TO PARENTS AM CUARpIASs.

Considerable aud commendable attention
has lately been paid by the public press to
the important subject of the character Of the
reading furnished to children and young
people. 1t is not improbable that further
research in this direction will disclose the
fact that very pernicious influence is ex-
erted upon this class by the newspapers of
the period, although it is generally conceded
that the wrong-doings of our youth are
directly traceable to the influence of trashy
dime novels and flashy sensational serials
they are permitted to read. The discussion
has proved by statistics furnished from
juvenile reformatory institutions that the
majority of our youthful criminals are read-
ers of this class Of literature. Their boyish
imagnatiOns and ambitions are worked upon
and aroused by the fictitious experiences
therein related of heroes of romance whose
characters are depicted in anything but n
moral light, and with anything but moral
lesson. Bold adventure, daring theft, sneak
ing intrigue, murder, assassination, corrup-
tiOn, and immoral portruyals of the human
| affections, are the prominent features upO.i
which these romanccs rely for popularity,
and the fact that thousands of them are in
circulation, and that each one reaches n
large edition when IL strikes popular
chord, proves that this reliance Is profit
able investment That 1t is an investment
| prolific of indi-posed evil, no one will deny
in the presence of these facts. How TO

And it is easily answered Parents and
guardians have only to carefully supervise
all the reading matter they permit their
children and wards 10 read Whether il be
newspaper, magazine, or book, its char
actcr should be closely scrutinized before ii is
placed within the reach Of the plastic minds
and eager reach of young people. A grand
bonfire, fed by the thousands of volumes
large and small, aud the editions of immoral
political, news, aud literary papers of the day,
would prove to he blessing to the country
But the boosted freedom Of the press, ever
when II trenches upon the verge of bawdy H.
censc or is iniiucntially provocative of crime
is the safeguard thrown around the publish
ers of these worse than inccndiary publica
tons, and the only ccuntcrac,ioa that car
bc invoked is the one we have suggested
Morllists may seek other methods of relic
and attempt to convert these money seeking
publishers from their wicked disregard o
the consequences of their profitable bls
ness. But they will fail. The true remedy
lies within the command of every head of t
household, and the fault lies there also i
the remedy is not applied.

No expert JENKINS is required to describe
the toilette of this comfort-secking dame,
for it begins generally with one garment

THE people are being instructed in many
ways to due appreciation of the present
House of Representatives. They feel the
Oppressive influence of its many blunders of
omission and commission, which Is of itself
q forcible method of instruction. But there
are other agencies at work, not the least
effective of which is the publication Of PAM
phlets and electioncering documents by cam
paign committees aud other political organ
izations. Among the latter is the Principia
Club, of Cambridgcport, Mass. In its eighth
chapter" which appears as neatly printed
pamphlet of twenty-iour pages, we find the
following brief though iorcible charac,criza-
ton of our dearly beloved ex-Contederate
Congress:
The Forty.lfth Congress is disgrace to the
country. Never in any previous Congress
have We had 50 few statesmen, 81 many mem
bers below mcdiocity, so many notorious
drunkarls, and so many bogus members whose
constituent maiorities have been unconstitu-
tionally DISTINGUISHED. OF such material is the
Democratic majority which is now running
the nation to ruin with railroad speed.
