UPRISING OF THE PEOPLE.
tausc of the Immense Popular Vote for
Mckinley.

Mckinley.
one OF the gratifying features of the
election Is the enormous popular vote
that has been given to Maj. Mckinley.
His majority is the greatest that has
ever been given to an American presi-
Dent, with the possible exception of
Grant in 1872, although his electoral
majority is in no such proportion. This
is due to the fact that he carried the
large states and cities by enormous ma
ioriiics. while In the smaller states the
vote is more evenly divided.
One season for satisfaction at this re.
suit is that the main issue appealed in
an especial manner to the business and
individual interests Of all the people
and where those interests are the most
felt md appreciated, that is, In the great
populous centcrs, the vote was the most
decisive for Mckinley. In the rural dis.
tricts. where the commerce Of the world
is not so closely seen nnd noted and
where money is known only in It's small

The result Of th@ election is splen
did vindication Of the wisdom and pa
triotsm of the AM ,erican people.
Incendiary and se1litious appeals were
made to them. It was .assumed they
were suspectible 1, influences that, II
continued TO be ex lrted, would resul,
inevitably in the terthrow of repub-
lican institutions, hough Of course il
was denied that th s would be the ef'

But the American people have eject.
ed, emphaticully q nd overwhelmingly
these appeals. heir manhood and
their patriotism hnI le been manifested
in manner that W III end for all time
the possibility Of q recurrence of the
danger that has thr satened the repub,
lie.
For this we shoult give thanks. The
country has escaped b great peril-how
great the majority of those who cast
their votes for MIR. Ryan have little or
no conception.
The appeals that \ Yerc made to the
people were insidiou S and destructive.
1t was assumed thu class hatred ex.
listed, and that II co, ia be famed into
flame. 1t was take for granted that
since this class hatre D existed 1t would
be easy to lead ma jority of the peo-
pie to espouse docti ines un-Amerlcan
and revolutionary.
This was antagor istic tc American
sentiment, and while I never disturbed
tho serenity nnd eq ianimity of those
whose faith in the Al ierican character
is rock-ribbed and 81 endy, still il pro.
duced uneasiness ans public trsplda-
tion.
The result o. he election will
strengthen the repr bic. since 1t will
deepen faith in the character of the
American people. ID proves that the
spirit OF discomfort WI fch has been con
iurcd to alarm the timAd is not so strong
MS 1t has been describ,sd. 1t shows that
the free silver theory Which hos caused
politicians 20 shake fIpr years, has no
strong hold on the AND iirican people. II
proves that the American people indig-
nantly refuse to be divided into classes.
They refuse TO recognize the supcriori'
ty or the inferiority In o political sense
of any of their fellow cl,untrymcn
From every point Of lew the result OF
the election is reassurlng and comfort
ing; II strengthens thd government; ii
causes us TO look into the future with
confidence and hope; sweeps nway
tcrrors which we now dec were imngl.
nary, and places us on q I'm and substan'
tlal footing.
But greater than all the exhibition
which has been made OF dhc intelligence.
patriotism and frmncsd of the people.
That is the best OF all.

| A New Scheme to Care for Numcroui
| Wheels In Great cities.
The latest development in cycling
circles is the formation of company
which will establish bicycle bins" al
over the metropolitan district. With
in week so of these establishments
will be in operation, and when the reg
ular season opens next spring thai
number will probably have been in
creased ten to fifty fold.
The organization is known as the Cy
elists' Protective league. 1t has beer
Incorporated under the laws of New
Jersey, with n capital stock of 100000
with par value of $40 a share.
The plan in contemplation is to estab
lish from 500 to 5000 bicycle bins" IL
md around New York city. At each OF
these bins members will be afforded
valuable privileges, such as storage fol
wheels. arrangements for repairs, toi
lct-rooms. etc. The charge to members
will be So n month, or $50 year. This
will include nn insurance policy cover
irg bicycle accidents, allowing S1,ooi
in case of death and IS n week indemnity
for injuries sustained while cycling
These insurance policies will be issued
by au insurance company already in
business, and In issuing them the Pro
tective league will act merely as NJ
agent.
"There is great need OF for some such
enterprise" said one Oft the officers, "and
we think we have good thing not only
for ourselves. but fer the public al
large. We shall offer the same advan.
tngcs TO transients that we do to regu'

ten cents day for storage at any OF
the bins, With so many cyclists living
in flats, bins in residence localities
should be profitable. Nearly everyone
would pay Sc a month forstorage rather
rather than carry wheel up and down,

business can store them in bin convcn.
lent to their Offices or shops during TIE
daytime. Thus storing them at each
end OF trip would cost less thar

Should the plan prove profitable In
New York the business will be extended

commodntlons outlined above, the
league will sell and rent bicycles, fui.

Prejudice oy.rthrown,

we are not likely to see again. At least
not In many years. II has In many re.
spccts been the most significant cam.
paign In the history Of the country. The
issues were all important and far reach
ing. The forces In favor of sound
money and sound government had great
odds Of prejudice and discomfort TO
work against. 1t is remarkable that
such victory should have been won
out Of such conditions. Nothing but
tho intelligence and the patriotism OF
the people saved the country In this
emergency. Tint intelligence and pa
,rlotisin can still be relied upon in emcr-
gencies. AS We said the ether morning.
We can best estimate the Importance OF
this victory by contemplation Of what
defeat would have meant. Thoughtful
men and patriotic men must almost
shudder when they think OF what might
have been. II Is what we have escaped
quite as much as what we have won
that makes us thankful as people for
the verdict which was rendered In the
ballot boxes. II took long cam

we have and that fact ought 10 make
