What?"
The stranger repeated his request
There isn't any such depot in this

A sudden thought struck the policeman.

That's itp' exclaimed the stranger de-

The officer started him in the right d.

At the end of half an hour he emerged
from it and said to himself in an audible
voice:

The architecture of the period takes no
thought of the bicycle. The silent steed"
is forced to take chances in a hall, or a
cellar, or a lumber room, or rub its enam-
ell off on a building or fence, meantime
standing the chance of being appropriate
ed by some other person than the owner.
The superintendent, of the State, War
and Navy building in Washington has
made application for an appropriation for
the especial benefit of the bicycle. He
wants 5000 with which to build a suit
able house for the accommodation of the
5000 wheels owned and ridden by the en-
ployes of these three departments.

The police bicycle squad has come 10
stay in Savannah. There seems to be no
doubt about that. What is needed now
is that the squad should be properly uni
formed. The long trousers, long coat and
helmet are all right for the policeman on
foot, but they are awkward and in the
way when policeman is on wheel. A
neat comfortable uniform suited to the
wheel could be provided for probably less
than the cost of the regulation police uni
form. The innovation of bicycle uni
form would no doubt please the wheel
squad, and would attract the favorable
attention of tourists in the city.

The political wiseacres Of New York are
whispering among themselves that George
Gould has political aspirations, and de-
sires to go to the United States Senate
from New Jersey. So far as can be judy
ed, this rumor is based upon nothing more
substantial than the fact that Mr.. Gould
has recently served as a juryman for 50
a day. They say he would never have
acted in that capacity if he had not de-

Our Interests with England.
From the New Orleans Picayune Dem).

The United States and Japan have the
same interests as Great Britain in main
tanning freedom of trade in China: hence
the decision reached by the British gov
eminent will be received with satisfaction
in this country. The United States, after
Great Britain. enjoys the largest share of
Chinas trade. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of
China by Russia, France and Germany
would be prejudicial to American trade
interests; hence the people of this coun-
try viii welcome any move which will
Illustrate all attempts to absorb portions
of China. However our interests have
clashed with those of Great Britain in
the past, In the present instance they are
Identical; hence any effort to preserve free
trade in China should merit our sympa-

The newspaper advertisement was vim
dictated and it's value Illustrated In Den
yer recently. The big stores of that city
got together and, under an agreement de-
manded the newspapers that they reduce
their advertising rates 30 per cent Had
the newspapers got together and demand
ed that the stores reduce the price of the
things they had to offer for sale 80 per
cent it would have been regarded as an
outrageous proceeding; nevertheless the
principle is the same. The newspapers
very naturally and properly declined to
accede to any such proposition. They
knew the value of what they had to offer,
and asserted that they were, as a matter
of fact, selling advertising space to the big
stores too cheaply. SO far from making
the reduction demanded Of them. the pa
pers determined to advance the price Of
their space They notified the stores to
this effect, and said they could pay an in
creased rate for their advertising, or keep
out of the papers altogether 1t took the
big stores just nine days to learn that they
had made a prodigious mistake. Their
trade fell off, their clerks were idle. ard
business was fast becoming stagnant. on
the evening Of the ninth day the stores
surrendered, and signed advertising con-
tracts at considerably advanced rates.

immigration Restriction Bill.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.).

Much opposition to the bill has develop

Germans and Scandinavians. To this it is
replied that the Germans and Scandina-
vians are among the least illiterate of
our immigrants, and will not be appre-
Gladly affected. The opposition, it is as
serted is organized wholly by agents Of
the steamship companies interested in the

A Poor ArrnnEement.

The usual complaints about the mails
for towns and cities in South Georgia in
cident to what is known as the fast train"
service, are coming in with more than
their usual frequency this winter The
trouble is due to the fast trains" on the
Plant system being too slow for some con-
nections and too fast for others. This not
only affects the mails from New York and
Savannah to Townsville Albany end 9TH
err points off the main line to Jacksonville,
but also the passenger service when these
connections are missed, and that is almost
am every other day occurrence. Passen-
gers who leave Savannah at S:35 a. m. to-
day will not get to Thomasville until 2
a. m. tomorrow.
1t would seem that wise policy of the
railway company would be to build up'the
country through which its lines extend by
giving good mail and passenger service.
That would create a permanent business.
AS it is, everything has to give way to
getting a comparatively few tourists in
and out of Florida, or, perhaps more prep
erly, to a few places in that state where
the railroad company has hotels. In or
der to accomplish this, and to rush people
into and out of Florida, the passenger and
mail service of all of South Georgia is dis
arranged and irregular and constant dam
age is done to the business of every city
and town from Savannah to Townsville
and Albany. and other points reached by
the irregularly run trains of the railroad.

Congressman Dingley either does not I'M
derstand all of the reasons why the South
is able to manufacture cotton goods more
cheaply than New England can do So or
he is trying to keep those reasons conceal
ed in the interest of his remarkable tariff
law. The present trouble in the New
England mills, he said in the House on
Thursday is due to the fact that the mills
were Caught with from to Scent cot
ton" when the price of the staple declined
80 per cent. In addition to this he point
ed to the "long hours and low wages in
the South, and said that eventually the
South would come up to the Northern
standard, but temporarily the present con-
ditions gave the South the advantage"
According to this view, the long hours
and low wages" are about all the advant-
age there is IN the South. Mr. Dlngley
ignores entirely the fact that the cotton
is grown here that coal is cheaper in the
South than in the North, that climatic con-
ditions are more favorable, and that
Southern transportation and commercial
facilities are rapidly becoming about as
good as they are in the North. Before
the South can "come up to the standard"
of New England, it will have to have four
months of frozen streams and SHOWS, and
other severe climatic changes, and its cot
Ton fields will have to be removed hun
dreds of miles away from their present
situation. II may be that in time-a very
long time-labor conditions in the south
will be similar to what they are in the
North, but even then the South will have
very great advantages over New England

The retail dealers in tin and glass
measures are beginning to feel the ef-
fects OF the crusade against Illegal
measures which has been prosecuted by
Sealer Of Weights and Measures De
Fosse. The dealers find that the house,
keepers have been reading about the
large number Of short measures that
have been discovered and now 1t is al
most impossible to sell measure that
does not bear the stamp of the sealer.
Yesterday Mr.. De H'osse received q lot
of 400 tin measures varying from a gill
to gallon, and he will test them as
soon as possible. All the measures are
new and as soon as tested will be Of
fered for sale.
The board of aldermen will meet this
afternoon at 2.3o o'clock for the purpose
Of viewing the streets through which
the Consolidated street railway has Pc
| titioned for right to extend Its tracks.
The location in particular which win be
viewed will be out Southbridge street
and through Malvern road to the
AUBURN line, where the railway COM
pany wants to lay tracks to meet those
coming from Webster. The
people of the section desire the tracks
to leave Southbridge street at point
farther south, but the company will not
consider the matter. The question was
cause for much warm debate at the last
meeting of the board of aldermen, but
will likely be settled after today's trip.

mission of Bridgeport, Conn, were in
this city yesterday in search of ideas
for the construction of a new city hall
in Bridgeport. The party visited the
municipal building and were escorted
| by Alderman Brannon and Superinten-
| dent of Public Buildings Peck. The
building was explained in detail and the
inspection caused change in at least
one idea entertained. They started out
with the idea that a new building could
be built for $3.50, 600, but after the in
spection, concluded that if Bridgeport
is to have a building to meet all re-
quirements, that amount will have tc
be exceeded. The party was taken tc
the State Mutual restaurant for dinner
and during the afternoon were taken
for drive about the city.
