THE FINANCIAL ourLooK-
Not Much Danger of this Country Joining
 China and Mexico.

China and Mexico.
 MT Louis Windmuller is. one of New York's leading merchants wh has large transactions with German and other foreign houses.
 In recent number of the Berlin Ma. tlon, one Of the influential periodicals ln Germany, he explains to foreign holders e American securities why it IS probable that the United States will SUCK to gold as the standard of value.
 While not understanding the gray. lty Of the present situation he finds sey- eraI reasons fer thinking that this country will net tale is place with Mexico, China and other half civilized silver standard nations. One eff these is the recent rise ill the value Of silver caused by eastern demands, and the in- creased production of gold" which may continue until cur miners will cease to gfumble. > He reasons that:
 4 larger supply of gold is apt to in- crease many values Wheat and some other staples have risen and may con t1nue to rise until our farmers become reconciled to the gold standard. Mean while, in consequence of information spread through various channels many of them begin to doubt if cheap dollars. II Iegallzed, would be more easily ob- talnable than honest 100 cent dollars, and If the thrifty would be more in- clined to part with savings the value of which had become diminished by un- just laws.
 h his opinion, "the great political parties cannot trifie with the financial question. The people arc tired of un. certainty, and a majority will probably vote for the presidential candidate who has the best reputation for sound money principles and the courage to adhere to them irrespective Of party. Leaders in the Republican and Democratic conyen. tlons ought to vie with each other in choosing the most stubborn advocate of the single gold standard, and will do so if they appreciate the drift of public opinion y
 It ought not to be necessary for Mir Windmuller, or for any other influential business man, to reassure foreign invest OTIS that we shall continue to pay our honest debts i'll honest money. The fact that it Is so keeps hundreds of millions of dollars from seeking investment i'll this country, makes the rate of interest unnecessarily high, and adds millions to OUT interest account This simple fact should be clear to our mortgaged farmers.

All Hone.t Division.

The Detroit Free Press says that thers is to be no lodging on the financial question by the Democratic presidential candidate. ''The aspirant Who now talks of a straddle might just as we'll draw ill his boom and devote himself to his pri- vate business. Though there is a division in the ranks on this subject, it is an honest one and the element that con- trols ill the Chicago convention is going to know Interviews of the man placed Ill nomination.

May ston Careless Voting.

In the view of the Louisville Courier Journal it is e'perhaps well enough that some of the sound money Democrats are becoming alarmed over the pros poets of the free silverites controlling the Chicago convention. It will arouse them to their duty and cure them of their good l.asured habit of, while ad- voeating sound mopey principles, voting for freeisilver men.

 Miss Lillian t. Boyd is the name of young woman who Is now on her way around this country awheel She is IS years of age, halls from New Orleans and is said to be a true sample of the much praised southern beauty Miss Boyd is not making her bicycling trip for her health nor for the fun there is in it, but is riding from her home to this city to earn bet ef $1, 900.
 To win the bet, the fair cyelist was compelled to leave Houston, Tex, pen niless and return to her home with $500. She was recently in St. Loais, and i'll the 52 days that she has spent in riding from Houston she has earned the $500 from the sale of photographs If herself.
 Miss Boyd left St. Louis for Chicago. where she will rest a few days before starting for New York. After q rest in the metropolis she will start for Phila- delphia. She wears blooner5 that are correct ill style and has already been offered a large salary to ride certain make of wheel the remainder of the journey.
 Probably the " freakiest'' wheel of the year is that owned by Billy Bain- bridge, the erstwhile English crack, who is at present in this country. Billy is training on the wheel every fiEe day and expects it to land him up near the front ill the great Chicago Decoration day road race.
 The peculiarities of the wheel are many. Attached to frame of the regu- lar diamond pattern are 22 inch instead of 28 inch wheels. The right pedal is attached to the rim of the front sproek- ct, which is 12 inches ill diameter. The crank 10 which this pedal is attached forms one of the spokes of the sproeket The gear is Il, and instead of chain there is an endless band of spring steel, pierced at intervals of about two inches to receive rivets, which project through the inner side. The heads of these riv- cts engage with small slots cut into the periphery of the two sprocket wheels Fitted with light racing bars and a wooden saddle of new pattern, the freak tips the beam at exactly 13 pounds The wheel is not on the market and is the only one of the pattern ever turned out

