speedy riding of bicycles on public thoroughfares. The bicyclist should be protected, but at the same time the public have some rights which even bicyclists should be forced to respect. A number of instances have been recently recorded in sev- eral of the leading cites where pedestrians have been run down and injured by rapid and reckless riders of wheels, which by all means should be stopped. A little caution in either riding or driving will reduce accidents and casualties to the min imDm.

" FREE ,SIL TER AND PEA
 TINES.n

Judge ". s. Mccain, in discuss ing the greatest needs of the State with reporter for the Populist Gazette, delivered himself of his long "pent up utica, as follows:
 Free silver and pea-vines. One will make the people rich, the other will make the ground rich. For one we must depend on Congress. For the other we must need depend only upon ourselves. One will double the market value, the other will double the intrinsic value of our property. Free silver will enable us to pay our debts at 50 cents on the dollar instead of settling them for nothing by bankruptcy, as Con- gress is now proposing to give us an opportunity to do. The bank ruptcy method is humiliating. The value of the pea-vine is a discovery of the last few years, but it promises more for Arkansas than anything that has been developed since Whit ney's invention of the cotton gin In the track of free silver will follow cotton factories. good roads, school houses and other accompaniments of civilization and prosperity

PERILS OF BOLTING.

The Democrats elected James Buchanan President in 1856, says the -ArkoasoS Democrat, and failed to elect President in 1860 by reasons of discord and dissensions that con
 front us at this time. Partisan and sectional feeling ran so high in the latter year that a division of the party was inevitable with three tickets in the field against the Re publican organization headed by Lincoln. The result was that the Democrats paid the penalty of their folly by being excluded from power until 1884, a period of twenty-eight years, when they elected Grover Cleveland. In a most critical period of the party's history, when it re- quired united front to win victo- ry, madness ruled the hour, the par l ty divided and suffered the penalty of defeat for more than quarter of a century. Can it be that all the costly lessons of experience are to be lost upon us, and that by reason of a refusal to accept the principle laid down by the great apostles of our party, absolute acquiescence in the will of the majority, we are again to go down to defeat? Is his tory to repeat itself? It is by no means certain that we can win the election this year if union and har- mony prevail, but it is absolutely certain that we shall throw away the last chance left to us if we fail to present an unbroken front to the common enemy. We must har- monize or we are lost. We must come together and agree to abide by the clearly expressed will of the majority or we go out of power to remain out many years to come.

THE City Council of St. Joe, Mo, has passed cerfew law which re- quires all children under 12 years of age to remain off the streets after g o'clock at night, and any boy or girl found lettering on the streets after that hour is now run in by the police. While such law is an inva- sion of the rights of parents, it is a law that will nevertheless have a very wholesome and salutary effect, and other municipalities would do well to follow St. Joe's example.

THE League of American Wheel men of New York has called pub- lie meeting to urge the necessity of a law requiring drivers of wagons and vehicles to give some signal wten rounding street corners on public thoroughfares so as to avoid
 the danger to which bicyclists and pedestrians are subjected by care less and reckless driving. The death of three bicyclists has been recently caused in this manner by the careless turning of street cor ners by reckless drivers, and this is not only danger to wheeimen, but to pedestrians and the public as well. But while the bicyclists are about it, they ought also to urge the passage of law against the

THE Pennsylvania railroads in voluntarily agreeing to carry biey- cles free as personal baggage have set an example which we hope to see followed by the Southern and Wes t. ern railroads.

Silyerites who are bowling that the robber goldbugs have conspired to charge high rates of interest on their loans should inform themselves on the question on which they presume to speak. If they were intelligent, they would know that interest is far lower in gold standard countries than in those countries where silver is used. Compare the United States, Germany or Great Britain with india, China or Mexic s In each and all of the silver standa countries interest is much higher thsa in the gold basis nations. If free silver will lower interest, why does it not do so in Japan CT Mexico?

and startling in it's originality. Pea.

vines have never before been con sidered a very great element of wealth. Free silver" the Judge informs us, will make the people rich, while 'spea vines will make the ground rich. With free silver and pea vines our wealth and hap piness will be complete. Free sil- yer will make the people rich, says Judge Mccain. We can very readi- Y understand how free silver will make the mine owners and silver bullionaires rich, but we don { uh- derstand how it can make the people rich. The free coinage of silver means that the owners of silver bull lion can take their bullion to the hints of the United States and have fifty cents worth of silver bullion coined, into silver dollar, but we don't understand how that is going to materially help those who have no silver bullion to coin. After the silver mine owner has had his silver coined how are the people going to get the silver dollars thus coined except they give something in ex- change for it2 How is the farmer, mechanic or laborer going to get any of these silver dollars thus coined unless he gives a dollars worth of products or labor for it. After these silver bullionaires have had fifty cents worth of bullion coined into silver dollar, are they going to gratuitously give away these silver dollars thus coined for nothing? If not, how are the peos pie wbo have no silver bullion to be benefited? How are the people to be made rich?
 The Judge also says: sFree sil- yer will enable us to pay our debts at 50 cents on the dollar. We de- sire to call the attention of those who have so consistently maintained that the free coinage of silver would bring silver to parity with gold to this declaration. It is apparent that Judge Mccain does not think so. If it did, it would not enable us to pay our debts at 50 cents on the dollar
 And then, is the Judge in favor of repudiation? Is he in favor of repu- diating one-half of our indebtedness, public and private, thereby defraud- ing our creditors of one-half of their just dues. Judge Mccain, we be- lieye, is a Christian gentleman and stands high in the councils of the church. It has never been eonsid- cred honorable, under the old dis pensation, to repudiate an honest debt. Then, how does the Judge reconcile his repudiation ideas with common honesty2
 In this brief interview the Judge has disclosed the whole silverite scheme. It is to debase the curren- cy and repudiate one-half of the public and private indebtedness. It is apparent that the Judge does not hope under free coinage to bring silver to parity with gold, else fl would be impossible to 'pay our debts with 30 cents on the dollar. And this is just what the opponents of free silver coinage, at I5 to l, have persistently maintained. Out of their own mouths have they been convicted, and thus are the argQ- ments of the sound money men in regard to parity vindicated.

GENERAL WEAVER.

Some journals continue 20 animad
vert upon the applause which greete'
the mention of General Weaver
name by temporary chairman Wrigh
by the Democratic state convention
These journals purposely neglect Il
say that name Of Weaver wac re
celyed with demonstrations OF pleas
ure, because the bearer Of IL is worthy
OF the respect Of any body Of men OF
OF any citizens who admIres honesty
high intellectual ability, undouLted
patriotism, and thorough devotion 20
the principles OF popular government.
No matter what General Weaver may
be termed. he Is an American OF the
type that wrested the independence
OF the colonies from Great Britain.
He rIsked his life In the civil war TO
save the union, and dominated by a
lofty conscientiousness, he has pre-
ferred 10 be with the minority In
what he has believed 10 be the right
than with the majority In what he
has believed to be the wrong. Weaver
Is not one OF those who "croOk the
pregnant hinges Of the knee that
thrift may follow fawnlng." II this
we're his character, he would have
remained with the majority party In
Iowa, and as he is man OF pre-
eminent intellectual power, the party
would have been only too glad 10 keep
him in ofiice and richly reward him.
The JefiersoDlan doctrine OF equal
rights for all special privileges to
none has no stauncher supporter
nor a more eloquent exponent, and as
he Is a thorough Democrat In fact II
not nomlnally, a man whom the lust
for gold nor place has ever contami-
mated, II was wholly appropriate that
the mention OF his name should be
greeted With applause In conven-
tion Of Democrats. Dubuque, Ia,
