The law passed in Ohio few years
ago, directing that a special tax of
81 be imposed on every bicycle owner,
and vehicle has never been enforced,
meets the appreciation of riders so
well that an effort to have the law
observed is soon to be made by cy-
cllsts in the various counties of the
State. HF
Tho special tax is to be used for
improvements of roads for bicycle
travel. This special fund is to be col
lected by the County Commissioners
and used to good advantage on the
county roads.
There are, 1t is estimated, $4,000
wheels in Summit county. If collect
ed, $4,000 would make some good i'm,
provements.
Speaking on the subject, Henry
Dech, OF the Union Cycle company,
said to a Democrat reporter: 81 would
be well satisfied if the law were OBJ
served, and 1t is generally approved
by Akron riderss so much so that an
effort will be made next spring to

JUSTICE FOR CHICAGO BANKERS.

JUSTICE FOR CHICAGO BANKERS.
William A. Paulson, late President
Of the Central Trust and Savings
Bank, of Chicago, has just been con-
v1cted by jury of receiving deposits
III his institution after he knew the
bank was insolvent, and has been SEN
fenced to a fine and Imprisonment.
lie is the ninth Chicago banker to be
punished recently, during the term of
States Attorney Deenen. The com
plete list, in addition to Mr.. Paulson
is as follows:
E. S. Dreyer of the firm of E. s. Dreyer
* Co., bankers, now in the county Jail
awaiting decision from the supreme
court in the matter of his second trial
and conviction.
Robert Berger of the firm of E. S. Drey-
er q Co, bankers, now in the peniten-
tiary.
Theodore schintz, private banker. now
in the penitentiary.
George Magill of the Avenue Savings
Bank, Thirty-first street and Michigan
avenue, now in the penitentiary.
Charles b. Churchill of the Globe Saw
ings. Bank, convicted on two charges,
fined
W. cpdluAiS VI luS GlODe savings
Bank, tried three times. jury acquitting
once, disagreeing in the second case and
finding him guilty in the third. He is now
in the penitentary.
Allison w. Harlan, director in the
Globe Savings Bank, fined
Antoine Boenert, a private banker, now
in the penitentiary.
This record indicates two things:
First, that there is something radi-
cally wrong with Chicago banking
methods; and, secondly that the off,
GERS of the law and juries can be de-
pended to bring wildcat bankers to
speedy justice. Nine convictions of
bankers during the term of office of
enc prosecuting attorney is at once
a good and bad record. The bankers
OF Chicago need little wholesome
reformation.

until he got better position in the Phil
ippines under the Government. So far as
the matter being settled to the satisfac-
ton of the union goes. there are some
people who know something about how
that was brought about. Mr.. White
made no effort to clear the matter up un-
til he had been picked out by Elkins to
make the race for Governor. and then it
occurred to him that the record of his
paper against organized labor was likely
to do him injury. He was not the least
bit concerned about the matter until he
concluded to be a candidate, though al
most a year had elapsed. He did not
even attempt to straighten the matter up
a few weeks after it occurred, when the
Herald, a Republican paper. openly
charged him and Dawson of being OPP
posed to organized labor He did not
seem to understand that the matter was
satisfactory to the union when he be-
came a candidate, but took some trouble
and made a good number of pledges in or
der to get members of the union satisfied.
A number of secret consultations were
held before the union became satisfied.
1t did not become so much satisfied then
with what Messrs. White and Dawson had
done as with what they proposed to do in
the future. But all of this occurred after
Mr.. White had become a candidate for
Governor. Mr.. Whites deathbed repent
ance, after he became a candidate, can
not alter the facts in the case as they
happened. The members of the union
know who were their friends and who
were against them at the time when their
very existence was in the balance.

paign will be free from it. Then it cooIly
asks If the State Journal will join hands
with it. 1t may be that the Register has
never used any vile terms about McKin-
ley, or has contained any false charges
against Hon. A. b. White, but there are
impressions out to the contrary. So far
as the State Journal is concerned, it
would like for some one to show in its
columns a single abusive or scandalous
expression about a Democratic candidate,
just because he was or is such.-Parkers-
burg State Journal.
Now, Miss Journal, there's no use
getting red-headed about this little
matter of being decent The Register
don't use vile names" about Mr.. Nc
Kinley. He is President of the
United States. But it takes the liberty
OF criticising some of his policies and
methods, which is legitimate. We
prefer not to indulge in personalities,
not being the Wheeling Intnelligencer

gramme out, and fight this fight out

DANGEROTs COURSE.

The President, after consultation
has definitely determined not to sum-
mon Congress, although there is dis
tinct public demand that he do SO, and
will govern the Chinese emergency, as
he has carried on the war in the Phil
ippines, by virtue of his office as COM
mander-in-chief OF the army and navy.
In other words, he will act as dicta-
tor for the time being at least. AS
commander-in-chief, the President of
the United States is armed with large
powers, but they are not to be lightly
used in the waging of wars, particu-
larly upon foreign soil and ON the other
side of the world. Under the authority
so conferred a President of the United
States might properly, in great
emergency, act to save the country
from invasion by foreign foe, but in
almost any other case that can be sup
posed it would appear 10 be his duty
to summon the representatives of the
people, lay the ascertained facts be-
fore them, and obtain authority for
action. For the President of the United
States to appeal to his extraordinary
military powers too frequently is not
a good thing for the perpetuation of
republican institutions. The Chinese
situation is a complicated and involved
one, and may result in worldwide and
unprecedented troubles. We are
mixing in it, ostensibly for the protec-
ton of American citizens and Ameri-
can interests, but presently we may
and probably will find that our sphere
of action will not end there, and that
we are committed, by agreement or
implication to a coalition having for its
purpose very different end. 1t ap-
pears to be a case for Congress. If
Congress says to the President, Go
ahead" we'll and good. That will be
regular and legitimate. The present
course is just a trife too autocratic
and imperialistic to suit the average
American taste. Prompt action within
proper lines is what the situation de-
mands. The great trouble so far has
been, it hasn't been prompt and it
hasn't been proper

A TRUST EXAMPLE.

