The Lewiston journal hits the nail on

throwing their influence with those who
want reform Of neither .ort. We have
repeatedly cited facts 10 confirmation of
this view. But other facts are daily at
hand. For instance, the Democrats
ton, while the Republicans carried Della
ware. The result il that in Delaware the
Republican House ha. already passed IA
local option bill, while In New jersey the
Demo ratio legislature has undone a
good deal Of important reform work
iDaugurated by the Republicans. The
third patty people are respon-
sible for the New jersey reaction. The
following is summary Of the legislative
record Of New Jersey, Just closed, by the
final adjournment of the Legislature of
that state. A member Of the minority Of
that body speaks a. follows;
The record of the session was disgrace
from the opening TO the close. Moderate
temperance measures had been repealed, and
hypocritiesl acts in behalf Of the liquor in
lerests had taken their place; ballot reform
had been stabbed in the back, although de-
manded by the people irrespective of party ;
tried and faithful officials had been summa-
rily dismissed from office to make place for
dsreputsbie heelers. and the House itse II
has been defined by Democratic organs of
public opinion as body that had lost the re-
spect of the voters, and WAS the disgust OF
honest men everywhere"

a significant extract from a speech made
by an Engiishmzn named Tnderhill, at
meeting held in advocacy Of return to

have been ruined outright By free trade

efnigrate. and the money and labor which
they took abroad for the enrichment Of
other countries was just 20 much value
lo1t to England. Other had abandoned
their farms and gone 10 the towns, thus
depressing the price Of labor in an already
overlooked market"
The Inser-Ocean adds; Mr.. nderhill

talks. He might have added that the
value Of English farm lands has decreased
BY more than 80 per cent. 10 the last ten

EXERCISE FOR CHILDREN.
Instructive Gymnastics the Best Adapted
TO Regular Development.


TO Regular Development.
Instructive gymnastics is. from the
hygienic point of view, the best adapt
ed to the regular development Of the
child. 1t is not liable to any of the OBJ
jections we have brought against gym
nastics with apparatus. 1t can not de-
form the body, for it is made up of
spontaneous movements, and con-
formed to the natural Office OF each
limb. 1t does not localize the work in
a particular region OF the body, for all
the limbs are instinctively invited to
take their quota of exercise; and it
does not seduce the child into efforts
touching upon the limits of its
strength. Instinct also invites him
to the kind of work which is best
adapted to his particular aptitudes for
resisting fatigue. He has natural
disposition to perform light but fire..
quently recurring acts, quick motions,
which put him out of breath, while
exercises with apparatus rather exact
slow and intense efforts that bring on
local fatigue. Now, all observers have
noticed the wonderful facility with
which a child RECEIVERS his breath, and
his impotence OF local fatigue. FL
nally, natural exercise, being the sat-
isfaction OF want, is by that very
fact pleasure; and JOY shines in the
face Of the child who is playing freely.