The long talked of race between the bicycle and the fastest of railroad trains, the Empire State express, it seems, is at last about to occur If the weather permits, there will be race OH May 15 that will undoubtedly interest the entire country. The race will be held near Al bany, and will be between the fast ex press train with arecord of 37115 seconds for a mile and the now famous sextet bicycle The friends of the latter claim that with good riders the ''bike" will prove that it Is the fastest method of locomotion on earth.
 A track six miles long is now being prepared parallel to the tracks near Al bany The wheel has already been built, and is sextet geared to 196 inches If the men to ride 1t can turn their pedals three times each second, aS is hoped, the train record for mile will be beaten 2 2-5 seconds. The veter- an trainer of bicycle riders, John West, has taken charge of the riders N no are to make the attempt at the record. The machine is built on the cantileyer prin- ciple, and it is claimed the weight of it's six riders will not defect the frame in the least. There are four sprockets used in gearing, so that at each reyo' lution of the pedals the bicycle moves ahead 42 feet. The entire sextet weighs 1371a pounds.
 It is not stated definitely who the men to be placed on the wheel will be, but it is understood that the team will be made up from the following men John Lund or Dave Coburn of St. Louis as steersman, Fred Rau, winner of the Chicago road race in 1894; Fred Laugh cad, the young Canadian champion; John Lawson, the Terrible Swedej Fred Weage and W. S. Kenyon of U:.asgo, F. W. Benkey of Mount Clemeng, loh., and H. K. Frederickson, the Nsbfaska champion. Philadelphia Press.

New Workers are never satisfied. The wheelmen Of the metropolis not only want cycle path, but are demanding that it be an elevated one. It is a we'll known fact that greater New York ex- poets to have double deeked "L" road. Now the cyclists want 1t made three decked affair, the additional deck to be used as a cycle path. When the plans for the double decking of the ele- yated railroad system were presented to the mayor, there was also submitted for the consideration of the city officials separate sketch of a second plan, which showed three story structure, the two lower stories being used by the elevated trains and the third, or upper, story for bicycle path.
 To each side of the structure guards would be erected sufficiently high to prevent accidents to wheelmen. At half mile intervals 1t IS proposed that light elevators shall be erected to carry wheelmen to and from the path.
 The structure will be foored i'll Geor- gia pine to the width of about 20 feet, and in the center of it will be placed q division rail, with openings at quarter mile intervals, where crossings may be made to the opposite track. Tine wheel ing will be regulated, those going north taking the east track and those south the west track. It is estimated that 50, 900 persons would use the hicycle track daily.

 Itwas wheel, the entire framework, except the joints, of which was made of hollow wood. It weighs exactly IS pounds and is really pretty bit of "bike mechanism " It is made by q Milwaukee man, and this is the first one ever exhibited in the east.

GORMAN IN rHE CAMPAIGN.
Tic VIII Give Counsel aud Advice to
Democratic Chairman Jones.

Tie WIN Give Counsel aud Advice TO
Democratic Chairman Jones.
WASHINGTON, July 30-The location Of
the national Democratic headquarters
will be decided IN a fcw days, Senator
Jones, chairman Of the committee, Is OK
pected here today On tomorrow There Is
a strong disposition ut present 10 locate
the headquarters here, and unless Senator
Jones trip to the west has changed his
ideas on the subject 1t seems reasonably
certain that Washington will be selected.
Although the location Of headquarters OF
Washington would be an entirely new de-
parture, there are many reasons with the
conditions which hedge about the cam
paign, which point TO this city az the
most available from which 70 conduct the
coming campaign.
Comparatively little aid Is expected frUn
New York or Chicago Besides, the CON-
mittee Of the Silver party has already Sc
lected Washington as headquarters, and
all the indications are that the Populist
committee, with Senator Butler at its
head, will also locate here. If the Demo
cratic headquarters were located in this
city the three committees could 70 q GER
tain extent work in conjunction for the
union Of the silver forces and the mass.
ing of their strength. Such fusion of
electoral tickets as may be necessary to
accomplish this result could also more
easily be directed if the several commit
tees were working side by side.
But more important than all is the fact
that Senator German, whose long OK.
perience rs q campaign manager would
make his services almost invaluable TO the
new committee, has agreed to give Soma
tor Jones the benefit Of his counsel aad
advice. He does not, however, II is under
stood, desire any official connection with
the committee, but if the headquarters art
located here he will be constantly in close
touch with the work as it progresses
