Wit the standing of the family horse"
The bicycle for business and recreation pur-
poses has an established place entirely
apart from races and records, though own
ers of wheels and owners of horses have a
peculiar interest in what the machine or the
animal will do under certain conditions. But
because ii is an established institution the
bicycle attracts but little general attention
in this day. People have become accustomed
to it; those who do not ride, as well as
those who do, know what to expect of it
and take only such heed of it as is neces-
sary to safety and convenience. In Indian
apolis the assertion is frequently heard that
it is less numerous than formerly and that
many nave abandoned its use. By way Of
supporting this statement, it is pointed out
that wheel parties" and century runs"
so frequent two or three years ago, are now
seldom heard of. Attention is also called
TO the fact that, whereas three years ago
North Meridian street was so filled with BIZ
cyclists during certain hours of the day and
evening that there was scarcely room for
carriages. now there are comparatively few
on that t~horoughfare. In answer TO this

shows that more wheels are in use in the

TRUSTS Know THEIR FRIENDS

An ih-natured exchange remarks
that ''Bryan's talk against the trusts is
all buncombe as there would have been
trusts if he had been elected"
Perhaps. But no one who has OBJ
served the trust phenomenon very
closely during the past three years be-
lieves that they would have announced
themselves at the rate CT twenty or
thirty week under Bryan. They
wouldn't have been brave enough to
begin and reckless enough to continue
at their present alarming rate. Nor
does anyone who knows Bryan mag
inc that he would have permitted this
state of affairs to exist.
Men may ask how he would have
prevented it, unless a congress pledged
TO revise the tariff backed him up. In
the first place Bryan wouldn't have
gone to the hotbed of trusts and Sc
lected a trust attorney to enforce the
law against trusts. In the second
place the influence behind these I'M
lawful combinations would not have
felt as much at home around the White
House with Bryan living there as they
do now.
Has any one ever heard a word Of
protest from Hanna's protege against
the trusts? Is it not a fact that every
hide bound organ of the administration
with one or two eXceptions,@is defend
ing trusts and trying to prove that
they are a benefit to the consumer and
the laboring man?
The party may hear the murmur of
the masses, the low rumble of disap-
prevail that comes from the people, in
time to frame a wedge-shaped anti
trust plank for it's next national plat
form. But it will be an innovation in
Republican conventions and it will be
plank to which Mr.. Mckinley, in his
race for reelection will never refer.

XIV. EMILE lola.

There is probably no writer of today
certainly no French writer-regarding
whom the popular judgment in Eng
land and America has undergone SO
great Change in the last two years
as Emile lola. Till his letter to Presi-
dent Faure on the Dreyfus case, men
had attributed artistic defects in the
work to moral defects in the man. Now
all Anglo-Saxons honor in him not
alone the most powerful literary imag-
ination of his country in his genera
ton, but also that magnanimity and
higher kind of patriotic courage that
is ready to stand for justice against
wickedness in high places. and to face
the shrieking violence of that wild
fool-fury," a Partisan mob, in defense
of man wrongfully, though perhaps
not innocently, condemned for a crime

WHERE BOSSES FLOURISH.

Political bosses are to be detegted
and are inimical to our form of govern
ment Bosses represent simply a con-
cenuation of political power, or ring.
They live and exist through jobs and
schemes loaded upon the taxpayers.
They substitute their rule in their party
for the rule Of its voters, and visit po-
liticai death upon any who refuse to
bow to their dictation. They select the
nominees who, if elected, remain their
tools, administer their official powers
in the interest of their boss, and not
the people. The Republican party Of
Ohio is now in such control
The foregoing essay on bosses appears
in the platform of The Ohio Democracy.
Evidently the Republican party could
not exist without its system Of bosses.
There are big bosses and little bosses.
slim bosses and fat bosses, bosses who
hold office themselves and the local
boss. who would rather say who should
fill the offices within his jurisdiction
than to hold any sinecure in the gift
Of the great boss.
What is Mark Hanna but a political
boss? A typical bulldozer of convcn-
tions? A bargainer for states? A cor
ruptar of campaigns He isn't a states
man. He isn't a politician. He isn't
state-builder. He never was known as
: public-spirted citizen. He can't
claim to be a benefactor of his race in
any way. No one ever heard of him
in the Republican party. even of his
native state. until he bought the St.
Louis convention for Mckinley and
sprang at one bound into the national
Craftsmanship which enabled him TO
crowd John Sherman, one of the faith
ers of the Republican party, out of his
seat in the national senate.
Hanna IS the great boss of the party
that cannot get along without profess
sionaI politicians or bulidozers at. the
head of its various organizations. Next
to Hanna ranks Platt, the New York
boss. whose influence is offset to some
extent by Croker, who is content to
keep on his reservation while the ma
tional Democracy turns him down as
regularly as he has a candidate. But
Platt has a different reception in ma
tional councils. Far more dangerous.
because more crafty than Croker, he
handles governors, manipulates state
assemblies, names cabinet officers and
foreign ministers. and induces Repub-
lican presidents to ignore their solemn
pledges and throw government posi-
lions open to the spoilsrnen in defiance
of public policy and the civil service
law.

