In the course of his remarks, however,
Mr.. Williams took occasion to refer to
the cause printed in the Times recently
OF the unfortunate drunken man who
had attempted to brain his wife and
daughter with an AK while under the
influence of whisky
Mr.. Williams said that this condition
of things was terrible; this licensing of
a business that creates a disease so ter
rible as to make a man forget his 10y
atty to his wife and family; a disease
that would make him raise his hands
to murder his own flesh and blood.
The nan was diseased, insane. No
man in his right mind would do such
a thing, and that insanity, he said,
was directly produced by the whisky
traffic, and was only one case of thou
sands occurring every day.
But said he, 1.-The community that
tolerates such things is largely to blame.
A strong public sentiment against
crime and vice and the pernicious sale
of liquor would, before long, be so felt
upon the officers of the law and the
makers of our legislation that such
things would soon become impossible.
Public sentiment would crystalize
against these things and then WI may
hope for something better"

The Use and Delights Of Swimming.

1t is almost n truism 10 say every
woman ought to know how TO swim;
and it is very certain that all would
realize the pleasure of it. am fairly
familiar with most of the sports prac
ticed by women. but | know of none
more delightful than swimming. Just
after your plunge, when you begin to
move through the refreshing water
with long, easy strokes, YOU have SEN
sations which nothing else in this world
| believe, gives you; and swimming is
one of the few sports which combines
pleasure with great utility. Every
summer we hear Of accidents in the
water resulting in fatalities which
would have been avoided ifthe women
involved had been able to swim.
Aside from the pleasure of swimming
there is hardly an exercise which gives
such symmetrical development to the
muscles. The movement is 80 peculiar,
moreover, that the muscles OF the arms
and legs which ordinarily get but little
exercise come into play, One of the
great essentials of good swimming is
proper breathing. The inhalations
must be regular and deep, and in assu'
ming the position one naturally ex'
pands the chest. Hence, there is
nothing in the world better for the
lungs than swimming, in moderation.
Excess, of course, is to be avoided, as
in anything else. A swim of half an
hour is amply long for even those who
are experienced swimmers. AS for
learning to swim. it is not so difficult
as some people imagine. Twelve les.
sons, and often less, from a good in
structors, will make n woman of aver
age vigor a master of the art. From

Protection as a Republican Dogma.

Mr.. Mckinley is unquestionably the
advocate of a high protective tariff.
But if n may believe the speeches
and the platforms that have emanated
from fifty State Republican conven-
tons this year, Mr.. Mckinley simply
represents his party on the tariff ques-
ton. A great national party was
never more unanimous on an import
ant question of public policy than are
the Republicans of the United States
today in their profession of faith in
protective tariffs. Some time ago there
seemed to be growing up gradually u
free trade wing of the Republican
party, especially in the Mississippi val,
ley. But the Republicans Of Iowa,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois are
no longer doubtful on the tariff ques.
ton, but are as unanimously outspoken
for stiff and Incorporating protection
as the Pen~nsylvaians themselves. The
tariff of 1S90,-known as the Mckinley
bill because Mr.. Mckinley was chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit.
tee of the house, and leader of his
party on the floor,-was at least a con-
sistent measure, to the making of which
great study has been devoted; and the
outcome was the expression of a broad
theory rather than a mere tumble of
log rolling concessions to clamorous
private interests. -From THE Progress

The Food of the Poor.

The studies of the foods of people of
the poorer classes, especially in the
large cities are full of interest. We
have been wont to say 1.-THE destruction
of the poor is their poverty but here
it is rather their improvidence. They
suffer less from lack of money than
from lack of economy in its use. Often
this bad economy is due to pride and
unwillingness to economize, and often
it is due only to ignorance.
