Indianapolis. Jan. 19.—The Indian- * spoils News, which has taken a very active par: in Indiana politics, contained an editorial yesterday that has occasioned much talk antoi party leaders. Among other tilings it k|m>Rc very favorably of Judge Gray as* a suitable Democratic candidate for president, but the aitl'nde it took re gardie the mtilook for the Democracy was most interesting, as so ne believe it is an indication that it expects to snpixirt the Democratic ticket.

- J SAMURAI AND JIU-JITSU lhe Moot WoitU«-rt<il System of Ath lotics In tlie World. Mere tl .' 2,’>uO years ago fhtt'i sprang Into existence in Japan an order of knights wlto were known as the samtirai In them was imparted till the learning, lite polite breeding and tlie forms of superiority that mark the gentleman. They were skilled in arms and versed in the arts of war, for they were the emp. t'or's fighting mett, at.d i none but they were allowed to bear, arms. As t:.ere could not always be war ou hand, and as it was considered beneath the dignity of the samurai to go . into :.ny ordinary callings, it came I about 'naturally that these little knights | louiid much idle time ou their bunds. Being men of war, they turned their attention to athletic- feats. One among tlie samurai conceived the idea of ioni'iilng by practice the location of every sensitive nerve and muscle in the body. After that be discovered all the joints of Ute bones that could 1 c seized In such away ns to i give momentary power over tlie tints- j ties of an adversary, lie practiced : with his fellow samurai, and thus by | degrees was developed tlie most won- > ilerful sy stem of athletics known in I the world. The Japanese call this work jiu-jitsu. ; The deft pressures applied in the prne- | tiee of jiu-jitsu produce only motuen , tary pain, but do not r 'ally injure the ' muscles or nerves. In all other things i the Japanese are th- most polite peo I pie in the world. So it follows that | even in tlt 'ir tlglitiug they have de vcloped a humane yet effective method j of self defense. They do not strikeout ; | with the clinched fist and seek to j ! bruise, as d > the Anglo-Saxons in their j 1 boxing contest;-. A knowledge of jiu-jitsu enables .me I almost instantly to convince his ojipo- ! neut that it is useless to light. There i are now scltieils of jiu-jitsu every where | in Japan. Every soldier, sailor nnd ■ policeman is obliged to perfect biiusclf i in the si stent. A Japanese policeman, | possess'd of the art, has been known ; single handed to reduce to submission I and to take to the police station four ! sturdy sailors of a foreign Asiatic , squadron.—Sl.
