Pen AND INK FOR CHIIDREN.-One
main reason why poor writing is so general,
is that children do not take pen and ink
early cnou.h. Children who write nicely
upon states scncrlly write miscrably when
they first take pen and ink. They hold
the pen i'll Il crampcd position, punching
hard rs though fearful it would be jerkcd
away. They take too much ink and the
result is unsccmly blots. They bear on SO
that the point Of the pen frequently pune
lures the paper and the ink flies about in
4 shower o! small drops. 1t is 4 hcrculcan
task to get children, when they first take
pen and ink in the fourth grades, to habi.
tualIy hold the pen loosely, assume and
keep the proper position, and take little
ink at a time.
The secret of the difficulty is this. Chill
drcn write during the first two years with 4
slate pencil, and during the third year
with slate and lead pcucil. They form the
habit of bearing Oh because it is necessary
They are able to write with u pencil in one
Of many different positions, and they usu-
ally take and become accustomed to some
position uusutcd to pen writing. The
consequences is, that when they take pen
they arc confirmed in the habit of taking
that wrong position they arc accustomed
to pinhcing hard aud bearing on, the
very things they must not do if they would
learn to write well with a pcu.
The remedy, it seems to me, is to learn
to write with pen the first thing. They
would have no bad habits to unlearn, and
could easily be taught to hold a pen props
crly. vt this more tractablc age they
would mere readily follow the directions
given, and form the habits essential to
good hand-H X. Warren.

CHEAP MONEY NEEDED.-tluitc number
Of the business men Of Augusta have cx-
pressed themselves on the financial situation
in that city with reference to the conditions
which prevent sufficient supply Of money
at low rates Of interest.
President Hickman, of the Grantevillc
Manufacturing Company, says : There is
plenty of cheap money in tho country In
New York it can be had at to per cent
on call, and at > to 4 per cent. on time
with good collatc.als. The reason that
money is not cheap and plentiful here is
because we have nothing to give in exchange
for it. We have cotton, but the money We
get for our cotton has to be spent for meat
corn, -four and hay, and hundred Other
things that We ought to raise ourselves Nc
laws can be enacted that will make money
cheap in the South so long as cotton is raised
to the exclusion of everything else. He

A New Political Party.

1t is announced that the Knights
of Labor have formed a new political
party. The organization was effected
in Decatur, Illinois, and the platform
declares that the new national party,
to be known as the United Labor
Party, of America, has been organized
for the purpose of directing the great
political power of the industrial mas
SEES as a political organization, and the
members of it will cast their ballots
for no one who will not pledge him.
self to stand firmly by their principles.
The Knights call upon all voters to
unite in the effort to emancipate the
wage workers of the country from the
iron hand of the capitalists, and de-
clare that the alarming development
and aggressiveness of great capitalists
and corporations, unless checked, will
inevitably lead to the pauperization
and hopeless degradation Of the toll
ing masses.
AS the Knight of Labor and other
organizations in sympathy with them
now constitute the most powerful or
ganization of workingmen ever known
in the history of the world, if all should
unite with the Decatur branch in Or
ganizing a new political party, they
would make their influence felt in the
State elections next Fall, and secure
the elections of a large number of their
members or friends to the next Con-
gress, and, unless they abused their
power, perhaps elect the next Presi-
dent of the United States.

lignitaries of the Church OF Latter

rendering this advice to others he en-

was left out by mistake IN the origi,.-

State or Territorial jurisdiction, and
is not reached by United States law.
The Kansas papers say it is wholly
without a judicial authority, and is
consequently the abode of the worst

and criminals of all kinds resort to il

Rice of Massachusetts opposes the
essential clauses of Morrow's bill to-
amend the Exclusion Act, on the
ground that they are in violation of
our treaties with China. The people

whereas Americans in China can only
engage in trade at Twenty-Five treaty
ports, and they cannot engage in
manufactures. Several recent at
tempts by Americans to establish
factories at the treaty ports proved
failures, the Government absolutely
prohibiting the business. When John
Russell Young protested, arguing
that under the treaty Of Tient>in
Americans were entitled to run fac.
tories, the Ya,nen refused to accept
that Interpretation Of the treaty, and
naively replied: "You Americans

John T. Clark, wool-grower and
fiock,naster of Pennsylvania, spoke
before the House Committe on WAYS
and Means. After giving history
OF the growth Of the wool industry in
his section of the country, he reviewed
the condition # this industry under
the varions tariff acts. Under the
act of 1867, he said, the grower had
fair living profits. The act of 1885,
had injured the industry, and in 1884
and 1885 sheep worth 81 or S3 each
were sold at any price, 10, rs or :
cents, and many farmers had aban-
doned wool growing. The domestic
grower could not grow wool in com.
petition with the English grower or
Australian lands. If the industry
was 20 be broken down at home
spectators would control the market
and consumers would have to pa,
more for their clothes. The wool grow
ers did not ask for prohibitory tarit
but recognizing that the act of 1873:
was a step backward, they asked /
restoration of the rates of 1867.
