A JEFFERSON CITY correspon-
dent to the Salem ''Monitor'
(Den.), gives the following breezy
description of how our Democratic
legislators conduct a session:
''The usual disortlerly condition
of this House was somewhat facil-
itated this (Tuesday) afternoon
about half past + o'clock, by a
fight between two of the clerks
near the speakers stand. The
member from Dent tried to get in
a motion to send for the chaplain,
but the confusion and excitement
was so great he could not be heard
The affair will probably be invcs-
tigated by a committee, but that
will add nothing to the dignity of
this House. In fact, when it comes
to question of dignity this House
has none worth mentioning"

past, nor evasion for present and
future purposes. Some parties
have been tried and found wanting:
others, committed to needless and
complicated experiments, will never
be tried unless the people discard
i'll prudence. The Republican par
ty Is justly proud of its record, and
the proofs it has given of capacity
and fidelity. 1t repels the asser
tion that it is corrupt, or that it
can not conduct any needed re-
form within itself, and by its own
instrumentalities. 1t deties any
one to show that its defeat has
ever benefited the citizen or that
any political combination against it,
no matter what flattcring name it
adopted, has ever resulted in any
thing but backward steps or posi-
tive misfortune. In municipalities
and states, as we'll as in the nation,
it stands for the best obtainable
government. 1t has more vitality
and executive strength than any
other party, and intelligent knowl-
edge of the means of sclf-discipline.
When Il band of reformcrs under
take to reduce il to level of other
parties, and drain away its strength,
they are virtually an ally of the
worst political organizations, and
can accomplish nothing in any

that he was ''elected'' until the
political complexion of the Legis-
islature became apparent. Then
he felt sure that the seat would be
his, whether Baughers majority
was G., 60 or 100.
The majority report of the House
committee ON elections is again
hurled at our head as conclusive
proof that Eaton had a ''majority
of seven votes" Among the six
Democrats who compose the major
ity of the committee is Represen
tative Tribble, who sums up
their action in the following in
elegant but forcible language: 1T
was as much use for Republican
to come before that committee as
to throw SNOWFALL in hell.
This ought surely convince anyone
that the majority report was based
solely upon the evidence.(J The
two Republicans members of the
committee brought in minority
report giving Baugher clear ma
jority of four votes. As the ratio
of truth in these two Republicans
is equal to that of the six Demo
cratic committeeman, the conte st
ant and his two attorncys-or 2 to
'9-we will still adhere to our be-
lief that Baugher is the legally
elected Representative from Wash
ington County. Morally Eaton
has not been supported by the best
element of his own party; he had not
even the sanction of the Dem
ocratic County Committee, fact
which was gratuitously announced
by the organ across the street.
Our leading Democrats say even
now that Eaton holds the seat only
by right of party might.
In publishing certain stolen pri-
vate letters from Capt. Hunter to
Mr.. Baughcr, by which the opposi-
ton tries to prove the formers
connection with the case as asso-
ciatc counsel, they support us in all
our previously expressed opinions
of the methods rcsorted to by the
opposition. These letters disclose
nothing more than that those
interested in Mr.. Baugher's side of
the case were aware of the con-
temptiblc means rcsortcd to to win
the contest for DR.. Eaton. We
still deny that Capt. Hunter was
ever employed as regular counsel
for the contestec, Or that he used
his official power in an illegal man
ner. He took an interest in the
case because he knew that Baughcl
was rightfully elected, just as other
Republicans did.

Our graphic description of the
mseating of Representative Baugh
er, which appeared in the JOURNAL
of February oath, seems to have
touched the CALLED jade to the quick,
end in last weeks issue of the elm
DEPENDENT a large amount of its
more or less valuable space was
devoted to an effort to counter
act our truthful account of how the
Democratic majority in the House
heapcd insult upon injury on ma
jolity of the voters in Washington
County at the seating of DR.. Eaton.
But, nevertheless, those insulting
cheers which thus rang out in JET
ferson City when Baugher rose to
give way to Eaton,, will echo and
pe>scho among the hills and valleys
of old Washington County for
many years. RustGng the dead
leaves of ancient history will not
drown out those cheers nor con-
done their offensc.
We do not intend to keep up an
intcrlninal discussion of this contest,
but the contemptible and unprinci-
pied spirit displayed by the oppo-
sition in the effort to justify its
cause leads us to give up a little
more space to It reply. Among Other
things it is stated that Eaton be
lieved himself elected because the
editor over the way SO telegraphco

seat. The fact il, however, thai

GYMNASTIC TRAINING.

