that the latter is the completest illustration of
vocal and lingual harmony which nature
AFFORDS. The popular idea has always been
quite the contrary. But the notion is seriously
advanced by Professor Marvin Clark, who is
said to be blind author, and argued upon
with feline emphasis aud prolixity. Cat IAN
guage, he says, is like Chinese, ''both being
musical, mellifuous and pleasing to the
senses" proposition which will command at
tention on account of its novelty, and may be
concurred in by the cats and the Chinese them
selves, but is certain OF indignant and sponta-
neous rejection by all other animals and men.
In other respects, the similarity between the
Two dialects may possess higher degree Of
plausibility.
For instance, the same word in Chinese
means several hundred different things, ac
cording to the infection and Professor Clark
asserts that the same thing may be said OF the
various yowls through which the cat en-
deavors 10 express its emotions. Sometimes
tney mean one thing and sometimes another,
according to their pitch and cadence, and in
case OF an error OF Interpretation ON the part
OF the adjacent cat, there is always the expe-
dent OF battle, giving rise to new vocal
periments and new misunderstanding in a
chain OF unbroken succession since the first
midnight cat appeared upon 1he first back
fence in history. So far as the inhabitants of
the Flowery Kingdom have been observed,
their conversational habits partake OF the
same general character and often lead to the
same results, and there may be a plausible rea-
son for tracing an analogy between them.
OF the 600 primitive words which the pro-
fessOr claims TO have traced home. to the cat by
far the larger proportion bear noticeable
similarity to those employed in the colloquies
OF the Oriental laundrymen and the light re-
partee of the fan-tan table. But it is not possi-
bic to concur in the theory that they form the
ultimate basis of poetical literature or that to
unrayel them is TO untwist all the chords that
tie the prisoned soul of harmony. Giving. the
cat note its proper value in the phonetic and
l1ngual scale, it is possible TO conceive another
origin for other tongues and sounds. There is
no evidence that it has materially influenced
the development of poetical literature in any
period. There is trace of il here and there in
verse to be seen, but it is a mere accidental
similitude, a tritle more marked in the case OF
the new laureate than in common, but in that,
too, It's but casual concord. 1t is not wise to
claim for the animal more than properly be-
longs to it, and any judieious Cat would reject
the preteusions thus put forth in its behalf
with much louder yowl than belongs to its
usual vocabulary.-New York Tribune.

THE AGGRESSIVE BICYCLE.

An open eye should be kept turned
toward the wheelmen. Although at their
recently held National meeting they passed
a measure which, because it sbarpens the
definition between professionals and
amateurs, turned all attention to that reso-
luton, nevertheless showed their fanrs
against the bad roads that everywhe pre-
vail. The following principles are in logi-
cal order: First, the bicyclists OF the
United States are better organized than
the representatives of any other interest;
second, their numerical, financial and COM
mercial strength is unmatchable; third,
good roads are necessary to them; fourth,
they already have the power, if they exert
1t wisely and intelligently-nots seifishly,
but for the good of all the people-to com
pei the public construction and mainte-
nance OF good roads; fifth, such roads, in
reasonable mum bers and constructed where
they would advance the prosperity of the
communities which they traverse and of
the people at large, would add greatly to
the welfare of all; sixth in the absence of
the exercise of such an influence or power
we shall likely remain without roads nee
essary to our prosperity; seventh, as the
expense of constructing and maintaining
public roads must be borne largely by pub
lie funds created by taxation, and as the
machinery for the levying, collection and
disbursement of these funds is elective it
follows naturally that the wheelmen, in
order to secure good roads, will see that
candidates friendly to their interests are
nominated and elected.
This sequence of ideas and events is fore
shadowed by the San Jose Letter and the
San Jose Neacs. Tney give this concrete
statement Of the case: The Garden CITY
Cyclers has 300 active members, each OF
whom represents five votes. This makes
total of 1900 votes in San Jose, and, as a
factor operating outside party lines, that
is sufficient to throw the election to one
party or the other if the choice of the
wheelmen is nominated by either party.
In addition to this organized strength is a
very large unattached cycle vote that would
go to the choice of the organized wheel
men.
The great temptation which will now
assall misunderstanding that they ap-
preciate their power and are willing to
exercise it wisely-will be to proceed in
dependently of organized politics. and
thus make new political party of them
selves. Not only would it be far more ad-
vantageous to them to hold the balance of
power and compel one or another political
party to nominate certain candidates of
their choice, but it is their clear duty to
assist in making the established parties as
efficient as possible in promoting the wei
fare of the people. 1t is well enough for
them to concentrate their efforts on the
one proposition that concerns them, but
they will run serious risk of ruinous an,
tagonism if they set about the task of
creating new political party from their
ranks.
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-18

enforced by the courts-nothing is more
evident than that laws governing official
conduct are entirely idle in the absence of
honest public officers. 1t is impossible to
frame laws which dishonest men charged
with their execution cannot circumvent.
Unhappily there is wide margin between
the letter of the law and ingenious means
for its subversion without the ipcurring CT
penalties. The whole basis of a republi-
can form OF government is the honesty
and intelligence of the elective power 'as
represented in the persons and conduct of
those elected.
No better illustration of the fatuity of
laws in the absence of honest and intelli-
gent persons to administer and enforce
them can be found than in certain prom
inent chapters of California s history In
the turbulent days of the mining excite
ment, when men, individually controlled
by all manner of diverse honest and dis
honest ideas, were assembled from the
four corners of the earth, and when the
written law as the exposition of any gen
eraI principle of right had not come as the
product OF organization, there was, never
theless, such a melting out of stern and
righteous justice. as the written law of the
United States, with all the intricate ma
chlnery for its exercise, has never been
able to accom- plish. The justice enforced
by the unwritten law of the border was of
that kind which sets individual accounta-
bility and the universal rights of liberty,
lie, rlghtful possession and honest agency
above any possible concealment behind q
hidden power or any appeal to TECHNICAL
ties whose successful use runs counter to
general ideas of right
1t is admitted that the municipal affairs
OF san francisco are grossly mismanaged
that burdensome taxes. inevitably work
ing to retard the progress of the City, are
levied, collected and squandered or stolen.
This would not be possible if men who
were both honest and intelligent controlled
the affairs OF the City. That our public
affairs are not so conducted is proof of the
TACT that men who are both honest and
intelligent have not been elected to dis
charge the duty.
The whole truth is that they are creatures
OF unscrupnlous political machines. To
crush these machines is the supreme duty
OF the hour. Let that first be done, and
then we may talk about improved laws for
the puplic good. Il is the corrupt political
boss whose hand is in our City treasury.
The City Hall is his picklock to every
private purse in town, and he laughs at all
laws present or prospective. When these
corrupt machines are destroyed there will
be time to think of improved laws for di-
| recting the actions of honest officers.
