NO WHEEL TAX FUND.
Chicago Cannot Raise Money by Lii
censing Bicyclers.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25-Bicyclists inter-
ested in the decision Of the court in the APP
peal of the city of Chicago against Orrin
c. Collins and 375 other appellees, in which
it finds the wheel tax fund.- ordinance in
Chicago to be invalid The apDellees filed
a bill in the Circuit Court of Cook county
to enjoin the city from enforcing the ordi-
nance which provided that all vehicles used
upon the streets of the city. including those
for private use or pleasure, should pay an
annual license fee. The money collected
from this source was to constitute a spe-
cial fund for street improvements to be
known as the wheel tax fund" The lower
court found in favor of the wheelmen and
issued the writ prayed for and the Supreme
Court affirms this finding in the following
language: IN this case there is no express
power given the City Council to impose this
license fee and no implied power arises
which gives the right. 1t has no power to
levy tax in this manner. In no view of
the. case has the city power to adopt the
ordinance"

THE SHADOW OF CLEVELAND.
According to This Authority 1t Does
Not Loom Very AlarmingIy.

Washington Post.
Our esteemed contemporary the Mobile
land influence upon the campaign of 1900
1T is going to worry the boys to find
old man Cleveland not dead as they
have thought him. He has been writing
a letter to the New York Democrats.
and the letter has been read and APP
plauded. 1t seems that the faction he
represents will hold the balance of power
I'm the next national election and will be
able to throw Kentucky, Indiana, Mary
cut, Delaware, Wisconsin, Illinois, and
California for whatever candidate they
like. and as those States go. so goes the
1t occurs to us that these are very large
conclusions TO draw from such meager
ten letter to the New York Democrats
meaning, of course the Bynum, Cochran,
DE Witt Warner and Tracy group-and be-
cause this letter received a certain amount
OF mugwump and renegade applause, why
should the Register assume that the Cleve-
land faction will two years hence control
the elections i'm the States of Kentucky
Indiana, Maryland New York New Jersey,
Connecticut, Delaware. Wisconsin, Illinois,
and California? What possible connection
can be established between the chirrups IF
a few New York cuckoos and the political
balance OF power in ten great States in
1902 The connection may exist but we
confess we cannot perceive ii.
In our opinion, Mr. Cleveland will have
no more influence upon the next national
or the chief towel-washer of the Treas
ury Department. While he was Presi-
dent, during "a, rs and '96 he possessed
and ruthlessly exerted-an influence which
resulted In the defeat of the party which
had lifted him out of provincial obscurity
and twice made him the most powerful
ruler I'm the world. Although che Democra-
cy was strengthened by his opposition ana
gave Mr. Bryan some 700 coo more votes
than IL had ever given him, he was still
able. through a shrewd use of patrona ge
70 contrive its downfall and confusion But
he will have no offices in 1900 wherewith to
compensate Democratic recreants and no
power with which 10 intimidate Democratic
cravens. II is on the cards that Mr. Nc
Kinley Will be renominatedl and reelected
but that will be done through the country's
grateful recognition Of his hish character
and unselfish patriotism, hls nobility of
purpose and his courageous discharge OF
public duty. Outside Of the little band of
fetich-worshipers who still envelope the
mugwump prophet In their maudlin ecstasy,
the American voters will consider Mr.
Cieyeland's views and fadInaonitions no more

LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 25.-While Lieut..
Col c. l.. Withrow, of the Tenth Immunes,
was acting last week as president of the
court-martal which tried another officer for
drunkenness and intimacy with negroes, the
same charges were preferred against Col
Withrow and given to the press generally.
1t is announced now that Colonel Withrow
was acquitted by the court martial. 1t is
alleged that the reports of drunkenness in
camp are exaggerated because of alleged
spite work and that Colonel Withrow was
the victim of such feeling caused by his
enforcement of discipline and the arrest of
officers and privates for disorderly conduct
Lieut.. F.. III. Downey, Eighth Massachu-

Philadelphia Telegraph.

the strange statement is made that Mr..
Harold Frederic the American novelist
who died in England on Wednesday Of
heart disease. according to the dispatches,
had been lin the hands Of Christian scien-
lists, and that medical help was summoned
only a short time before his decease. IT is
further reported that the body is TO be cree
mated. but we hope there are people ON the
spot sufficiently Interested in the case 10
the cremation is effected, to settle the point
of possible malpractice. 1t is astonishing
that a man of Mr.. Frederics intelligence
and culture should have been a victim of
the Christian science delusion but the pub
lie good in an instance of such prominence
demands the fullest inquiry. So much mis-
chief has been worked, and is constantly
being worked. by this form of credulity chat
law and reason have here opportunity
which should not be neglected.
