It ts unfortunate that what promised to be an attractive and impressive bicycle parade was last night handicapped by the faflure of the police authorities to make even a respectable showing in the work of controlling the multitude which was out for the purpose of seeing the show. It may be that five hundred officers coulg not have Kept the avenue clear, but even fifty, if they were intent upon so doing, could surely have done much better than was done. Crowds are very much alike the world over. A crowd never thinks; it acts, and does so, as a rule, in a hurry. A nat- ural result of the free and unlimited move- of onlookers last night was a jam set and a smashed-up, squeezed- Xhibit of bicycles and bicyclists long the countermarching on Pennsyl- was anything like completed. tastrophe was undoubtedly distress- e riders—who had procured a at what st have been erable expense, decorated their and to the public which was so 1 so persistently in evidence. ne conditions could have been much wet had there been many thous- wheelmen in the column instead ndreds the confusion would have been very much greater. That the parade would on @ notable sucess had the riders iven proper right of way cannot be stioned; a thousand cleverly-costumed prettily-decorated wheels, the a ave Of course ands of bave paper lanterns, would have made a showing sufficient to recom- the vast crowds that went home appointed last night. A valuable lesson ‘ht which will doubtless be of use re. The next time arrangements are made for a bicycle parade there should be a detinite understanding with the police authorities to the end that the riders, be they many or few, may have ample oppor- tunity to display their skill, while at tne same time the spectators will also be af- forded abundant fac‘litles to witness the a on in all of its detatls. Years ago, when bicycling was in its infancy in Washington, the wheelmen of the city formed a most attractive division of the parade given in honor of the visit of ex- Governor Alexander R. Shepherd. Since that time wheeling has become an art, and the number of riders has locally increased an hundredfold. Since a suecessful bicycle parade was possible here in 1888 there 1s no good reason why last night's parade, which in point of numbers was not more than three times as great as the cycle di- vision of the Shepherd procession, should have failed to secure a sufficient quantity of room on the city’s broadest avenue. ——-- 202 Non-Partisan Counsel. “Every loyal citizen should ally himself against the forces which controlled the Chicago convention; forces of lawiessness- which are [nconsistent with the mainten- ance of the republic.” That seems to be the voice of the ad- ministrction. It is Wkely to be accepted 43 such until President Cleveland makes open declaration of war upon the Chicago platform and the nominees who stand Proudly and confidently upon that re- markable structure. Immediately follow- ing the declaration of principle by Assist- ant Secretary Hamlin, from which the foregoing quotation is extracted, come similar announcements by Sccretaries Olney and Herbert; the other members of the cabinet will almost surely fall into line. This wholesale disavowal of the Chicago platform by representative demo- crats makes it reasonably certain that the campaign which is now on will be non-partisan. There is reason to believe that many thousends of voters will soon respond enthusiastically to Mr. Hamlin’s conclusior.s, which are: “Henceferth there should be no republi- —no democrat—but a union of ioyal citizens against the combined forces of re- pudiation and disorder. When once this dangerous element has been stamped out at the polls by an indignant people, we can again divide and discuss those political questions which for generations have kept alive the two great political parties.” ——+ 0 ___ General Weyler has been notified that the Havana merebants will not receive his paper money. It is a little hard for the general to have a currency problem piled on top of his other troubles. ——— ree Secretary Herbert regards the movement which split off from the administration to cruise for silver as nothing less than mrtiny. —__ ee A Second Term. Fefore committing himself on the subject of standing a second term for the presi- deney Mr. Bryan would have done well to communicate with Mr. Cleveland. There every reason to believe that when Mr. Cleveland declared against a s: ond term in the White House he was en- Urely sincere. Though under circumstances not so dramatic, his first nomination had yet come to him under circumstances quite as unusual fn their way as those under wh'ch the nomination of Mr. Bryan has come to him. His had been a sudden rige toa larg= fame. He had defeated in the convention all of the party veterans. While not a chicken, he was yet a young man. There Was some wagging of heads on this subject on the subject of his inexperience in tonal affairs. The veterans whispered to one another, and wondered what the ef- fect would he of elevating such a man to so high a plac Mr. € Mleveland heard of this, and was ad- it. He knew how strongly of selfishness entered into the is springs of action, and he threw a sop to the party leaders by formally proclaiming a second term. He said, in sub- ‘Gentlemen, turn in and help elect me, and I'll be in no man’s way at the end of my term. One term as President should satisfy the ambition of any man.” Did he mean !t? There fs every reason to believe that he did. But he knew little about the great temptations of power ax- cept from speculation. He described them very well in his pronunciamento, but he had not as yet encountered them.. When he did encounter them he ylelded like a snowball under a warm sun. His fine reso- lution melted completely away. He stood tor his second nomination, man- euvered for his third, and held his peace when scores of bis retainers and admirers were urging him for a fourth. .The.matter was put to him eo temptingly each time that he could not resist. It requires really great stuff in a man to hold out against Broionged and and persistent