ABOUT BIKES.

An eX-dealer in wheels is
credited with saying, "a man
can buy one of fifty bicycles
and not make a mistake. :"
What he meant to infer was,
that the material from which
the Black Manufacturing
Company constructs the Tri-
bune bicycles is SO uni
formly perfect; that the
workmanship is of such "a
superior character, that out
of fifty wheels, one is as
good as another.
The '97 model Tribune has
three Improvements over
those of 90. The upper
frame tubing is constructed
of II-8 inch steel and the
seat post is one inch tubular,
and is secured by a clasp.
The advantages Of these
changes are manifest to ev-
cry rider of a wheel. The
Sprocket chain has a recently
patented improvement own
ed by the Black Company,
and not found on any other
wheel, and the pedal shank
is made longer than before,
an improvement easily re-
cogniZed.

SECRETARY SHERMAN.

In looking over the personnel
of President McKinlcy's cabinet,
we find he has selected a. his adj
visers men OF recognized ability,
some of them of wide reputation
and most OF them known a most
conservative and sound thinking
men. But the man who attracts
the principal attention III this
country i John Sherman, Secre-
tarv OF State. 1t l. to Mr.. Sher-
man that the people Of the United
States will look to outline the for
eign policy and upon Mr.. Sher-
mans say-so will in some degree
depend the success of annexation.
In going back over Secretary
Sherman's career we find one dis
tinguishing feature particularly
prominent during his service III
the Houses of Congress-he fav-
ors the action that appears to be
the most expedient for the time
being. In his capacity as a legis-
Iator Mr.. Sherman has not been
the leader who stands out promi-
nently among his fellows; the
robust character who looks far
into the future, maps out the way
and saws: This Is right / will
lead. Who will follow In the
first wears of the Civil War we
find Sherman advocating and vot-
inc for the "Crittenden resOlu-
ton" which practically guaran-
teed slavery to the Southern
States. Later Sherman was III the
van that made the Crittenden re-
solution dead letter and wiped
slavery out Of existence. Again III
1890 Sherman fathered the silver
purchase act" and in the extra
session called by President Cleve-
land he was one OF the foremost
advocates of Its repeal, stating that
I'm 1890 he considered the law the
best way out of the difficulty for
the time being.
With the exception of his
term of office under President
HAYES, Mr.. Sherman's career has
been marked by his shifting Opin-
ions. This is not the mark of ideal
craftsmanship yet the fact remains
that Sherman has continued in the
harness year after year and has
witnessed the more brilliant lights
of generation rise and set.
In looking over his past life 1t
is readily apparent that Mr.. Sher-
man is a man who believes there
are times when statesmen must
act without reference TO the past
and that inconsistency is not a sin.
Consequently it Is next to impos-
sible TO forecast what he Will do as
Secretary of State by looking up
his past record and his attitude in
various political campaigns Re
aIizing his declining years and
the fact that he Is now as near the
Presidency OF the United States
as he ever will be, it Is highly
probable that Mr. Sherman will
seek to make record that will be
remembered. His years of active
service are few at best and the
time has come when he can assert
his personality much more fear
lesslv than when his tenure of
office depended upon the people.
1t Is safe TO assume that he will
seek not only to add merit to hisI
own name. but will also seek to
carry out the promises of his party |
and fulfill the expectations of the
people who supported the leader,
President Mckinley.

to a dispute existing between the pro-

mansion is above the room OF the laun-

the fire in the Lee establishment few
DAYS ago was caused by fire under the
boilers in the laundry going through
the fiues in the Lee house, setting the
latter place on fire and nearly causing
a serious confagration. Miss Lee made
a forceful objection to the fire under
the boilers being relighted and they
have not been started.
