A. lUVF.NPOKT. of Frio. Flection Day, Nov. 3. There Is 'one consolation about the present position of the Scran ton hull club. The team will not be likely to be disturbed In It. Needed Bicycle Legislation. The ordinance governing the use of Mcycles In the city of HulTalo reailH ns follows: "No person shall ride any bi cycle or tricycle In any street, lane or alley of the city at a faster pace thun at the rale of 10 niiles un hour, and by means of u bell or whistle shall Rive proper and sufficient wuniins upon ap proaching a pedestrian upon a street crossing or other portion of the road way, so us to enable such pedestrian to avoid a collision. And any such person who shall full or neglect to ulvu such warning and who shall by reason of such neglect or failure, collide Willi any pedestrian, shall forfeit and pay a penalty of not less than live, nor more than 25 dollars for each of every of fense. And any person who shall wit ness such collision shall foave the power und authority to Immediately appre hend and arrest the offender, without warrant, and convey him to the nearest police station." Objection hits been raised to the llx tng of a specified maximum speed limit on the ground that it Is not feasible for thewh-.liim!i to know win n he is riding mure rapidly than, tay, 10 miles uu hour. Neither can the authorities witli certainty determine this point. There fore In most cities, notably In Philadel phia, the law hus been worded do us to read that no person shall ride so fast an to lose control of nil vehicle. We are not sure that the present ordinance in this city should not be amended so as to make It Illegal for riders to lose con trol of their machines. Such an amend ment, followed by a vigorous enforce ment against all violators, would soon Bet the bicycle evil to rights. . In buffalo there is another ordinance which ought to be copied In Scrantou. It provides that "no person shall place or cause to be placed In or upon the surface of any street, alley, highway or road any glass, metal, stone, earthen ware or other substance of a nature likely to cause Injury to pedestrians, animals, carriages, bicycles or other vehicles." Every person violating this ordinance Is subject to a line of not less than $15.00 or more than $-.0.00. Governor Hastings Is sensible to pre ftr the baton at Harrisbuig to second fiddle at Washington. Needed Here. ' Before Magistrate Jernion, of Phila delphia, on Monday six reckless 1I fycle riders received a proper rebuke. The magistrate, In holding two of them in $MW ball each for court, said: "Ry tho act of April 2J.1SS9, riders of bi cycles ore entitled to the same rights und subject to the same restrictions in the use thereof as ar prescribed by law In the cases of persons using car- luges drawn by horses. l!y ordinance ,f Sept. 23, 1SC4, It Is declared to be a nuisance to ride or drive a. horse or other animal attached to a vehicle through the streets at a gallop or other Immoderate gait. The. penally for vlo Intlon of this ordinance is a fine of $:. "By ordinance of Dec. 31, 1SD2, it Is declared to be a nuisance to ride a bi cycle without having control of the ma chine. The penalty for violation of this ordinance Is a fine of $10 and under the testimony adduced each of these ordinances has been violated, and tho defendants could each be fined $15. It Is, perhaps, fortunate for the defend ants that no person was Injured or property destroyed as a result of their careless riding, or they would have been subject to the act of March 31, I860, against furious driving and rac ing;, the penalty for which Is a fine not exceeding $500 and imprisonment not exceeding; five years. "The public streets and highways of a city are made and Intended for the use of all citizens to go, walk, ride and drive upon, at their will and pleasure. They have a right to the free use of the same, and to pass to and fro upon the same without molestation or fear. They have a right to police protection both for their persons and property, and should be able at all times to practice all the said rights without danger to their lives or limbs.' The rnunidpallty must protect them In their -rights, and eo that the streets and' highways are not blocked or narrowed, and that there Is not maintained 'upon them' any nut ance of any kind. , Any person who hall block or obstruct any of tlie pub lie streets or highways by placing; or causing to be placed upon the same anything which will Interfere with public travel Is committing a public nulsuiice, and any person who shall un lawfully, willfully or wantonly