influence in the councils OF the national

strikes US in M. lola, and one that has
often been pointed out to his honor. is
the predominance OF will power. En-
uoWed with average talents, by sheer
strength Of will he has reached the
point he wished to attain, and in just
the way he wished. One of the words
which recurs oftenest under his pen is
the word conquer. His heroes sally
forth from small provincial shop to
conquer Paris. In the same way he
has conquered his fame. Ignored for
ten years. much contested afterward,
he has gone straight ahead, with the
same heavy stride, tracing his furrow
as he went; he has persisted in the
same methods and the same faults, and
at last he has carried the day. This
willful obstinacy, combined with ex-
IRENE narrowness of mind, has devel-
oped into an imperturbable assurance
and a prodigious confidence in the ideas
he has advanced and the work he has
done. 1t is thus that M. Zola has made
himself the head of a school. 1t is
commonly said of him that he is a
force. Another trait not less striking,
is vulgarity of nature. Whenever M.
lola speaks in his own name. whether
in critical Work or in newspaper arti
cles, it is in tone of the densest trivi-
atty 1t is not merely wit that he
lacks. He has no wit, and he knows it;
indeed, far from blinking the fact, he
boasts of it; nor is it merely elegance
and delicacy that are lacking; it is
the most elementary tact He has been
reproached with pride and infatuation
with himself, and has denied the
charge. l do not, in fact, believe that
he has a greater share of pride than
many writer's who are his interiors. He
merely yields to that instinct impelling
vulgar natures to put themselves for
ward and make a display He has been
reproached also with the violence of
his polemics, yet he is not spiteful or
good-natured, rather, but
he is naturally emphatic in speech and
addicted TO loud talk and vociferation
about trlfles. Therefore he has fallen
tooth and nail upon all writers who do
not belong to his school. and upon all
artists who do not paint like Manet. 1t
is all because he is totally destitute of
a sense of measure, and divides human
ity summarily into two categories-
great, good men and idiots. This liter
airy man has, moreover, little taste for
literature, and only moderate respect
for it, in spite of his loud protestations.
He has no literary culture nor desire
to acquire it. OF antiquity and of our
great literary epochs he understands
only SO much as can be acquired by
student at the university who is very
much bored at being there. Like all
unlettered persons, he makes the his
tory of literature begin with his CON-
emporaries.-Rene Dounic.

M'LEAN AND SILVER.

Mclean ought to win in the Buckeye
gubernatoriat race. He is a man of
national reputation. His newspaper
the Cincinnati Enquirer, is one of the
most enterprising news gatherers in the
United States. His other interests are
vast and varied. While actively en-
gagged in public affairs, he has made
a success in several lines Of private
business.
Then there is an especial reason why
the people of the west would like to see
John r. Mclean elected governor of
the presidents home state. One of The
pioneers of the silver cause, the first
publisher of a great newspaper east
Of the Mississippi, in fact, to advocate
Independent bimetallism. was this same
John r. Mclean.
At no time has he or his paper wa
yered in their support of free coinage.
The platform upon which he was nom
mated the other day, and upon which
he expects to be elected governor of
Ohio, places the money question above
all others and states the position of the
1$N'tSNAeN'S boA rs nv OllAs III ShAOs bOI
in the nation.
The first resolution, clear and ring
ing as silver bell, is a rebuke to all
the subsidized pioneers of the cause
who are making excuses now for going
back 20 Hanna and his organization.
1t says:
We heartily reaffirm the entire Chi
cago platform Of 1896; and we specially
emphasize the financial plank therein and
and we continue TO demand the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver and gold as
equal in primary money at the rate of 16
70 |, independent of all other nations in
the world.
And, as if loath to pass the issue by
with even that emphatic declaration,
the second plank of the Ohio platform
reads:
The Hon. William ]. Bryan still retains
our confidence, and we demand his re-
nomination in 1900.
Still. at so much per line. ex-silver
champions are writing and telling their
readers that nobody is talking silver
any more." Surely they presume too
much upon the ignorance of those who
heed their words.
