HARMONY

A good deal is beiag said now about
the restoration of harmony among the
conflicting factions of the Republican
party. The Republican party never was
much of an organization for bosses, as
this interesting class has found out. 1t
has its honored leaders, but whenever II
has passed under the domination of the
political boss it has suffered, and this
is the principal reason of its recent
troubles. This was the cause of defeat
everywhere last year. Those who are
cndeayoring earnestly to restore har-
mony to the ranks of the party can find
some advice worth following in these
remarks from the West Chester pa,
Republican: "If the leaders want har-
mony they must resolve TO do that which
will please the followers Unity is only
to come out of obedience to the will OF
those who do the voting. Resolutions
and promises are as sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal. Merits and deeds
are the hopes of the party. Build a
sound party platform, place upon it
good candidates and stand by them.
That is the way to bring harmony into
the party. Do not attempt to unite the
party because il is polite to do so. Do
it by right action, and make the uni1ca-
ton binding. Do 1t by observing the
principles which build up the party and
which are yet strong enough to bear il
on to victory" These directions are
simple, practicable and infallible.

But the returns in his favor are coming

washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The monthly
crop report for May will be issued by
The department of agriculture at the
usual time, late in the afternoon of the
10th inst. The returns from district
correspondents throughout the country
are uniformly mailed on the first day of
each month. Many are not received
at the time which the
final totals and deductions
are figured out, consequently all asser-
tions as to what the forthcoming report
Will show are merely speculative and
coDjectural. The department statisti-
clan himself remarked that no knoWl-
edge short of 0mniscience is sufficient
to warrant . positive prediction of re-
suits of final compilation of the one
hundred individual reports to the de-
partment in advance of their completed
receipts and examination.

The Proper Dinner Hour.


A good deal of attention has lately
been attracted by declaration made in
a paper devoted to the study of proper
food for MAN that good health could only
be secured by taking hearty meal at
midday. The writer went On to say it
was better for business men to take time
for substantial meal at midday than to
snatch the hasty lunch that is usual, for
the latter proceeding was simply inviting
fate.
This opinion attracted the attention of
some of our morning cotenporaries who
seemed to agree with it. Therefore, a
Commercial reporter was sent on tour
among well known physicians Of this city
to ascertain whether it is advisable and
healthfnl for active, pushing men to
stop in the midst of their days work and
consume hearty meal.
The majority of those spoken to laugh
ed at the theory thus propounded. An
eminent physician living in the upper
apart of the city said the reason why Il
heavy midday meal would be injurious,
while the evening dinner was really
healthy, was that business and profession
al men were generally in such hurry
in the middle of the day that they could
not spare time to masticate the food they
ate, much less allow it to digest before
rushing again to their work.
He had visited restaurants in the lower
part of the city between II and / O'Clock
in the day and had seen respectable men
grabbing and swallowing food the same
as hogs at a trough
This method of eating WAS decidedly
unhealthy, and it would be far better if
they would merely niblle hard cracker
during the middle of tie day, for they
| would have to masticate that and take a
little time over it. It was far healthier,
in his opinion, for professional men to
dispose of a hearty breakfast, say from 7
| to s o'clock in the morning, eat lightly
during the middle of the day, then take
time to their dinners after their days
labors were over.
A heavy midday meal would unfit
professional men for carrying on any
| business in the afternoon, as it would
make them heavy and sleepy, for nature
requires some kind of repose to aid diges-
| ton.
Another we'll known physician said the
| system of eating in this country was ri
| diculous, rs any person of common sense
would see The majority of persons
thrust three heavy meals into about ter
hours, and leave the body without a
fresh supply of food for the remaining
fourteen hours of the day and night. He
thought two good meals, morning and
evening, would be the proper plan, witt
perhaps light lunch of crackers and 6
glass of wine at about l o'clock in the
day. This would allow both of the heavy
meals to digest before next the wa
taken.
As to a heavy midday meal for meI
who have to tear around as if the mex
moment were to be their last, it is per
fectly ridiculous, as the food, instead O.
