THE Radical tactics, as developed in
this county on the eve OF the election,
contain much material for reflection,
though nothing for imitation. We
have been always accustomed to expect
that political managers fired with par
tisan zeal and intent upon success
would impart perhaps little coloring
to the truth at times, and at other times
possibly give their party adherents the
stimulus of an ingenious and plausible
fiction. But this has generally been
relieved by some OF the graces of art
30 that they who may have been de-
ceiyed were at least amused with the
deception, or half pleased with the sa.
worry relish and cleverness of the trick.
But we have in this county certain
poiiticians-men Of weight to, and of
parts-who.sc orn to festoon their coarse,
clumsy, club-footed canards aud false
hoods, with any Of the ornate trappings
or tinselry which might help hide their
hideous deformities. Who, in the whole
history OF Marion county politics, recol-
lects to have seen such a bald faced
batch of foolish and absurd falsehoods
as were sown throughout the county on
election day and for a few days prev
iops2 We are sorry that such a prosti-
tuition should lose its reward. But it
will be rewarded in the next world, no
doubt, If We may confide in the accounts
we get OF that country where the princi-
pal business is weeping and wailing and
gnashipg of teeth-Iharion County Lib

Would it not be just as well for the
Radical press Of the State to cease de-
nouncipg the Convention, now that the
people have pronounced in its favor? ?
Assertions that the Convention would
certainly abolish the free school system
and do many other very unwise and I'M
popular things did well enough as scare
crows before the election, but now that
the election is over and the people Of the
State have shown that they don't scare
worth cent, it might be just as well
for the Radical press to cease from
prophesying evil and lend whatever aid
it can give to the work of eliminating
from the present Constitution the errors
itcontaips and framing a new law more
in accordance with the present wants Of
the people Of the State, The Convention
will not ruin the State" and it is
wrong to hold out the idea that
it will, no matter how earnestly you
may have opposed the call, There is
general determination to make none but
the most prudent and able men in the
State members of the Convention, and
we may be well assured that their work
will be very carefully done. If the
Radicals were to show some respect for
the popular will, and some confidence
in the people Of the State. and some be-
lief that all who have favored the call
of a Convention are not natural born
fools, they would probably be able to
exert q better influence than now, and
DO some good in promoting the welfare
Of the people at large.

The First BLACK Law.

The first Black Law, land it was
very black was passed in Ohio,
January 5, 1904, which required ev-
cry black person to produce a certifi.
cate from some court that he was
rree; that no white person should
employ a black man unless he had
such certificate, under a penalty oil
from $40 to $50; that no white per
son should harbOr or secrete a black
person, the slave of another, under
"a penalty of $50 &c. In each case
one half of the fine was to be paid
to the informant. It contained
other provisions equally odiOus, un-
just and severe. These black laws
have long since been wiped from
our statute books, furnishing anoth-
er evidence that the enlightenment,
justice and humanity of our day are
superior to and above the bOasted
''good old times" of our fathers.
Had a certain party, not necessary
to mention, been kept in power,
such laws would have remained in
force and every man in the State
have continued a slave catcher

Laughing Good for Health.

Probably there is not the remotest
corner or little inlet of the minute
blOod-vessels of the body that does
not feel some wavelet from the
great commissions produced by hearty
laughter shaking the central man.
The blood moves more Hvely-prob-
ably its chemical, electric or vital
condition is distinctly modifcd-it
conveys a different impression to all
the organs of the body, as it visits
them on that particular mystic jour
ney when the man is laughing, from
what it does at other times. And
thus it is that a good laugh length
ems mans life by conveying a dis
tinct and additional stimulus to the
vital forces. The time may come
when physicians, attending more
closely than they do now to the in
Vulnerable subtle influences which
the soul exerts upon its tenement of
clay, shall prescribe to a torpid pa
tient so many peals of laughter, to
be undergone at such and such a
time, just as they do now that more
Objectionable prescription-a pill, or
an electric or galvanic shock and
shall study the best and most ef-
fective method of producing the re-
quired effect in each patient.

The Dernocraffc PARTY.