do any act endangering the lives or limbs of persons traveling upon the streets Is committing a serious offense which Is prejudicial to the public welfare, and they should be so dealt with us to de ter others from committing the same oliense. In view of all the facts, und the law, I will hold these defendants each In the sum of $S00 bull, for the next term of court, for committiut; a uui sunce upon the highway." - We need a few Magistrate Jermons in Scrauton. . The "Wilkes-Barre Uncord rises to re mark thut It wus "the llrst stralght-from-the-shoulder McKinley paper in Pennsylvania." It was also, we believe, one of . the first straight-from-the-shoulder Quay papers. P.ut that is an other story. lie:.ides. the first McKin ley pupir in Pennsylvania was Chris .Magee's Pittsburg Times; and it was as emphatic as a well-drilled stall' could make It. Leisenring Steps Out. k On account of Important personal in terests that require his attention. Con gressman Leisenring, over his own sig nature, announces that he will not be a candidate for rennmlnation. From a strategic point of view this action is undoubtedly wise. Assuming that Mr. Leisenring expects to return to politics after he shall have succeeded in putting his business affairs into a suitable con dition, lie can unquestionably save himself much annoyance by having some one else wrestle with the patron age question In the next congress. Patronage has killed more political careers than any other single cause. It Is especially dangerous In Luzerne county, where almost every other voter is a real or prospective office-seeker. It laid out Osborne; it floored Lynch und it annihilated Hines. Even before their time, when the two counties were to gether, it' helped to retire J. A. Scranton every other term. Indeed, as the pre cedents stand in the Twelfth district, it would be a step toward suicid for Mr. Leisenring, If he has ambitions that look to the future, to accept a re nomiiiution this year and bring down about his ears the veritable hornet's nest that would begin to buzz the mo ment that It i ame time to apportion the plums. Of course, the dangers of patronage distiibutlon will not prevent a lively scramble for the congressional succes sion. Of the serious candidacies we look to see early developments in the interests' of Morgan H. Williams, Uulus Uulsey and Alvun Murkle. Halsey represents Mr. Lelsfiuiiig's natural per sonal preference, although he will pro bably keen hands olT the actual strug gle; Aluiklc typifies the anxiety of the new county element to retain the con gressman v it Ii in the bounds of friendly territory; and Williams personifies the ambition of Wllkes-liarre to prolong Its political sovereignty in county uf fuiis. Kitlier would make uu excellent candidate; but it looks to a spcetutor as if tilt? nomination belonged by right to ex-Senator Williams. Colonel Henry Hall. In a dispatch to Chris Alugee's Pittsburg Times. Inti mates thut the Leisenring guberna torial boom has Quay's quiet sanction. This may be true, but Colonel Hall will huve trouble In getting himself accept ed as an authority on Quay's Inten tions. About Those Bishops In relation to the sentimental stir which has been occasioned by Ilia retire ment by the Cleveland Methodist gen eral conference of Bishops Bowman und Foster, Rev. Dr. Webster of Rochester, N. Y., offers the following explanation: "No doubt", says he. "this ado lias risen from u thorough misun derstanding of the cuse, which wus facilitated by distorted reports and blazing headlines In the daily press. One paper cries out, 'Two Useless lilshops. Kicked Out Amid Consider able iO.xcitement. A lirutul Report,' etc. What ure the l'ucts? Simply these. Paragraph 277 of the liook of Discipline suys: 'The general confer ence rhall determine which of the bish ops are nun-effective.' In the per formance of this duty the couimitt-'e on episcopacy found, upon careful inquiry, thnt the two bishops referred to, on ac count of uge and Infirmity, wire 'nimble longer to endure the pr trncted s'r.il:i, continuous responsibility, and almost constant travel Imposed by the ojlicj of bishop.' In a committee of 130 mi:rv hers only live disagreed with the re port. Another Important fact is that precisely the same action was taken In 1S72 with reference to Bishop Thomas A. Morris, und In 1.SS0 with re ference to Bishop Levi Scott, and in Identically the same language. "Of course, it is said that men should grow old and It Is not surprising that a wave of sentiment should go over the church when two such eminent and be loved