MR. rELLER.s rAREwELL.

Among the prominent silver men WHO
will bid farewell Go the Republican party
| IN account of the declaration in favor Of
most attention and arouses the greatest
| interest is Henry NJ. Teller. Senator from
Colorado. There are few men in the party
who enjoy more fully the respect and
| canfidetics OF everybody than lie does. His
| uubending honesty, his sturdy frankness,
his devotion TO the principles of his party.
| his common sense. his large experience in
public affairs both as legislator and a
| cabinet officer. each and all these made
| him a man to be trusted and looked up
To by his party associates. Whether IL
is right or wrong in his views on the money
question, or as to tine stand the party
with which he has hitherto affiliated
sho2ld take with reference thereto, no
one will doubt that his decision To sever
his relations with it was not taken until
after serioas ana painful reflection His
departure is but another proof OF the
straightfor wardness OF the man who sac
rificeI the POLITICAL affiliations of a
lifetime To the maintenance OF a single
principle. a,i-.5.t..
Havirg passed the Rubicon, what will
Mr.. Teller do? Upon all tcnets OF the Re-
publican party, save this oae or rthecurrency,
he is rs firm in the faith as ever There is
not 4 sii & eprincipie except this one. which
any OF the Republican speakers In the cofnir
campaigl Will defend moro earnestly or
more ably than he He does not abate one
Jot or bis belief in a protective tariff; he is
assoundas ever ON the ubject of reciprocity;
he does not differ with the most loyal OF
his former party associates upon any of
those policies for which the Republican
party stood in past years and stands to-
day. In a measure, perhaps, the same may
be said of some OF the other silver men
who have Jne with him, but OF none to
that dc gee which appiesto him.
1t is almost impossible to believe that he
Will ally himself with either the Democrats
or the Populists, for the political faith of
either is so essentially at variance with
his in all articles except, perhaps, the one
relating to silver that he will hardly be
able to subscribe to 1t. Mr.. Teller admits
that he assents to every decia ration in the
st. Louis platform except the money plank.
This beiag The case, it viii be difficult for
INN to 60 to or with any party, all
of whose leadir & principles, save one, are
diametr:caily opposed to those which form
the groundwork of his political faith. OF
course, he may, as has been ST & ,ested, ac-
cept nomination for President upon a plat
form which contains but one piank-free
coinage of siIver-but this. though possible,
is not probable.
What will Mr.. Teller do?

SHE WILL scoRcH NO MORE.
Bicycle Policeman's Hot Chase After
Supposed Young Man
E,,r York Sun

Emma Roesske, the bicyclist who was
arrested for scorching oD the Western
boulevard last evening, was arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Braun, at the Harlem
police court, this morning, and was dis
charged on her promise to be careful not
10 ride at an Illegal speed in the future.
Mss Roesske is twenty-eight years old .
and is forewomaD iD Il millinery establish
ment on West Broadway. She lives at "a
East Eighty eighth street.
Bicycle Patroiman Scheussler, who ar
rested Miss Roesske, said that ut about
O'Clock last evening he was Oh duty
at Seventy eighth street, when he saw u
number of bicyclists come racing up the
boulevard, with q slim youth in the lead.
To the warning OF the policeman, the
youth replied with shout and a wave Uf
the hand, and sped on at a very high rate.
Scheussler said that he gave chase at his
best speed litter the Young man for the dis
tance OF half o mile, aud then the fugitive
surrende red. Scheussl er said that he
thought it was an athletic boy that he was
chasing until he brought his prisoner to the
light. and found that it wasa young woman,
who was attired in close fitting gray
kDickerboekers. with a golf cap and gray
jacket.
At the West One Huudredth Street Sta
tion the sergeant at the desk asked:
what is the boys manner"
Miss Roesske's bicycle, q mans racing
wheel, was put In a safe place, and her
sister arrived with feminine garments.
Miss Roesske told the ma magistrate that
she did not know that she was riding be-
yond the legal speed, although she was an
expert, and capable of making mile in q
little over two minutes. She promised
faithfully never to break the law again.

AGAIN THE GRADE CROSSING.

