Under Which King, Bezonian?"

The supporters OF metallism must
be surprised at the resolutions which
have been adopted at various silver
meetings in the State, notably, Shreve-
port and Opelousas. They smack OF a
strong desire to make silver subordi-
nate issue. And yet the very men who
are growing hOarse in shouting that it is
u national question, and therefore ont
side of State politics. would have the
people believe they are Jealous advo-
Gates of bimetallism. Aye, they say,
our present financial system is fast de-
preciating the value of all products-fast
running the people-and if persevered in
may finally array starving millions
| bOndholders. 1t they are sincere, how
can they contend that the issue should
not be factor in State politics? 1t tou-
ches every farmer in the land. The
question not only interests the people,
but they, and they alone, must decide
the issue.
His ExcelIency Gov. Foster evidently
believes in eliminating the silver ques-
tiOn from State politics. A superficial
observer can see his hand in the manip-
ulatons of the silver meetings. He,
himself, is as mute as marble statue.
ls he waiting for the cat to jump9 Has
he been hypnotized by Cleveland and
Carlisle7 AS the head of the Demo-
cratic party in this State, the people
have right to ask him and to know
where he stands. 1t is currently report
ed that he desires to be his own success
sor. We want no goldbug governor
We want a governor who will use every
effort to secure the election OF a United
States Senator who will favor silver.
SllVorites cannot trust their enemies
and he who would vote for goldbug
governor had better at once cast off the
mask and declare openly that he is
gOldbug. We want no half-hearted SOL
der, no silver man who would subOrdin-
ate that issue to any other.
Watch, silver men, those who tell you
1t is no use to talk about silver, that the
victory is won. They arc more to be
dreaded than goldbugs BIMET.

The cry of the Foster organs for

best to try some one else than Mr.. Fos-

How a Child Should Sit.

In sitting the child must be provided
with a comfortable chair, adapted to it's
size and height writes Eliza beth Robin
son Scovil on 1.-The Physical Culture of
Children" in Ladies Home Journal He
should be made to sit we'll back in it,
and not on the edge, when he has to
occupy it for any length of time. The
back should, if possible, give support to
the small of the back as we'll as the
shoulders. In working at a desk it
should be of such height that he can
easily see his work when sitting erect
by bending his head, instead of inclining
the body at the hip joints. The upright
position helps to expand the chest and
keep the shoulders in their proper
place. Its use soon becomes habitual if
it is insisted upon.
In walking the heel should not be
brought down too firmly. A part of the
weight of the body belongs upon the
toes, and when due proportion is
thrown there it gives an elasticity to the
gait which is lost when it is not properly
distributed. Walking with the heels
raised from the ground is good exercise,
though fatiguing. Hopping on each foot
alternately is ano5her Dancing is val
liable accomplishment for children. The
consciousness of being able to dance well
gives ease and self possession to many a
young man and woman who would 9TH
erwise be bashful and awkward. | Little
people usually delight in the rythmical
motion, and if it is not combined with
late hours it does them nothing but
good.

Glycerine for Various Uses.

There is hardly family medicine
chest that does not contain it's bottle of
glycerine, and yet the writer has OBJ
served that in most cases this reliable
remedy is depended upon for nothing
more than the relief of ''chapped"
hands and faces.
There is great variety of ways in
which glycerine can be employed to the
very best advantage. For 'chaps" and
Redeemed and roughened skin, the best
results are obtained by diluting the
glycerine with an equal part of rose
water.
1t is an excellent plan to put little
glycerine in the iodine that is applied
to the chest in case Of a severe cold.
