The Aldrich-JOnes Combination.


when 1t was announced a short time ago
that Senator Aldrtch was on the eve of
returning to Washington. The Star ex-
pressed regret at the news. 1t pointed
out that his purpose was to take q hand in
the conference between the two houses
OF Congress on the tariff bill. and il ex-
pressed the opinion that his influence
would make only for trouble. This opin-
Ion Is now confirmed by the facts. Mr..
Aldr1ch Is now leading the Senate con-
ferees. and is at the bottom therefore Of
the controversy which has arisen over the
sugar rates.
Why should the Senate conferees suffer
themselves to be led by Mr.. Aldrich? Has
he not already sufficiently shown the hand
OF marplot in this tariff business? Were
not his associates on the subcommittee of
the finance committee forced to abandon
much of the work Of amending the Dingley
bill which had been done under his direc-
ton? Is any of 1t worthy of being re-
tanned?
Mr.. Aldrich principally rely for support
In fixing upon the bill a schedule favora-
BILE to the Sugar Trust? Mr.. Jones of
Nevada. a populist and free silver cham
pion. who assisted last year in the effort
to overthrow the republican party, is pre-
pairing to assist in similar effort next
year and in 1900. Do republican Senators
relish the idea of having Sugar Trust
sugar schedule Incorporated into their
tariff bill by this combination of reckless
republicanism and openly antagonistic pop
ulism?

Humpbncked Bicycle Riders.

There are several good points among the
new bicycle regulations proposed the other
day by the local wheelmen to the Commits
sioners. and it would perhaps be In the
interest of fair dealing to grant some of
the requests thus made. For instance. the
suggested rule of the road which tends to
reduce the number of accidents by estab-
fishing Better understanding among the
users of the streets, might well be adopted
1t Is well to restrict the license with which
some careless drivers of all sorts of
vehicles cut corners and crowd wheelmen
and pedestrians to the curb. These prac-
uces are dangerous and unjust, and should
be regulated as far as possible The sue-
gestion as to the strewing of glass in the
streets is forceful and should result In the
exercise of greater vigilance by the police
in seeking to detect the offenders Broken
glass is dangerous not only to wheelmen.
whose property only suffers when coming
into contact with 1t. but to many others
for the streets are used frequently in sum-
mer by barefooted children, to whom bad
cuts may be serious. Horse owners, too
appreciate the necessity for an enforcement
of the law in this respect. The wheelmen
commercially admit the need of restricting
the number OF persons who shall be al
lowed to ride abreast on the streets
But there can be no increase in the
speed limits at street intersections If the
public safety is to be secured. 1t is i'm
material, as alleged. that the rapId-transit
street cars commonly violate the regula-
tons in this respect. One nuisance does
not warrant another. Too much care can
not be used at corners. and 1t Is no
material hardship for riders and drivers to
slow down at such points from a ten or
twelve-mile gait to six. Commissioner
Black hit the nail exactly on the head
when he asserted that. in his opinion, most
of the bicycle accidents are due to inatten-
ton on the part Of the riders, many of
whom persist in the idiotic fashion of bend
ing far over the handle-bars in supposed
imitation OF the racers. 1t has been demon

Frank Mcl.nughlin.

Frank Mclaughlin. publisher of tho
Philadelphia Times, who died yesterday,
was one of the notable figures in American
journalism. He did not rise to great prom
inence outside of his own work for the rea-
son that he possessed no political ambi-
tons. seeking only to produce daily news
paper that would compare with any in the
world. The result of this assiduous devo-
ton to his own line was that the Times has
been acknowledged to be one of the hand
soonest journals in America, from every
standpoint. Mr.. McLaughlin's association
with Mr.. Mcclure as editor made a strong
combination, and one that wrought for the
best interests of Philadelphia at all times.
MIR. McLaughlin's personal character was
far above reproach, and his kindly nature,
though yelled by a somewhat cynical man.