servants as these ate retired. But Judges are retired at fixed ages and army officers. At every annual confer ence men every way as worthy if not as great as these, pass to the non effective relation, not upon an assured salary such as these bishops will re ceive for they were specially com mended to the book committee which fixes the salaries of the bishops but upon the pittance which is doled out by the hand of reluctant charity." As we said yesterday, we cannot dis pute the propriety of retiring these ven erable men. But there does seem to be a lack of propriety In not permitting the request for retirement to come from them Instead of from the conference. We might as well have the frankness to admit that they were roughly shoved aside; the secular press, in taking this view of it took the only view which it could take without distorting tha facts. It la nn Illustration cf the evolutionary principle of the survival of the fittest which looks somewhat strange In "the quurter whence It arose. That is all. General Weylcr Informs an Inter viewer that he doesn't deal in rumors. No, his commodity Is bluffs. The Washington Post claims to know that last fall-Mark Hannu laid an out line of his plans before Senator Quay and wanted him to take personal charge of McKlnley'a canvas. The Post says Quay declined on account of ill health. We violate no confidence 111 asserting thut Colonel Quay is better now. Chairman Dingley lias apologized to the country fur Ills committee's Indif ference tu reciprocity, and explains that It is all drover's fault. Olve Chairman Dingley a Kepubllan presi dent und he will pa&s a reciprocity bill so quick it will make Democrat-) 'a head swim. - According to Warner Miller, Thomas Piatt must either retract what he has said against McKinley or leave the He publican party. This is Warner's ulti matum, and It Is unnecessary for us to warn Mr. Piatt of the man-eating char acteristics of Mr. Miller's ultimatums. The efforts which ure being made in Luzerne county to free the six toll bridges that span the Susquehanna riv er deserve to succeed. Toll bridges per formed a useful service in their day, but in wealthy counties like Luzerne thut day has passed away. The ordering for export of another big lump of treasury gold Is a repeated demonstration that it doesn't pay to elect Democratic administrations. Mr. Cleveland's contract to carry the Democracy for the gold standard threatens to prove the champion rlesh reducer of his whole experience. It will do no good for Spuln to make new promises of reform for Cuba. His tory teaches that a Spanish promise isn't worth u canceled check. - - Most of the destruction which Is being wrought hereabouts by forest fires might be uvolded It Pennsylvania had proper forestry laws. HOW TO TREAT REPORTERS. The Chronicler of the Rochester Demo crat uml Chronicle mukes u true and time ly diagnosis of a widespread social evil when he points out thJt not one public festivity or ceremonial In ten is properly managed with reference to the provision made for the accommodation of reporters. The general Idea of those in charge of nivalis of the kind is that the newspaper reporter's chief mission is to be tilled lull of fuud and Illinois and thut the tilling i.f him is a necessary price of his and hl-i paper s lavor. Says our Rochester friend: !! II h "Tnke u big public dinner for nn ex ample of this sort of assignment. The re porter attends it not because he wants to, but liecause he is sent by the city editor. He Is there to work, not to be entertained. He wants and he Is entitled to have proper I'a- ilitles for doing Ills work. He want.i u table, lit which be euu write, udvuutage uusly placed for seeing and hearing; no wants pvople who ure not working news-, paper men kept away from that table; he wants somebody who Is posted und sober detailed to tell him what he must know in order to make his report full and ucciir rale. These things he never gets. He does not want und Is not entitled to cither 'a plate' or un upology for a failure to pro vide 'a plate' for him. not prunVrs of cigars or chuinpague nor the familial- con versation and suggestions of semi-Intoxicated guests moved to bestow social recog nition upon him. Tluse tilings he u!was gets ad nuiiseatn.' Wherever, where vic tuals und drink ure, the reporter's work takes him. klnd-hcat led people w ho ought to know better, treat hlni as If they Ihoiight the poor, miserable, half-starved fellow hud been Irresistibly drawn thither by the scent ol the viands. It is full time thut decent, self-respecting moil were treed I'lom the annoyances to which they are constantly subjected by the linueriu of that outworn tradition that the reporter is a sort ol combination of social outcast und chartered dead beat. II II II "You, no matter who or what you arc, have nn possible right to assume that a re poitcr I.