a New GAME IN CANA few
years ago, before the iron horse had
brought in a rush os settlers aud
had made travelling "A pleasure as
compared with the old stage coach
days, a devout Methodist minister
had Invaded the foothill of the
Rockies, and, with light heart and
light pocket, was penetrating as
best he could into the further in.
terror, where he hoped to carry the
glad tiding to the mining camps.
One day, after Calgary had been
left behind and when the stage
stopped to make it's change of
horses, he signiiied his intention to
walk a mile or so until the stage
should overtake him. The stage
took another trail and the preacher
was left in the little miners settle
ment, to wait week for the next
stage.
1t was Saturday aud the next
day was Sunday, SO he decided to
improve the opportunity by giving
sermon to the miners. His dis
course was eloquent, and, that
there should be no question about
his denominational leunings, col
lection was taken up, at the sug-
gestlon of one of the audience.
The next day Rabe Garulson came
to town from Montana. Rabe was
one OF the most expert gam blers in
the Western country, and made
periodical visits to the mining
camps for the purpose of entertain
ing the boys, and incidentally help
ing himself. lie was popular, and
his presence in the town meant a
holiday for the entire camp.
Noticing the stranger over in the
corner Of the room, Rabe asked the
landlord who he was. lIc was con.
hdentially informed that be was a
knowing one, that he had a new
game, and had cleaned the bows
out on Sunday.
"Cleaned them out. eh ? Well,
ne must have a new game.

BICYCLE GOSSIP.

The first 1oO-mile bicycle race given
in this country was held at Manhattan
Beach, n. Y. recently. under the aus
pices of the Harlem wheelmen. The
prizes aggregated $500. This sort of
race has been very popular in Europe.

possIsM-AN OMISSION.

A number OF the newspapers Of this
fair land of ours are placed in the dis
agreeable position of having to praise
him. while they preach against boss
ISM
The embarrassment Of these able jour
nails shows through the thin veil of
non-partisanry that they wear. Truly
theirs is an unenviable job.
OF all the bosses Mr.. Hanna is the
biggest and the brassiest. Mr.. Croker
Is mot circumstance to him, for the
latter has often had TO consult his
party associates, and once or oftener
during the late campaign his opinions
were overruled by Tamrany. Not so
with Mark Hanna. He has his own,
swest way. True he is supposed to rep
resent the President, but it is more
likely that in many matters the Presi-
dent represents him. BE that as 1t may
(and It is too small a matter TO dispute
about, our country has never known
another such thorough-going political
boss as Mr.. Hanna. And therefore. re-
ferences TO bosses" and "bossism"
without the mention OF this dIstin-
guished Ohioan's name. are comparable
only to the play of Hamlet with the
melancholy Dane omitted.
Yes; we insist that II is not fair 10
overlook NJ. Tanna's standing as q
boss. why should so much painstaking
prominence be given TO Boss German
and Boss Croker. while Boss Hanna is
forgotten or ignored?
Though Mir. Hanna has no great
claims upon the good offices of the Dis
patch. we wish to see justice done him.
And so we think II Is but right to sug-
gest that in the future he shall have
the credit that is his due, and that his
name should lead all the rest.

THE SCHOOL TERM.

Our public-school people should not be
frightened by anything that has taken
place in the City Council. The money
needed to keep the schools going as
usual will be voted in due season. The
shortness OF the appropriation seems 10
be the result OF misunderstanding be-
tween the Council Committee and the
School Board. and 1t always takes time
to smooth down such obstacles.
SO very little is TO be gained. and so
very much is to be lost by cutting a
month out of the school term, we cam
not believe 1t could be defended sue
cessfully. For the news to SO out to
the world that Richmond means to abb
breviate her school term would be I,
give us black eye as progressive
community.
Again. the City Council did not cut
down the pay OF the police or OF the
flremcn. and there are good many peo-
pie here who do not think the equities
OF the case Justified the retrenchment
praeticed upon the school Board.
III. after hearing all that can be said
pro and con-espeeially tcon"-the ccun-
ell thinks 1t well to reduce future school
terms, that is another matter; but as
things stand at present 1t seems incum-
bent, upon the city TO so forward and
vote the money tho School Board
stands In need OF. And this we think
win surely be done. We would have It
