The big increase in the coal tar
iff will come in midsummer, when
it will not be severely felt. The
pinch will come with the chilly
blasts of winter, when the increase
in the wooden blanket tax, also,
will be keenly felt. 1t all goes to
show how deep the affection of the
grand old party of high moral ideas
and higher taxes is for the poor
man.
Marshall Field, leading Re
publican and business man of
Chicago, sizes up the Dingley bill
as follows: cit is the worst
tariff bill I ever saw, not only as
regards the rates of duties imposed
but the complicated and ambigu-

One fool makes many, and the

Until free silver-the great issue

USUAL PROTEST Is MADE.
Harriet Race of United Whee!me en-
Won by John b. Todd.

John B. Todd the Paegel ten-mile road
race given by the United Wheelmen of Min
neapolis, at Lake Harriet yesterday afternoon,
covering the distance in 27:27.
The race was one open only to members
OF the club, and there were twelve starters.
Considerable interest was manifested in the
event several hundred people had gathered
at the lake and waited patiently in the swell
tering sun for the start. to be made. 1t
had previously been decided to start the race
at 4:30, but this was unknown to many of
those gathered.
The weather was not as favorable to a
bicycle race that during the last race.
The sun was too hot, and a strong breeze
blew across the lake, making time necessarily
slow on the home stretch.
The course was three and a half times
around the lake. Although there were Is
starters, but II responded to the call OF
time, when Starter Wirtensohn called ready.
A good start made and the bunch
came down the new cycle path in regal style.
despite the wind. The pace proved too warm
for several, and by the time one and half
lap had been made, there were but five left
TO fight the race out. These were John B.
Todd, H. c. Williams. A. W. Calender, Guy
Webb and B. c. Bunker. They alternated in
setting the pace, and made 1t interesting
an event as any race given around the lake.
There were no misunderstanding at the f1n-
ism, and a pretty sprint was INDUCED in by
the five leaders. 1t was anybody's race up
to the last few yards. when it closed down
to Todd and Bunker. Todd only won by half
a wheel.
Immediately following the race. William
Price, who together with three others. had a
fall on the second lap, entered a protest
against Todd. He stated that Todd had fouled
him at the time. He claimed that at the time
the accident occurred. Todd was holding the
path at the left. Price a little behind
and tapping his wheel. Without warning,
Price claims, Todd shot out in the road there
by throwing him. 1t is not likely, however,
that the protest will stand, as several of the
riders state that the road was bad at this
place, and that that was the only reason for
Tedd riding the way he did
Todd will, at the next meeting of the club
be presented with the Paegel gold and silver
medal and will be entitled to wear it for a
year, at which time he will again have to de-
fend it.

minnesota Cricket Club Defeats the
: Mill City Team.

II IN beautiful weather yesterday the Mime
sofa Cricket club played their third game
Wfth Minneapolis, coming out yictors by the
handsome margin of 1G8 runs and two wick
cts to spare. The Minnesotas have probably
about the best team they could put in the
field, whereas the Minneapolis team were
short one or two Of their best men Neverthe-
less Goodwin, Nolan, Nate and Corbett
played an uphill game in splendid style
Goodwin bowled throughout the Minnesota $
innings without a change, besides scoring q
runs, with scarcely fault. This being the
rubber the Minnesotas were on their met
tie. as shown by the scores of Sisson. TAYLOR.

innings he has ever played his driving being
hard and clean throughout. Waters also de-
lighted the oniookers, considering 1t was the
first time he has been seen on the ground
this year.
Saulez's and Macgregor's Is were made
almost without a fault. Vaughan, the CAP
tain, did not seem quite up to his usual
form in batting. making only 49, whereas the
club always expects quite substantial score
from him, but in the bowling department he
more than held his own, having the splendid
average Of wickets for runs. Saulez run,
ming him close by for 49, Jaffray and
Napier seemed to be in hard luck bowling
about the same number of balls but ONLY
taking wicket between them.

of the concerted labors and eloquence
of the visiting L. A. w. officials, who
spent the first of the week in the Twin
Cities, and who came to consult with
the local member of the national
transportation committee Of the L. A.
w, A B. Ovitt, who has been expend-
ing a very great amount Of time and
energy in the effort to secure for West
= ern cyclists the advantag es which
have been enjoyed for some time past
by Eastern wheelmen in the matter Of
Transporting wheels.
You see it is this way" said Mr.
Ovitt "a cyclist taking long distance
trips will strike here and there a patch
of very bad sand, and the chances are
that he will meet a local Wheelman, or
other native, who will inform him that
yellow sand and mud will clog the
wheel. The cyclist will naturally take
the train for the distance, and must
pay for transportation of his wheel as
we'll as his own, and these little rides
occur often in taking interstate trips or
other very long rides. We hope to
bring the rest Of the roads to see the
injustice Of charging wheelman for
carrying his wheel, while his seatmate
may have a large trunk and two or
three valises, which are carried free of
charge, and which are much more diff
fiCuIt to handle"
The Great Northern carries wheels
free to Minnetonka, but not on other
branches of the line.

out Summit to Lexington and down

Como park, the visitors expressing
themselves as captivated by the scenery
around that little resort. They, in
kindness TO their new Minneapolis
friends, refrained from making any
comparisons in the wheeling facilities
of the Twin Cities, but they did express
themselves as surprised ut the enter
prise displayed by our Wheelnen in
building paths, and in raising funds for
