BRYAN EXPLAINS PROSPER
lTY.'

The ST. Louis Post.Dlspatch of
the 9th inst printed a letter from
Hon. W. }. Bryan, the first utter
ance after three months of travel
and observation during the return
of prosperity. Among other things
he says: ''Wheat has risen because
the foreign crop has been exceed
ingiy short. The fact that silver
and wheat have parted company
will cause no dismay to those who
understand that the law of supply
and demand regulate the price of
both. Nothing can better disclose
the weakness of the Republican
position than the joy manifested
by the Republicans over events for
which their administration and
their politics are in no wise respon-
sible. If the Republicans desire to
claim credit for the high price or
wheat they must assume the re.
sponsibiIity for the famiuine in
India. A great rise in price should
be followed in "a rise of wages.
Mr.. Bryan says that the joy oyer
the increase of money from wheat
is evident that we have too little
money; that if the farm ers are ben.
Gifted by the rise in one OF their
products, how much better would
it be if the rise was UNIVERSAL; that
the price of wheat will fall when the
foreign demand becomes normal,
and that the present spasmodlc
rise will aid rather than iDjure the
cause of bin etallsm.

1t only needs q glance at ap-

ment that would result from hav-

courage many proprietors OF

of fences on street frontages.

They are to the effect that capital

of the canal. When last Novem-

attorneys of the transcontinental

statement that they had the

pointed to secure delay, that
its report would secure two
years more DELAY, and then they
would provide for more delays.
The Suez Canal people can afford
to put up for this sort of thing,
Mr.. Cobb represents, to the ex-
tent of five millions year, or not
exceeding one-twentieth of the
income Of that canal, because they
estimate that the opening of the

Good roads have long been a
specially with the Hawaiian Gov
eminent, and there is no great
reason for agitation or organiza-
ton, on the part of wheelmen or
others, to secure a boon already
possessed to the utmost extent of
the treasury's resources. Hawaii
does not require more government
of leagues and guilds and inter.
ests, as it has enough of that sort
of thing already. If it have
simply government of the
people, all Legitimate concerns
and needs will receive fair
and equal treatment. The idea
of persons who voluntarily make
use of one particular style of
locomotion going into politics as
a body, with the probability of their
particular hobbies driving every
other concern of society out of
their minds, is very absurd and
liable to be pernicious. A poll

ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND.
Jimmy Michael Makes "A Wonderful
| "BiIxc" Record at Manhattan.

Jimmy Michael Makes "a Wonderful
"BiIxc" Record at Manhattan.
New York, Sept. 25.-Cycle racing in this
vicinity was wound up for the season this
afternoon at Manhattan Beach with a rat
Ting International match race between
Jimmy" Michael, the Welch champion,
and Lucien Lesna, the Swiss rider, who
holds the French middle distance record.
The attendance was 1900.
The wind, which had been blowing pret-
ty strongly during the afternoon, died out
before the race. The little Welshman had
the advantage of having the best pacema-
ing machines and decidedly the best pace
makers.
When the contestants lined up, the lit
tie Welshman looked pigmy in compari-
son with his Swiss opponent. At the
crack of the pistol Michael jumped off in
the lead and got the pole, right behind his
quintette, which, after the first lap, re-
tired in favor of a quad. From the start
to the finish the race was a procession,
as Michael led all the way. At the end
of the first mile he was 12O yards ahead,
and he steadily increased his lead
throughout the race. Lesna lost his pace
makers frequently, while Michael had no
trouble in following his. Although it was
a foregone conclusion early in the race
that Michael would, bar accidents, surely
win, Lesna stuck manfully to his task.
At no time, except when change of
PAGERS was made was Michael more than
six inches behind his PAGERS. When ten
miles was covered Michael was a lap and
a half to the good, and on the second lap
of the twelfth mile he Tapped Lesna for
the second time.
At the end of the hour Michael had COW
cred 81 miles and 400 yards, which is
ahead of the worlds one-hour competi-
tive record of 80 miles and 600 yards, held
by Stocks, and the American record 30
miles, 293 2-3 yards, held by himself. The
thirty-third and last mile was traversed
as quickly as the preceding ones, and Mi
chael flew across the tape, a winner by
almost five laps, in the excellent time of
62 minutes IL As seconds.

A CALL To CONFERENCE.
Republican Potentates VIII Meet in
Convention in Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca. Sept PA committee
consisting of E. A. Angler, District At
torney Capt. ], c. Hendrix, late republi-
can candidate for congress, and S. w. Eas-
ley, colored, to-day sent out a call for
conference of republicans of the state to
be held here on Oct q.
The communication is addressed to the
chairman and secretaries of the various
county committees, and the object of the
meeting is declared to be to perfect the
party organization. 1t is expressly stated
in the call that no antagonism to the pres
ent organization is contemplated. 1t has
been reported, however, that the conven-
tion would be called for the purpose of
turning down the present state committee
and doing as much damage as possible
otherwise to Col Buck and his retinue.
The statement has also been made that
Walter johnson. vice chairman of the
state committee and acting chairman, in
the absence of Col. Buck, would be turned
to the wall. This is ridiculed by the COM
mittee who have called the conference as
they are themselves adherents of Buck
and Johnson.
