The power Of the wheelmar in politics
has lust been felt in New York, where the
railroads framed u rule which barred
bicycles out of baggage cars. Failing to
WOO the magnates over to their side OF
the case, the cycists fathered measure
and it was pedaled into the Legislature.
Only one negative vote was cast 10 the
assembly, aud the bill went through the
senate with the ease of q scorcher going
down hill. The railroads, however, have
been protected, for, while it is made
obligatory upon the roads to carry BIZ
cycles free for passengers, the latter must
give release for damages. There can be
but one result. The modern baggage cal
in New York will be fitted up with inyen'
tions to keep bicycles in place.

statehood Situation.

A number of the Republican newspapers
of the territory, including Las Vegas
daily, are making much ado about Dele
gate Catron getting the committee to
report favorably on the statehood bill.
We deem that it will only be kindness
to remind them that Delegate Joseph
succeeded two or three times il passing
the bill through both houses and the last
time it would have gone through the SEN
ate had not that body adjourned. How
ever, we can promise the Catron organs
that should the great L. B. succeed in
getting the bill through the present Re
publican house, the senate will send II
through in short order. If the present
statehood bill does not pass both houses
