PTGS-THE Old FAMILY JOURNAL.

Whe.hero or not Judge Hoge has lin Jeffar-
son today more friends DESTROYS Of seeing him
returned ID Congress than he had before ms
FIRST nomination, +" the Free Press. we oplne, VIII
find will be decided alphabetically in the mega
tive bv asolid delesation from this county IN
the next Democratic Congressional Convention
for the Hon. D.mielB. Lucas-a Democrat who
has never stood back vhea there was a call TO
work forhis party, and who. IN The dark hours
OF Radical misrule. hCsitatcd not 20 bcITu tae
lion in his den, and has since never failed, IN a
single campaign. 10 do Trojan work in the cause
of his party, and for the Advancement OF inc
interests of his people and his State. II 1t be
true that the labOrer is worthy Of his hire
surely our able countyman should receive some
consideration at The hands of lds party and
especially the solid and hearty support OF the
people Of hisowr ccunty.-Spirt Of Jegcrson.
Nobody doubts the democracy of Hon.
Daniel b. Lucas, and there is no sense in
the Spirit exhibiting d chronic disposition
to obtrude the subject of his democracy.
In his choice of delegates he doesn't, We arc
sure, make an especial point TO obtain all
such dved-in-thc-wool democrats as himself.
1t must be remembered that there is d large
conservative element in the party opposed
% reprbNeanism, and there are good men,
able men, too, who work for good govern
ment and oppose the bad, and beard the
lion in his dem when necessary-who new
cr fail in OF ont Of = campaign 70 do valiant
service and yet they set up no special
claim to a seat inthe coanselsof %thenation.
1t is" III the pertinent language of Judge
Hoge, for the people always to determine
who shall represent them. No man, what
ever be his pretences, has a right to claim
that distinction, or to usurp a prerogative
which belongs to the raople exclusively"
The SDirtmust not too b%olstingly assert
that the Jefferson delegation will be solid
for Mr.. Lucas. Circums afacs alter cases,
and the same delegation that chung tcna-
ciousiy To Mr.. Lucas at the last Convention
much upon County love and County pride
would not prove 50 solid this time. 1t
would. as will a new dleeation, recognize
the custom of returning "a Congressman,
and the other and ncoatrorertiblc fact that
judge IIoge has been faithful, able and Is
influential, and has at 10 time left his du-
ties in Congress tj lock after Political fences
or engage in party maai?uiatiols.

Projection for French Juveniles.

The French government is taking
some practical steps to prevent that
deterioration of race which is result
of undue pressure on the Juven-
lie population. Too much study is,
as harmful for the children of the
rich as too hard work is for the chill
dren of the poor, and with foresight
which does the French nation credit,
efforts are being made to ameliorate
both these conditions. 1t is trueiSm
to remark that the boys and girls of
to-day are the parents of tomorrow,
and tilat puny, understood, I'M
healthy generation is incapable OF pro-
ducing a race fitted to hold its own in
the great battle of life. To facilitate
the proper physical development of
Young people some important restric-
lions have Just been placed on the EN-
ployment of children. Hard work in
mills is to be entirely prohibited in the
case of boys under sixteen years OF
age and girls under eighteen; whilst
in certain dangerous chemical fac
tories. and in manufactures which are
injurious to health, child labor is alb
solutely forbidden. The paternal
care of the state goes so far as to
make it illegal for boys or girls to
draw trucks in the streets, and to
strictly limit the weight to be drawn
inside factories to a hundred kilo-
grammes, OF rather less than half
a hundred weight, inclusive of
the vehicle. The foregoing re-
strictions will undoubtedly be
beneficial to the country at
large. The introduction of an i'm
proved type in the printing of school
books has now been made compulso-
~, in the hope of arresting diseases
of the eye, so prevalent amongst the
children, and it is worth consider
ing whether such reforms may not
with advantage be tried in this coun-
fry
