Children should early be taught
care of a book. Avery little child can
understand that book must not be
thrown on the floor, or torn. or bent
backward, or maltreated in the fifty
small ways in which children are per-
mitted TO abuse books. Such habits
in children are due quite as much TO
ignorance as earelessness on the part
OF parents. Those who have no in
terest or affection for books them
selves are not likely to expect it from
their children. a reverence for books
is part of the love one bears them,
and people who have been brougt up
in an atmosphere of books, or who
spend much time in reading or study,
will naturally handle book respect
fully themselves, and insist that their
children shall do likewise.
There is much negligence shown in
the matter of returning borrowed
books, and this often by persons of
whom one would expect better
things For months after a book is
read it is allowed TO lie about the
house, and no especial effort is made
TO return it TO its owner That a
book should be returned as soon as
read, just as particularly as one would
return tool after using it, or gar
ment after wearing it, would appear
TO so without saying. Yet il is not
always the ease.
And ii is right to insist that our
children shall be as exact in this re-
spect. That they shall. after borrow
ing book, cover it neatly-if it be a
nicely bound one-treat it carefully
while in their possession. and return
ii promptly when finished. This is
not only simple justice TO the owner,
but such teaching win 20 far toward
making a child particular about the
property OF Others. rs.-HaFpsr's Bdzar.

thumbs up; she may be determined,
but she is not a liar. The one who

Hallway Exemption The state
a-..-..-..a - IL. n mn

on1ctte' ana the Tax Bill.
The attitude of the State Gazette on
the tax bill is not a little puzzing.
In the whole State II is the one paper
which strenuously endorses the bill
through thick and thin IN all It's
features.
The bill was, Of course, intended to
be non-partisan. and no party has
committed itself to its support; but
there was just enough of Democratic
influence about il to make us expect
that In view OF its desperate unpopu-
lari,y an INSCRIPTIONS political news
paper like the Gazette would lead the
erv against II, trying TO throw all the
odium on the Democratic party.
Tho only way we can explain its
actual attitude is by attributing II TO
the exemption which the bill grants
TO the railways 1t Is well known
that with the Gazette railway is first,
party second, and IL may well be that
measure which shows such great
leinency to this form of corporate
property finds favor in its eyes.
Ex-JUDGR WILLIAM T. HOFFMAN is
interviewed at considerable length on
the bill in a New York paper this
morning. IL is curious how much no
has 10 say about the triiles and the
side issues. the objections of small
and limited character, such as the
veterans $500 exemption, and how
very little he tells US about the funda-
mental monstrosities OF the scheme
the dual taxation of property, the
the obliteration OF security, the com
plete upset OF all existing relations in
respect TO mortgages ON real estate,
caused by tho change in the system of
imposing the tax. He says nothing
OF the imperial powers granted to the
State Board. He says nothing of the
trarnpling under foot of the Demo
cratic principle of Home Rule-why
should he, he is a republican, prin-
ciple which is not inconsistent with
State supervision, but is inconsistent
with powers which are beyond check,
beyond appeal, and which may be
exerted at the option of those who
WELD them with or without local soli-
citation.
These are some of the real ohjee-
tions to the bill, and these are the
things that none of its advocates will
discuss openly, for the very simple
reason that they are indefensible and
silence is the only refuge OF those who
favor them.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Post to-
morrow, in commenting on the nomination
of Stephen B. Elkins, as minister of war.
will say that Elkins was offered the port
folio last spring and last summer, but re-
fused it both times, stating he could not
accept it while Goff was unprovidad for;
that the latter should be recognized for the
time and money spent.by him in endeavor-
ing to promote the interests of the repub-
lican party in West Virginia. few weeks
ago he was again rendered the position.
coupled with the assurance that Goff would
get circuit judgeship. q. He then went to
call upon Mr.. Blaine.
What effect, asked Elkins, in the course
OF the talk, would my sappo' ntment have
upon your presidential chances next year?''
absolutely none" was Blaine's reply.
'As feel at present shall not be a candi-
date for the nomination.. However. should
there come to ME from the republican party
an overwhelming expression demanding
that accept the nomination, l may feel
constrained to put aside my personal feel
ings and accept the nomination. In that
case Mr.. Harrison will be for me, and
there will be no impropriety in your being
my friend also. On the other hand, should
Mr.. Harrison be the nominee. will not be
in the race, and therefore you will be his
friend. cannot zee how your acceptance
or declination will change the condition Of
things in the slightest degree, and would
advise you to accept the appointment
Whereupon Elkins accepted.

DISCUSSED THE BOYCOTT.
President Gompers, Of the Fedora
tion Of Labor, Advises Re-
stricted Use Of IT.
Decision Of the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court Severely
Scored by Him.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Dec. T.--At to-day's
session OF the American Federation of
Labor, President Gompers recommended
that the organization demand the passage
Of u labor law BY congress recognizing the
first Monday in September as legal holi-
day in the District Of Columbia and terri
tories. A resolution to that effect was
adopted. President Gompers spoke at
some length on the subject of the boycott,
saying that every local organization seems
to take upon itself the right to levy boy
cotts and to spread them before the entire
country. It seemed TO him that opportu-
nifty should be given for investigation, and
no boycott recognized nnlessa APP
proved by the convention or executive
council. He asked the convention to take
some action on this point. On the ques-
tion of union labels, he said the decision Of
the supreme court of Pennsylvania re-
Gently to the effect that inasmuch as wage
workers do not own their product they
cannot have label certifying to the char
acter of labor employed in its production,
will be, if allowed to stand, one of the Sc
verest blows which could be inflicted upon
the rights of organized labor. Gompers
severely scored the decision and said the
officers of the organization should be em-
powered to cooperate with affiliated
unions to secure legislation to overcome the
obstacles presented on the reversal Of the
decision in question.

slider the conflicting elements on the Pacific

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE national prohibi-
tion committee met here this afternoon for
the purpose OF deciding upon the time and
place for holding the next national conven-
tion TO nominate candidates for president
and yice-president OF the United States. II
was decided that no member Of the COM
mittee be granted more than ono votb, and
that proxies be received only from residents
OF tho same state in which the committee
man sending tho proxy lived. This threw
out number OF proxies and left Kentucky
without representation on the committee.
Each delegation was limited to twenty
minutes In presenting the claim Of its
choice Of place for the convention. The
committee finally decided tolocate the con-
vention in st. Louis. June % and 30 next.
The contest WAS between Cleveland, Gin
cinnati and st. Louis, and it took twelve
ballots to decide. The basis of representa-
ton was mado double the congressional
representation according to the new appor-
tI,onment, Io,, two delegates for the District Of
Columbia and one for every one Thousand
votes cast for Fisk in 1883.