Education.
Ry unanimous consent Adolph Spiess
was the inventor of the method and eX-
ercise on which the programmes Of
gymnastics are based to-day. Few
schoolmasters have lefs such deep
traces in education: few, perhaps. have
done SO much work as Spiess. He
taught. in the public schools at Burg
cerf, history, geography, drawing and
gymnas.ics-all at the same session.
Poor as he was, he would make three
hours walk every week to The Munhcen-
buchsee gymnasium, and, after two
hours OF hard exercise, he would re-
turn, always on foot. tired but not dis
contented. Eured Jrf is little town in
the canton Of Bern. It's castle crowns
the summit of hill. One day l visit
ed the town. went up to the castle, and,
passing through it to the terrace, sat
Gown under an old linden to admire
the landscape and gaze on the snow
capped Alps white ming in the distance.
An instructor in the high school of
Burgdorf who had gone with me on
this walk pointed ont to me the VIM
dows of q room in the castle where
Spess' first school had been. In that
loom boys and girls had first gone
through those exercises which are now
part of the training in all public schools.
All there is just as 1t was in 1888. when
Spiess came from Germany. full OF
hope. happy in being called there as
PestaloZZi's successor. PestalozZi had
| written in that very castle his book
''How Gertrude Teaches Her Children
| as well as the "Mother Book no less
celebrated in the history of popular
| pedagogy. Spiess tells us how the
| gyInnnstic exercises were carried on in
| the castle only in winter and when it
| rained, but at other times how he would
lead his boys out into the open air to
exercise in the playground which is
down in the valley, a grassy meadow
protected from the sun on the south by
high cliff.
Spiess best years were passed in that
meadow. The four volumes of this
work on gymnastics were thought out
end put into practice on that play
| ground. An old horizontal beam on two
rusty supports. which is still there,
is probably the oldest piece Of gym

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Trade in cattle was again
provokingly slow at further decline OF lOc and
last. week. The ruling features of the market
were pretty much the same as for the last week
and it was hard TO get buyers to look at common
cattle. The extreme range of prices between the
poorest and the best cattle was unusually wide
a few cars of Christmas beeves going at s56t5.5O
while very common steers sold TO dressed heef
firms at $3.35Q3.50 The bulk of the cattle crossed
the scales at So s0Q475 good export steers selling
at $425Gt45 so. The stocker and feeder trade has
petered out and prices largely 25c lower than
last week, while cows and bulls are irreguarly
lower. A few Texas cotton-seed meal fed steers
aVera gipg 1850 to 110O lbs sold at $3.95Q405. A
few prime milch COWS sold at s50M60 each. A sale
was made Of 81 fancy holiday Hereford cattle at
$3.50.
In hogs there was slower demand from local
packers than usual and Eastern shippers pur-
chases We're again very light Prices were 2lsG5c
lower from the start to the close, fat butcher
weights showing the least decline. Sales were
largely at So 256I5.40 with coarse, heavy packers

1t was at a Jefferson-avenue residence
and the young man in the case had been
going often and staying late until the maid
en- fair felt the monotony of it. Last Thurs
day evening about Il O'Clock the conversa-
ton dragged so that it almost pulled the
carpet out by the lacks and for a minute
or two he sat in cogitative mood with his
hand to his forehead.
Il was just trying to remember some
thing" he explained.
''Yes?" she replied.
Il had something pleasant to tell you"
An, what was it?' and she frightened
bit
''Um-um, let me see.'' he said, rubbing
his head Il can't just think what it was"
The light faded out of her face, then it
came again.
Perhaps it was good night she sug-
gested quietly.
He looked at her for full minute: looked
at her as If she had said something by
mistake: looked at her as if she might have
an explanatory remark or two to add; but
she never flinched. Then he got up and
went away and he never came back.
