WHEEL TALK.

Tecks and tax are both dreaded by
wheelmen.
II bicycles could talk they would soon
learn TO swear at some roads.
The "chutes' al Griswold Park viii be
another attraction during the bike meet
Morgan & Wright. tire manufactures.
OF Chicago, have offered a pair Of theil
celebrated NJ. & w. quick repair tires
for prize az the races this week.
Many moonlight rides were taken las,
week to Valley Center, Derby, Sullivan's
Dam, Tolervine and other places where
the roads are in fine condition.
People are requested not to drive on
the track at Griswold Park this week.
az the same has been leveled and rolled
smoothly for the races and heavy vehicles
cu5 il up so that il is impossible to ride
on it.
A large crowd of Wichita wheelmen
will attend the races at Newton and
Hutchinson next Wednesday and Thurs
day, returning with the racers for the
next meet here. They realize that ii is
not often that they get a chance 10 see
such good races.
II is the intention of the promoters of
the races 70 offer valuable added prizes
TO amateurs that break any state compe-
rition record. The professionals will
have the same chance but will get gold
prizes in event they lower any record.
This insures fast racing and probably
broken records.
"Open house will be the order for the
Se,ect knights Of Rest Cycling club
rooms during the meet. All the circuit
chasers. visiting wheelmen and press rep
resentatives are requested to make them
their headquarters. A smoker will be
given Saturday night 70 close up the
meet in an enjoyable manner.
Chairman Mott's latest ruling that all
riders in handicap events must ride 10
win" is excellent. Riders who receive
long marks frequently take no advsnt-
age Of their position az the start Of a
handicap race and in many cases lay
back to secure pace instead of going out
and hitting il up for all they are
worth. In such cases the handicappers
work goes for naught and TO al intents
and purposes such races are no better
than scratch events. This rule will be
strictly enforced at the coming race and
anyone following those tactics viii be
disqualified.

By the way, another hopeful sign is the
fact that our city government is in

The city administration and the police
administration sem TO be working in
complete harmony. More fines are be-
ing collected, more money turned into the
city treasury, more and better work is
being done upon our streets and side

Lawrence Sun: Let none suppose
that mere passing cloud, such as that
of Clevelandism. can dim American pa
triotism or destroy the American spirit.
Infamies rise and have their little day,
and are forgotten. Conspiracies that
would destroy liberty die as soon as
they are exposed. But American pa
triotism is bequeathsd from sire to son
and can never die. For this reason we
hear the voice Of Lee raised to defend
the honor Of the American flag and the
rights of American citizens, and for
this reason we hear the voice Of Ethan
Allen, descendant of noble line OF pa
triots, sending greetings to his patriotic
brethren in Cube. Clevelandism has
done its worst.

VOTE FOX SOMETHING.

To one who keeps on the track OF the
mutations and mutilations OF politics.
il is u matter of wonder how so many
parties spring into existence. A glanc'
| at our State ballot will show an arrav
O taiths that would have astonished d
| the natives twenty years ago. One eau
| find almost any kind OF political dish
on the menu card to be presented to
the voters next election. Some of them,
| to true Democrat, are hard to swallow,
but they are not obligatory. Only two
of them stand any show at all at the
polls, yet they appear as regularly as
the spring comes around.
This plethora of parties is folishness.
Every man with an idea, nowadays, or
any man who thinks he has sn idea, liz
sure to start party aud Is pretty sure
also to be able to float his stock. The
votes count for naught; they are dis
sipated at the polls and the silly free
man bides his time until the next cleo
tion. The candidates never seem to
to tire of being knocked down like so
many nine pins, Int always come mp
smiling for the next game. If the ILL.,
telligent men of these ephemeral par
ties would read the articles OF faith of
the two great parties they would he
pretty certain to find in one or the
other the fundamental principles to
which they subscribe, and could save
their vote at least a part of the time by
voting for the platform which best
suits them. The whole trouble is that
these mistaken individuals confuse the
part with the whole. The truth of this
was never better shown than in the
actually serious proposition to form q
national party with a good roads plat
form cyclists, of course), and to run
A. A. Zimmerman for president, man,
who, while entirely estimable and up
right, is about rs much fitted for presi-
dent as Corbett or Fitzsimmons.
The great issue of slavery made the
Republican party possible. The more
Catholic issue of popular rights made
and keeps the Democracy to the fore.
There is no place in politics for party
that founds itself on the sands of an in
significant issue. 1t is doomed to
sure and irrevocable defeat. 1t may
flash in the pan and illumine the hor-
zon for moment, but no report follows.
1t is wasted ammunition, and, what is
worse still it degrades the function of
party. The fanatic who performs sun
dance around tree is not going to re-
fleet credit upon his religion, neither
is a man who runs for high Office on a
foolish or insignificant issuessgolng to
impress people with the magnitude and
sincerity OF his patriotism.
The slavery issue, that which made
the Republican party great, is dead.
Tariff, it's successor, is standing with
both feet in the grave. But the Dem.
ocracy's bulwark - the peoples in
terests-lives.

1t IL with pardonable pleasure that we
refer at this time to the wonderful jump
into popular favor that THE EVENING
TRIBUNE has taken in the past three
months under the present management.
IL might be of interest to state that daily
average of 1000 votes were cast in the school
teachers contest, which closed Friday last.
The daily circulation of THE EVENING

than 1t was three months ago, when the

Twelve prominent young men OF
Farmland, Ind, who got up flake"
robbery and bloodhound chase, have
ben sued for So, 900 damages by w. A.
Mills, who claims his reputation has
been injured to that extent by the dogs
winding up their man hunt at his door.
II was supposed to be matter of sport
for those who engaged in the chase, but
Mr.. Mills does not so consider it,
Farmland having been frequently Wis.,

were in the scheme visited the residence

The boys afterward declared that the

This is but the beginning, as Mills
threatens to file other charges as soon as

men as to the course the latter took
after the supposed robbery. 1t will be
