A device recently invented for the pro-
motion of deep breathing is likely to be
of value to f1at-chested, round shouldered
full, deep respiration of which so many
people are absolutely ignorant, it will
prove welcome addition to our hygenic
appliances. The device is small belt or
cord which encircles the chest at the
take-up mechanism to which the ends OF
the belt or cord is attached. The take-up
mechanism consists of coiled spring,
adapted to tighten the belt ut intervals,
and train of wheels, by which the
speed of the spring in taking up the belt
may be regulated. Upon the exhalation
of the breath, after the full expansion of
lungs, the chest returns to the size natu.
raj to it in ordinary breathing, thus leav-
ing the belt loose. Immediately the take
up mechanism begins to gather in the

people foot the bills for these Injuries in
one way or another. We look forward,
however, to law requiring candidates
under oath and proof to report their cam
paign expenses, and forbidding their en-
trance into Office, in case of election, if
such outlay exceeds what the law recog-
nizes as legitimate. Such regulation has
as yet met with no objection from any
quarter.
The San Francisco journal pooh-poohs
the nominating plan of the Federated
Trades bill as nonsense. 1t happens that
communities in number, larger than and
as intelligent as that of California, have
tested the plan, proved it good, and adj
here to it. "The forgotten man" cannot
run for office now if poor and if tabooed
by the boss-ridden convention. He has
no hope without money to advertise him
self, of even getting before the people.
Under the reform system he is, if in
dorsed by a fair number of citizens, put
upon ofhclal equality on the ballot with
the boss candidates or the creature of the
packed and caucus par-boiled conven-
ton.
1t is unfortunate for Judge Dibble's
bill that the Chronicle should find it pref
cradle to the Federated Trades bill, and
fortunate for the latter that the San Fran
cisco journal should SO persistently op-
pose it, and declare as impracticable the
very features of all others in it which in
New York, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ken
lucky, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and
other States, most commend the system
to the people and meet with the most EN-
phatic public approval. It clearly indi-
Gates the fear of the boss element that I'M

vocable for misconduct. All such detect
ives are to file bonds to faithfully and
honestly do the duty they assume, and to
answer in damages for any misdoing.
As rule, the private detective will bear
watching; his business is one that relates
so intimately to the courts and laws that
the State ought to exercise some care
concerning it,. for the protection of the
people who are the objects of private de-
tective work, or the clients of such of
ficers. The business of the honest, fair
dealing private detective will be assisted
by such supervision, and the retention of
State license will amount to an indorse-
ment, since the license cannot issue ex-
cept upon proof Of the upright character,
integrity and good reputation of the party
applying. 1t will thus enable State,
county and municipal officers to prevent
unworthy persons engaging in the busi-
ness.

slack of the belt, which it continues to
gather, and finally it tightens the belt
comfortable to the wearer, and compels
him to take another full inspiration, thus
frightening the belt. This frightening
is accomplished by the withdrawal of the
strap from the case, which act again coils
the spring. The spring, in turn, when
the breath is eXhaled and the chest re-
sumes its natural size, again begins to
gather up the slack of the belt These
processes are continued as long as the de-
vice is worn. 1t is claimed that the use
of the device induces full breaths at inter-
vals and thus naturally strengthens and
enlarges the lungs and chest.

A GOOD many partisan Republican
journals after the late election demanded
reformation of the Mckinley bill. One
of the foremost of these was the st. Louis
GlobeSDeanoc7,at. 1t now declares it's be-
belief that no such action will be had by
the present Congress, not even ito win
voters back to the party" 1t says:
These protesting voters believe in the fund
amental principles of the party as much as
they ever did, and cherish pronounced
pride In its past achievements; but they are
not satisfied with the way in which its affairs
have lately been conducted, and will not vote
its ticket If such management is to be contin-
ued. 1t is the duty of the Republican leaders
to face this fact squarely and deal with 1t in a
prompt and reasonable way, The lesson of
the late election is so plain that there is no ex-
cuse for understanding it. Those who say
that the result was mn accident are willfully
blind to its obvious and positive causes, and
the course which they are now pursuing is
calculated to bring about q similar calamity
two years hence.
This is very plain talk by journal
that was extremely partisan in it's utter
ances before the election. In later issue
still, it warns its party that the partisan
whip cannot compel men to justify what
they now discover was mistake. The
st. Louis paper is not alone in such ex-
preston, but it can be found in many col
umns that have never reflected anything
but Republican faith.

WALT WHITMAN does not believe that
we have national literature. Americans
will not accept the judgment. 1t is per-
fectly true that age is the true test of a
stable literature The writers who live
in their works far out Of their time give
country literature. But we have all the
evidences needed that American poets,
noyelists, historians and scientists will
live in coming ages in sufficient number
to prove the test in our favor. Therefore
we say we have national literature.

Protection TO Women.

The city of Appleton, Wis, is to be
lighted by electricity In this there is
nothing remarkable, but the reason given
for the resolution of the City Council on
the adoption of the electric light is an en-
tirely novel one-being that better light
than gas is required from the fact that at
present so many women are insulted
nightly in the streets.

The King Of Portugal is young
man, but he evidently has an old
head for Q king. He has refused to
help his Braganza relatives to try to
start in the imperial business in
Brazil. King Charles presumably
has no more love for republics than
the other fellows who wear crowns
and do nothing at the peoples ex-
pense. But he is not long out Of
school. He remembers that when
kings and emperors have gone from
any part Of America, they have
gone to stay. He is also aware of
tho fact that there is lively repub-

that it will not ito Tor him TO pro-

THE FREE SILVER ISSUE.

The issue between the Republi-
can and Democratic parties in 1892
on free silver coinage is already
made and must be fought out at the
polls with the greater issue of the
tariff. The boldness with which
Secretary Foster-in his address It
the Chamber of Commerce banquet
declared the financial doctrine Of
Republicanism to be the mainte-
nance of the parity Of gold and sill
yer, but not the shifting of currency
basis to silver by free coinage Of
that metal, is refreshing at a time
when Democratic leaders are at
tempting to relegate the free silver
coinage issue to the background.
1t demonstrates beyond dispute the
position that will be maintained in
Washington this winter by the i'd
ministration, and shows the tenor Of
the silver plank that will be enacted
by the Republican National Conven.
ton of 1892. The Republican party
is firmly opposed to free silver coin.