sppeais to his |' vanity. Is Mr. Bryan of the mettie to withstand such a siege? Conceive him in the White House, surrounded by men of his cholce, himself the youngest man ever elected to the presidency. The battle begins for what he and his supporters vaguely refer to as “a new order of things.” Such battles are not won, if won at all, in any brief period of time. One movement suggests another ™ovement, and even a Iittle success intoxi- cates. The presidential term draws toward the end, and Mr. Bryan, somewhat tenta- tively, recalls his resolution. Conceive—for it is easily dome—the effect on his advisers and retainers. Retirenow? Why, the “new order of things” has but just been fairly inaugurated. Everybody depends on him. If he relinquishes leadership the mossbacks will return to power. All that he has suc- ceeded im erecting will be thrown down. The country will really be worse off than if he had never been elected at all. The result of this sort of thing on a man of Mr. Bryan’s age and temperament is easily predicted. He would yield, as Mr. Cleveland yielded, easily, gladiy. He would not oply put himself into the hands of his friends, but would compliment them on their sagacity and discernment, and co- operate with them toward the nullifying of a half-baked resolution, taken at a pe- tiod when his knowledge of power was purely speculative. + +--_____ What “Free Coinage” Means. The Star has received many inquirles as to the true meaning of the term “free coin- age” as applied to silver. To satisfactorily reply to all of the questions propounded would hardly be possible, for some of the queries, being themselves unreasonable, are not to be satisfied by rational response. A clear and concise statement as to this mat- ter comes from Mr. R. E. Preston, director of the mint, who says that under a free sil- ver law any one possessing old silver spoons, silverware, or anything else con- taining silver, would have the privilege of taking such articles to the mint and hav- ing them coined into silver dollars, no mat- ter what the value of silver bullion might be. “At the present time,” says Director Preston, “the value of silver in the mar- kets of the world is about thirty pounds of the white metal to one of gold. Our peo- ple would, therefore, under the ratio of 16 to 1, have fifty-three-cent dollars, which might circulate for their face value in the United States, but which would only be ac- espted at their bullion value abroa As to the meaning of the term “16 to 1,” there is much lack of knowledge and an amus- ing variety of ideas. It really means that the pure silver In the standard dollar is about in weight sixteen times that of the bee gold dollar; the silver dollar contains -25 grains of silver, while the gold con- ee 23.22 grains of gold. The probable consequences of a free coin- age law are many. One of the most im- portant is that which Director Preston sketches when he says: “Unless Congress enacts some special provision preventing it, the nations of the world, in case a free coinage law 1s placed on the statute books, can ship all their bul- lion to the United States for coinage. Here it will receive the government stamp, and will be used to buy Americar goods for shipment abroad. The result wiil be that foreigners will get all American goods at half price, while Americans will have to pay the full rate for them. There is this danger of our trade being injured. At present silver is admitted free of duty in the United States. Treasury officials say that unless Congress placed a high tariff on the white metal, so as to prohibit its importation, the nations of the world would make the United States the dumping ground for their silver, retaining only a sfficient quantity of the metal in their circulation to act as subsidiary coin.” — eo -— — The President might be justified in feeling that it was bad enough to be practically re- pudiated by his own party, without being blamed by the Christian Endeavorers for the Armenian troubles. —_++2—_____ Mr. Bland is doubtless convinced by this time that Cincinnatus may have been all right for his day, but that he could never have got along as far as he did under mod- ern conditions. ———++e—____. The stress which is laid on Bryan's speech as an influence in securing him the nomina- tion shouid produce a boom in the business of the elocution teachers. ——ro Mr. Bayard has been interviewed con- cerning the potltical situation in this coun- try ard, as was expected, entertains ab- solutely no hope for us. —_+ e+ The Secretary of the Navy goes promptly on record concerning the Chicago platform with the opinion that its timbers ought to be shivered. ee SHOOTING STARS. Deep. “Did you ever publish that article of yours?” “No. “I'm afraid it got a little beyond your depth.” “It undoubtedly did.

The man who was tending bar in @ west- ern town went anxiously up to the pro- prietor and said: “There's a feller out there with patent leather shoes and a new suit of clothes that’s tryin’ ter git the laugh onter us.” “What's he doin’? Runnin’ down the Place? “No. He's callin’ fer fancy drinks that we ain't got.” “What did-he ask fur?” “A B. an’ 3." “A B. and 3.2? Lemme see. That's all right. B. an’ S. stands fur Bryan an’ Sewall.

They were anxious to break it to her gently, for she is very fond of the homely dog with the pink ribbon around its neck. “Where is Hector?” she asked. “Oh, he’s out.” “Playing?” ‘Um—yes—I s'pose you might call it a frolic.” Vhere ts he?” Vell, the last I saw of Hector he was ou his way to @ pound party.” Raral Festiva’ It's quiet in the city when the crowds have gone away; Its lonely when the world looks elsewhere for its holiday; A melancholy finds you which you scarze can understand, When you miss the hum of voices and the music of the band. But there's always recreation, and it isn't far away, Where the firefiies hang their lanterns and the leafy banners sway, Where the choir that haunts the forest sets the twilight to a tune, And our cares and follies vanish ‘neath the glamor of the moon. 2¢ 3 #aPIN pee: Ta k Pickford’ S, = “.9th&La Av.
