EXERCISE FOR GRACE.

why Women Rfze from n Chair Very
Much rs the Doll of Their Child Does.
Has anybody told you yet, little woman,
that you don't know how to rise from q
chairp Well, you don't. The act, as you
perform 1t, suggests the movements OF the
Rat faced, jointed wooden creature you
loved best when child, because she was
the ungainliest of all your children, and
everybody else laughed at her and at you
for cberishing her most. But you did. and
you made her the very finest gowns and
most astounding turbans you could devise,
and kept her in your arms most OF the day
and put her close by your pillow when you
went 10 bed at night, and perhaps that is
partly the reason why you sit down and
rise up with some suggestion of her ancient
grace.
But you should have learned better
things, little woman, all these days that
you have been hearing so much about ply
steal perfection, and the dress reforms, and
the body reforms, and the Delsartian graces
and all the rest And you should have
learned that the reason you rise like your
wooden doll is because your joints are In
exactly the same infexible and unyielding
state that hers were. The secret Of grace
of body is suppleness Of joint. 1t really
takes oil the poetry out of the matter, you
see, 60 discover that the elegant sinuosity
of movement that marks the vera dea'' is
altogether question of mechanics, and
depends upon the ease of motion in the va
rious hinges that connect the different
members of the human frame. But it is,
and so the thing for you TO do is to get
these hinges into easy working order as
soon and ms completely as possible.

practicing various graceful poses before a
mirror, as women who haven't got hold of
the secret OF the thing are wont to do, but
begin with supplying each separate joint
In your body in this way. Turn the fin
gers round and round on the axis of the
hand; turn the hand round on the axis of
the wrist. Turn the forearm ON the elbow
and the whole arm ON the shoulder. Then
turn the head on the neck-slowly and as
far round as you can You will be sur
prised to see how easily after a few DAYS
practice your face will come TO be where
your back hair was a moment before
Now try turning the trunk on the waist
line, the legs on the hips, the lower half of
the leg on the knee and the foot on the
ankle. A steady, constant practice of this
one turning exercise every day for one
month until every joint is as free and
supple as it can possibly be made will give
grace and freedom of motion that seems
well nigh incredible to one who has never
tried 1t. The most important of these
movements are those that turn the body
on the waist, the head on the neck, and
the legs on the hips. Just notice the next
graceful woman you meet and see for your
self how much her grace of movement de-
pends on tue free and supple action of the
trunk and the waist and the hips.-New

Honest Laborer.

huntington Advertiser:
One of the letter writers in the
villainous Quay conspiracy to col.
onize West Virginia with negro es
for Republican purposes, had the
brazen hardihood to say, when
questioned about it, that he wanted
to get lot of honost laborers in
West Virginia. The laborers of
Cabell county, for example, should
take this act of supreme scoundrel-
ism under advisement. 1t is de-
liberate, we'll planned scheme to
overrun this community with an
undesirable population for pure
Republican party purposes. If
this crime, laid bare, in all of it's
hideous relations is not enough to
shock the conscience of conservative
and honest West Virginia Republi-
cans, then their consciences indeed
are dead. The man who sits in the
American Congress from this dis.
trict has given his assent to this
monstrous thing and says that he is
in sympathy with it. Ifevery other
charge ever brought against the
Republican party were false, and
this one charge alone were true it is
enough to forever dam with deep
disgrace the scoundrels who uttered
it and the party that sanctions it.

The great bulk of the working
men of this country are not fools by
any means, and they are fast get
ting their eyes open to the fact that
the Mckinley Tariff Bill is a par
tisan measure in direct conflict with
their interests, and does not benefit
them in the least. Their wages will
not be increased, and they will be
compelled to pay more for every
thing they consume. The only class
of people that will be practically
benefited by this new tariff law are
the manufacturers and those that
it specially exempts from foreign
competition. The Republican par
ty is not the friend and champion
of the masses-it is the rich mans
party, and its policy and measures
are dictated by the monied kings of
this country.

work. But it may be otherwise,
provided the eloquent and touching
plea of Senator Sherman to his
friends is complied with. 1t all re-
mains to be seen. The tariff law
will be on trial. The people will
have to wait and see where their ben
eft is going to come in. Unques-
tionably there will be more or less
revival in manufacturing industry;
whether at higher wages is another
matter altogether, this too, is in the
hands of Mr.. Sherman's particular
friends. Just how much absolute
regard many of the beneficiaries of
tariff legislation have for the dear
people is being illustrated just now
in the rush of imported goods at
present duties, which will be sold
to the dear people, over the counter,
at the prices which will be set by
the new tariff. This will not be
part Of the profits Of the mannfac-
turing class, but Of another, close in
sympathy with them. The dear
people DO not go down to the wharf
and buy their foreign stuff by the
yard, or piece. or package, getting
the benefit of low duties; they only
get their supply after two or three
middlemen have each taken a big
bite. Well, it has been great
"campaign of education" and it will
go right on. The American people
are learning good many things
they never knew before, and it may
be in a little while the politicians
will find out that they have not
been TO school in vain.

