caused a resident OF the city of Mil
waukee to journey TO and abide for a
brief period at one of the cities Of
Maine. A leisure hour prompted him
to test the mooted question that re-
lates to the enforcement of laws re-
straining the liquor traffic in that
state. Numerous inquiries brought to
his acquaintance an individual who
was able to point to a building in
which tie traffic was clandestinely
pursued. A verbal triangulation of
the sinuosities of the route enabled
him to reach a rear apartment; the
point, Spuyten Duyyil, where he be-
held a man seated at table, with a
tumbler within convenient reach. A
deposit of a dime occurred, and the
overcoated individual, seated in a
chair, drew forth from a side pocket a
decanter having upon its outer side
words ever tempting to those who have
acquired unpleasant appetites and
swinish propensities. The foregoing
facts necessarily attest that the dealers
in intoxicating drinks in Maine are
few in numbers, and it is unquestion-
ably true that those who attempt to
pursue that avocation occupy the line
of outlawry in all parts of that state.

The coarse personalities which OF
late have characterized the debates in
the House of Representative are to be
severely reprobated. The encounter
between ButterWorth and Cox and be-
tween Robson and Whitthorne are
discreditable specimens of parliament
tary controversy iscreditable to both
sides, and they will receive nothing
but condemnation at the hands of a
righteous public opinion. To use Ian
guage too obscene to go upon the re-
cord, or to stigmatize a representative
as thief, liar and perlurer, may
add spice to the proceedings and graft
fly the sensationalist, but such episodes
are very much out of place in DELHI
erative body, and it is encouraging
that the press has exhibited a DISPOSE
ton to denOunce such practices with
out any reservations for political IA
vorites. There ought to be schools for
discipline in debate, and expectant
members of Congress should be put
through a,course of training to enable
them to hold their tempers and con-
fine their remarks in debate, however
animated, within the reasonable and
proper limits of disputation. Person
alities are not arguments in any sense
the indulgence in them only shows
that legitimate arguments have been
exhausted, and personalities come in
to cover up the deficiency adison

We find the following good words
for Hon. Chas. G. Williams in some of
our exchanges:
/" Hon. Charles g. Williams is rapid
ly distinguishing himself as chairman
OF the House committee on foreign af-
fairs, and it is conceded that never
before has this committee had such an
able and vigorous head. He has the
reputation of being the best lawyer in
the House, and, as a statesman, stands
IN the first rank, being considered the
ablest representative that Wisconsin
has ever sent to Washington. The

WASHINGTON. july 10th. 1882


Another anniversary of our Nation
al Independence has come and gone.
Tons of powder have been burned and
rivers Of beer and Whiskey have been
drunk. If the manner in which the

Republic is destined to survive through
many coming generations. If the

perpetuity of the Union the nation is

Time brings about marvellous chang
es. Fifty years or less ago men and
women in city and country, clad in their
Sunday best, repaired to the place APP
pointed, to listen to the orators recital
of the causes of separation from the
mother country; the heroism of our
Revolutionary forefathers; the often
poorly clothed and scantily fed soldiers
sometimes shoeless and their foot
steps tracked by blood in the winter
snowfall this to achieve the freedom
and independence of our country. In
this great city, where the patriotic
fires of the Revolution ought never to
go out, there was no demonstration ap-
proprlate to our national anniversary,
except a small gathering, which at
tracted no attention, known as the
Oldest Inhabitants Society. This socie-
ty was described in the TELEGRAPH a
year ago. 1t is composed of some six
ty venerable old men, who still cherish
the spirit of the Revolutionary pa
triots. They annually observe the 4th
Of July in strict accordance with the
customs of half century ago. This
society seems to be the only remnant
left in Washington of the old-time pa
triotism OF the Revolution. The spirit
that animated our forefathers in the
early days of the country has been
transmitted through the generations to
little band. Almost every conceiya-

EFFECTS OF TOO MUCH BRAIN
WORK FOR CHILDREN.

On April %, Dr. Richardson, f. r.
S., delivering a lecture on National
Necessities as the Bases of Natural
Education" before the Society of Arts,
brought forward, writes F. c. S. the
following extract, which happened to
be a report of the chairman of the
evening, Mr. Edwin Chadwick, G. b.,
to the British Association in 1860, to
show what an evil effect too much
brain work, without AZ proportional
amount of industrial occupation to
support it, has upon young children:
"In one large establishment, con-
tanning about six hundred children.
half girls and half boys, the means of
Industrial occupation were gained for
the girls before any were obtained for
the boys. The girls were therefore put
upon half time buttons, that is to say.
their time of book instruction was re-
duced from thirty.si hours to eighteen
per week, given on the three alternate
days of their industrial occupation, the
boys remaining at full school time Of
thirty-six hours per week, the teaching
being the same, on the same system,
and by the same teachers, the same
school attendance in weeks and years
in both cases. On the periodical ex-
animation of the school surprise was
expressed by the inspectors at finding
how much more alert, mentally, the
girls were than the boys, and in adj
vance in book attachments. Suisse
quently industrial occupation was
found for the boys, when their time of
book instruction was reduced from
thirtysix hours week to eighteen
and after while the boys were proved,
upon examination, to have obtained
their previous relative position. which

