Bells on Bicycles.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
A few bicycle riders have aired themselves
pretty freely in your columns during the
last week versus the use Of bells. would
like to ask these "no-bell apostles if they
can name any other vehicle, machine or
collection of wheels used for road purposes
that is allowed to travel on our streets
without having some accompanying means
of giving warning note Of it's presence
Every piece Of mechanism know of makes
Is aware Of it's approach except the hi
cycle, and just why this rubber-clothed
fad should rule the roost' and steal so
mysteriously along our thoroughfares, en-
dsngering life and limb at every point is
surely a problem. One writer talks about
the expense of it, and quotes figures, etc.,
in lis defense. Here is pointer for him i:
One ordinary sleigh bell suspended from his
landle-bar by a simple, short rubber band
will do all that Is necessary, and. I am
sure these bells are manufactured, silver
plated, Unite ting almost every note in
music, and, II properly selected, would be
agreeable to the ear. They can also be
made mute instantly, if required, by sim
pie manipulation. How much would one
of these bells cost? Another sage writer
tells us that all pedestrians who cross the
read do so at their own risk" Shades of
Solomon! he reminds me Of an Irish judge
who once rendered this opinion upon a
case OF two boys charged with obstructing
the sidewalk: IF every person stood around
blocking up the streets, as you fellows
did, how would the other people get along?"

Gen. Palmer said that if a parity be-
tween the two metals ever obtained,

would be at the end of a period Of
doubt, uncertainty and fear that would
paralyze all industries. Both a gold

honest but to demonstrate it to the
world by fulfilling every honest obli-
cation in honest money.

to Gen. Grant as gallant and gener-
Gus foe. He assured his hearers that
on the coming Southern trip of Palmer
and himself that his distinguished
leader would receive the same cordial
ity as he (Buckner) had received here

Of the Detroit delegation. in response
