RULES OF THE WHEELWAY.
The New Wheeling Path-A Track.
Walker On Il.
Farmers Now Helping on the Work
A Visit to Folsom and Aid
Rendered.

The Capital City Wheelmen's Con-
struction Committee yesterday inaug-
urated the "pathwalker" system for
the new wheelway. They placed a
skilled cyclist, Mr.. Meyer, on the path,
with the proper tools to proceed with
it's repair and betterment. He will pass
over the track constantly six days in the
week and keep it clear of obstructions,
tlll up sinks, level up gradually correct
grades at sharp curves, see that teams
do not drive on the path, widen it where
he can, keep up the notices, and slowly
and steadily better the wheelway. This
walker worked yesterday on two miles
and half of the track and effected
many betterments. Fences were
Strengthened up, obstructions removed,
stones and glass picked out, settled
spots graded up, sharp turns corrected,
etc. He managed by hard work to close
UP the first gap, where there was a
water hole, compelling riders to go far
out of the way, and to partly close the
second gap. Tomorrow wheelmen can
ride straight on without making any
detour.
The committee has named the path,
and it will hereafter be known as 1.-The
C. C. Wheelway" The following rules
will be posted on Saturday at several
points:
G. C. WHEELWAY.
l. Keep to the right.
2. Signal on meeting and pass slowly.
3. Signal on overtaking and pass on
the outside.
4. Horses, cattle, and vehicles other
than bicy cles and tricycles, forbidden on
this wheelway. Five dollars reward
for proof and conviction Of violation of
this rule.
5. True cyclists will observe the
Rules of the Road" commit no tres
pass on property, and will stop and re-
move obstructions liable to injure
wheel or tire.
q Be careful here! CThis latter being
a cautionary rule for certain points.)
The committee advises that wheel
men approaching the track go out or
II streets TO Thirty-f,rst, thence to
Thirty first and J, in preference to rid
ing on ] street above Sixteenth, as they
will save time and labor thereby, J
street being in such a deplorable condi-
ton for wheels.
A few wayside houses have refused
to render assistance to the wheelmen,
and will not, therefore, receive the
'Wheelway Card signifying sup
port of the wheelway, but the great
majority hail the improvement gladly
and are solicitous to render assistance
The path is now freely used by pedes-
trians, and the people along the line
are much pleased with it, women es-
pecially blessing the wheelmen for fur
nishing them a clean elastic path on
which to walk, rendering 1T no more
necessary to draggle through dust and
stone and weeds in passing from house
to house.

AN IMPORTANT LOCAL MATTER

In our local columns this morning will
be found an article on the Serial Street
Bond System that is Of first interest
to every one having the welfare Of Sac
ramento at heart. It is shown that the
Supreme Court has just affirmed the
constitutionality of the Act Of 1891, and
that we now have opportunities to bene-
fit ourselves which a year hence may
have departed from us forever.
It is shown that there is no guarantee
that the State will continue the rock
crushing plant at Folsom, though its
abandonment would be little short of a
crime; that there will be a determined
fight to have the plant abandoned since
it cuts across powerful private interests
and some radical socialist ideas which
have combined to have it closed down
just as it gets fairly at work.
It is pointed out that with most of
our streets already curbed and guttered,
lished, and therefore a large part of
street improvement cost already dis
charged, we can macadamize our streets
at a cost lower than has ever been
known in any city in the Union It is
pointed out that with the best of trap
rock macadam road metal delivered on
the streets at from 65 cents to IS cents.
sacramento is to enjoy an advantage
that only a few other localities can pos
sibly embrace. The local article illus
trates by a series of estimates what
may be done under the Serial Bond
System at cost so light that it will
burden no person.
The article in question should be read
and considered by all our citizens
Whatever is to be done in the premises
must be done now. If there is much de-
lay orders will crowd in ahead of Sac
ramento for the new road metal to an
extent that will render it Impossible for
this city to be supplied for long time
and possibly never.

For fine hand political manipulation,
boss thimble-rigging and wire pulling,
it is evident from news Of the recent
elections that the Spanish politicians
can give the shrewdest of American
workers odds and still beat them out
They appear to have overshot their
mark in one respect. however, in a way
that will excite the contempt Of the
American bosses, for they l1ave s'hoeged
the whole thing" as an A1neu16Ru wire
puller would express 1t. The bd1lDes with
whom we have to do are wise In thai
direction; they are content with a sub
stantial majority on any board, or In
any schemes they wish to handle. They
| invariably leave enough of the othe,
side "in" to give results a color OF fair
ness, and afford the minority something
Of representation.

