Bodies vs.. Brains.

Probably no subject so important in its
I relations to health and happiness, has
! been SO much overlooked as that relating
to physical culture. There can be no ex,
cuse for this on the part of intelligent
parents and teachers. And especially Is
there no excuse for neglect to take ample
outdoor exercise in a climate like ours In
Utah. Wishing to call the attention
and thought of the readers. of the DEMO
Graf to this vital subject, we subioin the
following taken from the New York Her
aid:
ga man without muscle is as badly Oft
in this rough and tumble world as man
without brains. Parents take pride In
their children when their heads are
packed like pawnbroker's shop with all
sorts of odds and ends of information,
but they do too little to encourage the
symmetrical development of their bodies.
They forget that robust health consti-
tutes about three-quarters of the problem
of human happiness, and that it is crimi-
nal neglect of the highest welfare of the
boy and girl to keep them at their books
until they lose all appetite for out of door
sports.
Half the men in the world are broken
down with dyspepsia and the other hall
are broken up with rheumatism. The
women, who are not suppose to have any
muscles, indulge in the luxuries of sick
headache and neuralgia. A half hours
vigorous exercise in the morning before !.
the business of the day begins, brisk
walk of dozen miles would sweeten the
temper and make life worth living. Such
is our physical condition, however, that
if you should turn number of ordinary
citizens into gymnasium for an hours
torture with. the parallel bars and fifty
pound dumb bells and the inspirating
trapeze, you would have to pick them up
from the floor like chestnuts under a tree
after gale of wind. Our clerks, and
their employers also, after three hours
on hard road, with leap here and
there over fence or ditch, would have
to be brought home in furniture wagons
and large proportion OF them deposited
at the undertaker's.
We have not vet learned the secret OF
right living. No man lives well who
does not soend hours every day out OF
doors. We are asthmatic, rheumatic,
spleeny and hard to get along with at
home because we believe in brains and
not in bodies"

Tilden's Letter on seacoast Defenses.

Mr.. Tilden has rendered the country q
timely and important service in his let
ter urging Congress to take up the mat
ter of seacoast defenses. Addressing
himself formally to Speaker Carlisle, but
In TACT to Congress, Mr.. Tilden appears
as the advocate of national sovereignty
and national defense; and he tenders the
congressman of all parties eminentlv
sound advice when he admonishes them
that Ito leave our vast interests defense
less In order to reduce the cost of whisky
to Its consumers would be a solecism ,,
Adequate national defense is a matter of
much greater Importance to the country
than reduction of revenue The tax on
whisky may be left where it is. and the
accumulating Treasury surplus wisely
used to supply proper seacoast defenses.
The United States is apparently con-
vlneed that all offensive weapons have
been beaten into ploughshares and prup-
ing hooks, while the lion and the lamb
have lain down together with the lamb
outside the lion), and that this happv
state of affairs will continue for all time
to come. We are in the position Of =

and valuables in plain sight, and open to
the attack of every robber. With enor-
nous wealth concentrated in the seaport |
cities, these places are exposed to the at
lacks of any of the naval powers, and the
nation is powerlesS to save them from |
nlunder. AS Mr.. Tilden saws. a million
soldiers stationed on the heights sur
'ounding the harbor of New York could
lot protect that city from destruction
~ a small squadron OF war steam
RS armed with long range guns; and /
he only recourse would be to open the
banks and money vaults and pay what
ver ransom might be demanded. From
galveston to Portland, every seaport is in
ne same condition. With the new de-
ices for removing torpedoes heavy war
essels might make their way up to Wash

ment has spent SO, 900. 900 to build and
repair the American navy, and to-day the
American navy stands without rival in
naval supremacy because the United
States have no navy. For this condition
of affairs the country is indebted to the
Republican party.
On the value of Yankee inventive
genius" in case of an emergency, Cen
eral Newton puts a proper estimate:
"Should, however, the evil day come to
find us without modern guns, without slf-
ficiency of torpedoes, without Notifications
except the sand heaps which form the staple
quotation, without emplacement for the guns
if we had them, or magazines or machinery
for unloading or manguvring, or any facil-
tiles whatever for shelter of guns or canon
eers against shells and machine guns, it is to
be feared we would not cordially welcome
the prophet who, having opposed timely
preparation, promised that in the supreme
moment, when the hostile ironclads, what
ever their strength and power, should ap-
proach the harbor of New York they would
be turned back somehow, without explain
ing how, by Yankee energy, Yankee skill,
Yankee inventive genius 1t is to be feared
that the first flash of the monster guns
would dissipate this oratorical vapor emitted
when the danger was far off, and leave the
deluded hearer to realize the fate of the
blind who follow the blind"

THE COAST DEFENSES.

