sARnoNIC SARCASM.

1t appears that Speaker Reed carried
his full voltage of sarcasm over to Eng
land. OF course we, on this side, are af-
forded temporary relief, but unhappy,
mellow old England must be suffering.
Sarcasm seems to stew out of Tom Reed
as the otter of roses out of the otter, &C
cording to another wholesale dealer in
sarcasm, Mark Twain. In Washington
Mr. Reed told his Republican friends that
he had been knocking congressional ex-
travagance in the head in order that
money might be saved up to enable Mr.
Mckinley to purchase 100000 yellow
men at 81 head. AT this his Republican
friends shivered, drew their cloaks closer
about their persons, stepped back off
from the cycle path and allowed Mr..
Reed to pedal on to the steamboat dock.
unattended and alone, grand, gloomy and
peculiar
Six days afterwards Mr.. Reed landed at
Southampton, and resumed work with his
rapid firing battery of sarcasm
"Why, dash it," he said, "I came over
here to England to get away from news

Reed speared the whole editorial coterie
of England with a jest. With what de-

British audiences or British society?
On the other hand and to us this is, of
course, the brighter side, what a del
icate compliment was paid to Ameri-

words spoken on the quay at Southamp-
ton. And Tom Reed is something of

CULTIvATING GERMANY.

Rarely does nation find itself, through
into an attitude of unfriendliness toward
another nation against the preferences Of
its own people. Such was not the attitude
of England toward the United States
during the Rebellion. for the mass of her
people really sympathized with the Con-
federacy. In that struggle. It is unhap-
PLY. the attitude which we have been
made to bear toward Germany for many
months past against our own interests,
as we'll as against the sound judgment
of the American people. Thanks to the
the schemes of the Anglomaniac end of
the imparialist conspiracy have come to
naught. We have been met at every turn
by an accommodating and conciliatory
spirit, which is sure to result to the last
ing advantage of both peoples y @,''"
1t is especially fortunate at this time
that the negotiations for commercial
treaty between the two nations are pro-
crossing so satisfactorily. This fact we
owe to the substantial good will and
broad craftsmanship OF the German en-
peror and his advisers, who have acted
throughout in full view Of the opposition
of an clement of German society which
evidently corresponds somewhat closely
to our own jingoes
Nothing can go further to strengthen
the bonds Of mutual good will between
the German and American peoples than
the adoption of liberal commercial
treaty. Germany is fast forging to the
front as a manufacturing nation. Her
products are invading the markets of
England so as to cause the most far
seeing statesmen and business men Of
that country the gravest concern. There
is no better market at our disposal In
Europe for cur raw and unffn-
ished products, nor for a good deal of
cur agricultural products, than Germany,
if only we are thoughtful enough to Gull
tivate that market properly. It will be
our fault now if an end is not made in
Germany to the foolish anti-American
sentiment among the Agrarians. which,
IN the past, has subjected both nations
to so much loss and disagreement

The Beautiful Fabrics Now Being
Woven by Chippewa Women.
New York Sun
Specimens of the beautiful lace which
is being made by the Chippewa Indians
are now seen IN a few of the fashionable
houses of New York. They are mainly
in the form of table covers, bedspreads
and piano covers. This lace Is peculiarly
adapted for these purposes. as the de-
signs are bold and forcible and show to
great advantage when placed over a del
icately colored silk lining. In quality and
style. however, the lace is quite as sub
ject to variation as Is that of any other
make. and ample opportunity is therefore
afforded for individuality of the worker
to assert itself
1t is to Miss Sibyl Carter, of New York.
that the Chippewa squaws owe their
knowledge of lacemaking. In 1891 she
conceived the idea of teaching them this
accomplishment The bead work they
formerly made, while 1t displayed their
patience and nimbleness of touch. was
quite unstable. The accomplished teach
or that Miss Carter, aided by the Episco-
pal mission, sent to them was Miss Pau
line Colby. She speaks of her pupils as
being most eager to learn, and says that
the idea once grasped they work with an
accuracy which far surpasses that OF
white women.
From the first the lace found a ready
sale among wealthy New York women,
who encouraged the work by giving large
advance orders. Mrs. Cornelius Wander
bilt and Mrs. ]. Pierpont Morgan have
fine breaspreads of it for which they paid
$500 apiece. Mrs. Astor. too. has been a
liberal patron. The Indian women re-
ceive at the rate of 10 cents an hour for
the completed work. A collection of this
lace is now being prepared for the Paris
exhibition.

