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

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." -

.
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.

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

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.

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.

Heart
Failure.
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.
