One of the most Objectionable prac
tees in recitation is the habit, still
tolerated in many schools, of the
children thrusting up their hands,
beating the dir and swapping the fing-
ers whenever special questionisput to
one of their number. The result is con-
fusion of the mind and intimidation
of the spirit Of all save the few whose
power of rapid phrasing and ready
reckoning brings them to the front in
this cheap sort of comparative recita-
ton. Every pupil in class has a
right tc quiet and respectful atten-
ton, and ample time and favorable
conditions for putting his knowledge
of subject into suitable language

coughs, colds, Group, hoarseness, and
is indispensable to orators and vocal

AS an illustration of the effects Of

that "glass goblets that formerly sold

Bro. Reid, of the Allegan Gazette
is assured that if any items clipped
from the Gazette have been credited
to the Journal and Tribune, it was
unintentional. We are extremely
careful not TO put one mans words

cases. both are apt to complain; be-
sides we mean 20 be exactly just to

racy the Detroit Times says: "The

A good hotel is necessary to the
life OF any place, and when such
hotel is secured the enhanced pros
perlty of the town is ensured. We
never saw this fact more perfectly
illustrated than in the history of "The
Hastings House." at Hastings, in this
State. When Mr.. N. +. Parker
took the House it was all run down,
no good rooms, and very little custom.
He purchased the House, reftted and
refurnjshed it, set frst-class table,
ana all Is changed; now the House is
very literally patronized. The table
is the best that We fad at any hotel
in place Of its size in the State, the
rooms are in fine order, and the beds
arc fit to sleep in. Under the man
agement Of Mr.. Parker, and nor,
while Mr.. Parker is at tie Worlds
Exposition in New Orleans, in charge
of his accomplished clerk, man that
was made for just that place, Mr.. w
f. Finley, we do not believe there is
a hotel in the State deservedly more
popular, with the popularity based ON
real merit, than is the Hastings
House.

A Word With the Boston Jour-
nal.

The Boston Journal of Friday quoted out
of Its connection a sentence in this paper of
Tuesdays date, regarding the New England
vote and accuses us of seeming desirous of
belittling MIR. Baine's strength as a cand!-
date" The PRESS neither belittled nor exag-
gerated Mr.. Blaine's strength. 1t gave Mr..
Blaine's vote accurately in each New England
State according to the latest returns using
the Boston Journals figures, except where
later returns were more favorable to Mr..
Blaine. There was a smaller total vote
than might have been anticipated and a
smaller Republican vote. The PRESS did
not allege that this was owing to Mr..
Blaine's candidacy. 1t asked proper ques-
tion as to the causes of this fact, and two
days afterwards gave its own answer 10 the
question it had propounded-an answer
quite consistent with the assumption that
Mr.. Blaine was, on the whole, as acceptable
and popular candidate for New England as
could have been nominated. This article was
in the Journal Office, or should have been,
on the day before its ill-.empered insinua-
tion was published, and all the conditions
favorable to Mr.. Blaine which the Journ al
mentioned on Friday, and many others
equally pertinent, were clearly set forth in
1t. Indeed the Journal would have made a
better case for Mr.. Blaine if it had quoted
that which the PRESS had said.
The examination of the Journals article
shows how easy It is to play tricks with sta
t'stics. That paper says: 'If the PRESS
had scrutinized the returns with care it
would have seen that, e1cIuding MasSachu-
sets. the other five New England States
The Portland daily press., 1884-12-08

showed, in the aggregate, larger Republi-
can plurality for Blaine than for Garfield
The PRESS saw that, nor did it conceal the
fact, for in the very article alluded to the
vole for Blaine and Garfield in each State
was separately compared, so that no intelli-
gent reader could fail to see that the losses
were chiefly in Massachusetts,. Hitherto, IN
abiding to New England as whole, we
have thought that Massachusetts, which has
population larger than that of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode Island
combined, ought to be included; but if the
Boston Journal insists that Massachusetts,
shall be excluded when the political status
of New England is considered, perhaps the
Republicans of Maine in their present tenn
per will hot be unwilling to crafty it.
The Journal, as reason for excluding
Massachusetts, says that sit has never been
pretended that Mr.. Blaine was the strongest
candidate that could have been chosen for
Massachusetts" Let us see how this method
of dealing with statistics will work if gener-
ally employed. Suppose the Boston Herald
or Portland Argus should say that it had
never been pretended that Blaine was not
the strongest candidate that could have been
CHOSEN for Maine, and therefore, in COM
menting OH the vote Of the people of New
England. Maine should be excluded from con-
sideration. We need not go into any COM
putaion to show how favorable an exhibit
for the Democrats might be made by that
method. 1t is enough to say that the Boston
Journal would be prompt to join the PRESS
in denouncing it as grossly partisan and un
fair.
On the whole, then, we are still of opinion
that it is not desirable to set the example of
excluding from consideration those States
in which the vote was unsatisfactory,
whether the suggestion emanates from
Massachusetts or from Maine; but that
it is just to include all New England fairly,
when referring to the vote of New England
as whole, being careful, as we were care
full, TO guard against wrong generalization
by plainly stating the exact truth with re-
gard to each State.

Some one has furnished the Lewiston
Journal with partial list Ia complete list
would look like a. Democratic Directory of
Portland's ''non partisan patriots with Dem
ocratic leanings" who are willing to fill the of
fees. For the collectorship the only Portland
name mentioned is that of the Hon. Bion
Bradbury, though the Hon. Daniel Fl. Thing
of Mt. Vernon is understood to have an Itch
ing for the place. The Hon. S. c. Andrews
and the Hon. Charles FL. Chase, better
known as ''The Tabulator," mention them
selves frequently for the Surveyorskip
There is quite flock of candidates for the
post Office, among them COL c. B. Merrill,
Gen. John J. Lynch, J. S. Palmer and Capt.
John W. Deering. For district attorney
Hanno W. Gage, A. F. Moulton, Col. John
c. Cobb and Col. A. W. Bradbury are in
the field. For the marshalship there appears
to be no Portland candidate, but it is not
anticipated that it will prove difficult task
to find man willing to fill the Office. The
Hon. A. S. Kimball of Waterford it is be-
lieved, might be prevailed upon to accept it.