The deadly grade crossing is to be
charged with two more victims. The
questions whether the boys who were
mangled yesterday walked near the track
or played there, or whether they were
FOOLISH or venturesome, are Of no special
moment. 1t is the fact of the presence
of the grade crossing and is constant
menace TO life and limb with which the
community has TO reckon.
One thing is absolutely certain; il there
were no grade crossings in the city, no
children playing in the vicinity could be
killed or MANNED by express trains or
shifting engines.
So long as tracks are laid on q level
with the grade OF the streets they should
be fenced in along their entire length and
the crossings properly guarded by gates
or bars and watchmen. That being done
fine should be imposed upon any person
found walking on the tracks. These are
reasonable and comparatively inexpensive
precautions and ought.to be taken until
grade crossings give way before viaducts
or depressed tracks.

HOW HE FOUND HER.
TWENTY CENTS OUT OF POCKET
Grievances of Street Car Conductor
Who Tries TO he Honest
Mo York Tribune

N.,o York Tribune.
Stories about tile iDciviiity of conductors
and the failure OF gripmen and drivers TO
see waiting passengers are so plentiful that
they fail to attract much attention. but a
conductor ON a surface road with a griev-
ance against the public is a novelty worthy
of mention. He was seen On a. Madison
avenue car few days ago, and this was
his story:
"A man on this line has no call To kick.
II he behaves himself he Is sure to keep his
place. and his passengers are the best in the
city. No use watching for fare like man
has to on some lines. because most OF the
people who ride with US would hand you
their fare when they got out IL you should
miss them. but sometimes We get a man
Ike that one In the corner" and he nodded
toward the upper end of the car. where a
middle ged, well li-dresseG nan sat behind
lis paper.

the conductor. "and don't think he want
ed TO do me. either. He gave me a nickel.
and after the car had gone ten blocks

the right side of his coat. land that's where
put his coin. and then sbOwed him every

looked sharp at my badge. and what was I
to do? 1t was lIis word against mine. and
l settled it by blowing in 20 cents. Tie

thinks tie gave me a quarter and that /
wanted to do him. But what's a man going
10 do about it?'' and then he shouted:
Change for the west side and Astoria
ferry-this car for Harlem
There was no sign of anger in the face Of
the conductor. but when the starter called:
..Right-Hariem!" he seemed to give the
bell strap couple of extra vigorous pulls.

WOMEN AT ST. Louis

In all the din and hurrah at st. Louis
and yet potent factor in shaping the rough
hewD ends of politics appears to be lost
sight of-the women. They do not intend
TO be ignored by the convention if they can
help it. For years they have tried to
have woman suffrage plank inserted
IN the different Republican party platforms.

success. Fair promises for 1.-THE next con-

sex fully as intelligent and in every way
competent and every bit as much entitled
to vote as are the men. In the lead is
Lille Devereux Blake and a host of
others whose names are scarcely less IA
nous throughout the land as advocates of
the bcstowai of the voting franchise uron
women. No more eloquent or persuasive
arguments will be made before the COM
mittee on resolutions in behalf OF any
plank or any principle than Will be ad-
vanced by these women in behalf OF the
cause they have at heart.
Whether or not it is best that women
should go to the polls and vote is not the
question to be considered at this time.
As to that, there is, and probably al
ways will be, u variety of opinions. 1t
is quite certain that at st. Louis it will
not be considered from sentimental stand
point, nor yet from that OF right OF equity,
but simply of cxpediency. The cause or
what is generally put under the head of
wornan's rights, which includes suffrage.
has made material progress within the
last five or ten years, especially in the
Republican party, and to that party more
than to any other-save the Populist-the
women have looked for the ccnsGmmation
of their hopes. Previous disappointment in
this respect has not Blunted their energy,
and they return to the attack this year
with all the vigor. if not even more, than
has marked their former efforts.
1t is doubtful if public opinion in three
fourths of the States of the Union is
ripe for an amendment to the Constitu-
uon Si"hoihS "oHSh 'he riSho VI suiifuSe'
but that is question with which the con-
veDtion has no concern. The purity ac-
cepts or rejects the principle, and either
commits or declines to commit itself to
legislate to that end if placed in power
by the people. 1t will be interesting TO
note if the woman suffrage sentiment has
advanced to such an extent as to compel
an expression in the Republican platform.
