PHILADELPHIA, May 15.-Out-of-
town league members will be greatly
interested in the personnel Of the hotel
and accommodation committee, which
was appointed at the meeting of the
executive committee. At. the head Of
1t is w. P. Street. captain of the Phila-
delphia Bicycle club, oone "of the Oldest
Of old-timers and identifled with every
movement in the interest Of local cy-
cling for the past fifteen years. Mr..
Street is also prominently identified
with the management Of the Philadel-
phia Cycle and Field club. His staff
of assistants will be G.. B.. Halberstadt,
Of the Columbia Cyclers; o. P. Tatum,
president Of the Tioga Cycling club; ].
A. Templeton, keystone Wheelmen: C.
A. Dillan, South End Wheelmen; John
Clifton, WissahickoD Wheelmen, and
George H. Lokes, of the Cycling Coun-
try club.
This committee will have charge of
the work Of securing accommodations
and assigning quarters to the thou
sands of visitors who will come to Phil
adelphia next August. This will be no
sinecure, as there is already a big
batch of applications waiting for &C.
ton, and the list Is being added to
daily.
Another committee which has no easy
task before it was also appointed-that
having in charge the preparation of
the official souvenir programme of the
meet D. r. Perkenpine, who was Sc
lected as chairman, is secretary Of the
Associated Cycling clubs, an old-time
member Of the Oxford Wheelmen, and
a hustler from the word 60" In pre-
pairing the souvenir, which will be the
finest ever issued in connection with
a national meet, he will have the as
sistance of F. r. Torkington, of the
Pennsylvania Bicycle club; Fred Nell
son, one of the stand-bys of the Quaker
City Wheelmen and business manager

so many bona fide. hustling bicycle
clubs. Neither in Louisville, Asbury
Park nor Denver-in Chicago even
when the national meets were held In
those cities-was there anywhere near
the number Of cycling organizations
that are now In this city. Louisville
could boast Of but half dozen clubs
last year; Asbury Park Of even less in
30. and so on. Philadelphia's clubs
are all active organizations, with men,
bership ranging from 30 to $50, the lat
ter the total OF the Century Wheel
men. probably the largest league club
In the country. There are thirty-fve
or forty Of these clubs, with member
ship Of upwards of 100, and the total
Of attached" wheelmen will reach con-
siderably over 10000.
Many Of these clubs are making prep
arations to entertain clubs and parties
from other cities-a sort Of combina-
ton chaperonage, as it were. They will
meet their guests at the depots, and

QUININE.

II will be remembered that the duty of
20 per cent upon quinine was removed
in July 1879 and it will also beremember-
ed that, during the following decade. the
prices of this article steadily declined
a fact that was hailed by the free trad
ers and utilized by the free trade press
and speakers as evidence of the benefits
OF The free trade policy. Nothing could
be further from the fact. 1t certainly
u be admitted that the removal of
the tariff OF 20 per cent upon the impor-
tations of ~quinine in this country had
no effect upon the prices OF this article
in the price Of this article on the Cont
nent Is an absolute answer to the free
traders in claiming that the removal of
the duty was the cause OF the reduction
in the prices in the United States.
The simple facts are these: QuiniIe
is produced from cinchona bark, and I'M
til 1870 il was produced from the wild
bark mostly gathered in South America.
Shortly previous to this time, the Eng
fish and Dutch had introduced the Guilt
walton of cinchona bark, notably in Cey-
lon, by the English; and in Java, by the
Dutch. A sample package OF cinchona
bark Of 90 ounces was exported from the
East midas in 1869, and last year the
business had grown and the cultivated
cinchona bark had reached the enormous
amount of 1000. 900 pounds. This Is
the u Of the reduction in prices.
Many nations, including France, Italy
and Austria-Hungary have an import
duty upon quinine, but the United States
admits the article free OF duty. Yet
we are called an Interpretation ma
ton. Free trade in quinine has simply
allowed the producers in England,
France. Germany and Italy to Absorb
the American market. to lessen Ameri-
can employment and to reduce the num-
Der Of manufactures in this industry
from five to three.-Economist.

FEW FACTS.

To read the TRADES OF the Denver
News and the Laramie Boomerang
against the present city officials one not
knowing The facts would conclude that
tney YER = band OF cut-throats who
piliaged and plundered the city till
u Wa DanakFupt and the people pauper-
'sed.
what = the truth? Since the demo-
. were turned out OF Office In this
city ~ y majority that was ut once de-
casive ana overwhelming, the moral tone
q the city has been improved, the OK
psoses gradually reduced till now, under
tho new Aw passed by the last republi-
can legislature they will be at a minim-
ON, and peacs and good order has been
maintained. Gambling and kindred
vices have been held in check and the
criminal courts have had little work 20
perform. In spite Of the fact hat the
blight OF democracy caused a decline in
values OF more than 40 per cent in city
valuations, the republican city officials
have beeo practicing economy to such
m extsot that the rate Of taxation has
not beeu increased This alone meant
. cs,rtailme0t Of 40 per cent in the ex-
psosss of the city.
Tho people OF Laramie have not for
gotten the hast democratic administra-
ton in Laramie, when the treasury was
robbed Il $4,000 and the council had
besn "a crtmlnally negligent in the per-
Torrance q it, duties that It was deemed
wise to compromise for half the cum.
That largo los to the city has caused
m additional burden Of taxation to meet
the interest charge upon the increased
debt, but tho republicans have borne 1t
beuvoay and the rate OF taxation has not
ben ~ heavy ~ under the democratic
regime.
No honest man can point to the rec
ord oe the republican council during It's
poRR and ~ that q single dollar has
ben miappru1riated or used in an ex-
t-rsyaDane mAnnsr. The city has been
placsd upon = cash basis. thus saving 10
pr osot upon every expenditure. and the
public debt. largely created through
the Almost criminal mismanagement OF
the democsats. has been bonded and the
interest chasge thereby greatly reduced.