Just why there should be any debate
as to whether the Spanish Government
will recognize General Fitzhugh Lee as
Consul l-General to Cuba is passing
strange. General Lee can by no posi-
bility be obnoxious to Spain. He has

''In your speeches here you
called us anarchists, 'repudia-
tionists, and other epithets, that
caused the blush of shame to
mantle the cheeks of your great
est admirers. Ever since the
war the Republican party has de-
clared in it's platform, and you
have advocated from the stump,
the double standard. This year
you tell us that the gold stand
ard is the correct principle, and
the double standard is wrong.
Were you deceiving us then, or
are you deceiving us now ?
when you ask us to vote for
Major Mckinley because he is an
old soldier of the civil war, we
want you to understand that the
smoke and dust of that conflict
has long since drifted away.
Our swords have been sheathed
in their scabbards for many
years, and have become rusty
while lying on the shrine of
governmental law. We have
been running this government so
long on the old war issues that
we have endangered our own
liberties.
mo, my comrades, we will
never do it. We are going to
support with our votes that
great commoner, the Gladstone

Mark Hanna'S free railroad eX-
cursions to Canton in order to
enable workingmen to shake
hands with the Major are not
having the effect which was so
confidently expected by the
gentlemen who is paying the
freight 1t is a soft thing for
the railroads, but Mckinley is
not getting any votes out of the
scheme. The Cleveland Plain
Dealer gives an amusing account
of the return of a Canton excur-
sion to Cleveland last Saturday,
which shows quite clearly that
the Bryan supporters among the
workingmen are taking advan-
tage of the free rides to Canton,
and having good time generally.
The Plain Dealer says
ION the return of the excurs-
ion from Canton the delegates
marched up the streets hurrah-
ing for Bryan. The cry was
taken up and thousands joined
the procession. The men
marched around the square and
cheered the Bryan men who
were carrying on the arguments
near the band stand, and then
marched to the Plain Dealer Of
flee, where a halt was ordered.
"Who paid our fare to Canton?"
cried one man.
mark Hanna" responded the
workingmen.
"Who paid our way back?" was
the next question.
"Mark Hanna" was the unan-
imouS answer.
"Who paid all our expensesP"
came another query.
mark Hanna" yelled the
men.
"Who bought the HIP nail boys
the coats aud hats ?" asked the
serious citizen.
Mark Hanna" was the reply.
'And who are we going to vote
for ?"
Bryan p
Three cheers were given for
Bryan time and time again.
When the next train arrived at
the Cleveland depot from Can
ton the same program was car
ried out. The men had a free
ride to Canton and came back
stronger Bryan men than when
they started"
Under the circumstances it is
quite natural that Mark Hanna
should be in doubt as to how the
worlmen are going to vote in
November, but to the unso,
phisticated man up tree it looks
very much like the majority of
them will not vote for 1.-the
| Major"

To THE VOTERS OF IDAHO

~ he NOIbt0 VI IOA1O
For the purpose of informa-
ton and to correct any misunder-
standing relative to the attitude
of the Democratic State Central
Committee in this campaign, the
Committee deems it advisable to
make the following statement
There has never been any de-
parture on the part of the Com
mittee from the agreement en-
tered into by the Democratic
and Peoples Party State con-
ventions; nor has there ever
been any intention to depart
from or set aside such agree
ment. The powers of the Com
mittee are executive only, and
they deem it their duty to make
every effort to carry out the
wishes of the State convention
and to elect the entire ticket
there nominated.
The Democratic party was the
first in this campaign to declare
for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, at the present
ratio, without waiting for the
consent of any other nation.
The National Peoples party con-
vention re-affirmed this doctrine.
Great aid and assistance were
given the silver movement by
the action of those delegates who
withdraw from the Republican
National convention, and that
aid we fully appreciate and rec
ognize, and inasmuch as the Sill
yer Republicans take stand on
the silver question identical with
ours, and as we understand are
in favor of reform in State and
county affairs, we therefore in
vite and request them to put
aside mere personal and individ-
ual ambitions and to join with us
fully in electing the entire
People Democratic ticket, to
the end that our State as we'll as
National affairs may be we'll
managed.
This Committee is the only
Democratic Committee in this
State and the only one authoriz-
ed to act for the Democratic
party, and the only Committee
recognized by the Democratic
National Committee of which
James K. Jones is chairman.
Many reports to the contrary
have been circulated, but they
are wholly without foundation.
The People democratic ticket
is the only Democratic ticket in
the State recognized by the Dem
ocratic Committee,
The Democratic State Central
Committee have hitherto acted,
and they hereby declare their
intention to continue to act, in
harmony with the letter and
spirit of the resolutions of the
Democratic State convention, and
