REPLY TO PORTUGUESE.

The sensible men of the Portu-
guese colony are satisfied with the
reply to their petition made by the
Legislature. No answer that could
possibly be devised would be ac-
ceptable to the professional agita-
tors. The Government is earnestly
striving to remedy the industrial
and commercial embarrassment of
certain competition. 1t must be
remembered in this connection that
the rights of all have to be conced-
ed and considered and that senti-
meat must not prevail over cold,
hard facts, and in the race for prizes,
merit and not nationality is what
counts. The best thing for con-
siderable section Of the Portuguese
colony to do would be to accept
Government land and improve il
and enrich themselves. By this
means is the supremacy sought
readily achieved. Meanwhile the
authorities will endeavor to regulate
the stream of immigration and tc
hold new aliens to the spheres they
accept in advance.

WISE CYCLING SAWS.

Bad advice is seldom thrown away.
A bicycle constructor may be regard.
ed as designing man.
A good wheel and the proper use there
of are the root of health and happiness.
Soon to be first in peace, first in war
and first in the hearts of our countrymen
the bicycle.
A toolbag is small affair, but it
counts big when an accident comes to
the wheelman.
A wheel will teach more of natures
philosophy in one season than dozen
college professors.
The tramp and the mile minute BIZ
cycle resemble each other insomuch that
neither will work.
Boomers that have not been delivered
according to promise may be termed
breeches OF promise.
Better an ancient cycle, though wide
the tread and narrow the tire thereof,
than warped diaphragm and footmar
in livery.
Yea, also, when he that is foo,
rideth by the way, his wisdom faileti
him, and he declareth unto every one
that he is not wise.
Investing in poor wheel is like fur
nishing the money for an uncertain bust
ness venture-you soon have the expert
ence, but your money is gone.
Verify, a man may do whatsoever he
| chooseth with his own. Yet even his
own bicycle may bring him to grief ant
spread him in the gutter Of muddy
road.
Verify, it is good and pleasant to cy
Gle together in unity. The club run lin
gers long in the memory of the wheel

INCOME TAX.

The limit Of income to be exempt
ed from tax favored by this paper
would be somewhere between $4,000
and $1,000. Receipts less, except
perhaps to a few Government
officials, can scarcely be given the
name of income. The various de-
mands of the State upon the aver
age wage Garner shrink his total
of realizations to figure that an
income tax should be ashamed to
cut. 1t is all moonshine to say
that the reduction in property tax
will tighten the burden of the
new tangled scheme for filling
the public Golfers. If that would
really be the case there should be
provision in the act recognizing
distinctly a favor due owners of
realty. By no means should there
be neglect to include that graduated
feature in the proposed system.
Otherwise there will be absolute
unfairness, as we'll as fault in the
measure. The property tax
method of raising revenue is too
old, certain and familiar to be radi-
cally altered or abandoned to any
extent in a rush. For this and
other reasons touched upon here,
THE STAR would advise much
caution in placing the income tax.

Important Points About "PurifnG," The
Great DiSinfGCtant

In these enlightened days of the nine
tenth century it is an acknowledged
fact that "an ounce Of prevention is
worth pound of cure" and that ounce
of prevention was never better exempli-
fed than in the use of the great disin-
fectant known as "Puri6ne." The public
has had many disinfectants brought to
their attention. Some were good, some
were bad, and some were simply indif-
ferent, hut none ever yet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of "Purifine.' In the first place
il was left to the manufacturers of
'Purifine" to compound disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, a
most important matter, las users CT disin.
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant, especially when in constant
use, becomes sickcning and disagreeable,
oftentimes as much so as the odor or
smell to be killed.
In a word, 'Purifine" is odorless, and
ITS work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluted
with two parts water there is not the
slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In the bath
room, sleeping room or about the house
generally il is indispensable.
Then again it is non-poisonous, an all
important feature, for If used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results, and it is abso iutely safe
to have around the house.
As a sample of it's harnlessness it can
even be used in in refrigerators, and, If
accidently spilled no harm is done, and
1t is particularly adapted for this USE
The uses for which "Purifine" is used are
almost limitless, and to enumerate them
would fill pages of The Post. For flush
ing sewers. and for cleansing sinks,
/ drains, barns, urinals, water closets,
| floor cloths and the bed clothes from
sickness or infection it is invaluable.
Then again the price is so low that it
can be used lavishly, and for hospitals,
asylums, public buildings. hotels, restau.
rants, school rooms, laundries, diaries
markets, stables, packing houses and
canneries where a disinfectant is used in
large quantities, this IS a point to be
considered. One gallon is used TO bar.
tablespoonful to pint of water.
"Purifine"i is sure prevt ntive against
cholera, la grippe, small pox, diphtheria
all fevers and contagious diseases.
AS an antiseptic and healer "Purifine'
is invaluble, for it relieves and cure
sore throat, catarrh, stings and bites o.
insects, burns and scalds, chilblains, sor,
eyes, pimples, and for the bath it is /;
delightful adjunct. 1t will Instant,
stop any flow of blood, and physician
will understand its full value from it