the high grades that are often met with
many cyclists seem entirely disregardful
of the rights of pedestrians and others.
We will mention but single instance.
that of the st. Peter street hill, between
Summit avenue and College avenue. The
that hill by a large proportion of the
wheelmen that travel over 1t Is nothing
less than criminal and should be steadily
punished as crime until an end is put
to the evil.
The G. lobe believes that the police;
as representing the general public. and
the members and officers of the cycling
associations. as representing the wheel
men, are equally anxious to do their en-
tire duty Anything that will promote
this end should be commended. A regula-
ton, for instance, which is general In
Eastern communities, requiring the
wheelmen all fines imposed for violation
OF cycling ordinances, should be adopted
here. 1t is in line with the reciprocal OBJ
legations of the Individual wheelmen and
the general public. AS individual wheel
men pay their money to establish and
maintain cycle paths, public authority
should corporate with the cycle assoca-
tons in the direction of protecting tho
general public and maintaining the eff
cheney of the cycle path system. Such
regulation would materially aid In the en-
forcement of the ordinances. 1t would
give the wheelmen an incentive to. put
an end to the scorching nuisance which
they have not today. The special police
men appointed at the suggestion of the
| wheelmen have not been of any use. The
moneys. received from this source. would
| go a long way to maintaining an intelli-
gent system of supervision by the wheel
men themselves, and would operate in
time to put an end to the principal COM
plants which the non-riding public have
! to make against bicycle riders.

AN EVENING SCENE.

The day is gone, in its last glow
That family pauses in the skies
The stars with strength and beauty grow
And on the verdant landscape lies
No darknes, but a flood of light,
For sent by stars each gentle ray
Doth pierce the loneliness of night
With some sweet fragments of the day.
How beautiful these shining orbS
Whose light the boundless sky absorbs;
Whose light is seen when fading fast
Fen where a thousand morns have
passed
The moon is rising from It's rest
And though so near the earth's dark
breast
That 'twixt them both naugh see my eyes
1t gently floats in yonder skies.
MY soul the sweetest joy has won.
And though within my breast it lies
And God sees them as if they're one
1t softly floats before the skies.
NY soul is where the morn will glow,
And only knows on heights like these
In which direction 1t must go
To reach Gods realm OF bliss and

GOLD IN RUSSIA.
New Field Is Said to Equal the
KIOndiIxe In Richness

KIOndilxe In Richness
PARIS, May 15.-Advices from st. Pet
ersburg tell of the report of an engineer
ing expedition which has just returned
from Port Arthur with accounts of the
discovery Of gold fields in Russian terri
tory which equal in richness the mines
of the Klondike
The mines are said to be located in
Kamchatka, on the 160 degree of longi-
tude.
The expedition de la Kamchatka
dOcotsk, under the direction of Mr..
BodgnorVich, representing the Russian
government. will divide the new terri
tory into five equal provinces, and invite
the formation of private companies to
exploit the mines.
New companies will be allowed to cap
italize to the amount of 5000. 900 rubles
($S OeO), and during the first five years
will not be asked to pay anything to the
government.
After the first five years, however the
government will exact percentage on all
outputs. which will be subjected to close
supervision and examination.
1t IS believed most of the stock COM
panies will be formed in France and
America.
The entire affair has been kept quiet,
but demands for information OF COM
panies under the terms expressed have
Already been addressed to persons in
France.
The Russian minister of agriculture Is
quoted as saying the climate In the region
is not so severe as that of the Klondike.

wHEELMEN AND THE PUBLIC.


The communication addressed by Mr.. ].
E. Myers, chairman of the committee of
associated wheelmen, to Mayor Kiefer,
published in these columns, brings up for
consideration many of the questions still
in issue between wheelmen and the gen.
eral public.
The chief cause of dissatisfaction among
wheelmen, as indicated by Mr. Myers is
that, while the police do very little to
bring to punishment those who malicious
ly work injury to cyclists. they go beyond
all reasonable requirements in their ef-
forts to convict wheelmen of violation
of existing regulations.
1t is quite plain, notwithstanding the
complaints of one kind or another that
are made on the general subject. that
the public have done much for bicycle
riders, and have shown a great deal Of
liberation toward those of them who have
no proper understanding of the privileges
of others. On the other hand no one
doubts that the wheelmen of St. Paul
are uHAiouS W ooey every reasonable
regulation, and are as willing as the
police authorities or the general public
can be to punish those riders who are
guilty of misconduct in any direction
There is no city in the Northwest in
which more has been done for the con-
vcnience of bicycle riders than this. Our
bicycle paths are all that the most en-
thusiastic could demand. Wheelmen
should ungrudgingly recognize this fact.
Nor should they forget that the topog-
raphy of st. Paul is such as invites a
violation on the part of the thoughtless
or disorderly wheelman of the regulations
for the public safety. In the descent of
