A Story of NIillais.

Millais had a favorite story of pretty
but rather gushing young woman who sat
next to him at dinner, but had not caught
bis name, and to make conversation said:
81 suppose you've been to the Academy?
Did you notice the Millais? And didn {
you think they We're awful daubs?" The
amused smiles of those around the fair
critic showed her that she had made a
break of some kind and she vainly be-
sought her companion TO tell her what it
was Finally, when the dessert came, 81
filed up her glass with champagne" said
the artht, land told her to gulp it down
very quickly when l counted three. She
obeyed without protest, and l took the OPP
portunity when she couldn't speak to say:
We'll, am Millais. But let S be friends. u

BICYCLE BAGGAGE BILL.
Committee on Railroads will Give
a Hearing Wednesday.
Spzcidif j The ,Lerscn Cff1i Neans

TRENTON, Feb. /, 1S97.-The Gledhill
Bicycle Baggage Bill, now in the hands
of the Committee on Railroads and Canals
is a measure which Chief Consul Kireker
says. SHOULD be passed, as it is a bill
which simply calls for the rights of
wheelmen. The artist, the fisherman and
the hunter can carry their easels, fish
ing outfit and guns as baggage, and why
should the wheelmen she compelled to
pay for his wheel? A wheeIman in trav-
elling. from Suffern to New York can
have his wheel carried free of charge over
the Erie road because the New York law
says the railroad must carry it as bag
gage, but if the same man Should check
the same wheel to Jersey City he would
be compelled to pay for the transporter
ton of the bicycle. If the New York
Legislature can pass this bill is there any
reason why New Jersey cannot? The
vote in the saddle, as the Newark
Evening News calls it. Isl a large one
and increasing month by month, and it
begins to look now as if the power They
felt very effectively"
The League is out in earnest and will
keep at the legislature until this measure
is passed. There are now over lOl 0nj
wheelmen In New Jersey who are inter-
ested in this bill, and, as the thief Con-
sui says
you may beat the bill, hut you can,
beat US, as we intend to keep this up
If It takes ten years to pass it" We'd
committee above named, and a very large
number of the League will 90 to Trenton
and urge upon the legislators the i'm
pOrtance of passing this MEASURE.

TheHEvenin2 Journals on the Board

The Evening Journals" caustic re-
marks on the Board of Trade Tailors of

gard it as the %congenial organ of their

sure, the Grand High Humbug of all. the

tators to shed tears of rage.
What saddens the Board of Trade, how
ever, affords undying amusement to the
general public. When the Journal an
nounces that the Board is not numerically
strong enough to nave any weight n
that fiction is blended with it's fact to an
unfortunate degree, the plain, ordinary
citizen laughs gleefully.
It is a cruel world, and when one crank

on another. the lot of the crank is not a
happy one.

Since the election of Major Mckinley,
the Republican majority in Congress has
not taken the slightest step towards re-
forming the deadly evils of our currency
system.
1t has, however, devoted much atten-
ton to the tariff, which, it claims, mus
be amended so as to afford the Infant
industries more protection.
The best commentary we can think of
on its conduct is to be found in the state
ments regarding foreign trade in r. G.
Dun & Co.'S weekly Review of Trade
issued on Saturday. There we find the
following
Men talked of a possible drain of gold
a month ago, but January has passed
and the liquidation of foreign indebted
ness to this country seems farther OIL
thar ever. Merchandise exports, from
New York in January lave been about
4 per cent. larger than last year and i'm
ports Is per cent. smaller than last year,
when the excess of exports was over
s1S,oOo.o GOO, while cotton exports from otneI
has not diminished, but has increased the
current balance due this country.
But, of course. the menace of importa-
ton keeps the unprotected down to a
fair margin of profit, and he does not
like that. That it does not deprive him
of a fair profit is a~bundantly proven by
the 1owness of the importations, for if it
did, he would nave to stop and the for
eigners would own the market.

West Shore Railroad car shops from
Frankfort. N. Y. to West Albany.
The shops were located at Frankfort
twelve years ago, when the railroad vas
first opened for traffic. The town raised
$1,000 to induce the company to locate
there. The shops brought nearly three
hundred families to the place, and nearly
all of these bought lots and built houses.
Now. the shops are suddenly closed and
the three hundred families are left with
out work and without bread. If they
stay where they are, they must starve.
II they so. they must abandon the saw
ings of their lives. for their homes are
unstable.
So cruel, SO vile a breach of faith is
seldom laid at the door, even of a rail-
road corporation. 1t is an act of the kind
that makes socialists and anarchists. 1t
and riots in which the companies lose
more in a few weeks than it would cost
them to keep faith for a century.
There should be a law to compel a cor
poration which makes a violent change
OF this kind to compensate every person
injured by it to the last dollar. Until
there is such legislation. there can never
be content.
Here is a theme for DIR. Rainsford. Let
him put it in contrast with the Bradley
Martin ball.

Mayor Wanser, of Jersey. City, in q

Mayor Seymour of Newark in criticism
of the existing municipal conditions IN