will be of widespread interest.
Thomas Cooper, the young western
rider who earned such reputation in
the class b ranks last season, is expected
to do excellent work this year.
Arthur Gardener and Harry Maddox,
two riders who attained considerable
prominence in class B last year, say that
they will ride in the amateur class this

SUFFRAGE IN NEW ZEALAND.

These few telling lines are a Sc
lection from an address by Joaquin
Miller:
Last spring my old English friend
came up from Australia.
"Well, women got it in New Zealand
got suffrage in spite Of us all, - he said,
the first thing.
"And how do you like it,"
"Detestable! Ruins political business
dull as a meat ak. Why, the elections
used to be all carried on In the saloons
and money flowed like water. Now all
a candidate has to do is to go among the
women, have clean habits and good
manners and he is elected OF course it's
cheaper for the towns; don't cost half as
much TO run a town as before. Some
make more in the end. But sport is
ruined. An election down there is like
California flower show"

And the way to stop illicit liquor

extremely doubtful if there will

sary to establish police branch out

The bicycle tribe on the Ha.
waiian Islands number some
dozen or fifteen different makes
and every one is claimed to be
a high grade wheel, but as a
head magistrate, or supreme
master, the Tribune was elect
ed to fill that very honorable
position as soon as itappeared
in the field of competition.
This wheel has had some
very hard tests since its intro
duction in the Islands, but in
each and every case has it done
all and even more than was
demanded Of 1t.
Any champion or amateur
who wishes to know of the
everlasting virtues Of the Tri-
bune has the perfect right to
demand of us the reasons why
they should ride this wheel and
we are always at liberty to
spend any amount of time in
so doing; all that we ask is that
you give the Tribune a fair
and unbiased trial and we will
not fear for the result.
The Scientific America,
which is the acknowledged
leading paper in all matters
pertaining to science, selected
the Tribune, from the hundred
or more makes, as the whee
built on the most scientific
principles and in its issue o
January a, 1896, devoted {
page to it.

In apoligizing Ito the other
manufacturers for picking out
the Tribune and speaking in
such glowing terms it does so
for the sole and solitary reason
that the publishers believe the
manufacturers to use only
the best material in its
construction. The paper
reviews the history of bicycles
to the extent Of comparing the
American wheels with the Eng
ish make and the increased
demand that has existed within
the past fsw years for the
American make in preference
to its European cousin, and
finishes with this paragraph:
1--WE select as the represen-
tative of such a factory the
works of the Black Manufacture
ing Company, of Erie, Pa, a
company which produce the
highest grade of wheel and
which put it on the market
purely on the merits without
the adventurous advertisement
OF paid riders. The wheel made
by this company, the Tribune
Bicycle" embodies the best
possible practice and is CORES
pondingly free from structural
variations of improved merit"
Such praise from such a high
source should satisfy anyone
of the superior merits of the
Tribune wheels.
We have just received ex
Australia a new shipment OF
them in all varieties of the 1896
patterns, in Tandems, Racers,
Ladies or Gents Wheels, and
shall be happy to show the
1896 improvements to intend
