have always been a republican, I'M
til recently; published a republican
newspaper for several years, and was
true to the party while serving it, so
long as thought it true to the princi-
pies adhered to, but when l under
stood that it no longer did that 1 no
longer remained with them. Party
Maine amounts to nothing, and no man
should stay with party just because
of its name. The thing which aroused
my attention and put me to thinking
on this matter was the fight between
Mr.. ClarkSOn, chairman of the Repub-
ican national committee and st. John.
Those letters of ClarkSon's, published
in the Globe Democrat eliminated the
republican party and indicated st.
John. They did not show that st.
John ever offered to sell out, but clearly
the reverse, while they did show
the attempt to buy him. Now is it
worse to sell than to buy. Great heav-
ems, has it come to that point that the
republicans must buy their way into
power? If so, it is time for respecta-
BILE people to get out of it.
The time is coming in and is just
about here when the leading prohibit
ton republican, rohibitionists of Kan
sas are coming with us. There is moth
ing left them to do, otherwise. John
A. Martin sold them. He promised
during his campaign last fall that he
would enforce all executive laws as CIV
en- to him upon the statutes, and he
has refused to do so. The Capital says
he can't, for it's not in his hands. Well
didn't he know that then as well as
now? Why did he promise it? His
conduct toward the prohibitionists of
his party is drawing them from the par
ty. He don't do what he might do to
protect them. The raid on Khron at
LeavenwOrth has tanned him in his par
ty advocacy and the Dodge City riot is
helping Griffin on. Hear what he says
in his paper, referring to the Governor
sending soldiers to the southern part of
the State against the Indians: lone
very notable difference is that the red
| devils have no votes, while the ruff
ans of Dodge City and their friends

If the Indians had been voters in Kau-
sas, the reports of their dOings might
have led to a fearful sucking of thumbs
about the cadital in Topeka, but the
chances are that, instead of the really
vigorous policy pursued. some promi
nent official would have gently suggest
ed to the savages that if you don't let
the law be enforced and stop driving
peaceable men away, I'll raise hell.'''
Now, friends, considering all these
facts, can see no way out except thrO'
a new organization, and while we may
disagree, let us disagree kindly and
study for the truth.

Hunting tho Reindeer.

describing the methods practised by
the Esquimaux in hunting the Rein
deer, Lieutenant Schwatka says in the
New York Times: Advantage is
taken of the reindeer's slight aversion
in fact, almost fondness-for the
water by those natives near the Artic
Sea who are not provided with fire.
arms. Wherever there is large lake
or wide river they build little stone
monuments looking as much like the
human figure as possible, about 100
yards apart. along the crest of ridge
extending obliquely into the water.
and inland probably two or three miles.
If a band of reindeer is found grazing
inside the angle formed by the shore
and line of stone monuments Skin
mish line of Esquimau hunters is de-
ployed around them, and the deer, sup
posing that the stone piles are also hu.
man beings on the other side, take
readily to the water, where the hunters
pursue them in their kiaks, or light
skin canoes, spearing them or shooting
them with arrows. Our sledge jour
ney of nearly ayear in length was
nearly ended and terrible gale was
raging which rendered travel impossi-
BILE. There was no meat within, and
out in the storm all the hunters went,
most of them returning within an
hour and reporting it was useless to at
tempt to hunt in such gale. Moth.
ing daunted, Toolooah continued his
search to the south, and there he
found the tracks Of three reindeer,
which he followed at a dog trot in
wide circle, which brought him north
of the camp about the same distance
six or seven miles. This made run
of some II or Is miles in all. He Sc.
cured all the reindeer and by nightfall
had them in camp. OF such stuff was
my best hunter made, who that day
closed the total score of the expedition
at 532 and 236 for himself.

Read Less and Think More.

The late Charles OConor, perhaps
the most profound lawyer New York
city has produced, gave piece of ad.
vice to a young man which is as valua
bic as any legal opinion for which the
distinguished lawyer ever received 6
fee. A lad wrote to him, giving E
long list of books which he had already
gone through, and asking advice as te
a course Of reading. Mr.. O'Conor re
piled that "he had not only not read
but had not known even by name one
half of the books his correspondent ap
peared to have read. He would moi
therefore, undertake to advise him
what to read, but he could safely ad
wise him to read less and think more
This anecdote comes from a recent
number of the Century.
The advice was not, however, origi
nal with Mr.. O'Conor. In the Phila
delphia Ledger some time since an ol
der authority was quoted to the SAINT
purport. Probably the same sount
wisdom could be traced to the time O
the invention of printing. "Read less
(of trash } and think more" has pith
mess which makes the advice all the
more easy to keep in mind. And fol
lowing it would enable the temperate
reader not only to think, but to re
member more of what he reads
Remembering more would giv'
practical value to the idea,
acquired and the facts obtained
Perhaps Mr.. O'Conor's opinion
on reading is to be qualified littl'
by his practice. 1t seems that hi
reading was very much confined to thu
purpose Of his profession. No doubt
this limit increased his wonderful
efficiency in his pursuits. But il
would be great abridgement of menta
freedom to restrict the reader to hi!

Amount Of Exercise REQUIRED,

DR.. Parkes has calculated that the
amount of exercise man in health
should take regularly is equal to walk
ing nine miles day on level ground
The amount of walking done in walk
ing about the house and other domes
It'd duties may probably be put down
as three miles, which will leave only
walk of six miles per diem on leve'
ground. If the ground is billy, this
will be still more reduced, so that il
certainly does net seem Al excessive
amount to advise. The proper quan'
tity must, however vary greatly with
circumstances. Females, for example
will not take as much as men. In
winter more may be taken than in
summer. In youth, when the body is
undergoing its most active develop
ment, care must be taken that every
muscle is exercised in its turn. Hence
the free use of gymnastics, games. and
sports at this age is most beneficial
In advanced life the power and incli-
nation for exercise both fail, but ever
then every effort should be made te
prevail upon the individual to take
some amount of exercise, and to post
pone the evil day when he will become
completely bedridden. Such an amount
of exercise is in all cases necessary as
will keep the mucles in good health
and enable them to meet the phyisica
requirements of the rest Of the body

The POlyraminOid.

The Polyraminoid is shaggy little
animal confined to a limited range in
Central Africa, and has not yet been
classified, but will doubtless be fully
described by some future naturalist.
The most startling peculiarly of the
Polyraminoid is it's mode of defense
When an enemy approaches, it at once
turns itself inside out and roars def
antly at the intruder from its impro'
vised fortress. A little Polyraminoio
was sauntering leisurely along one
day when a tiger suddenly appeared
upon the scene. The Polyraminoid
inverted itself, and after giving def.
ant yell, communed with itself; Sure
ly, some kind power watches over me
How lucky it is that can thus defy
all enemies. l surpass the greatest
