\ nit ofPoIitical history.

The New York World recalls the
following interesting bit of politi-
cal history:
"The last seven presidential cleo
tions have been carried alternately,
with the regularity of four-year
clock, by each of the two great
political parties. Tho record is;
1872-Grant, Republican.
1876 -Tilden, Democrat.
1880 Garfield, Republican.
1854 Cleveland, Democrat
1881 Harrison, Republican.
1892 Cleveland, Democrat
1896 Mckinley, Republican.
In 1900, according to the rule,
the President should again be a
Democrat Will history repeat
itself, and who will be the man?"
History will repeat itself and the
peoples champion, VIM. jennings
Bryan, will be the man.
In no State in the Union soy
those who know, are the young men
SO prominent as in West Virginia.
They fill positions of honor, and
trust which elsewhere would Oh ly
come as the record of long party
service. The personnel of the pres
ent Legislature furnishes convinc-
evidence of the truth of the state
ment. The proportion of the men,
bers who are under thirty years of
age, is greater, perhaps, than ever
before. Even more remarkable is
the fuct that the young mon are
the leaders. In point of capability
the present body is said to be one
of the most notable in years. The
skirmishes and open battles for
party advantages have called into
play the wit and resources on both
sides, and the young men have not
been found wanting. In the game
of politics their intelligence and
judgment have been invaluable in
backing upthe mature wisdom of
their seniors.

card was the very clever boxing bout of
three rounds by Tody Banks and Monk

it up right lively and won rounds of ap-
plause for their scientific exhibition As

EIS SHARE WAS DEBT.
A Suit Over Real Estate TFansac-
lions Involving SISO.0Oo.


A suit growing out of several real estate
deals involving about $3.50, 600 was fled
yesterday in the Supreme Court OF the
District The p1ties concerned are David
NJ. Lea. who. through his attorneys Pad
gett and Forrest, sues Thomas H. Pick
ford and John II. Walter for an account
ing and discovery. The transactions were
in connection with certain lots in the
neighborkood OF r and Seventeenth Streets
northwest and square No. al3, bounded by
i and G and Eighth and Ninth Streets
northeast.
In 1885 Lea states that he and the de-
PENDANTS entered into an agreement TO pur-
chase certain real estate in partnership.
II was agreed between the parties, Lea
states when the deal for the property in
the northeast section was made, that they
should share the profits and losses alike.
To complete the title $52000 was borrowed
from the American Security and Trust
Company. to secure which a deed OF trust
was given. Money was then borrowed
from the Anglo-American Saving and Loan
Company and the Old Dominion Building
Association of Richmond, Va, for the pur-
pose of erecting thirty buildings upon the
property
The title Of twenty-five of these houses
was vested in Lea, so he states, in order
that he might use his personal credit 10
obtain money for completing and furnish
ing them. As soon as This was done Lea
gays a second trust was placed on the
houses in favor of Charles r. Pickford,
a brother Of the defendant, Thomas II.
Pickford. for the purpose Of avoiding
mechanics liens. This transaction, he
further states, cut him out of ali legal
claim and possession Of the property.
Finally, Lea states, the property was
divided up between Pickford and Walter

A WHEELMAN's PHILIPPIc.
One of Many Protests Against Tax
ing Bicycles.

One of Many Protests Against Tax
ing Bicycles.
Protests against the proposed tax on BIZ
cycles are pouring in upon the Commits
sioners. The strongest argument yet re-
ceived came to the District Building yes
terday from John J. Stephens, of 1872
Thirteenth Street northwest. The COM
plainant states that he is resident OF
Washington, and wheelman. He p.o-
tests against the proposed scheme OF tax
alton for the following reasons:
Because it would be class legislation and would
be unfair. unequal, and unjust was the
income tax which the Supreme Court recently
declared unconstitutional. Because it would be
unequal and unjust attempt increase the
revenues. while vacant lots. business and specula
tive properties are assessed at umeasOnably low
rates as compared with the assessment of resi-
dences. Because it is proposed to discriminate
against residents and taxpayers of this city by
eXcmpting nonresideniS from the provisions of
the bill. Because it is proposed TO discriminate
against adult riders by exempiing riders under
certain age Because il will he UNJUST dis
elimination against the only users OF the streets
who do not even soil them. Because it is un-
worthy the District Commissioners to attempt to
Justify tins unnecessary measure by reason Of a
similar law being in force in other cities, whereas
these bicycles taxed with the consent of
riders, with the understanding that money so
raised shall be used for the Improvement of the
roads. Because OF the ineffciencv OF the Com
mssiOners OF the District and of the police force
Of the city regarding the condition and OF
the streets. as is shown by the following bill OF
particulars:
Except where policemen arc stationed for the
benefit and at the expense of street railway
companies, prctence is made by the public
to compel riders and drivers TO the right
side of the street, and drivers permitted To
hang their Teins from the top Of their vehicles
and to be asleep or reading newspapers while
their horses in motion thus endangering other
users Of streets. The police make only spas
mOdic efforts to prevent persistent dangerous
and unlawful speed OF street Posters, hand
bills, swecpings from stores glass, vegetables,
and other things in infinite variety that are
annoying and dangerous to bicycle riders are al
lowed be thrown into the streets and to be
dumped within the city limits, much of which
the wind again distributes the streets and
lawns Tar, sand. gravel. ashes, paper, and
refuse matter OF all kinds carted al all hours
and in all conditions of weather in such manner
that some part of the load is lost blown along
upon the streets, soiling wheels and making the
use of them uncomfortable and dangerous The
city is OveTum by dogs, thousands of them,
with and without tags, principally without, and
they render the streets particularly dangerous
to bicycles. Drivers turn 10 their left
curb to form pocket on the right side OF
the street they enter, thus greatly cndangering
bicycle riders
