THE bicycle habit is pulling the
profit out of the livery and street
car business with a vengeance. In
fact the question is assuming quite
grave proportions with both of
these businesses. And the "bicycle
habit" is only in its infancy.
TQE department stores of the
, great cities are proving disastrous
to the small dealers , who are unable -
able to compete with the more
powerful opposition in , prices.
Centralization is the tendency of
these times , and more of a flurse
than a blessing.

SINCE ReynardVailquist has
secured a position at the governmental -
mental 'trough 88 stamp ticker in
the Hastings P. 0. he refers to
"tho silver ngitatiou as "that free
silver heresy , " in his Adams County -
ty Democrat. Iteynard is too
foxey to tell whether he is a free
silver heretic or a sound money
1 crank.
IN the past it has been THE TRIP -
P
BUNE'S pleasurable custom to refer
to the town of Cambridge in highly -
' ly complimentary terms , regarding
its business men as models of enterprise -
terprise and progressiveness. But
we ask the court please to expunge
it all from the record. There isn't
a merchant in that town enterprising -
ing etiougli to carry an inch advertisement -
tisement in the local newspaper.
We take at all back. Poor Cam-
bridge.

from home sometimes to get the
