Juvenile Habits.

Many parents never learn to correct the
little bad habits of their children without
"naggtng." Some of them go on the prin-
ciple that whatever a child does is wrong
and must be rebuked. The result is that
the lives of many little folks are made
miserable through having to travel be-
tween bristle Of "don'ts'' and stops"
Science. however. has come to the rescue
of the youngsters in at least one line of
their torment. A dispatch lately received
from Indianapolis reads as follows:
prof. A. c. Pohlman of Indiana Uni
versity read a paper before the Indiana
Academy of Science meeting held here to-
day.
Parents make mistake when they say
Johnny. stop looking cross-eyed, or your
Pohlman. Johnny is doing the best thing
possible for his eyes. He is giving them
the power Of near vision. The practice
should be encouraged among children
Whether any other Juvenile eccentrici-
ties and tdiosyncrasies are capable of
similar defense Is not at present clear.
But Johnny and Susie will unquestionably
be very grateful to any good. kind pro-
lessor Of some ology or other who rises
in his pedagogic place and declares that
children ought to be allowed to grow up
just as they feel inclined.
Usually an occasional good-natured and
instructive talk with the children of the
household on the subject of good manners
and sanitary behavior will work all need
full reforms Unless the child is excep-
tionally obdurate and willful. this sort of
correction is more effective than the per-
sistent checking and reproving that OBJ
tain in many homes.

the Cleveland democrats. Concert OF ac-
ton was not possible on any question.
Mr.. Bryan has characterized the situation
as bunco game, and 1t must be con-
fessed 1t was very like that.
To add to the difficulty, Mr.. Cleve-
came very sour, and many leaders of the
party avoided him. Some of the most
prominent democrats in Congress not
only ceased to visit the White House,
but refused to resume calling there when
asked to do so. They had had enough,
and recognizing that smash had come,
held Mr.. Cleveland and his eastern ad-
visers responsible.
Such was the condition Of affairs when
the party met at Chicago in 1896 to make
it's nomination. There had been some
talk of a third term for Mr.. Cleveland. but
the proposition was preposterous. Equal
ly futile, too, would have been an effort
to nominate any one Of his recognized
lieutenants. That wing Of the party was
despised by the dominant wing, and an
anti-Cleveland nominee and an anti-Cleve-
land platform were in the nature of
things.
Out Of the wreck Mr.. Bryan rose. young,
audacious. brilliant and aggressive. He
could not win. for the party's forces had
been scattered. He could not make
spoon, because the horn had been spollt
before he got hold of it.

Mr.. Bryan No Wrecker,

Now that Mr.. Bryan has resumed the
leadership OF the democratic party those
persons whose hostility Is implacable are
renewing the term of party wrecker "
Whatever Mr.. Bryan may be answerable
for, he did not wreck the democratic
party. He found 1t a wreck at Chicago
in 1896 and he made 1t In the campaign
that followed a puissant organization.
What other man whose name was men,
toned for leadership at that convention
could have polled six millions and a half
of votes? Richard P. Bland? Horace
Boies? They were among the medioc-
rifles the convention toyed with until
the orator of the Platte took the stage
and wrought his spell.
Nothing is palmer at this day than that
the triumph of 1892 carried the seeds of
death in its bosom. The winning COM
bnation was made up Of democrats and
populists, silverites and gold bugs. free

republicans disgruntled through failure
to secure Office from Gen. Harrison Dis

Everybody was complaining. First came

An international sanitary congress is at
present in session in the City of Mexico
discussing tropical and semi-tropical con-
ditions and diseases with view to facili-
tating the great work Of their eradication
Naturally, the mosquito comes in for a
large share Of attention, inasmuch as
several of the ills from which the human
family suffers have been traced to that
pestiferous insect. A dispatch from Mex
leo just received brings word of an impor-
tant decision. The congress has voted
henceforth to style as mosquito fever"
the disease heretofore and at present
known as malaria. This change has been
decreed in order that the public may real
ize the real, true cause of the disease and
cooperate with sanitary officers in their
efforts to exterminate mosquitoes. 1t is
hoped that other scientific and medical
societies will adopt the new title and that
it will come into general use.
1t will of course be difficult to bring
about a reform in this regard. Popular
names are tenacious of their grip on the
pubic mind. In the case of malaria the
disease itself is known by other names
within the United States, as "ague," as
fever and ague' and as "chills and
fever" Some people used to call it
swamp fever" Doubtless there are local
variations Of the same theme. The title
mosquito fever appeals to the magma
ton wildly. 1t ought to carry far 1t
conveys no surprising suggestion, for dur
ing the past decade the mosquito theory
of disease transmission has been SO wide
ly discussed that probably the notion has
penetrated to the remotest corners of
this country.
Chiefly the necessity for q popular CO.
operation with the sanitary authorities to
exterminate the pest exists in those re-
gions where popular intelligence Is at a
very low ebb The lands most seriously
infested with disease-bearing mosquitoes
are not blessed by highly literate inhabi-
tants The work of changing the popular
names for the malarial disease will be
most difficult among these people.

CURRENCY REFORM.