The rnrin IsnTnx.

The mill-owner to the farmer
"The tariff is not tax"
1t is the Mckinley Bill that is the
matter with business just now.
A farmer has no rights which a
protected mill is bound to
respect.
"The tariff is not tax"-on the
mill-owner, and this is a mill
owners Government.
Mr.. Blaine proposes Reciprocity
only with countries which have
farm products for sale.
The farmer must go-into the
county poor-house or into protect
ed mill to work as wage slave for
a protected mill-lord.
The Gazette presents its compli-
ments to the REGISTER, and assures
them that "the tariff is not a tax"
The Mckinley Bill will drive q
00O, 900 surplus farmers from the
land they till, "freezing out every
one who has a mortgage on his home.
A protective tariff averaging GO
per cent. oughtto produce 800, ,OOO,-
900 for the Republican campaign
fund of 1892. if those who will make
enormous fortunes by it this year
have some of the fat fried out of
them.
The Mckinley Bill will foreclose
every farm mortgage, for it taxes
our payment for fourth of the
farm crop over 60 per cent.-or 10
per cent. of the full value of each
farmers crop. Farming cannot pay
this yearly tax and survive.
England not only offers us reci-
procity, but buys from us over twice
what we take from her. But Eng
land has only mill products to sell,
and reciprocity is TO be limited to
countries having farm products for
sale. These foreign farm products
are to be purchased with the sur
plus products of our protected mills.
The editors of the Republican
newspapers throughout the country
propose to furnish their subscribers
with both domestic and imported
mill products at the Liverpool price,
to prove to them that "the tariff is
not tax" You believe it, of course;
but do not subscribe for one until
he promises to do it.

When g. b. Smith comes down
here to solicit votes ask Kim what
right he has to expect the people of
a farming community like Wayne
county, to vote for him after he has
voted for bill that increases their
expenses of living, to build up mo-
nopoly in Pennsylvania and else
where. Also ask him how he has
the face to come among you after
voting for the abominable Force bill
which is intended to deprive you of
a free ballot and fair count.
Tell Mr.. Smith that when he was
in Congress he was ruled in his
voting by the dictates of partisan
caucus instead of the best interests
of his constituents and that the peo-
pie have concluded that when he
said, not long ago, that he was not
fit for Congressman, he told the
TRUTH wayne Netcs.

Beecher's Advice to his Son.

Henry Ward Beecher is said to
have given this advice to his son
when discussing what profession
was best for him to choose: aIf you
want to make money, my boy, z
said he. abe lawyer. Ifyou want
to be slave, choose the practice of
medicine. Journalism will make
you a cynic. IF you take pro-
fessorship you will very likely be-
come a pedant. A clergyman is the
recipient of all the sorrows of his
church, and is supposed to relieve
the wants of all those who are too
lazy or shiftless to make their own
living. A lawyer gets curses very
often to keep his dollars company.
A doctor get blessings to console
him for the lack of them. A journ-
aIist gets deal of knowledge and
much wholesome experiences. A
teacher gets in time large
amount of very stiff back bone, and
a clergyman-wcll, he gets the most
and the least He is the richest and
the poorest of all Gods creation.

The practical operation of the
tariff law will prove the Republican
falsehood that the tariffs not tax,
and that the burden of the high
tariff will be borne by the foreigner.
The working of the Mckinley law
will open the eyes of the consumer
to the necessity of a reduction of the
tariff. The voter will be confronted
with arguments in favor of tariff
reduction by the storekeepers that
cannot be resisted.

Mr. Capehart is pursuing a course
SO gentlemanly toward his opponent
and SO persuasive toward the people
that the enemy are at sea how to
counteract the headway be is maE-
ing among the voters. As result
of various consultations it has been
agreed-the evidence of Smiths
weakness being too palpable TO be
dishonored-to resort to the use of
Doodle. That is an argument that
has convinced many a wavering
voter heretofore, and its efficacy is
time tried and fire tested. The
Doodle campaign is to bc conducted
on basis of confidential secrecy,
and every time a voter gets the
money he is to furnish an affidavit
of the unassailable integrity of the
boodlers. This is no campaign scare
crow. The Republicans have money
and lots of it. They are prepared
to pay higher rate than the regu-
lation price. If they can buy
enough votes to elect their candi-
date they intend to do it. The
Democrats being forewarned should
be forearmed. The law against vote
buying is strict, the penalties are
severe, and it being in the interest
of fair elections, integrity at the
polls, and an honest expression of
public sentiment, the Democrats
should spot every rascal that en-
cages, or attempts to engage in the
nafarious business-SentineI
