THE BICYCLE TRUST.

1t seems to be pretty well established
that the leading manufacturers of bicy-
cles have entered into an agreement, or
trust, to control output and maintain
prices It is stated that a huge pool of
manufacturers, with a capital of s5O,0O0.-
CO., has been or viii be formed. In order
to insure the keeping of the agreement
which has been or will be entered into a
provision is made that any manufacturer
in the combination who cuts prices shall
forfeit his license to manufacture bicycles
pay a penalty in cash.
1t appears, therefore. that the success
of the new trust depends upon the chain
less, or bevel-gear, patents The patents
are owned by the promoters of the combi-
nation, who are the makers of wheels that
are regarded as the standard machines.
But it remains to be seen whether the pub
lie will accept the chainless wheel, at a
considerably higher price in preference 10
the chain wheel. There are hundreds of
independent manufacturers of chain
wheels and the most of them are making
good bicycles There are no exclusive pat
ent rights In the way of making a first
class chain wheel for low price The
chain wheels. which were the only wheels
on the market up to within a year or two,
have been brought to a high state of per-
lection. They are easy running. comfort
able, safe and comparatively clean. The
bearings and the gears-which are the
most axnapeiva parfe-ara noun c,,t ~, -,
tomato machinery which reduces the cost
of manufacture. In so far as service goes,
a chain wheel is just about as good as a
wheel of the bevel-gear pattern; and ID is
just about as speedy. The records do not
show any remarkable speed for the chain
less or bevel-gesr machines.
In bicycles, each year has its especial
model. To be strictly up-to-date, the bicy-
clist must ride the model of the current
year. There has apparently been an effort
on the part of manufacturers TO force the
chainless models TO the front during the
past year or two According TO the litera-
ture which they are putting out-and
which the bicycle crank accepts abso-
lutely-one must necessarily ride a chain
less wheel or be considered a back-num-

model" or speed. They wish safety and

give them that; and IL the chain wheel
can be sold for a considerably lower price
than the chainless, they will probably
stick to it. There are, to be sure, a certain
number of cranks and scorchers who must
have the latest models turned out by the
factories. These will purchase any new
wheel that may be made, at whatever price
may be charged. But the number of them
does not appear, TO US. to be large enough
to support a great trust which bases it's

AGAINST PLUTOCRATs.

The refusal of Mr.. Bryan to sit at the
same table with Mr.. Perry Belmont and
Mr.. Croker on the occasion of a dinner to
celebrate the anniversary of the birthday
of Thomas jefferson has aroused a good
deal of feeling among the two factions
of the New York Democracy. Mr. Brew
ster, who is managing the 81 dinner, at
which Mr. Bryan will be a guest, is tell
ing the newspapers that the Democra tic
party of New York has been trying for
a long time to get rid of the plutocrats,
and that the time has come apparently
when it will be successful He said the
party would be better off without such
men as Croker, Belmont, Whitney and
Flower. There are thousands of other
Democrats in the state, of course, who are
not regarded with favor by the men for
whom Mr.. Brewster speaks-Democrats
who by hard work and the use of their tall
EMS have accumulated fortunes. Mr. Bry-
an, however, does not sympathize with
this feeling against rich men, but he has
opened the way for an expression of it by
his course in the matter of the $40 and 81
dinners
We are afraid that Mr. Bryan made
mistake when he undertook TO split the
Democracy of New York-a mistake in
that it begins to look as if it would be
the beginning of a movement to array
the rich against the poor. 1t is to be hoped
that such will not prove to be the case. II
is certain that Mr.. Bryan had no such in
tention when he declined the invitation
to be present at the dinner of the Demo-
cratic Club. What he aimed to do was
to make distinction between 16 to Dem
ocrats and the gold standard Democrats
those who supported the Chicago plat
form and those who supported the In
dianapolis platform. The 81 dinner pro-
motors. however, don't care so much about
the Silver question as they do about some
other things-labor problems, for instance
and that fact will be made apparent. in
all probability, on the occasion of the din
ner.

THE CANE OF CHILD CRIMINALS.