From the Newark Star.
Evidently Representative Fowler of the

the banking and currency systems-not
unless he has lots of time to spare!
From the Birmingham Age-Herald.
No representative who desires re-elec-
ton will neglect to present a currency re-
form bill. at least 400 bills are expected
From the Concord Evening Monitor.
The financial doctors certainly do dis
agree terribly.
From the Jersey City Evening Journal.
The Senate shows wisdom in declining
to rush pell-mell into currency legisla-
ton. 1t is best to go slow in the prep
aration Of bill of such far-reaching i'm
portance.
From the Richmond Times Dispatch.
Many careful critics regard Representa-
tive Fowler's plan for currency reform as
among the thirty-seven best plans yet
submitted.

A Dark Horse.

1t Is not in order to speak Of Gov.
Hughes as a dark horse. He Is anything
else. His reputation extends now from
ocean to ocean. His praises are sounded
in California in quite as high a key as
In his home state. The people have heard
of him in Maine and In Texas. A white
light Is beating on him from every quar-
ter. There is nothing dark about him.
AS presidential quantity he can be ap-
praised as fully as Mr.. Cannon. who has
been in national life thirty years, or Judge
Taft. who came on the scene about 1900.
A dark horse is a misnomer for one SO
widely and favorably known.

Minnesota, who figured in the prints for

Mr.. Davis of Arkansas.

Mr.. Davis of Arkansas was probably
testing when he announced some time ago
that he would address the Senate on the
first day Of the session. He must have
known that that would be Impossible
He is prompt, however, with. notice OF
an early appearance. and next Wednes-
day he will explain at length his attitude
as to trusts and kindred matters. 1t IS
unnecessary to say that his attitude Is
antagonistic, and his remedies for what
he considers evils are extreme.
The senator from Arkansas ts well
justified in disregarding Inc tradition as
to a new senator. This Is no time for him
to tarry at Jericho until his beard grows
Trusts are popular theme. and Congress
will soon be busy with the subject More
over, a presidential campaign Is opening,
and trusts will be q cry in that. These
are the days for speech, therefore, and
statesmen with views to urge should urge
them at once. A little longer and every
body will be talking at once. 1t Is the
early taIker that catches attention.
A senator who had come fresh from
his law cases, or from his counting room,
or from his books in his study. with no
experience in public life and a little hazy
visable to follow the old rule, and for
awhile simply play what in the theatrical
world is called thinking part. He might
find it to advantage to study his sur
roundings and mediate on the procedure
and the proceedings before taking an
active part
Mr.. Davis, however, while new to the
Senate, is not new to politics. He Is an
old hand at the game, and has played
it at home for years with marked sue
cess. He is fresh from the governorship
of his state, and in that office, by force of
his aggressive course in matters both Of
local and of larger concern, made so
great an impression on his constituents
that they turned down veteran serv-
ant. Mr.. Berry, to promote him. He comes
here ready for the fray; and there Is no
good reason why he should sit dumb In
his chair while topics are up with which
he Is familiar and others are discoursing
on them. AS he has suggestions to offer,
now is the time for them.
What this new man may say may not
suit the eastern wing Of the democratic
party, but it will undoubtedly repre-
sent a great many southern members of
the organization. 1t is impossible to
brighten men of the Davis and Tiliman
kind by shouting populism at them. For.
as a matter Of fact, they are far nearer
to populism than to democracy of the
New York brand.

To pick worthy President
From out the large supply.

creature good and kind"
For II said neighbor does not vote
The way we think he should
Wen call him harsh and horrid names
And list him anti good.

His brother will be raised,
And each will call the other down
And say he Is amazed.
Sons fguratively will reach
To grasp their fathers throat,
And each will strive to neutralize

Oh, we are thankful for the peace
That sits around this fall,
When no one argues in the street,
Nor tries to hire a hall;
When no calls us fools and worse
Because we are inclined
Against his judgment and his wish
To rise and vote our mind.

THIRTY THOUSAND WORDS.

From the Norfolk Landmark
The President truly declares in his
latest message that the cher obstacles to
enforcement of the law in this country
are sentimentality and technicality. 1t
passes understanding that an executive
who can write thus systematically
should drag out a message to length of
81 900 words.
From the Toledo Citizen.
It takes nerve for a presidential candi-
date to contemplate message Of 10000
words and still be enthusiastic for the
job.
From the Providence Journal.
Whatever differences of opinion there
may be as to the Presidents message,
there is a general agreement that it con-
tanned plenty Of words-about 10000.
From the Springfield Union
You can tell by the thud Of the news
paper on your doorstep these winter
mornings whether the President had any
thing of importance to communicate to
Congress the day before.
From the Kansas City Times.
The length o, the Presidents message
might indicate that he has propounded a
hypothetical question to Congress.
From the Rochester Herald.
A glance at Mr.. Roosevelt's message
leaves no one in doubt Of the fact that
he had severe word storm.
From the Buffalo Express.
Long as the Presidents message was.
the New York Sun was able to devote a
column to proving by the deadly parallel
that Mr.. Roosevelt ''plagiarized" a part
of 1t from a speech which he had once
delivered.