- not (lift as able, just as much hi, und and just as willing to tav his nay, to buy for himself all he wants to eat and drink and smoke, to "keep his end up" in rhoil. as you ate. It Is Just us much of a solecism to otter to contribute, either 111 cash or in kind, to his support and suste nance, as it would be to niiike, unsolicited, a proffer of similar assistance to any other stranger or casual ucquaiiitarice In your own rank of lite. His work Is just as im portant and just as honorable as anybojy els.-'s norli. Personally he may be your social Interior, your social equal or your social xuperior. As to that, when you meet ti I n us a reporter, you know nothing und have no business to ussume anything Voll and he meet solely on a business foot ing. He Is not seeking to establish social rtlatlons with you, und you run serious risks ol' becoming misunderstood If you try to establish six lal relations with him. He mav even think you presuming. Some reporters are rather exclusive and in clined to be particular In chousing their acquaintance. At any rate no man for feits bis right to draw a line between those whom he cares to know in a social way and those whom he docs not care to know in a social way by becoming a reporter an I so being brought into business relations with all sorts uud conditions of men and women. II II II "So. ilear sir or madam, when a re porter calls upon you at your club or your office or your home or elsewhere, to ask you to tell him something Ids paper wants to know, you make a blunder when you ussuinc thut lie cares a copper about voll personally, une way or the other, or that he wants your cigars, wine, liquor, beer, patronage, friendship, acquaintance or anything else that Is yours, except the in formation lie asks you for. This you are at pi rli ii liberty to give to him or lo courteously refuse to give him, as, ull things duly considered, you deem lies;. He expe.-ts from you us a civilized human lieiiix ordinary decency in your behavior toward him. but that is ull he exoects or wants. If you would win the respect und regard of reporters, which are worth any man's winning, make It a practice to tell them what they want to know us fully and quickly as possible, when you can. und when for any reason you cannot. o inform them courteously ami concisely. Hut don't patronize them, don't offer juur confounded dinners und clgurs und beer and champagne and passes to them until they ask you for tin in. which, us a ruie, will be never, and don't unless you are willing to be regarded by them as one Ig norant of ics convenances, ' confer upo.i them your personal acquaintance until they have in some way Intimated that they are desirous of that honor." NOT A FAKTY HKCKKK. From the Kaston Free Press. Senutor Quay was right in declining to enter Into the combination to attack .Majji McKinley on the ground that -he wus not suund on the money question. This sort of nttuck only hurts the party, as a whole, without weakening .McKlnley's support. It was iinjun to McKinley to assail him, since his position as u candidate prevent ed his replying, and It was unwarranted, for the reason that .McKinley Is sound and his speeches have proven him so. Quay Is lighting for the nomination fair ly and openly. And the .McKinley men appreciate this fact. HK'll- SELECT THE BEST. From the Wllkes-Uarre Record.

Often - first manifested by ex treme general debility, with sudden reactions for the better; a general dying out of the fires of life, that brighten up at inter vals, giving hope of returning health, but eventually subside, go out on the spot, and another " dropped dead on the street " is reported. A general collapse of the great vital centres, due to a lack of sufficient nourishment is the cause. In such cases take Bovinine and live to join the great array who today sing its praise. Dr. 1 B. Carpenter, cf 430 Friend ship St., Providence, says, " I have never seen a case of gen eral debility which l?ovinine failed to cure, when taken as I directed." It cures in every in stance where mal-nutrition is experienced. It is not a medi cine, but a powerful condensed food that makes blood, flesh and bone, and by invigorating the life-generating organs dispels disease. Furniture. For the Largest Stock to Select From.
