The REPUBLICAN, is forging ahead in
slrculation and is acknowledged to be the
best paper for news In the city. Its woll
filled advertising columns attest It's popu-
larity among the advertisers. 1t does not
have to have half dozen canvassers to
get business for IT. 1t comes without So
licitatlon, as the merchants know where
to place their Advertisements to reach the
greatest number. The paper is not owned
or Its sentiments controlled by any clique
Of mon and having no political ambitions
10 satisfy, itoan be rolled upon to show up
any crookedness on the part Of our public
servants The REPUBLICAN does not have
to procure Its support from tho public by
making Misrepresentation or Lying about
Its competitors The honest merchant
will succeed, while his dishonest compete
Tor will fail.

Now that tho bicycle season has fairly
commenced, the bioyolists will have to
have care they do not forget themselves
and 'scoroh." The first two arrests were
made yesterday, when the blcyclists were
hauled to the hall In the hurry up wagon,
like any other criminals. They should
not be, as they could just as easily DO es-
corted to the hall by tho police officers on
their wheels. Bicyclists who commit q
breach Of the law should not be subjected
TO indignities the same as a thief or a
murderer. Then again, police officer
can't always gauge the pace blcyolist Is
making. We are not in favor Of reckless
Or fast riding, but we think the officers
should use their judgment before subject
ing respectable men or boys to arrest.
