The Rules of the Road.

Timely attention Is called by the
Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette to q
fruitful source of mischief in populous
cities arising from neglect Of the simp-
lest precautions in travelling. Nov
that the season for promenading, horse
back riding, driving and bicycling has
come, serious injuries are reported" 1t
says, growing out of collisions and
other accidents incident to crowded
thoroughfares and fast-moving We
hicles. If correct statistics were kept
of these casualties the loss Of life would
be found appalling. There are thou
sands MANNED for life who might es-
cape injury altogether by the exercise
of proper caution and the observance Of
those rules which are essential to safe
ty. The greatest sufferers from road
accidents in recent years have been the
riders Of bicycles, and while one rea-
son Of this Is their recklessness as to
speed, the main cause Is their utter
disregard of the ordinary regulations
which govern those moving over the
streets and highways.
"There are many rules, but the most
important Of all is that embodied In
the familiar direction-keep to the
right. Everyone should learn the i'm
portance of this Injunction. since neg
lect of 1t may bring serious trouble
when least expected. Some persons
seem naturally perverse, and rather
disposed to take the wrong side of the
road even though the other should be
the most inviting There are those who
persist in keeping to the left Of the
sidewalk and jostling everyone they
| meet, while they could get on much
more speedily and comfortably by
keeping their proper position and NOV
ing with the current. The same kind
Of persons are encountered on the high
ways, and much Of the pleasure of rid
ing and driving is lost by refining up,
pulling out and In, and calculating
how to avoid apprehended dangers.
1.-THE bicycle rider Is of all others
most likely to suffer in case of collision.
He has q light and swift-movlng ve-
hicle. but he Is not always able to extri-
cate himself from perilous positions and
should be careful to keep within the
bounds of safety at all times. Fami-
liarity with the use of the wheel seems
to beget carelessness as to danger and
recklessness as regards speed. They
are often seen moving at scorching'
rate, and will dash from side to side
at a speed which certainly invites dis
aster,"
In this city there ia an ordinance
limiting the speed Of bicycle riders to
ten miles an hour and requiring the

Political Ethics.

1t is greatly to the discredit Of Ameri-
can politics that any one should feel
called upon to discuss the religious be-
liefs Of the candidates for president.
That tn the interest Of one OF these
candidates 1t should have been thought
necessary to make public statement
Of the denominational affiliations not
only Of himself, but also of his man.
servant, his maid-servant and the
guest within his gates, is to be regret
ted and deplored, as introducing into
the canvass a factor which has no
rightful place there. The civil govern
ment Of the United States is happily
separated from ecclesiasticism and
while the present temper Of the vast
majority Of the American people en-
dures, 1t will remain in this state of
complete divorce. No president would
dare to recognize lines of religious
cleavage or division in his official ca
pacity as the executive head of a nom
sectarlan government, and no sect
would dare to ask for such exclusive or
discriminatory recognition. Therefore
the religious test in national politics is
wholly uncalled for.
On the other hand, 1t is distinctly to
the credit Of American politics that the
recent effort of a small number Of poll
ticians to cast odium upon one of the
prominent candidates for having been
at one time helped out of financial
difficulty by the unsolicited contribu-
tionR Of wealthy friends and admirers
has utterly failed Of its purpose. This
unfeeling attempt to turn to factional
account q purely personal business
vicissitude in which there was no ten
able ground for suspicion and no ves-
tise Of evidence tending under the most
strained construction to warrant an in
ference Of dishonor, was very properly
rebuked by decency-loving citizens OF
both parties, in terms which left no
room for mistake as to the public's in
tention Of demanding fair play. It ID
believed the ans sense Of Justice which

The State Chairmanship.

The formal announcement by Deputy
Attorney General John p. Elkin, OF
Indiana county, that he has consented
to be a candidate for state chairman
to succeed Senator Quay, who has at
last decided not to seek reelection,
will crafty that large element in the
party which has been looking forward
with mingled feelings of regret and
disgust to a possible in1iction Of some
such man as Andrews or Leach. The
circumstances attending Mr.. Elkins
announcement are such as to leave no
doubt of his sincerity and very little
that he will have the tacit il not the
open support of Senator Quay. All
that Is needed Is free field and no fa-
vors; upon such conditions Mr.. Elkin
ought to have very little difficulty in
securing the honor as against Frank
Willing Leach by an overwhelming ma
jority.
Mr. Elkin has been for years a warm
friend Of Senator Quay but he has not
lacked in those essentials of friendship
which prompt to wise counsel and time
ly admonition. He has not sought to
trade on the senator's favor, nor has
he ever tried to set up q sub-dynasty
for his own personal advantage. Had
Senator Quay listened, one year ago,
to the honest opinion Of men like Ell
kin, there would have been no factional
warfare. 1t Is a reassuring augury to
discover that the senator has at last
reached a realization Of the disadvant-
ages incident to a noisy and officious
retinue of none too respectable hangers
on and is preparing to widen the circle
of his confidantes to include clean men
and true.
We should have liked to see our ex-
perlenced fellow-townsman, Colonel
Watres, made state chairman again;
but the craftsmanship Of gentleman
like Mr.. Elkin will doubtless be equal
ly efficient and certainly no less satis-
factory in its promise of political
cleanliness.