Matters in the First District are
liyening up, politically. There is a
feeling generally expressed that Mr..
Williams should be returned. There
are but few men in the House of
Representative who have made bet
ter record, and his services have been
such that not only in his district, but
throughout the State and in national
politics his name stands among the
foremost for sterling honesty, purity
of purpose, and usefulness in serving
his constituents. The papers through
out this district are discussing the
matter, and, so far, have spoken heart
lily in his favor. What opposition
there may be is consigned to few who
were disappointed in the matter of APP
pointments. The lat or feature is not
confined to any district, and all Con-
gressmen are more or less attacked in
the matter. Mr.. Williams has fulfilled
his duties in all cases, conscientiously
and with due regard to fitness He
has conformed to civil service doc
trines nearer and oftener than Con-
gressmen, as a rule, are in the habit of
doing. AS to appropriations, he has
not wasted the peoples money. When
ever points in his district really needed
government appropriation, he has sue
ceeded in bringing it about. He has
not wasted money for purposes that
were of no earthly good, just so as to
please a few. His speeches in the
House have been manly, courageous
and effective. His record has been one
that has always championed the OPP
pressed. His votes will challenge any
member for being what was honest
and right. AS matter Of fact, con-
sidering the lifelong principle of Mr..
Williams, and the years he has been
in Congress, there is but very little of
the professional politician about him.
We believe the First will honor
itself by returning Hon. Chas. G. Will
liams again to Congress- Racine

PARTIES IN OREGON.

It is certainly becoming evident to
the most casual observer, that the Re
publican party in this State is becom-
ing so disrupted that it will soon lose
the advantage which the last four years
immigration has gwen it. Not one of
it's eminent leaders has clean record.
The younger generation that is coming
to the front do SO as the followers and
worsh;pers of some notorious chieftain,
thus hoping to pick few crnmbs
from the swill-tub of public patronage.
In time these young men will become
party leaders. THY have imbibed the
worst ideas of our political system;
their manhood is entirely crushed; they
seek to hoodwink the people and aim
only at their own selfish ambitions. A
party with such stuff as leaders must
60 to the wall. On the other hand de-
feat has purified the Democratic party
of this State. Old political hacks,
having no spoils to fight over, have
taken back seat and younger men
and new faces are found OF the helm.
We candidly believe that the younger,
progressive Democracy of this State,
has more ability and patriotism, grit
and backbone, than any political or
ganization in the Union. That it is
bound, from the very nature of things,
to soon counterbalance the majority in
this State and to obtain control over
the destinies of Oregon, needs no ar
guments to substantiate The fact of
the case is that there are not enough
Offices to go around with the Republi-
cans, and the Democracy, having no
hope of public spoils, is led by pure
me from patriotic motives.

a PARTY'S DOWNFALL.

It requires no prophetic vision
to foretell the downfall of the ke~
publican party. It has become
too corrupt to longer exist. It's
deathknell was sounded by the
open revolt OF the people against
Cameronlsm in Pennsylvania.
The keystone State will next No,
vember, with hardly the perad>
venture of doubt, pass over into
the hands of the Democracy
When once that happens and bets
ter laws are passed guarding the
ballot-box In Philadelphia, res
moving the notorious frauds that
have given that city to the Re-
publicans tor many years, Penn
sylvsnla will become what corrnp-
ton aud fraud have kept her from
being, strong Democratic State.
This alone will elect a Democratic
President In 1884. The situation
ls hardly less critical in New
York and the two factions of the
Republican party IN that State,
the Halfbreeds, under the leader
ship of Gov. Cornell, and the
Stalwarts, under the guidance OF
Conkling, with Secretary Folger
as a figurehead, will come to open
war to the knife before the cans
palgn fairly begins. The untor-
tunate dissension in the Demo-
cratic ranks Of that State, which
Brought about the defeat OF Han-
cock, no longer exists. It will be
an easy matter for the Democracy
to carry the Empire STATE.
Thus in a 81 ort time all signs
indicate that the Democracy will
gain control OF the two greatest
States OF the nation. That such
great advantage to the party
means the election of Demo.
cratic President in 1884, requires
no keen insight into political af,

Amounts to total Of $510,013 IS
At the close of the fiscal year
1879 and 1880, there were certain
deficiencies IN the appropriations
of 1878, amounting to S31,9 S6.
These were provided for by ap-
preparations made BY the LegIsla-
tive Assembly in 1880. Besides,
there were existing CLAIMS paya-
BILE out of the said $57,794 26,
which, with the amount OF said
appropriations, would consume
nearly all the above specified sum.
Hence the revenues and receipts
tor the said years 1881 and 1882,
before mentioned, were, in fact,
nearly all the resources the State
had, with which to defray tie ctr
rent expenses for those years.
The current expenses during
the fiscal years 1881 and 1882, IN
ciudlng the appropriatiors and
claims above referred to; also,
relief to Mrs. Stinson, the Paris
Exposition, and Jackson county.
and the sums appropriated for the
State University, Mute school
and Orphans home, before men-
toned.
The result is that there remains
a balance belonging TO the State
amounting to about the sum
of $110, 900, over and above all
expenses and legitimate claims,
for the two years named; and
which can be devoted to any
proper use that you may deem
advisable.