The recent letter of Mr.. Tilden to
Speaker Carlise on the matter of coast
defenses has created universal interest
In the matter. Very recently Major-Gen-
eral John Newton, Chief of the Engineers
OF the United States Army, has been
giving his views on the letter and its SUBJ
Ject to the New York Sun. General
Newton is of the opinion that Mr.. Tilden
has studied the subject thoroughly,
and that the conclusion MIR. Tilden
reaches cannot be disputed. At pres
ent, the outer line of Notifications
OF New York are about seven miles from
the city, says General Newton, but these
fortlhcations are not yet properly armed.
In response to the question as to the
range OF the biggest guns, he said it was
about thirteen or fourteen miles, but that
the practical range on shipboard would
be much less, owing to the impossibility
CT giving high elevation and the danger
to the decks of the ships if thev could
accomplish it. From this it appears that
while the range of the guns is great, vet
the difficulties in the way of taking ad-
vantage OF that range on shipboard are so
great as to materially lessen the range.
General Newton is of opinion that guns
OF the greatest capacity can be made in
this country as well as in Europe. He is
also of opinion fhaf If o,r borhor. - /
put in state of defense on the plans now
contemplated and in accordance with
scientific principles, that such defense
would be complete for many years to
come, as Improvements in the art of war
in the future will be very gradual,
and will not revolutionize by any
sudden increase the scale of velocities
now given to projectiles. So long has our
country been at peace with the world that
the people have been lulled into false
security, and from this the country seems
now to be gradually awakening. The
fact is forgotten that to put the ,,
chlef ports OF the country in a proper
state OF defense, years in place of months {
would be required. As General Newton I
says, LET it be well understood that the
modern system is to make war sudden. ,
sharp ana decisive, and TO make the ii
beaten party pay expenses And in /
This connection it would also be we'll to l l

The COnlpany Needed

There are life and accident insurance
companies. There are also companies
that insure against marriage, divorce and
eeiopement, and now, in Milwaukee, is
founded the "Provident Dispensary," a
company that insures against sickness
and pays up when a patient finds his
liver no longer a running river of harm
less merrlment. One more: Let us now
nave a company to insure against good
health, and pay up when fellow is we'll.
All the rest seem to encourage death

GALVESTON.


A Small Blaze and No Great Loss.
GALVESTON, October 15.-Abou,
10 o'clock tonight flames were dis
covered in the rear building Of
Alderton & Co.'s flavoring extracts
and spice works, on the south side OF
mecpanic street, near the corner Of
Fwenty-second. The building was
an old story and half frame struc-
tnre, located In the business center of
the town. The fire quickly consumed
the building and It's contents.
The new paid fire department did
not acquit itself in any too c.editable
a manner. The fire was under con.
troll before either of the three steam
ers had hitched ON to their hydrants.
The hose companies were on tho
ground aud at work with two
streams from the salt works before
the slow-going steamers appeared.
The fire burned fiercely for short
time, caused by the combustible
fluids used in the works. The loss
to AldertOn u Co. is about $4,000; In
suranoe, $500. The glassware and
crockcry establishment adjoining on
the east side, sustained an unnecessary
loss OF about $500 to their stock,
caused by the firemen throwing a
stream through their upper story
front windows. May & Wainwright,
gas filters, adjoining the burning
premises on the north side, also sui.
ierod damages of $500. The fire is
believed To have originated sponta-
neously from chemicals.
Last Sunday, on the arrival of the
Mallory steamship Conal, the long
shoremen, to the number OF about
$50, struck for higher wages, which
they claimed had been promised
them. They had been getting 40
cents an hour for day, and so cents
for nigh, work, aud demanded 80
cents for both day and night work.
This was very material increase,
from the fact that most of the work
Is done during day hours. Captain
j. N. Sawyer, the agent of the NAL
Tory line, was absent at the time, and
his chief boss, Robert Ross, held a
consultation with the men and prom
ised them so cents per hour all
around, which satisfied the men, and
they went to work unloading the CO.
NAL. Captain Sawyer returned to
the city, and on learning of
the concession that Boss
Ross had made, he was
very angry aud declared that he |
would not ratify such an agreement. |
The longshoremen were Informed
this evening that Ross concession
would not hold and Immediately they |
quit work again and declare they |
will not go to work tomorrow ON
the steamship Texas, which has just |
arrived with a cargo. The strikers
are all while men and are not mem
bers Of the Knights of Labor or any
other labor organization.
The arrivals to-day were: Steam
ships-Propitious, from Savanna, aud
the State of Texas from New York.
The Comal has been waiting TO cross
the outer bar for the past iwenty-four
hours, the north wind causing low
water on the bar, but she will proba-
bly, sail tonight.
