A REGuMExTAL BICYCLE CORPS.
One May he Formed sOon-A Grand
Military Ball TO lie Given.

An effort is being made to form a
bicycle corps IN connection with the First
Regiment. Colonel Jones. commandant,
will have a conference with the members
of the Independent Cycle Club to-mor-
row night with a view to enlisting their
services In the accomplishment OF this
purpose. Tho idea is not a new one, and
the subject has been under discussion for
some considerable time. 1t seems more
than probable that the proposition to be
submitted to the club will be satisfac-
tory. and that this important adjunct TO
the military service Of the city and State
will be made in the near future.
Arrangements are being made for n
military ball, 10 DO conducted upon a
large scale, at the Regimental Armory on
November LIST. 1t will be given by the
members of the regiment who will invite
ali the military organizations OF the city
to attend, together with the Petersburg
Grays, the Suffolk Light Infantry, and
the Danville Blues. The Regimental band
will be pressed into service, and the
Armory viii be gayly decked for the oc-
casion. Full-dress uniforms will be worn
by the military, and civilians who are
invited will be expected TO wear dress
suits.
The Walker Light Guard did not hold
their annual target practice at Chimbo-
razo Park, as arranged, owing to the in
clemency of the weather.

Objections to the Fish Law.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The criticisms of the fish law are not
made so much on the ground that it affords
more protection to carp than game fish,
but chiefly from the fact that it is purely
class legislation. The law was pushed and
passed wholly in the interest of the rod and
reel fraternity, an organization of sports
men-men who care but little for stocking
the streams with fish, except so far it
goes in giving them a good time in their
outings. If the law had been made for the
purpose of food supply the case would be
quite different. Or if the sportsmen had
been honest and fair enough to have shared
the pleasures of piscatorial sports with the
others by asking for the prohibition of the
rod and reel fishing for a few weeks dur
ing the spawning and nesting season there
would, probably have been but little pro-
test AS it is, the farmers, land owners ana
others who unable to own a costly out
fit of rods, reels and rubber boots, etc, and
who have not the time for fancy fishing,
but who content with a. set line, trot
line, or even occasionally using a seine on
their own premises, are going to do all they
can to make the law OdiOuS If the nSn
commissioners persist in trying to enforce
the law by prosecutions, which are regard
ed more like prosecutions, and by the selz-
and destruction of personal property
fishing outfits not in harmony with the
law-the more indignant and determined
the opposition will become and the more
dynamite will be used. The cOnhScatiOn of
personal property, even under the most fa-
vorable circumstances, is a very tender
matter and much more so under a law that
apparently has been enacted for the benent
of few. The people in this country be-
lieve in fair play and equity, and. where a
bad and an unjust law is enacted 1t doesn't
take public sentiment long to determine
which way the wind blows. When. as. the
Journal says. cit looks little as If there
were feeling in many localities that the
present law is framed in the interest of the
city sportsmen, and as if this feeling were
Ia king the form of general hostility to the
law and causing an increase of dynamiting,"
it has given the facts in the case The
"Sweeneyites' have carried the matter
little too far, and q little less disposition on
their part now to enforce the law under
the present status of things may in the flu
ture prove to be for the best at least until
such time as the law may be amended and
made less severe. mo.

The Need OF IA System TO secure Safe
ty for Small Savings.
Chicago Bonds and Mortgages

Among all the proposed new schemes
that arise from year to year upon the
seInbllng of Congress, none seems so pro-
ililc OF good TO the masses in general as
the postal savings bank. Ii is q burning
disgrace to our country that no means
small means may securely lay by his earn
ings for rainy day. In England France
and Germany postal savings banks have
been in successful existence for many
years; but in the United States the man of
sman savings has been left TO entrust his
savings TO such wretched institutions as al
most monthly scandaliZe our communities
ment on the part Of their officers and man
ayers There is no doubt that some syS-
tenn which will result in entire security to
savings Is desirable, and it would seem
that the pOstOfhce, by reason of its close
contact with the people, is peculiarly fitted
TO manage this system. No system can be
designed that can reach the people in the
outlying villages and rural districts except
through the pOstOfiice and ii is manifest
that If any uniform system of savings is to
be instituted il must be done through Uncle
Sam. Then, too aside from the purely
business advantage possessed by the gov
eminent in this matter 1t is peculiarly fit
ting and proper that the government should
stand at the head IN encouraging frugality
and saving on the part OF its citizen. The
citizen who holds a savings certificate
against his government is a better citizen
fer the possession of such certificate. He
realizes that he TO the extent of his hold
ing has a monetary interest in his govern
ment. II enables him 10 hold up his head
and speak Of "our government" as a tam
gfble factor in his LIES work TO which he
rs deVotediy attached and for which he viii
offer up his life when called upon to per-
form the greatest duty OF patriot.
