BICYCLE SHOW.
Hundreds Visit the Display of
F. Smith s. Co.

F. Smith & Co.
One of the prettiest displays OF bicy-
cles ever made in Atlantic City, or, in
fact, in South Jersey, is that of W. F.
Smith & Co., who opened their elegant,
new quarters, 1906 Atlantic avenue, ON
Saturday evening. There were scores of
visitors to see the display that evening
and fondle and admire the pretty, silent
steeds that were arranged about thf
room. 1t was really interesting to havte
the courteous attendants explain the vs4-
rious strong points of the numerous
makes on display, and show the novel
ties in mechanical contrivances in '97
models. So well was the opening day
of the show patronized and had 80 many
pleasant things said about it, that the
firm has concluded to keep it up during
the present week to give all interested in
bicycles an opportunity of witnessing
the display. Mr.. Smith states that a1
invitation is extended to all to visit the
show, and he and his attendants will be
present and endeavor to answer all
questions concerning the new wrinkles OF
the '97 pattern. The show will be open
evenings, and admission is free. -

eoPUL1sTs IN THEIR DISGUISE.

Complaints come from various locali-
ties by persons calling themselves Sill
yer Republicans against the POpulist
state administration because they do
not receive more recognition at the pub
lie crib. To an impartial on-looker it
would appear that these gentlemen styl-
ing themselves Silver Republicans have
been dealt with in the spirit of liberall-
~ However, what claim have Silver
Republicans TO PopuliSt favor? Who
are Silver Republicans? Republicans
IN everything else except the silver
question" So we have been assured.
The fact that they retain the name Re
publican" with prefix silver is offer
ed as proof that they are still Republi-
cans with a protest against the Repub-
lican party's position toward silver. We
are solemnly assured that on the ques-
ton of Protection they are Republicans
and not PopuliSts: on the question of
metallic base money they do not agree
with the Populists. who are for fiat
money. On all other wild and visionary
schemes demanded by the PopulistS
they are at variance. In word. they
are Republicans and not PopuliStS This
looks very plausible merely put in
words. But if true, We would expect
these protesting Republicans TO protest.
then stop there. They have no excuse
for asking offices TO pay for their action
as proteStants. They were acting from
principle and if so got their reward in
the privilege of registering n kick" at
the polls. If they are not satisfied there
is a way open for them There is moth
ing to prevent them from becoming
Populists. We understand ii costs
nothing 10 be enrolled as a working
l'opulis;. That Office grabbing class of
self-Styled Silver Republicans who are
importuning Governor Leedy for Office
seem 10 be ropulists with a very thin
disguise. They are Populists without
having the courage to admit it. In this
ole can easily sympathize with the hu-
initiation they would he put TO in pub
licly admitting themselves plain Popu-
lists, but they are such and need not
seek TO conceal this fact.
The righteousness of the Silver Re.
publIcans begging or demanding office
from the state Populist administration
might the more clearly appear if we
should imagine the National Tor Gold
Democrats claiming recognition from
the incoming Mckinley administration
The National Democrats are Just as
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1897-01-29

much entitled to favor in the dispense
tion of federal Offices as the Silver Re-
nublicans are in local affairs. The
Democracy has never been noted for its
modesty, but the behavior Of the Ma
tional Democrats in this instance may
be initiated by Kansas Silver Republl-
cans with profit
There are Republicans who believe IN
the free coinage of silver, but that CO.
terie of Office hunting persons self-styi-
ing themselves Silver Republicans who
are seeking recognition from Popuilst
governor are Populists. They do not IN
tend to vote the Republican ticket any
more-unless disappointed by Governor
Leedy. They lack the courage to say
they are Populists and parade them
selves under meaningless qualifica-
ton of Republicanism-Silve Republic
cans. This won't work. We might have
Tariff Republicans, Free Trade Repub-
licans, ad libitum. There is only one
Republican party, and those who are
not in it are out Of it; those who are not
for it are against it.
The office grab bling, self-denominated
Silver Republican is Populist who is
ashamed to confess it.

SWEI ORDIN ANCE.

Chicago is reveling in a hat ordinance
and a spit ordinance. From and after
last Friday it has been unlawful for
any lady to appear at any place or
amusement with headgear higher than
lace bonnet. From the same date
every masticator of the weed is prohib-
tied from inundating his fellow passen-
gers in street cars or in public halls, and
the poor conSumptive must either stop
his cough or stay at home. These are
good laws in their way, but how they
ever found favor with Chicago alder
men is a mystery. If the Chicago pa
ance ever advances beyond the stage
of referred to the committee ON so and
so" without a liberal modicum Of
grease. We look in vain for class or
an interest that would put up for the
two ordinances just passed, unless pos
sibly it might be combine between
The manufacturers of lace bonnets and
chewing gum.
Anyway it is a move in the right di-
rection. The short man can now catch
a glimpse Of the stage without wrench
ing his spine or craning his neck TO peep
around the larboard side of full rugged
theater bonnet, and the delicate woman
can compose herself for ride of ten
blocks in a grip car without the risk of
losing her breakfast at sight of the be-
spattered floor. Now that their hand is
in, let these Chicago aldermen continue
the good example. There is the staring
habit, and the pushing and jostling of
pedestrians on the sidewalk, and the
habit of tort and retort between the
saleslady and her customer, the boiling
of meals at lunch counters, the stop
ping of electric cars by the mangled
bodies of people in hurry, the drink
ing of city water by school children or
other residents, the resistance of high
waymen who work all night to earn
their bread by the game of hold-up, ETC.,
etc. All such abuses might be merged
into an omnibus ordinance and rushed
through while the fit is on. High hats
prohibited in Chicago! 1t is an age of
wonders.
