the stripes and checks are just the re-

colors, called "magpie," still holds its

good taste.

A Pointer for the Police,

The police of this city should take look
at the Philadelphia and New York papers
and read how few bicycle ridors are ar.
rested in those places compared with
Wilmington. The police who ride wheels
In this city go much faster than nine
tenths Of the riders whom they arrest.
Would 1t not be to the citys advantage
for tho police to make thoir record for an :
other term by arresting some Of the dan.
gerous people who are continually commit.
ting wrongs, and not arrest every rider
whose face Is red and call for the patrol
wagon and have HIM taken to the hall.
In New York and Philadelphia riders arc
cautioned by the police and then should
.siey disobey the officer takes tho wheel to
sthe police station and the rider oalls at
the station, pays his fine and receives his
wheel. Perhaps 1t would pay the police
to follow this example before their term Is
out II they want another term.

TO recognize the insurgents as belliger-
ents could be considered germane to
any appropriation for the relief of
American citizens.
1t is not unlikely that Speaker Reed
VIII declare minority report out of
order The Democrats. however, are
determined to bring the house to
vote on the question of recognition of
Cuban belligerency. Mr.. Hit says that
the Republicans are willing to meet
that question again, although they
adopted resolutions declaring them
selves In favor of Cuba in the last
house. They do not intend, however,
to complicate a simple resolution for
an appropriation with the question of
belligerency, he says.
Mr.. Bailey said today that the Re-
publioans did not want to meet the
question with Republican president,
who would be put in the position of
enforcing or disregarding the recon-
mendation of congress. He added,
when asked If a minority report would
be in order, that the Democrats would
be tempted to. repeat the scenes of the
Fifty-first congress If the speaker re-
fused to allow consideration of such
report from the committee on rules.
