: SATURDAY MORNING, ffEC. 11, 1897.
v The mob of students which made a po
Jitical demonstration in front of the senate
at tParjs Wednesday, and the mobs of stu
lents which have cut similar capers with
politics or J'fun" as an excuse, are really
but a survival of middle-age barbarism,
when students were an impecunious crowd,
scantily supported by public dole and forc
ed to. (band 'together for purposes of high
way robbery, looting of bakery and wine
shops, and for protection against the min-
ions of the Ww who attempted to punish
their crimes. The history of the University
rof France, for instance, tells of the hang
Jng of Itwo'lstudeats -who ' had commibted
. highway robbery in 1407, the desperate en
counter of the soldiers and police with
some 10,000 -students who attempted the
rescue of" the criminals. -V In those days the
- vShop keepers closed their-'doors when school
- iwas let out, and the peaceful citizen bar
fed and shuttered his window. That. It is
tiot quite so bad in these days shows that
football and 'other rough sports and a bet
ter.supply of pocket money have somewhat
' tamed the "unlicked cubs," or at leaSit
made them less dangerous to others. "The
- iworld do move, a little."
'-PriraieV
John :)llen jhas eonies to the
trqat early ia , this session of congress and
. ia. gunning for he old' game; the pension
iniquity. His speech delivered on ThuTs5
day was in his; characteristic, humorous
vein, but coMainedany solid Chunks of
wisdom. (Mr. Allen was very quiet during
the last. congress, -but he enlivened its dy
ing hours' by a speech 'that was pronounc
ed, one of. tire best and by far the most
humorous of -the session; " He explained his
long silence by the remark uv "There has
been but little in . this "sessioiT to , inspire
a Christian man to be loquacious." The
Tupelo statesman is one "of the toes. t story
tellers in congress, and some of his beat
Jokes-ire on himself. , Perhaps the' best
one is his account of why he lef t the Con
federate army before the close of the wai.
"There were si blamed many Yankees in
sight that I saw if ;r Killed them all the
country would be bankrupt by pension
. claims. iI didn't waiA 'to do such whole
sale slaughter anyway so I just threw
down my gun and went ome." Mr. Al
len assumed the title ,c "Private" because-he
said he was the only private in
the Confederate army that survived the
war. The rest were all colonels or gener-
. als.

banner of progress and - enlightenment ?ln
many a;community of our forefathers and
the name is one we are proud to acknowl
edge.
As an expression of educated and un
biased opinion the following -from : the
London Spectator's review of Mr; Bryan's
hnok is extremelv in'teres'tinff. - . ! ' ' H
'. The Teviewer aayi : ' ' K ' !' ' ' ?
"In spiteof the obvious shortcoming '6l
the book,' we have read it swith great JLiy
terest, and have no hesitation in recom-
mending it to those who wish for' a true?
appreciation of air. Bryan and his motives
and principles than could be gathered
from the strongly biased reports of the
campaign which were, cabled to England
during its progress. There is no need-to
point out that the contest" was momen
tous, and 'that" -no - prie can follow . the iu
ture dourse; of American ,politics without
understanding the issues which wereriat
stake. English opinibny whrch naturally
looked at the matter rather from a bond
holding point of view, came to the confelur
sion that the contest was merely one. be-r
tiyeen gold and silver. But the , currency
question was tnly the lever with which
Mr. Bryan' and his party attacked all the
intolerable' abuses of money power' under
which their country groans.
"iMr.. Bryan is evidently a bold vigorous
speaker, characteristically American, and
well able to carry an American audience
with him. - .
"Altogether, on perusing this work we
arrive ait the conclusion that Mr. Bryan
musfi be am eminently attractive person,
though , the modesty with which he keeps
his own individuality in the background
makes it difficult to do moTe than "guess.
He repeats with some relish the vituper
ative comments of the opposition press .on
himself and his efforts. And the speci
mens are certainly startling. For instance,
the New' York Tribune remarked,' among
other "things, when all was over, that 'its
i a . at i .
nominal neaa was1 wormy oi me . cause.
Nominal because the wretched rattle
pa ted x boy, posing in Vapid : vanity and
mouthing resounding rottenness, was4 not
the real leader of that league of ihell.
But he was the willing puppet
Bryan was willing and eager. Not one
of his masters was more apt than he at
lies and 'forgeries.and blasphemies', and all
the nameless .iniquities of that campaign
against the ten commandments, . and so
on; There is hutnor in the repetition of
this by its subject, a humor that is also
exemplified by the apt anecdotes . that
come up in his speeches. 'JOur opponents
say,' he remarked at .(Brooklyn, 'we are
opposed to the enforcement of .the law,
but the fact is that many of our opponents
are afraid that the law-will be enf orbed.
They remind me of the man in coutL He
seemed to be uneasy, and when the judge
assured him- that he would get Justice
in the court he replied: "Great heavens!
judge, that's what I'm afraid of!' "
The ; book is , certainly welc,ome, as pre
senting new light on the "campaign in1 which
Mr. Bryan made a gallant effort against
fearful odds, and sinee 'we are likely to
hear of htm again in 1900, perhaps with the
chances more in his favor, it Is worth the
attention of political students."
The reason why some towns push ahead
faster than others is found in the fact
that in the successful towns the progres-
give lemeBt oesrjoit have to fight its
own peoplei' &fl Hhe ammunition is saved
for use in, bringing down the (bird. rIt
wodbe a good: idea for persons who -can
not aid in upbuilding their village to at
least keep their opposition to themselves.
No bird will be attracted to a place where
guns are constantly1 being discharged at
imaginary targets.
BICYCLING GOSSIP.
The attaches of "the Chinese legation
in Washington are taking- to cycling-,
but they havenot adopted the recog
nized wheeling- costume. They, ride in
their native dress and use ladies' wheels.
Ball bearings were invented by John
Wyatt, of England, in 1760. At that
time nobody believed that balls were
any good for bearings, and Wyatt's
invention was allowed to lie dormant
for 100 years.
Prince Ludwig Ferdinand of Bavaria
is an enthusiastic wheelman, and it is
Owing- to his influence that; cyclers in
Bavaria have obtained many alterations
in the police rules and regulations in
their favor.- - -: ' t .
One of the wonderful things , lately
evolved ,by the cycling- inventor is a road
map printed on" a long roll of paper,
which is wound upon t wo drums, ia
ironi oi ifle riaer, ann I"ypwounQk
by a slight movement, so as to show
the' route as he pedals along. f; Jj;S
The new cycling regulations in Paris
inake the use oi brakes compulsory. So
it should be everywhere. Two-thirds of
cycling accidents are due to the ab
sence of a, brake. Back-pedaling isll
very well. on, the level, but when-go
ing downhill, and the chain breaks, how
would back pedaling, save the rider?
The majority of wheelmen are self-con
fident and reckless, and only an acci
dent can convince them that they" are
not infallible.' " " '" ' .
