vised since Terry McGovern came for ward with a novel method of "cop- ping" the man ana the dollar. Tenn ple's system is picturesque. It is only practicable, however, for burly men. of broad and stocky build, possessing great physical strength and hitting power. He does not spar, feint or dance. He does not rush as other fighters do. dashing in on springy toes and with short steps, but runs just as he might if trying to catch a car. AS he arrives he keeps one glove so set as to cover nis jaw, he arches his body so that he cannot be hit in the dinner. and he fails the other hand into the other gentleman with unerring accu- raey. Professors of the old school de- cry the Temple system and argue that a scientific jolter would sidestep the black and jar h-m into dizziness. The scientific fighter doesn't exist who is as burly as Temple, and no slim man no matter how skillful, has the main strength to stop his rushes. Ryan and OBrien. of all the fancy jabbers are the only ones who have any license with O'Rourke's man. Tommy West and Joe Walcott are about the onlv huskies who could transact business with him. There is nothing to it Temple has invented a new way of lighting, and it is one that gets the
 money.

THE BICYCLE FAD.
Some Regrets Over the Fact That It
Has Vanished.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The reorganization of the bicycle trust
upon conservative basis is declared by a
financial writer to mark the evolution Of
the bicycle business from the fad stage
into steady, legitimate enterprise. That
is measurably true-more's the pity.
When the bicycling fad was at its height
hundreds of thousands of people took
healthful and agreeable exercise daily.
When the fad waned these people ceased to
take exercise. Nowadays the bicycle, with
few exceptions, is used In business way.
People ride it to and from their work to
save carfare. Bill collectors use It in their
business. So do book agents and solicitors.
Children are now about the only people
who ride for the mere pleasure Of riding
That is to be regretted.
Never has there been another form of ex-
ercise which was available to so many peo-
pie. The bicycle required no athletic train
ing. A child or an octogenarian could ride.
Women found the wheel easy to learn and
easy to ride.
Bicycling, like golf brought people into
the open air, but, unlike golf, 1t required
no especial tract of ground for its exercise.
Any fairly good road was the sole requisite.
The whole continent lay open to the adven-
furious cycler. The wheelmen and Wheel
women of 1s95-9s-the period of the great
est bicycle boom-saw more Of the country
In the vicinity of their homes than they
ever saw before or will ever see again The
bicycle was a typographical educator
The bicycle, In short, fulfilled two of the
three traditional desiderata.s It made peo-
pie healthy and 1t made them WISE 1t
made some people wealthy, too. CThese,
however, were the people who manufac-
tured bicycles, rather than those who rode
them.) 1t was<a fad which conduced to the
happiness ar = physical well-being of the
population and its disappearance is occa-
sion for regret. There is nothing in sight
to take its place.

Deal With Living Issues.
rom the New Orleans Picayune.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
From a purely political or strict party
point of view the folly of another attempt
to carry the country for free silver would
be equally evident. The country has already
twice rejected, by overwhelming majorities,
the silver plank In the Chicago platform.
There is no longer any general interest in
that question, and no inconsistency is in
volved in Its omission from any declaration
of democratic principles. If the democratic
party Is ever to win another national VIC
tory it must make a platform which will
deal exclusively with living issues. and
which will not inevitably exclude any con-
siderable part of any of its normal strength
from its active membership. And, above
all, 1t would be preposterous to undertake
he would not support, in 1896 or in 1900,
demand which it would be fatal to reassert
today. Moreover, the policy of the party
should not be shaped to meet the require
ments of any particular leader. If there Is
any man in the party so welded to his own
Views that he cannot stand upon any plat
form that has chance to win, he must I'M
derstand that he cannot be permitted either
to lead or to name leader for the democ-
racy.
There Is, outside of the democratic and
republican parties, a body Of independent
voters which has held. so to speak. the bal
ance of power In more than one campaign
within the last twelve or fifteen years That
element will not give Its support to any
party whose usefulness Is impaired ana
whose unity Is constantly menaced by the
virulent sdissensions of its leaders, or by O
factional spirit in Its rank and file.

Police Protection.
There are probably more policemen on
duty in this city today than on any pre-
vious similar occasion. 1t is estimated that
there are about 100 men doing such duty.
This includes the members Of the regular
force, about 900 men; 800 paid specials, 100
specials who receive no compensation and
sixty-five outside detectives. There are
about twenty-five Baltimore and Ohio de-
tectives and six Pinkerton men who are do
ing duty at the Baltimore and Potomac
depot.
Capt. Boardman, who has direct charge
of the detectives, assigned the men to diff
ferent parts of the city, in order that all
sections might be properly protected. A
local man was put with several outside
sleuths and several precinct detectives were
detailed to assist in the more important
work. These men included Detectives
Evans, O'Dea, Johnston and Herndon
Capt. Boardman, in assigning the men to
different posts, did the best he could to
give extra protection to points where the
crowds were supposed to be the largest
Up to noon today not robbery had been
reported, nor had anything occurred which
would lead the officers to suppose that
there were many pickpockets here from
other cities. The officers realize however,
that the danger will be greater as the
crowd increases. and people are advised not
to carry their money or valuables about
the streets in a manner to tempt dishonest
people. Two arrests were made yesterday
afternoon. James O'Brien and Arthur Nc
Elroy, well-dresSed young men from Buff
falo, were locked up as Migrants. They
were buying railroad tickets on Pennsylva-
MIA avenue yesterday, and claimed they
were in legitimate business. They may be
taken into the Police Court tomorrow and
tried as alleged Migrants.