We cannot forbear to quote the clos
ing remarks Of Senator AIortOn's great
Louisville speech. He says:
The Democratic party, by history, ed-
ucation and tradition, is incapable Of re-
form. You cannot engraft reform upon
it any more than you can engrsft a live
branch upon a dead trunk, or place p
new roof upon a tumble-down house
with rotten rafters and crumbled fOun-
dation. It has already outlived its time,
and ought, for the good Of the country
to pass away. If the new departure has
been taken in earnest, there is no eL-
cuse for its living another day. It's re-
pentanca should be Of the deathbed
character. 1t should ask only to be for-
given, not to live. But it seems to re-
tain the remarkable theory that by con-
Tossing its crimes and protesting to adopt
Republican principles it is entitled to
supersede that party in power, and thus
| acquire a title over those who have been
doing right all the time. The pretended
new departures but a development Of
the irrepressibls conflict in the Demo-
cratic party. It thus eonfesses that it
can't succeed upon its own principles,
and that the time has come when it
should pass away, and, as a political or-
ganization, pass away forever.

There is structure which every
body is building, young and old,
each one for himself. 1t is called
character, and every act of life is
a stone. If day by day we are care.
full to build our lives with pure, no.
BILE, upright deeds, at the end will
stand a fair temple, honored by God
and man. But, as one leak will
sink ship, and one flaw break a
chain, so one mean, dishonOrable,
untruthful act or word will forever
leave its impress and work its in.
fuence on our character. Then lei
the several deeds unite to form 9
day, and one by one the days grow
into noble years, and the years, as
they slowly pass, will rise at last q
beautiful edifce, enduring forever
to our praise.

anything strange and unnatural that
you choose, but a Democratic party
which upholds the 18th amendment,
which forever prohibits slavery and
involuntary servitude, except FOX
crime, the 14th amendment, which
would make a citizen Of DTed Scott
liz he were alive, and the 18th
amendment, which brings black
men to the ballot box, these cannot
be imagined. The leopard wiz
change his spots sooner. The lead
ers may resolve it, but they can not
bring the rank and file to face the
music; they viii balk when the
word is given to fall in. Nature In
that case win be stronger than grace.
Mr.. Blair speaks truly the Demo.
cratic sentiment when he says:-
"None of the reconstruction meas
ures, so-eaHed, would have been
adopted if they had been submitted
to the people. They have been fore
ed seriatino by fraud. The eOnstitu-
tional amendments have bean adopt
ed by coercion in the South, and in
defiance of the known will Of the
people of the North. Perfdious rep
resentatives Of the people have be-
trayed their trust, and fixed a yoke
upon their necks."
The conclusion from this is evi-
dent. If the reconstruction meas
ures have been adopted by "fOrce
and fraud" then the Democrats, if
they are honest, when they get into
power will repudiate the whole af-
fair, and put US back to where we
were when Buchanan left the Presi-
dental chair.

Very Rad .sSpeIIs.''

At the late session of the Orange
County New York; Teachers Insti.
tute, each teacher was given certain
words to spell, and was required to
write them out on paper. The list
of the words-fty in number-dic-
tated to the teachers, was the same
that had been used in institutes held
in several of the counties in this
State. with the following results ;
In Ulster County sixty per cent. of
the words had been incorrectly
spelled in Green County sixty-six
per cent /; in Saratoga County sixty
seven per cent; in SchOhaire County
sixty four per cent; in Madison Co.
seventy per cent; in Chenango Go.
sixty-fve per cent, and in Orange
County ffty,seven per cent. The
report of Saturdays exercises show
ed that the word "cachinnation"
had bothered the teachers more than
any other. In the ninety-f five pa
pers examined, there were no less
than fifty different spellings for this
word. These included all kinds of
combinations of letters, after the
true spirit of English spelling, of
course, as was remarked by PrOl.
Fradenburgh.
In the ninety-four papers exam.
ined, there were 1858 misspellings-
an average of twenty-eight.
The "hard words0 were as fol

The Newburg journal, in closing
up the report, says there is one re-
deeming feature in the achievement
of the Orange County Teachers In
stitute. The per centage of words
misspelt is slightly less than that of
any other institute that has been
tested. But the shocking work
which all the institutes have made
is a sad, yet faithful commentary on
the disgraceful neglect of this i'm.
pOrtant branch of education.

The question of compulsory ed
ucation is coming up in a number
of the States. 1t already exists in
Massachusetts and Texas. The law
of the latter State oOmpeIs all young
persons between the ages of six and
eighteen to attend school four months
in the year. In some instances it
works rather hard. There are a
great many young wives in the
State under the stipulated age, some
with one or more children, who
have their household duties to at.
tend 10. To compel them to go to
school with their babes in their
arms, at the expense of their do
mestic affairs, is asking rather toe
much for the benefit of education
