A GAME OF BLUFF.

Ex-Speaker Reed opened the cam
paign In Maine last Saturday. and his
speech was a model specimen Of blum.
He arraigned the Democrats for one
fault OF which he declared no person
could possibly acquit them, however
much he might defend or approve all
their acts. That fault was procrastina-
ton
The repeal OF the silver-purchasing
clause Of the Sherman Act, he admitted,
might have been of some service to the
country III It had been done promptly
and at once" But the delay to which
the measure was subjected destroyed
any good effect It might otherwise have
had.
Then came the Tariff bill, and that
also. instead OF bringing relief to the
country by some sort OF assurance that
there was to be n settlement of some
kind on which the business interests
might rely, was subject to shameful
and protracted struggle.
Considering the prominent part the
Republican Senators and Mr.. Reed him
self by his filibustering took in delaying
both these measures, the ex-Speaker's
arraignment of the Democrats Is at
least very funny.

One thing upon which all medical au-
thorities are agreed, Is that children
should not habitually sleep with adults
That the custom is extremely harmful
to the children is evident, even though
our limited knowledge Of the mysteries
of life may not enable us to demonstrate
in just what manner the electrical or
nervous forces may be affected. Does
this apply to the babes? Certainly. at
ter the first few days, during which
the child should be kept close to its
mothers body for the sake Of the
warmth which Is desirable. But within
q few days the little body Is capable Of
supplying its own warmth. and its place
is then in the little bed or crib, where 1t
may be master Of its own field. Above
all things, avoid the habit which many
parents have OF placing the child be-
tween them in the same bed; to say
nothing Of the danger Of a heavy sleeper
rolling upon the tiny form, the sanitary
condition is about the most harmful
imaginable.
