splendor depicting the glories of. the Coli

music, the dashing gladiators execute
the most intricate evolutions. Their sill

pyrotechnic display occurs as the entire

AN AUGUST MEASURE.

proposition to levy Ii cense tax on
bicycles in this city has been made in
the council and referred to the ordinance
and finance committees where the prob
abilities are that it will slumber indefi-
nitely, which is just what ought TO hap
pen to a measure so unnecessary and so
unjust To require owners of bicycles to
pay special tax would lie equivalent to
double taxation, since the wheel, if he
have one, is already included in the Est
of personal property of the individual
citizen. 1t would be equally as proper
TO require license tax on Ii buggy or
any othe" vehicle set apart for the special
use of the owner rs to tax II bicycle spe-
cially.
So far as the wear and tear on roads
and highways are concerned, Il Thousand
bicycles would not do as much damage
as one wheel barrow, not to mention other
modes of locomotion Again, every
blcycle-rider lis an earnest advocate of
good roads, and as a rule is willing to
contribute according to his means to-
wards the expense of maintaining them.
All who have thought upon the question
AZ all know that the great need of the
country is good roads. and.it is a we'll
known fact that every --mans.who becomes
bicycle rider is an advocate of the Same.
Wheelmen all over the United States
have organized and are organizing for the
purpose oil agitating the question of road
Improvement and in some States they are
doing great deal toward promoting that
much desired condition of the highways.
II we ever have good roads in Virginia it
will be largely due to the efforts of bicy-
clists in that direction, hence the true
policy is not co prosecute them by special
taxation, but.to let them alone, except to
promote and encourage the use OF the
wheel, us time will prove that heelmen
are the true friends of all who drive We.

RESIGNATION DENIED.

Havana, Aug. l6.-Rumors which have
teen put in circulation, TO the eife ct that
Captain General Weyler had forwarded
his resignation to Madrid, are officially
denied here. The report that Evangelina
Cisneros niece of President Cisneros of
the provisional government. was SEN
fenced To twenty years at the penal col
ohy on the coast of Northern Africa, is
untrue. The telegram sent from here
containing this statement is probably
based upon the fact that Evangelina

prisoned in Havana, has been banished

few public men who had been consistent
take. Later .on, when the convention
with unanimous voice declared that Sen
ator Daniel must be his own successor.
1t seemed that he had doomed up into a
great national character, with many wears
yet of honor and usefulness before him.
Few men in public life have received
such fattering endc rsement from the
people of their own free will, and it must
be confessed when this endorsement was
given that no man in the country was
NAL of work and fitness than he.
In antagohizing the plan for selecting
United States Senators by primary cleo
tions it seemed to many who have
watched his career with interest Ind con-
fidence that he .was making serious
mistake, and time may..yet show that he
then passed the zenith of his political
glory and that henceforth his career may
be marked by sure and steady decline
of the power which he has so long and SO
hearts of the masses of the Democratic
party. The primary system of selecting
Senators, so ably advocated by Congress
man Jones, of TIE First district, and rec
commended to the consideration of the
convention by he-committee on resolu-
tons, is so purely Democratic in it's
methods and appeals SO strongly to the
Judgment of true Democrats jail over the
State that sooner or later it will override
all OPPOSITE On and become the accepted
method Of the Virginia Democracy in
making known its choice for National
Senator'S.
That Senator Daniel, Democrat
among Democrats, should oppose meas
ure which embodies in Itself the true
principles of Democracy, was a great sur
prise to many of his fiiends and that he
was unable to present single reason or
line of argument in defense of. the posi-
ton which he assumed must now in the
calm reason of sober afterthought be
very humiliating to him as we'll as to
those who in an apparently semi-hypnotic
state followed his lea dership in OPPOSE
tion to such a Democratic measure. The
course of Congressman Jones in this mat
ter was so different from that pursued by
the distinguished Senator, and so much
more in accord with the real wishes of the
great majority of the party, as to suggest
to the mind that in the decline of one of
Virginia's sons another is rising, who is
desti"ed yet to occupy large place in
the esteem and confidence of the people.
The question is up and will not down.
The people have taken hold of it, and are
pleased with che idea it presents and the
suggestions which it involves. 1t meets
long felt want in the matter of select
ing United States Senators, in minimizing
the power of machine politics., and re-
moving to large extent the chances for
bribery and corruption, and, when it
again comes before Democratic assem-
bly,, the protests of hundred Daniels
will not avail.
