THE PUBLIC DEBT.

April %, 1899, the debt, less cash in
the treasury, amounted to s1,172, 587,-

the payment of s20o00,O00 to Spain in

The debt is recapitulated as follows:
Interest bearing debt, s1,046, 04S, $50;
debt on which interest has ceased since

THE STREET CAR STRIKE


1t is evident that the disputants in
the street car strike entirely overlook
the fact that the public have rights in
this connection that are paramount 20
those of either side to the controversy,
or both combined. They seem total
ly Oblivious to the truth that the COM
bined interests of both company and
men are but drop in a bucket COM
pared to the interests of the public
which are directly suffering from the
stoppage of travel on the street car
lines in this city and suburbs and on
the other side of the river.
The public have become disguised
and indignant at the repeated failure
of the strikers and the company to
come to terms of agreement because
of the lack of the spirit of mutual con-
cession and due regard for the rights
of the public, which really should be
first considered, since both sides are
public servants and do business only
through the favor of the public.
The upshot of such intolerable dis
putes between capital and labor, by
which the general public is the chief
sufferer, will be in this State, as it
has been in other States. notably Hi
nois, namely: the passage of a COM
pulsory arbitration law, which, if the
parties to strike are unable to agree
after reasonable time, shall compel
both sides to submit the question in
dispute to court of arbitration pro-
vided for by the law.
Certain it is that the present state
of affairs is intolerable and that it is
an outrage on the people and defiance
Of the public rights and welfare that
mere private dispute should tie up
or greatly hamper and retard the bus
mess of the entire city, causing in
credible loss to our merchants. espe-
cially in the retail business. and thus
indirectly to the entire city, to say
nothing Of the very great inconven-
fence to the people throughout this en-
tire section of the country on both
sides of the river.
1t is the spirit, the foundation of all
our American institutions that the
public interest is always paramount
to that of the individual or set 0f indi
viduals.

F. C. Goodwin, of Oakland, Cal,

others. While camped in the interior
his partner, Wesley Scheidecker, of
Grand Ridge, H., fell sick with scurvy,
and soon became unasle to travel.

of almost herculean labor he reached

NOT PLAIN SAILING.
The Proposed Cycle Trust is Meeting With
Many Obstacles.

Many Obstacles.
New York, May Recent develop
ments in the attempted formation of a
bicycle trust indicate the hugeness of
the scheme as contemplated by the
promoters and prove that all is not
plain sailing toward the perfection of
that scheme. Not only was it the in
tention of the promoters to form a
close combine of all the high man
ufacturers of bicycles, but they aimed
to bring into the trust all makers of
saddles, tires, rims, tubing and other
bicycle parts.
With this end in view options have
been secured upon the plants of many
manufacturers of supplies and parts
1t made little difference that some of
the part makers, like the saddle men,
for example, have already formed a
trust of their own. AS matter of fact,
it is stated on excellent authority that
A. L. Garford, who recently formed the
bicycle saddle trust, was largely instru-
mental in whipping the saddle and
parts makers into line for the bigger
combination.
1t now appears that the old bicycle
makers are not nearly so numerous in
the opinion that the proposed trust, if
consummated, will be to prevent the
manufacture of bicycles by any one not
connected with and ruled by the trust
With the big makers in the combina-
ton, it is claimed that all patents Of
any use in the manufacture of bicycles
will be controlled by the trust. and
hence the means by which to shut ont
competition. The makers who have
decided to remain Independent aver
that many of these patents are ques-
tionable and that few, if any, have ever
been sustained by the courts.
