THE condition Of politics in Indiana
where II was estimated that there were
30. 600 ''foaters" in 1888 is evidenced by
the behavior Of the Indiana editors ir
Washington this week These editors
attended reception given by President
Harrison, and were allowed TO prone

and refresh themselves with ic'
water, when they could find the
coolers. But to make the relations
existing between their President
more apparent this gorgeous welcome
from Harrison was accepted in kind. Il
the President was Indifferent they were
Insulting They felt that the Republi
cans Of Indiana had not been recognized
and the President felt, probably, 'al

time for the editors to show their emo

carried for Harrison, and whom Presi
dent Harrison has snubbed and frozen
away from the White House. That
President Harrison is not too good tc
recognize political services Of the Dudley
sort is shown by his behavior toward
Quay and Malone. How he should re.
ceive those into his confidence and reject
Dudley is incomprehensible, except on
the theory that he esteems
it safe to snub Dudley and not
safe to snub Quay or Malone.
This incident is an apt illustration of the
low condition Of political sentiment in
the state which gave us Dudley, Harri-
son and Clarkson, which contains 10000
'hoaters" and was carried by Blocks Of
Five bribery. The President Of the
United States snubbed their great man
and TIE editors snubbed the President.
They not only failed to cheer the Presi-
dent, but to make their disgust emphatic
they cheered Dudley. Republican poll
tics is peculiar. 1t is difficult to under
stand how an honest and self-respecting
man can adhere to the party

Even If nothing has been said to that
effect, IL is evident that the graduates Of
the present day have rejected the drastic
and stupid words Of advice and warning
which have been addressed to them by
the clerical speakers ever since the days
Of Job.
These speeches are impracticable. dull
and intensely inappropriate, Even the
''sweet girl graduate" Of to-day need not
be told that her school training
is only the beginning Of her
education She is not fool because she
is sweet, amiable, young, symmetrical
strong, pretty and full of enthusiasm.
Even she knows that some things can be
learned best in youth, when the mind is
docile and receptive She knows that
other things must be learned at other
times that the great mass Of the
knowledge possessed by man is acquired
through experience obtained only by
long years Of living in the world, and
by continuous study and obser-
vation. 1t is like an old
gag, OF the metropolitan minstrel car
ried into the country town by light
opera troupe, to tel giIl of to-day that
she has accomplished only the the frst
the youthful part, Of her education. II
she does not say chestnut, she thinks
IT,
The result Of the attention paid to
hygiene and to athletics is that the type
Of the race Is much higher physically
than it used to be, and the improvement
shows itself in both men and women.
They are both growing taller and OF
more symmetrical proportions; and yet
the athletic movement Is in its beginning
only. It win tell more on the generations
succeeding, for it did not extend through
society generally, until within very few
years. Now there is not aschool boy who
Is mol inhamed with emulation for
athletic superiority, and whose chief
heroes are not champions Of strength and
endurance. There is not girl who has
not desire to be strong, graceful.
sturdy, self-reliant as well as symmet.
rical and beautiful.
Both the boy and the girl have learned
that, as the body strengthens, the mind
also gains vigor and that strong mind
condemned to weak body is an abnor
NAL condition frequently disastrous tc
both and never advantageous to either.
Both know that athletic training ne
cessitates self-control, self-denial, absti-
nsnce, correct habits and the subsection
Of vicious tastes and propensities. II
also generates self-respect, the conscious
ness of power, self-reliance, fortitude
courage, persistency, the habit of facing
difficulties, and the capacity Of husband
ing every resource for supreme effort
That 1t fits man or woman for the
struggles or the graces Of life, makes
them more valuable to society as tn,
transmitters Of the best characteristics
Of the race.
The preachers might well vary theii
style Of antiquated advice to tell IL,
girls and boys something fresh, some
thing sensible, something pertinent
They might tell how their own physica
education was warped or neglected il
youth, and how their mental efforts wer
thereby retarded or Ineffective in life.

WHEN rich man in Philadelphia pro

stern rebuke Of an honest man. II he

to Mrs. Harrison she accepted It. She
accepted it notwithstanding the fact
that her husband occupies the highest

Ia is curious that every important bill
considered in the present House has
needed from one to six new rules. On
Tuesday, when Speaker Reed was forced
to allow consideration of tie coinage
bill. new rule had to be made to meet
the case. OF course it is easy to under
stand the difficulty Of making rules for
the purpose Of suppressing the minority,
which win be just and equitable at the
same time. Hence, when the majority
wishes to consider a piece Of Legislation
about which there is diversity Of
opinion among themselves, it becomes
necessary to change the rules to make
them apply fairly to that special case.
Otherwise some Of their numbers would
be as unfairly and as unjustly treated
