So united are the real interests of the

one section can suffer without the other

While the Commissioners are considering
the advisability of amending the bicycle
regulations, they might look into the case
of the rider who, while technically observ-
ing the rule requiring the carrying of bells
On wheels, yet practically defes it and
seems to try TO make of it laughing stock
He carries his bell in the most unhardy
place imaginable, beneath his saddle
where he can only reach and operate it by
taking one hand from the steering bar and
assuming an awkward position. This in
volN es loss of time and often the risk of a
collision. The bell is a real necessity on
the wheel in certain emergencies. The ma
chine is a noiseless vehicle, speedy of op-
proach, and it is frequently necessary to
warn pedestrians and others of it's close
presence. Its note should always be a mere
sign of proximity and rot an order tt
another person to clear the road. There
are times when the bell is absolutely a
menace, when its constant tinkling has q
demoralfzing effect upon other wheelmen
ana pedestrians, but these occasions are
created by the thoughtlessness of the bell
users themselves. If the bell is so useless

The Cost and Price of Bread,

FROM the New York World. ~ 1N-,J
The bakers have not advanced the nricp
OF bread and they declare that thew will
not do so unless the increase in the cost of
-four shall be such as to make present
rates unremunerarive
But certain grasping grocers have made
the price of wheat excuse for grabbing
some extra pennies by an advance on their
own account
There is no possible excuse for any pres
ent Increase in the price of loaf of brea L.
as little consideration of the facts will
show. The price of barrel of white wheat
use lower grade. but We take this as a
standard. Now, a barrel of flour makes
go pound-loaves of bread, so that the
material cost of each loaf is only "A trihe
over two and q quarter cents. Add fuel
rent and labor, and the cost is swelled to
about two and a half cents. The retail
price is five cents.
In other words, the baker and grocer
with profit between them of 100 per cent
get as much for merely baking and de-
llVering bread as it cost to plough the
ground sow the wheat, reap, thresh and
winnow 1t, haul 1t to n railroad, transport
1t to milling city. grind and barrel it,
ship it half way across a continent. sell ii
through jobber, and haul 1t to the baker $
own door.
Surely the>share of the baker and grocer
ought to satisfy them! Any attempt on
their part to take more upon pretense that
the present advance in wheat lowers their
profit, is extorton and should be resisted
With those who are so situated that they
can bake their own bread, resistance is
easy and simple.

4 Commendnbie Charity.

One Of the most sensible social expert
ments tried in New York for long time
was tie opening of the rec -eati1n pier on
the East River for the benefit of tine poor
people who have no chance to get to water
ing places. This pier proved an instan-
taneous success, and it was not open TO
the suggestion that it tended to pauperize
the people while aiding them IN bearing
their burden of daily existence. Music by
band gave them treat that they could
seldom enjoy and the fresh waters of :he
river and bay lelt new life to languishing
invalids and little babes. Family parties
crowded the pier at night, when the grind
ing work IN the shops and streets was at
an end, and IL was felt by the projectors CT
the plan that the city was doing a vast
amount of practical good among tire poor
at a comparatively small expense. hitch
has now occurred in the enterprise and
unless some of the red tape that tangles
up the affair is cut through by the appli-
cation of little broad charity and COM
mon sense the patrons of the pier will have
their supply of music cut short. The band
has received no pay for the seven weeks
that the pier has been opened, the city
controller holding that some nicely of
formal sanction by the board of aldermen
vas not observed in authorizing the ex-
renGiture, and the musicians, while mainly
playing on wind, cannot afford to subsist
longer On that not over nutritious diet.
Hence the symphonies have been stilled
and the pier has lost half of it's charm.
Of course the air will be just as fresh and
the babies will get as much benefit from
the outing as before, but there is that in
good music, of any style. that lends n
spiration to the tired heart and gives the
toiler courage. 1t will be most unfor-
tunate if the con:plexity of Gotham's fiscal
department should operate to prevent
these riverside concerts.

The Case of Evangelina Cisncros.

While there have been perhaps misunder-

The decision reached at the republican
state convention in Maryland yesterday
is most gratifying in sound money circles
because it both recognizes the necessity
of harmony and provides sufficient means,
if wisely used, to obtain it. But the dam
ger point has not been passed The re-
sponsbility for producing harmony has
simply been transferred from one faction
to the other. Had Mr.. Wellington and his
friends controlled yesterdays convention
the responsibility would have been upon
them. 1t would have been their duty so
to conduct the business as to insure the
full party support afterward. 1t is now
the duty of the other side so to conduct
the new primaries and the new convention
ordered as to insure the cordial co-opera-
ton during the campaign of those who
were defeated yesterday If that is not
done, yesterdays victory will have been
achieved in vain.
No one man or set of men trfumphed at
Ocean City. Sound money and anti-Gor-
manism lriumphed. 1t was an awakening
of the majority of those assembled to the
necessity of averting a very great danger
that threatened the sound money and
anti-Ciorman cause. 1t was a wise paus-
ing on the very brink of precipice. The
party will now try to find a new way
round. 1t ought not to be difficult. The
discovery of the danger in the old path
ought to cause a sharp and successful
lookout for danger in the new. And prob
ably it will.
The selection of Baltimore as the place
for holding the new convention was also
a fortunate stroke. That city is the key
to the whole situation. The warmest of
The factional contentious are there, and
upon the way in which they are handled
everything depends. If they are satisfac-
torily settled a winning campaign for
sound money seems to be assured. If they
are intensified in any way-either by an
intolerant course of the faction in the
ascendant. or by sulking course on the
part of the faction defeated-the city will
likely be lost in November, and with it
the state.
Yesterdays winning will prove of the
greatest value if accepted and used as
a winning for the cause instead of for
faction. The promise, happily, seems to
be for safe and conservative and unifying
results.

Poaching on popuIist Preserves

The launching of new political party in
the United States has ceased to be a mat
ter OF the hveliest concern. The industry
mas peconle 100 common, and there is TOO
little in the way of net result to show for
it. Men band together-some of them very
excellent men-under the spur of this or.
that measure of discomfort, write a plat
form of principles, perfect an organization
appeal to the country, and that is about
the end of it. The country fails to hear.
or, hearing, fails to heed, and the new
party fades from view.
The latest product of this industry makes
its appearance under the name of the
American party. Efforts have been made
to conjure with that name before, bur.
strong as the name has always been,
no party bearing it has ever achieved
anything. The name is now made to cover
multiplicity OF wants and aspirations

Logic of Events.
From the Springfield Republican.

In recent interview Senator Chandler who
occasionally airs belief in the desirability and
obtainabilty of inter tional bimetalism said
that the decline Of silver WAS no argument against
bimetasm." Theoretically. No more Gid the
late war produce any argument against the alb
stract right of the states to secede, or of the
territories to exclude slavery But these things
settled all the same.-vicksburg Herald.
Well said. The logic Of events is no re-
specter of theories. Great questions are
often settled by natural causes, without in
the least deciding which side had the bet
ter of the argument. Bimetalism as Il the
cry may stand nearer to truth and justice
than gold nionometalism, yet it may be {,
lost cause from this day forth.
