
drive on the path and ruin it, horsemen
gallop over and cut them up, wretches
scatter tacks upon them to do damage
to wheels, distractions are placed
on the track. The question was
not inappropriate which was asked
by citizen the other day
who suffered injury because of the acts
referred to, do we live in the nine
teenth century in these parts?" Seri-
ously it is altogether shameful that in
the Capital county to which we invite
strangers and afford convenient paths
to get them into the country to view our
locality such vandal acts should stand
recorded against us. 1t is no small
matter. and will reflect seriously upon

Archbishop Ireland of the Roman
Catholic Church has declared against
the permanent arbitration tribunal idea
now being pushed SO hotly in England
and the United States. The Archbishop,
whose clerical robes would mark him as
man of peace by profession and be-
lief, nevertheless realizes that there are
some things more desirable than peace,
and one of them is preservation of pat
riotic virility. He well and wisely said
that war is promoter of patriotism.
Not that it is necessary we should fire.
quently go to war in order to cultivate
love Of country, but he intended to be
understood doubtless as saying that we
should SO preserve the martial spirit
as to be able to call 1t into activity at
an hours notice. He looks upon the per-
manent arbitration Of all questions
as dangerous to that interest in his
country that every citizen should feel.
That is very true, and out Of that nom
That is very ture, and out of that non
interest will grow the deadly indiffer-
ence to affront, and loss of sensibility as
to National honor will follow. We are
agreed that many issues should be ar
bitrated But let each stand upon it's
own base. We want no advance agree
ment to arbitrate all questions. Such
a system will destroy what little know
ledge we have Of diplomacy, and place
us at the mercy of the trained diplomats
Of Europe. Diplomatic independence is
so precious that we ought to be ready
to fight to preserve it.

General Weyler declares that II the

eral Weyler should resign? There need
be no fear, however, that Spain will be
Influenced by Weyler's threat. That

has many wise and far-seeing men at
the head of affairs, and they are not at
all likely to involve their country in war
with the United States, until all other
means of settlement of any issues aris-
ing have been exhausted. 1t is to be
kept in mind while this controversy Is
on, that the United States Government
has entered no sort of a protest against
the punishment Of filibusters. Our de-
mand upon Spain is simply this, that
any American citizens charged with fill
clustering shall be accorded a fair and
deliberate trial according to the terms
of the treaty between Spain and the
United States-this the President claims

Hotly disdaining to choose his direction,
See him in notions delirium go.
He recks net of victims all bruised ana

He sees but the dust that is raised by his
toy.
His course all depends upon how he Is
pointed;
To pedal alone is his life and his Joy.
The stream with rs singing no soft mood
engenders;
In vain wave the fields where the clover
Is sweet:
He sees not the forest and sky with their
splendors;
He only exists In his ankles and feet.

What did Mckinley say to Hanna?
Why, thanks" to be sure.
The Paramount Issue.

Although their own convention has
not yet named presidential candidate,
the Democratic politicians are already
insisting that the tariff shall not be
regarded as an issue this year. They
loudly assert that the money question
must be pushed to the front; that the
battle shall be between the standards;
and thst while this battle is being
fought all other considerations must
retire into the background.
The Democratic press, although d.
vided as to the proper money plank to
be adopted at Chicago, is unanimous in
condemning Major Mckinley for declin-
ing at Democratic behest to abandon
the issue with which his name has
won a worldwide Identification, in
order to take up the new issue of gold
against silver. They inform him daily
In great emphasis of double leads that
he Is barking up the wrong tree; that
the tariff question Is a back number;
that the American people pay no more
thought to that ancient issue but are
now to man intent upon the study Of
the financial problem.
All this exhuberant and singularly
gratuitous advice from the enemy must
mean something. Evidently they don't
want Mckinley to discuss the tariff.
Evidently they want the tariff issue let
alone. This fact, now unmistakable,
affords to Republicans a singularly good
reason why they should concentrate
their fire upon the tariff target and not
give the Democratic party a chance to
assume the aggressive. Let it be clearly
put before the public that until the
Democrats began their recent Irritation
with free trade, the currency of the
United States was the best in the world,
and there was plenty Of 1t in circulation
in payment of the best wages in the
world. Let It be made known that not
until the Democrats bunglingly dissect-
ed the protective tariff so that not even
enough Of 1t was left to raise requisite
revenue did our currency system give
trouble. Keep the battle on these
grounds and 1t will end in easy victory.
Major Mckinley in his Canton speech
es is wisely hewing to the main line.
Generalization and disaster began
when Protection was assailed. They
reached climax when Protection was
stricken down. They will be overcome
and prosperity will reassert itself when
Protection is restored.
