RUN DOWN BY wuEELIES

Within the past few days several per-
sons among them an cid man and a woman
have become the victims of the reckless
bicycler's wheel, and in one instance the
most brutal disregard Of the consequences
of his heedlessness was sho WI by the wheel
man. Although it is quite natural that a
GycliSt may not relish the prospect of ar
rest and fine. yet one would imagine that
where he has run over 4 woman, the COM
noncst feeling of manhood would cause
him to stop long enough to ascertain
whether orr not lie had injured her seriously.
Bot i'll some persons the wheel appears to
crush the ordinary humane instincts, and if
any of these should happen to be brought
into the police court a heavy fine would
be Salutary dose for them.
1t is becoming more evident every day
that more drastic measures must be taken
by the police to bring the offending wheel.

their prerogative, and, though they NAV
imagine that they own the earth, vet they
must be taught that other people have some
rights which must be respected, among them
being life and sound limbs, both of which

RAISING FALSE HOPES.

shortly after the present session of

ample water supply for all purposes for

lions OF activity ana favorable considera-

that this summer We shall again have to
face the possibility OF water famine, as

action-favorabie action. of coursc-are
again 20 he lie. but it must he confessed
that the outlook is not particularly encour-
aging
II Is an outrage upon the people Of TIE
District who pay ample taxes to give them
al municipal convenienccs and comforts
that, year after year, they should &c de
pnved OF the most necessary OF them
through the negligence ard niggariliness
Of Congress. 1t Is doubly an outrage te-
cause all consumers OF city water pay a
considerable rent annually for the privi-
lege, and yet. as soon a the summer season
sets in, they are instructed to lie very
sparing in the use of water, as otherwise
the supply will rot be equal To the demand
And this, at the very time Of the year
when more water is needed for domestic
purposes than at any other. il is nothing
less than n breach OF contract ard an
ineXcusable exhibition of bad faith Oh
the part OF the body that controls cur
municipal affairs. If the common council
of any large city were to be as regardless
of the needs of it's constituents in this
respect as Congress is of those OF the peo-
pie OF the District, it would be the laugh
ing stock of every newspaper ia the country,
and The next local election would mark
radical change.
This insufficiency of the water supply
is an obstacle to proper sanitation; a CON
slant menace to property interests; an
Understandable inconvenience 20 every fam
lily. IT invites sickness and hundred con
comitant evils. There might ne an excuse
if Washington lacked the natural facili-
ties for keeping itself well supplied, but
these are more than generous. All that
Is wanted is the money TO make them
available; the people of the District are
willing 10 pay it. What reason can Con
gress have for denying them this privilege?
