PARTISANsHIP.

A member of one of the houses of Con-
gress recently declared in a speech be-
fore that body: "No matter at what
sacrifice, the paramount duty of every
member of the party is to keep the party
in power"
The declaration was defended in the
interest of the party-which one is imma-
terial-on the ground that the party
represents sound governmental and social
principles; its domination is, therefore.
patriotic and in the best interest of the
State and nation.
This is high-sounding plea, and to
many minds will doubtless come with
force. But we submit that it is speclous
and dangerous. Because q party prin-
clple relative to governmental policy is
sound does not insure safe and honest
administration.
1t is matter of history that partisan
administrators do not always-nay, very
frequently fail to adhere to party prin-
ciple. but do direct their efforts more to
maintenance of party power for selfish
advantage than for conservation of the
general interests of the people.
The expression of the statesman" is
the voice of the politician whose ideas OF
politics are never superior to party spirit.
All loyalty is due first TO the nation :
party is but vehicle, means, an in
strument, and whenever it fails or is
inefficient, true craftsmanship refuses to
be bound by it. Party cannot be placed
before country and the latter not suffer.
The true politician is he who esteems
country first, and who will sacrifice
party and party fealty to it at any mo-
ment when the necessity arises.

greater importance and more of emphasis
10 the fortnightiy or monthly patriotic
exercises in the schools. But that is not
enough, gentlemen. 1t is good as far as it
goes, but good citizenship must be taught
that is to say, the duty and the privilege
OF the citizen, and the relation he occu-
pies to the State, Nation, and his fellow
citizen, must be taught, precisely as you
would teach grammatical construction
and the fundamentals of mathematics.
1t is of high value to teach lad how to
analyze word, segregate it as to rovt,
prefix and suffix, and ascertain its mean
ing by its building parts; but it is equally
OF high value to teach him to analyze the
reason for his citizenship, out of what it
arises, and what are the duties it imposes.
That is ''civics," pure and simple. 1t is
That which must be taught if we are to
grow up from this time on body of loyal
men and women, equal to the task of see
ing clearly as Americans and loyalists in
the midst of the yapors and fogs of social
ism, anarchism, crankism, false individ-
uallsm, nationalizationism and all the
other fads, isms, foreign notions and idi-
otto propositions to reform society. and re-
construct the political fabric.

HARPER'S
Pictorial History
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at SI6 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I64xII4 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots OF maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn' t
afford sI6 and kept asking for the
old "Harpers Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was SO inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into rs big parts, ~
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever before e-and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.

That slave purchases should be pun
ished at Cairo, Egypt, is something of a
surprise. 1t indicates the influence of
European civilization in the far East.
Anti-slave laws have been dead letters SO
long IN Egypt that it really seemed as if
the only way of reaching the slave dealers
was by their pursuit in the wilds of
Africa. If, however, their market is as
sailed successfully there will be an end

A GENUINE REFORM.

The Albany Journal thinks that some
day monument should be erected in
honor of the women of marlborough,
who have for some years insisted upon
taking their horseback exercise astride.
They have assured themselves, and for
tify the conviction by the opinions of
physicians, that riding on one side is un-
healthful However that may be, every
horseman knows that it is injurious to
the horse.
But the women of Brattleborough are
unit regarding horseback riding, and
have devised a costume that permits
them to ride astride and still preserve in
costume an excellent semblance of rid
ing skirt. The marlborough women
are of social prominence, and their def
ance of the conventional has so far spread
that the summer guests have fallen in
with their idea, and even Boston women
are advocating it
One of them writing to the Boston
Transcript says:
The habit Is as carefully made and correct
in detail as the regulation riding habit.
Dainty boots, trousers, taultlessly fitting
waist, correct hat and gloves are not new
ideas, but the full bifurcated skirt is the
sole point of difference A row OF buttons
and buttonholes, both in the front and back,
allow the garment to assume the proper out
line of skirt, and skirt which Just clears
| the ground, The fulness about the waist in
creases the apparent size of the hips, while
the manner of riding is said to increase the
size in reality. II is said 10 be the only draw
| back TO the idea, and drawback only to
women whose hips are naturally of good pro-
portions. An expert in the management of
the skirt, which is always tightly buttoned
when issuing forth or returning TO the house
makes few quick movements with her
hands, thus separating the two sides, accom-
piishes graceful swing, very like man, and
is in place-no adjusting Of skirts, for each
portion falls naturally into place.
If the courage of the women Of Brat
tleborough holds out, as there is every
reason to expect, and women generally
adopt their idea, we shall have not only
more of horseback riding among women,
and no exercise is superior to it. but
more graceful riders. and the hope will
strengthen that the gentler sex will break
away from the thraldom of other conven-
tionalities of costume. Perhaps even the
corset may give place to the canvas waist,
and the human form divine. on the female
side, in another generation resume its
normal outlines, with the gain, not only
of grace, but of health, and the disappear
ance of ills that however much it may
be denied, are traceable directly to the
barbarous custom of COMPRISING the
| trunk into unnatural shape and the dis
placement of vital organs to degree that
robs them of capacity for the purpose for
which they are furnished to human be-
ings.
