SATI05AL I88UKS.

We spokefyesterday or the treatment which Mr. Weaver, De La Matyr and Harper received Whilst they were canvasing Alabama in the interest of the National party. The danger which besought them on every hand demonstrates that they can expect no strength in the South

every

citizen to enjoy a gov

ernment of equal, civil and political rights, where every citizen, no matter what his social rank may \/q, can stand on the platform of equality, so far as his exercise of the freedom of speech and his standing before th'e law is concerned.

Of course, our constitution, being founded on an idea of absolute equality, has given rise during the past fifty years to various political issues, mostly originating among dissatisfied office seekers from the dominant party, and who for their sole satisfaction and means of gratifying their individual spleen, oppose the measures of the party in power, and seek its overthrow. The matter is very different when l^party is founded upon some great prinpip^e of justice as was the origination of the Republican party.

But let us examine the political sideshows of the d^y, and see what position they

in American politics. Wehave

Nationals, Fiatists, The Independent Peo pie's Labor Party, the Kearney Sand Lot p&rty, Prohibitionists, Anti-Liquor and the National Greenback Reform party, and the Liberals.

Not one of these political side shows expect to elect a President this fall. They have no general, issue affecting National politics, but their leaders simply hope to be able to pick the cast-off bones from the dominant party by hovering near and bartering for some petty office.

Take the Greenback party for example. Every leader of that party, whether in Maine, Alabama, Indiana or Ohio, knows that since the 1st of January, 1879, there has been no practical issue for them, so far as their originating idea is concerned,, except that one effecting the National Currency. To those Nationals -who have heretofore voted with the Republicans, we say, the issue which ypu take in opposition to thf! National Bank system, is the issue of tiie Old Democratic party, and id a disguise to lead you into Democratic power.

The real Democratic party has f6t years Included in its organization principle of finance which is very injurious to every principle of commercial honor yet the pbsltion taken by the National party

A Lady on Gymnastics.

For many years past I have been convinced that the mania for gymnastic exercises, athletic development, and muscular power has been productive of a vast deal of harm. Years ago the theory in vogue for obtaining health was dieting, and hundreds of people dieted tliemselves into insanity or the grave. Now

of young men. and (although it may seem to be a ridiculous statement) young women also, are killing themselves by "exercise." Nature rebels at knotted" muscles, and requires the full payment of a serious penalty whenever the folly re perpetrated of developing muscle as a business, through the swinging of dnmbbells and Indian clubs. The long walks, which are taken too frequently and wilh quite too much vim, under the influence of a spirit of emulation or to win a bet, are productive of far •more injury than benefit But, most of all, I want to call attention to the idea of daily bathing. It is a simple form of suicide, lacking the element of crime, because done through ignorance, lacking the horror, because it also lacks the crimson stainsand mangled ^brm of the ordinary suicidc.

Our young men are not content until they are scrubbed bald-headed by the willing barber, and look in their youth very hear of kin," indeed, to their aged grandsires. Were it not for the exceeding tenderness and quick rebellion when the whiskers are tampered with, and the fact that fashion benevolently and fortunately guards them, no dout?t they, too, would be shampooed out of existence so effectually as to leave the coming man without thfe becoming adornment.

The pOor body is actually scrubbed out of existenee. Nature guards her outposts very jealously, bat she cannot do double duty in" one direction without signal failure in soiiie other. Consequently, when the surface of the body is daily denuded of the cuticle under the vigorous application of the "coarse towel," she must repair damages,^it the expense of the digestion or the natural eliminations of'morbid matter some orgah loses the hftrmony with its fellows which is neceSaary to a perfect whole. Cleanliness is? not only "nex.tto gpdliness," but a very large part of it, and it is highly important that batliing slVdtild be employed as'ft hygienic force but not the shower-bath when an exhausted body is slowly waking from.an,unnatural sleep nor .a cold sponge when the day's duties liave^exhausfed mind and body both. To change the clothing fre^frently and permit a thorough airing, to expose the entire surface of the body for a few minutes to the air of the room on rising or retiring, a light "brushing with a soft brush or a fin6 to\vel,arid & good bath once of twice a week afe all that ah American ckn'endure and retain health. Light exercise of those muscles .not called into play.in the daily routine is also desirable, but it should be calisthCnic, not gymnastic, and shbiild not include a vigorous pounding on the chest, than which nothing can be worse for the lungs.
