rHe WHEEL NUISANCE.

The Journal still believes that at
this time Of the year at least. the BIZ
cycles should be ruled on all the side
walks In the city and that, too, before
the President comes.
Let us suppose the case. that the
President or some Of his distinguished
party are ridden down by a reckless
scorcher Would II not advertise sa'
lem disastrously In the eyes Of the
world?
Yet the humblest citizen of Salem
has as much right as the President 10
immunity from being run over by
reckless cyclsts-and there are even
careless wheel cyclesses-if that is
what the flying combination Of petit.
coats. legs. ribbons and feathers can
be properly called.
There are many safe. careful rid
ers. who always dismount, and who
never frlghten or crowd pedestrians
who might be permitted 10 use the
sidewalks. but about half the riders
are disregardful OF the rights Of peO
J pie on foot.
As fingers were made before forks,
aud feet were In use before inflated
tires were invented, people still using
their feet are entitled by necessity
and priority Of Invention to the right
OF way.
The wheel nuisance ON sidewalks
does not stop on abuse of the privi'
lege OF public walks. but the cyclists
drive proprietors OF private walks on
their own privately constructed side
walks.
They ram across the corners OF
flower beds and parkings. tumble
their wheels over onto the approach
es of the new postofiee, and do many
other careless acts. all following from
use of the sidewalks improperly
From MAY to November at least
the sidewalks should be freed from
wheels.

BLACK SEA FLEET ALERT
Never Stronger and Better Prepared
to Take a Hand Against
the Turk.

LONDON, Feb. I9.-WhateveT be the
outcome OF affairs in the Balkans 10 may
be confidently said that Russia was
seldom. If ever, better prepared for war
than at present. The recent passage
OF the DardanCIles by her torpedo boat
destroyers was no new within % The
Gar; no mere pretext to weaken the
efficacy Of the Berlin treaty or violate
its most essential provisions. The war
ships were brought into the Black Sea
because they are needed there and be-
cause Russia. before striking a blow
at the Turkish empire. desired to
strengthen herself in every possible
direction.
The Black Sea feet was never stronger
than now. never better prepared 70 take
hand in any fight against Ottoman
power. For years past munitions Of war
and provisions have been quietly but
effectively stored in the Crimea. and are
available at any moment a war with
Turkey would see the Russian feet OF
the DardanelIes almost in a few hours.
and this would mean menace and peril
10 Constantinople.
Despite Official denials. il is certain
that the military directors OF the Gear
have massed a powerful army on her
southwestern frontiers. Owing TO the
objection Of King Charles Of ROumania
who. from being a partisan Of Russia.
has become inimical TO her political as
plrations in the Balkans. Russian army
could not move through Roumania 10
Turkish soil. This means a change in
the plans OF Russia. who had counted on
the co-sympathy, il not the co-opera-
ton. of Roumania. Such change. how
ever. would not lessen the effect OF her
attack on the Turk. for her equadrons
can easily be landed in the ports Of
Bulgaria and. with BuIgsrians al their
back. swoop down on the territories Of
the Sultan.
Meanwhile Turkey is not idle. Even
though the exchequer OF the Porte be
empty. men and war materials are
plenty. and the troops on the Bulgarian
