Physical Exercise.

Our institutions of learning,
until a very recent date, con-
fined their attention principally
to the development of the mind.
Though it is a matter of highest
Importance that a sound mind
should be in a sound body, yet
they did not consider that the
cultivation Of the body came
within their province.
Progressive thinkers, how
ever, have wrought wonderful
changes in our seats of learning.
Today the gymnasium is con-
sidered a necessary adjunct to
every institution of learning.
Athletic exercises receive the
approval and encouragement of
teachers in our universities and
colleges.
Proper physical exercise is un
doubtedly in many cases a pow
erful curative agent and de
velops and makes robust, weak
and sickly organs. Physicians
and others who studied tn,
therapeutics Of exercise will
readily admit this fact.
The schools are progressing
in the right direction. Physi,
cal development and menta
culture should be carried for
ward at the same time, if W,
would have vigorous minds il
athletic bodies.

Headsman Garrison.

The selection of Headsman J..
S. Clarkson to succeed Quay as
head of the National Republic
can Committee will give salts
faction to the place hunters and
boodlers of the Republican
party. He earned his appoint
ment in the postoffice depart
ment under Harrison by the
part he took with Quay and
Dudley in the "blocks Of FIVE"
and Doodle campaign in which
Harrison was elected. He be-
came popular with the worst
element of the Republican party
and gained the title of "chief
headsman" through his whole
sale slaughter of competent Of
ficials to make room for the APP
pointment Of the striker and
boodler element of his own
party. The pressure of an indig-
nant public sentiment against
his methods drove him from Of
flee and gave him opportunity
to become the fitting successor
of the corrupt and corrupting
Quay in the position which that
notorious and INSCRIPTIONS pol
itician has just resigned. His
election to the Craftsmanship of
the National Republican Com
mittee does not mean a change
for the better in the campaign
methods Of that committee.
Clarksor is but the political
double of Quay and will stick
at nothing which his predeces-
sor practiced or may suggest.

HOW THINGS LOOK FROM
OUR STAND POINT.
The Opinion Of The Editor and the
Opinion Of others which we
Can Endorse on the Various
Topics Of the Day.

Alr. Edmond Atkinson writes an
article for last weeks B-adstreet'S,
entitled, "Why Trade is Dull" He
says there is neither activity, enter
prise nor confidence, and that these
adverse conditions are due to the
danger of bad legislation. Referring
TO the South and West, he says:
"By their own act they have cut
Themselves Off from credit. They
have impaired the confidence OF
those who possess the capital or who
control it in permitting their men,
bers of Congress and their Senators
TO strike blow at the credit Of the
money in which their transactions
must be conducted in voting for the
tree coinage of silver dollars of full
legal tender"
And he goes on to say the worst
has not been reached "unless legis-
Iators come t. :he next Congress ful-
~ prepared TO maintain the credit
of the unit Of value and to forbid
the issue of cheap money"
The above is the lamest effort yci
made by The gC Id bugs to frighten
the people away from their righteous
demands for more dollars, cheaper
dollars and t'rccr dollars. In tact
the above will be rather amusing
even to those whom DIR. Kingsbury
classifies us common people.