with whom ne came into close contact. In
addition to his intimate knowledge of the
printers art. he possessed. a keen sense of
news values. and his judgment in this re-
gard was confidently relied upon by his
editorial associates.

strated many times that this position is
not only unheaIthful, but that 1t detracts
from the actual force of the rider 1t car
ries his eyes too far below the horizontal
line. and forces him to assume a strained
and unnatural position when he under
takes to look ahead for guiding. The
wheelman must assume the greater part
of the burden of avoiding collisions, having
the lighter vehicle. and being better able
to avoid obstacles. and to this end he must
not handicap himself by approximating the
position Of the enthropoid ape he SO often
greatly resembles. 1t may become neces-
sary for the Commissioners, in their efforts
to secure safer streets. to devise a regula-
ton affecting the relative positions Of ham
dle-bar and saddle. While this Is largely a
personal matter, 1t bears heavily upon the
security of the general public. 1t is safe
to assume that the unknown wheelman
who ran into a small boy the other evening
and broke the little fellows arm was fol-
lower of the hump backed school Of riderf,
and that the accident was caused by his
inattention to the business before him.

five, while no democrat was more unsparing
In his criticism of the measure than Were
Mr. Teller, Mr.. Cannon, and Mr.. Pettigrew,
all of whom last year bolted Mr.. Mckinley
for the free silver nominee. So that when
Mr.. Carlisle declares that the republicans
of the Senate in preparing and passing
their tariff bill had the active cooperation
and support of many of the most able and
influential members of the free silver party
in Congress" he utterly ignores the record.
The free silver men, very far from cutting
figure In support of the bill. led in the
fight against It, and supplied all but three
of the twenty-eight votes recorded against
it. This new tariff bill Is the work of sound
money men.
Equally unfortunate was AR. Carlisle in
this statement:
Protection and free coinage are twin
heresies. and the man who believes In one
Is logically bound to believe in the other"
Very far from this being true, protection
and sound money have always gone to-
gether. The republican party has always
stood for both. When Mr. Carlisle, a free
trader, was speaking and voting for free
coinage-which was In the days before he
had attained his stature as a statesman
John Sherman, a protectionist, then Secre-
tary of the Treasury. was bringing about
the resumption of specie payments Mr.
Carlisle has wisely shifted his ground from
Tree silver to sound money but Mr. Sher-
man still stands where he then stood, in
favor OF both protection and sound money
But these little partisan touches aside

portance. and it will strengthen the cause
OF sound money in every part of the coun-
try.

however, that any Of the references to the
subject were happily conceived. Some of
them were positively unfortunate. The
purpose all through was to connect pro-
lection with free silver. and to make the
one policy bear responsibility for the other.
For instance. Mr.. Carlisle. in his address as
permanent chairman, In referring TO the
tariff bill, said:
In this work of spoliation the protec-
tonists have had not only the sympath
but the active cooperation and support of

From the New York Journal

Thanks to the Roman virtue and the
sound political sense of Speaker Reed, we
are told. the House tariff conferees are de-
termined to stick to the House rates on the
sugar schedule. They had intended to sur
render to the insistence of the senatorial
trust attorneys, headed by Jones Of Nevada
and Aldrich but the indiscreet boom in
Sugar stock in the New York market
alarmed the Speaker who had also begun
to hear from the country. The fact that
in a time of deadly depression such a pop
ular security as the stock Of the Sugar
Trust had jumped to 1875 In consequence of
fayors promised from Washington would
be embarrassing to explain to constituents
on the stump.

From the New York Times.


When the Dfngley bill went to the Senate
Sugar certificates were selling at 115.
When the bill came out of the republican
Senate caucus they were selling at l25.
When the bill went into the hands of the
conference committees Sugar certificates
were selling at 100
Since the bill has been in conference the
price has advanced to 137 rs.
Any one who bought the stock before the
bill went into the caucus and sold yester-
day, cleared about $23 on every share. If