DEMOCRACY AND THE FARMER.
W. Il. Curtis, in Chicago Record.


am asked whether II Is not true that
the Wilson-Gorman tariff law contributed
very largely to the prosperity Of the farm
ing population by extending the exports Of
agricultural products In comparison with
what they were under the Mckinley law"
The only way to answer such question
is to compare the figures as they appear
In the reports of the bureau of statistics.
1t would be scarcely fair to compare tho
fiscal year Of 1895 with the fiscal year Of
1894, because In the former case the ex.
ports of flfty-eight days came under the
Mckinley law. And It would be equally
unfair to compare the calendar year Of
1895 with the calendar year of 1894, because
In the latter case the exports Of 1876 days
were conducted under the Wilson, German
law. During the fiscal year Of 1894 and the
calendar year of 1895 conditions were very
similar. although there was a consider
able fall In prices, which will be noticed
by comparing the quantity and the value
OF tho articles exported.
The following table shows the value Of
the principal agricultural articles export
ed from the United States during the fir.
cal year 1854, under the Mckinley law, and

indignation the ghoulish effort to

tial campaign.

It Is noticeable that the onward
march of the loud-sounding Mckinley
boom has of late grown somewhat un-
steady. Can 1t be that Mark Hannas

down to hard work?

plain sounding Of signal bells when the
rider approaches crossing. The or
dinance has been on the statute books
for nearly three years. but We do not
recall that q single arrest has been
made under 1t, notwithstanding the
careless riders in almost every part of
the city. In Buffalo. where a similar
ordinance prevails. police mounted on
bicycles give instant chase to every
"scorcher." and the result is that al
though Buffalo has more than 10000
wheelmen. fast riding in much-traveled
portions of the city is almost unknown.
If common sense and reason are not
sufficient to safeguard pedestrians in
Scranton, II will be necessary to resort
to sterner methods. While the great
majority Of our wheelmen are consider
ate and careful, there is sufficient per-
centage of reckless riders to warrant
ne authorities in taking note Of fa-
grant violations Of the bicycle Ordin-
ance. and they cannot do this too soon
for the comfort of those who walk.
The generous offer of Mr.. William Fl.
Richmond to buy the first 100 copies of

for them 81 apiece, merits grateful rec
ognltion. There is no question that each
copy of this handsome and comprehen-
sive special edition, filled as 1t will be,
by valuable contributions from the
most gifted women writer's Of this COM
munity, will be worth easily the sum
which Mr. Richmond offers. And when
it Is remembered that the proceeds of
the edition are to be devoted to most
worthy philanthropic purpose, the ap-
propriateness of the proffer gains in em-
phasis. The liberal example thus set
should lead to imitation.

RUMOR AND FACT.
Representatives Talks Abouti the
Sunday Shooting Petitions.


Sunday Shooting Petitions.
A member of the House of Represent
atives who favors- the Sunday shooting
bill said recently of the petitions placed
before the Legislature:
"Rumor had it that 1900 signatures
to the petition in favor of Sunday tar
get shooting had been secured in very
brief space of time. The petitions when
presented to the House were said to
have about 1000 signatures. An actual
count shows but SIS.
t'The petition against target shooting
had 473 signatures, including a large
representation if not a majority of the
principal business houses and property
holders in town.
Truly, it. is easy to create a wrong
impression by making big noise or
putting on a bold front"

Fair salaries and wages have been

during the hard years, and Lihue has
succeeded in keeping stable class
of white laborers, considerable colony
of white people, ever since 1882.

DEAR SIRS: Our exhibition of the
New Disc Pillow in broom corn at this
place today was not only a success but
complete surprise to all the farmers
present, and was an agreeable surprise
to myself in that sort of work. [ talked
with every farmer at the exhibition,
and the majority of them said the pillow
was worth all it cost just to plow
broom corn. Just think how absurd it
would be to try to pillow in heavy broom
corn without breaking Or raking and
burning the stalks, but the Disc Pillow
will do it, and do it well. From what l
have seen of this pillow [ think it is the
only plow, for broom corn, at least.
Yours truly,