1t will be noticed that just about the
time trust commodity or product is
in big demand is the time it's price to
the people is advanced. Take the
case of sugar, for example. This is the
berry season." and sugar is wanted
by the housewife to preserve various
small fruits, and a little later on
peaches, ounces, pears, etc. Six weeks
ago, when the demand for sugar was
normal, the price was SEC; to-day it
is SIC. Another increase of loo per
100 pounds is expected before the end
of next week. The output of the sugar
trust and its affiliating allies is As 900
barrels per day. Its profits at present
prices are about fifteen million dollars
per year. And sugar may be forced
to &c before the middle of August.
Trusts are good thing! Yes, for the
trusts.

HANNA AND ELKINs AGREE.

Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, is
of the opinion that Mckinley does not
need the advice of Congress in the Chi
nese emergency, and that he is fully
empowered to do any and all things the
exigencies of the occasion may call for
And Senator Hanna is quoted as say
ing:
President Mckinley has full power to
meet all conditions as they may arise
lie has full treasury, and is empowered
10 call all the troops he may require to
meet such emergencies as may arise"
The President himself seems to be
of the opinion that his power is abso-
Lutte and sufficient, and that there is
no occasion for calling upon representa-
tives of the people for advice and au-
thority, even though our diplomatic
representatives may have been murder
ed and eleven thousand American
troops have been already ordered to
China. In other words, we are engaged
in another war, without the knowledge
or consent of Congress. The admins
tration diplomatists say that technical
ly it isn't war; but it bears all the ear
marks. We are sending war ships, and
marines, and soldiers by the thousand,
and munitions, and supplies and medi-
cal corps, and have even prepared to
despatch winter clothing, auguring a
long campaign. We are scraping up
troops from all over the United States,
from Porto Rico, from Cuba, from the
Philippines, recruiting depleted regi-
ments to their full war strength, en-
listing marines, and expediting work
on war ships. Coal, guns, ammunition
stores and all manner of supplies are
being rushed across the Pacific, at large
cost, and so grave is the apparent emer-
gency that many regiments of National
guards have offered their services. Yet
there is no occasion for calling Con-
gress, and the President has ample
power" This wasn't the old republi-
can idea.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
THE KENTUCKY CASE.

The suborned Goebel witnesses are rap
idly swearing away the life of Powers,
who was Taylors secretary of State
Wheeling Intelligencer.
This is very much Parkersburg State
Journal, and is deserving of some
notice.
Hon. William Goebel was foully
murdered in front of the State House
at Frankfort, Ky. The shot which
killed him was fired from a neighbor-
ing office building, in which Taylor,
the de facto Governor, had his offices,
and which was not only filled with his
partisan officials, but with armed men,
brought to the capital for purposes of
intimidation and murder. A number
of State officials under Taylor have
been more or less definitely connect ID
with the crime. Taylor himself has
since been a fugitive from Justice.
afraid to return to his State and sub
init to an investigation by his fellow
citizens under the forms of law. Sew
eral men supposed to be connected
with the murderous conspiracy are I'M
der arrest, and one is now on trial.
There is no intimation that his trial
is not fair one, and the pre-
sumption is that If he is innocent he
will be acquitted, and if guilty pun
ished. No fair minded man wishes
any persecution of the accused. The
thing to do is to get at the facts.
This, however, does not satisfy Re-
publican papers of the Intelligencar
stripe. They would have all the cases
nollied and drop the incident" al
though somebody is guilty. William
Goebel is in his grave, sent there by
political assassin. Why should NOT
the officers of the law, in a court of
justice, ascertain who is guilty? Tie
talk about unfairness, bribery of wit
nesses, and a determination to convIot
somebody is all rot. No innocent man
will be convicted by Kentucky jury,
no guilty man will be allowed to es-
cape. Somebody killed Goebel and it
was the result of plot. Why not in
vestigate it to the full? The jury will
pass upon the evidence, and it takes
an unanimous vote to convict.

New York World.
I'm a representative republic" says
Justice Story, "all power emanates from
the people and is exercised by their
choice.
This nation is still, in form at least. q
republic. The people are sovereign. They
are the real and only rulers. Their SOW
ereign powers are vested by the Constitu-
ton IN Congress, not IN the Executive.
The Constitution is not yet suspended,
so far as the union of States is concerned.
1t is time for the sovereigns to exercise
their sovereignty-for the people to rule.
We want no more wars without the au-
thority of the war-declaring power. We
want no annexation by Presidential proc
lamation of distant islands of alien people
who can never become citizens and can
not be ruled as subjects under republic.
No President can carry into eeffct either
of these policies against the will of Con-
gress If Republicans who are opposed
to Imperialism and Democrats who are
opposed to unsound money will aaid in
securing the nomination and election of
Representatives who truly represent them
