circuit meets has been adjusted. An
official referee will be required at all
meets. The national circuit referees
will be appointed by the chairman OF
the Racing Board. The chairman,
members, and representatives of the
National Racing Board and the handi-
cappers in their respective states shall
be ex-officio official referees. and the
chairman and members of the division
racing boards shall be ex-officio Of
fetal referees within their respective
divisions. The board has determined
that when it is impossible to secure
referee that official shall be named by
the member of the Racing Board In
charge of the district. Ex-Chairman
Gideon held the opinion that handicap
pers should not act as referees at a
meet, but Chairman Mott holds differ
emit views. In order to place the league
right with road-racing men the rules
contain the announcement that an ANA
teur loses his status by competing on
the road under any conditions that
would PROFESSIONALISM him in track rae
ing. The limit of prize value and dis
lance from home that rider may trav-
ell are excepted in road racing. 1t was
expected that radical changes would be
made in the pacemaking rules. The
league will still allow that general
pacemaker may be put in in any event
by the race promoter, providing the ref
cree is notified beforehand of the fact.
Such pacemaker shall assist all the
contestants and is entitled to any place
or prize that he may win If he starts
from scratch. Tandem and larger pac-
ing machines can only be used in races
with the consent of the district men,

A BIT OF SILVER LOGIC.
What Decentralization Has Cost

What Demonstration Has Cost Us.
Scarcely anyone can now be found
to dispute the proposition that the de-
monetization of silver, which made
gold the only primary money, in
creased the value of the latter. And as
it measured all other values, or as the
prices of everything else were rated
in gold it, of course, took more of them
to buy given amount of it. or, as we
say, prices went lower. Not only
prices of products but of real estate,
of everything. Silver is not used as
money because, it is said, it is so cheap,
and it is cheap because an unlimited
demand is not made for it, as is made
for gold. The Republican United
States Senator Chandler of New Hamp-
shire declared in recent speech in the
senate that the shrinkage of values OF
all kinds in this country alone since
1890 is $4,000, 100000, due, he says,
very largely, if not entirely, to the de-
monetization Of silver. The report Of
the director of the United States mint,
for 1896, says that the difference be-
tween the coinage and commercial
value of all the silver mined in the
world since 1873 is $7O6, 11360O. If,
therefore, in 1873 the United States
had made a contract to keep all the
silver Of the world at parity with
gold, as it then was, and had found 1t
necessary to spend that seven hun
dred millions to do it-and that would.
of course, have done tive would have
been spared the loss of s22 in the value
of our properties of all kinds for every
dollar expended in carrying out the
contract. The demonstration of sill
yer has surely proven "a costly as we'll
as CHASTITY mistake.-Farm, Stock
and Home.

The Irish Cyclist says: "Cyclometers,
like photographs and figures, can be
made to lie. AS usual the cute Yankee
comes out on top in the art of decep-
ton, and the following method of put
ting up big mileages will appeal to
some of the cyclometer liars of our
country. The rider in question an
nounced his intention of doing long
ride, and when he came back some time
after his cyclometer faithfully attest
ed to the fact that he had conscien-
tiously performed the feat. Subse-
quently, however, it leaked out that
he had only ridden a very small part
of the journey, and had made his cy-
clometer record in this fashion. Be-
tween each pair of spokes he placed lit
tie sheets of pasteboard, and on going
into an inn for refreshments he turned
his machine upside down. The wind
catching the pasteboard sails drove
the wheel round with great velocity,
and so multiplied his real mileage con-
siderably. This is much easier sys-
TEN than the old-fashioned plan of sit
ting down and spinning the wheel with
ones hands,"

Trick Riding.

The professional racing men who are
now travelling on the southern circuit
have had several disputes lately which
leads to the belief that some unfair
practices on the track are being In
dulged in very early. At the Atlanta
races Wells charged that Weinig re-
sorted to elbowing while racing, and
it is said by racing men that the latter
rider, who is a big fellow, is enabled
through this trick, which he practices
frequently, to obtain favored position
on the track. At Montgomery last
week Weinig was again accused OF
elbow work, and some Of the riders be-
came so incensed that they threatened
to assault him. The circuit men have
a number of tricks on the track. The
custom of elbowing riders is becoming
a very common practice, and the soon
err some of the men are punished by the
racing board the more satisfactory
races will become. Sometimes the new
rider will have the elbow trick prac-
ticed upon him and nasty spill will
result.

Bicycles in Victoria.

Victoria last year imported bicycles
valued at $1,478,715, according to Unit
ed States Consul General Maratta at
Melbourne. The wheels sell at prices
ranging from s5S to $145, and the
American bicycles are favorites. 1t is
the practice of some dealers to sell
wheels on time payment for the exact
amount of the monthly suburban rail-
way tickets, so that the buyer at the
end of certain time seems to obtain
his bicycle free of cost. All of the lead
ing American wheels are represented
by agencies in Australia, and there is
complaint that the trade Is overdone
receiving 35 per cent more bicycles in
proportion to population than any 9TH
er country"

POLITICAL BAsHI-BAzoUKs.
The Resemblance Between Turkish Sol
diers and Many Voters.

The Resemblance Between Turkish Bol-
diers and Many Voters.
A war correspondent of the New
York Journal in describing the passage
Of the Turkish troops through the
town of Salonica said the widest OF
the horde were Bashi Bazouks, and
were so called because in public esti-
nation they were supposed to be "meD
who don't think" but who fight reck-
lessly. The rest of the crowd must
have been equally without thought
but more degraded, for as they march
ed through the streets they were off,
cered by men who carried sword in
one hand and a whip in the other to
keep them in subsection.
What resemblance there is between
these Turkish soldiers and many OF
our voters who belong to the old par
ties. Among them are thousands OF
political Bashi- Bazouks, who fight reck-
lessly and for corrupt political bosses
and do SO because they are men who
don't think" If they did think, they
would revolt and put men in office who
would serve the people and not them
selves and the monopolists.
But the political Bashi- Bazouks in
the old parties are outnumbered ten
to one by the Observation-Disclosures
their-jobs who are whipped and bull
dozed into line and forced to march
forward to their own undoing at the
ballot-box. Just as truly as the Turk
ish conscripts are forced to go up
against the guns Of the enemy by the
swords and whips of their officers.
Let us hope that our Bashi-Bazouks
will begin to think and that the others
will pluck up courage. Let us help
them to do so for our success in this
respect means the success Of the party
and the salvation Of the country from
plutocracy and monopoly.

When the great preacher, Spurgeoc
was at the height OF his fame we'll
known lecture agent wrote him, max
ing him the tremendous offer Of a
hundred thousand dollars for a preach
ing tour, asking at the same time for
reply by cable. What was the agents
surprise to receive cable message
consisting of only the words: "Acts
viii: 90" When the agent had finally
procured Bible he opened it and read
these lines: "But Peter said unto him,
Thy money perish with, thee, because
thou hast thought that the gift Of God
may be purchased with money" This
was the last effort made to induce
Spurgeon to do what SO many eminent
clergymen, too, Of unquestioned piety
have done, namely, make show OF
himself for American gold. The great
nonconformist's scorn for money was
always high, and not too common In
these days when even the noblest gifts
of God are not infrequently bought for
80 many dollars sentence. In this re-
spect Spurgeon was good model To
follow.