The Governor of Kentucky q few days
ago pardoned a 13-year-old child that had
been convicted of barn burning and SEN
fenced 10 the penitentiary for two years.
At the same time he announced that as
long as he had power to do So he would
pardon every child convicted and sentenc-
ed 10 states prison. so long as the great
commonwealth Of Kentucky, with her
boosted civilization. millions of wealth
and Christian influence, fails to provide
more suitable reformatory for her youth
full. ignorant. offending children than this
den of iniquity (the penitenuary) I shall
turn them out as fast as they are sent
there. while l have the power to do So"
he said. The Governor declared that to
send the child 10 the penitentiary. to as
sociate with hardened criminals for two
years, would be equivalent to moral
murder"
The same difficulty which exists in Ken
lucky in respect to child criminals exists
in most of the other states also. The same
problem which confronted the Governor
in the case noted, namely. whether the
ends OF justice and right would be the
better served by the Incarceration of a
child among hardened criminals or by the
release of the child, has over and often
been presented to probably every court in
every state which has not a reformatory.
The records of the police courts of every
city will probably show that a consider
able number of the arrests made are of
children; and in the higher criminal courts
1t is not an unusual matter for the defend
ant at the bar to be a child of tender
years.
The legislature of Illinois has before It
a bill designed for the purpose of provid-
ing for very young law breakers 1t is
known as the "truant school bill" 1t
proposed a reformatory school. The. school
is not to be considered a penal institution
although residence in the dormitories and
attendance at studies Will be compulsory
for specified length of time The es-
tablshment is to be under the educational
and not the penal system. Children who
habitually play the truant are to be sent
to this school, for discipline; hence its
name. Being a school, and not a prison.
in the ordinary acceptance, there win be
a minimum of odium attaching to it and
to the children that attend it. 1t is the
belief of the promoters of the bill that
such a school would keep habltual truants
off the streets. and hence out of mischief
and as we'll serve TO restrain children who
have broken the law but are too young to
understand their offense, and TO teach
them to become good and useful citizens
Especially, it is claimed, would such a
school serve to inculcate good morals in
children whose parents are incapable of
directing their footsteps into the paths
which they should travel

THE SOUTH AND PROSPERITY.

The South is less prosperous than the
East and the West While the newspa-
pers are saying that prosperity has come
the people Of the South, except in spots.
are wondering on what the statement is
based The reason that the South does
not realize that the country is more pros
porous than it was year OF two ago
Is that she is almost wholly an agricultu-
raj section, and her chief crop is cotton
and as everybody knows. the price OF cot
ton is so low that it yields no profit to
cotton growers. If the price of cotton were
cents pound, OF even 6, the South would
be in an exceedingly prosperous condi-
ton. for the cotton crop for several sea
sons has been large.
A question which presents itself Is this:
Can the South ever be prosperous, unless
there is great change in her produc
tons If the price of cotton does not rise
above the price for which the bulk of the
crop, of the season which is now about
over, was sold? In other words, can the
South get rich on scent cotton. if she de-
ponds on cotton? We doubt if she can.
And it looks as 81 the price Of cotton
would not advance a great deal The rea-
son it will not is the refusal of her cotton
farmers to cut down the cotton acreage
that is to cultivate less cotton. If they
would reduce the output only million
bales below what was produced in the
season of 1859 the price would advance
at least l cent a pound and perhaps 2
cents. If the price were cents higher
nearly 800, 100000 more year would come
into the cotton states.
But as there is little or no proba bility
that the output of cotton will be reduced,
what is the South to do in order to have
prosperity equal to that in other sections
of the country? The answer is that she
must give more attention to commerce
and to manufacturing. The richest coun-
tries have always been those which are
known as manufacturing and CONNER
cial countries. The South has all the ad-
vantages for manufacturing and com
merce possessed by other sections. She
has raw material in abundance. Her cot
ton fields are sufficient TO keep a thousand
cotton mills running and hundreds of ships
employed. Her iron mines are so located
in respect TO coal and lime that she can
make iron and steel cheaper than those
articles can be made elsewhere in the
world. She therefore ought to build ships
at her own ports and furnish all the
freights necessary to keep them busy.
Yes, the South must give more atten-
ton TO manufacturing and commerce. She
has the resources within her limits to be-
come the riches part of this great coun-
try. Her people should invest their CAPT
tai at home and should exert themselves
to influence capital to invest in Southern
enterprises. They should think less of
cotton, and more of other things which
would yield a better return than cotton
There are opportunities for making the
South prosperous which are neglected. It
is only necessary to improve them to
make the Southern states the wonder of
the world.
