At War with the L. A. w.

From all accounts the League of
American Wheelmer is in danger of
becoming of little Importance in the
matter of bicycle racing in the future.
For some time past the League of
American Wheelmer seems 10 have en-
tertained the idea that racing wheel
mer should be governed after the man
ner of the unruly base ball players
who is constantly confronted by fines.
blacklists and other inventions calcu-
lated to terrorize him into a state of
abiect subsection. During the past
season notices of the suspension" of
this or that rider of prominence has
try who labored under the idea that
the rider had beer guilty of some crime
that merited severe punishment in
stead of dsobeying, perhaps, one OF
the trivial rules of the great League
of American Wheelmen. This thing
has been carried on to such an extent
that there was scarcely a rider of
prominence on the track who was not
under some sort of ban imposed by the
league. But the worm has finally
turned. Some of the foremost riders
have bolted and have formed rival
association which already includes the
champions, and future events under
auspices of the League of American
Wheelmen will probably be as tame as
the fruit counter of an agricultural
show.
While there may be two sides to the
bicycle controversy, the sympathy Of
the public will doubtless remain to a
great extent with the riders. There is
something distasteful to the average
American in systems that produce
conditions of slavery on any class, and
the blacklisting foolisnness on part of
base ball associations and bicycle
leagues has invariably been followed
by disastrous results.

The New York Democrats.

The outlined policy of the New York
Democrats does not surprise many who
have kept informed OF the trend Of
political events in the Empire state.
They have followed the example Of
Pennsylvania in going into battle with
as little that will commit them as pos
sible. Aside from giving the usual growl
against the administration and pro-
Tossing to find the war a cause for
grievance, they have ignored all but
the local issues From the beginning
to the end the Democrats of promi-
nence were kept In the background at
the Syracuse convention and no a.
tempt was made to draft a platform
that would mean anything. AS in the
Keystone state the "and others" and

heads in the campaign that can have
but one ending-overwhe defeat
at the coming election.
AS an exchange remarks: New York
is the foremost state of the Union. 1t
Is state which should bring some able
men TO the front. 1t is state Whlch
should set the pace for other less pre-
tentious members of the Union. But
1t does not in its Democratic conven-
ton. Men who are comparatively un-
heard of are put In the conspicuous
places, and no effort is made to nomi-
nate candidates who would command
hearty public sympathy, or to draft a
platform timely, progressive and Wig
orous. The work of the Syracuse con-
vention was apologetic and defensive
all the way through, with nothing to
arouse enthusiasm. Still, there is not
much that can be said just now that Is
Democratic in principle that could
arouse much enthusiasm, so perhaps,
they did the best thing possible.

A PARABLE.

The chcese-mites asked how the cheese

And warmly debated the matter;
Tho Orthodox said that II camc from tho

And tho Heretics said from the platter.

And hear they are arguing II now;
But OF all the choice spirits who lived in

Not one OF them thought of a COW.

Catching Smelts.

Down in Maine in catching smelts
IN winter the fishermen build shanties
on the ice over good fishing grounds
and cut a hole through the ice and
make trap door in the floor of tie
shanty to fish through. The shanty s
built upon timbers laid on the ice, and
first thing the fishermen do when they
get the building is to pour water over
these timbers. SO as to freeze them down
to the ice; otherwise when a wind
sprang up it might blow the shanty
along on the ice on these timbers,
which would thus become practically
sort of sled runners. They have a
stove in the shanty for greater COM
fort, and when they are not fishing
they close the trap door and thus have
an unbroken floor. Each man uses two
lines in fishing. anC as fast as he hauls
the fish up he puts them in box, the
boxes used being made of various sizes,
each containing a specified number of
pounds of fish. When he has box
packed full he sets out on the ice and
pours water in it. The fish are frozen
solid in the boxes. and in this condi-
tion they are shipped to market.-N.

THE DELIGHTFUL TROLLEY.
1t Is Exhilarating to Ride on Hut On'
certain in Starting and
stopping.

Perhaps the only thing (beside, OF
eourse, our urcommonmortality) which we
have in common with the excursionists
Is our love of the trolley line. After
year of fervent opposition and protest,
the whole community, whether of sum-
mer or winter folks, now gladly ac-
cepts the trolley, and the grandest cot
tager and the lowliest hotel-dweller
meet in a grateful appreciation OF its
beauty and comfort.
Some pass a great part Of every
afternoon on the trolley, and one lady
has achieved celebrity by spending four
dollars week in trolley rides. These
are seldom without their excitements,
and the exhilaration is varied with n
occasional apprehension when the car
pitches down a sharp incline, and twists
almost at right angles on a sud
den curve at the bottom without slack
ing its speed. A lady who ventured an
appeal to the conductor at one OF these
crises was comforted, and at the same
time taught her place, by his reply:
"That motorman's life, ma'am, is just
us precious to him as what yours is to
you"
She had, perhaps, really ventured too
far, for ordinarily the employees of the
trolley seldom find occasion to use so
much severity with their passengers.
They look after their comfort as far
as possible, and seek even to anticipate
their wants in unexpected cases, if
may believe a story which was told by
a lady witness. She had long expected
to see some one thrown out of the
open car at one of the sharp curves,
and one day she actually saw woman
hurled from her seat into the road.
Luckily the woman alighted on her
feet. and stood looking round in daze.
.'Ohi ohi" said another woman in
the seat behind. 'she's left her umbrel-
la!"
The conductor promptly threw it out
to her.
"Why," demanded the first witness.
"did that lady wish to get out here?"
The conductor hesitated before ae
ierked the bell-pull to go on. Then he
said: "Well, I don't know. But she'll
want her umbrella, nyway."-William
D. Howells. in Atlantic.

The amount of money owed by Amer
leans to European creditors equals the
gold money of the world at least one
and one-half times. Whenever Europe
wants gold she can draw it from the
United States by throwing upon our
markets some of the state, city, rail-
road or other bonds that she holds.
The gold that is in the United States is,
here on the sufferance of our foreign
creditors. In 1898, when the Roths-
childs wanted our gold, they sent over
American securities and sold them and
took the gold. Cleveland bought the
gold back with bonds. He sold them
the last batch of bonds for $40, ,0O0, 200
less than they were worth on the mar
ket at the time; in return for which
they agreed not to raid the treasury
again for period of eight months.
Thus it will be seen that we are not
ON gold basis. We have no gold that
is our own. The gold standard talked
about by Americans is a borrowed
standard that can only be maintained
by continuing to borrow. What would
have happened to us in 1893 If our pa
per money had consisted of bank notes
redeemable in gold and secured by bank
assets ?-SiIver Knight-Watchman.
