LOoPHOLE FOR POLITICIANS.

Two forces have been at work to prevent the
city departments from buying pententiary made
goods-the friends Of union labor and the poll
ucians who have been able, even under Repuhlt-
can administrations. to get some advantage for
themselves out OF the purchase Of public supplies.
Most OF the pernicious practices of the Demo-
cratic ring have been corrected. but there is still
an occasional breath OF scandal about the buy
ing Of supplies. Those who still profit by 1t will
urge that this last view of Mr.. Burr be used as
loophole through which to escape from buying
penitentiary goods. 1t might not be difficult to
assert that they fell below the standard required.
The Tribune has had occasion from time to
time to call attention to the large amount Of sup
plies In $3.50 punches which the Board OF Alder
men has authorized to be bought. 1t Is esti-

Bicycle etiquette forbids that woman,
trusting to masculine chivalry, should
take the good path when not entitled to
it, forcing others to relinquish their rights
Ia course at once illogical and unsports-
manlike. While very few men will in
sist upon their right of way, they don't
like being crowded out of it, and are
likely to think uncomplimentary things,
which are in the main justified.
The logical woman will understand
that it is neither good breeding nor COM
mon sense to make exhausting or child
ish demands upon the chivalry of her
escort. She will always manage her own
wheel, when possible; running it up steep
hills and over bad places herself; in fact
will prefer to be regarded as good COM
