of Indiana politic* in the East.
Bat wbm did "Uncle Joe" know anything about Indiana politica?
Maine will bold her atate election next Monday. It will be the first gun in tbe Presidential campaign and ita boom will be listedod for with some interest.
One Leon M. Bailey, of Indianapolis, haa gathered
as the biggest voter that walks
and they can show their enthusiam if they can't do any more. In several places the gfrW lia** organised Frances Cleveland clubs and now in Chicago a couple of bright maidens have undertaken to get up a Harrison and Morton
which thoy hope to make number 600. They will drill and march in dayjtlnitf^'Wlth brooms and at night will ^probably carry torches. With this kind of accessories the campaign parades and processions will bo to a considerable extent freed from their conventional monotony.
It is nice to think that we arc to have something new in this campaign. Campaign literature has been the same old thing year after year—long speeches, alleged to have been made in Congress,
tedious
compilations of figures, and the
like of that. The pleasing announcement is now made that the Republican National Commltteo will issue millions of little leaflets, cards, tiles for notebooks, hat-bands, etc. Fancy cards, with a few words of printed matter, will be placed in cars, omnibuses and other public places. This is ingenious and enterprising. It will doubtless inspire the Democracy to similar eflorts in the way of freshness and novelty. If the campaign will be one of more than ordinary Interest.
A writer in the September Atlantic protests against tbe readiness of most poople to admit the possession of a ••quick temper." Persons who would resent in high dudgeon any Imputation upon their veracity or their honesty, seem to regard it as rather a compliment than otherwise when charged with being quick tempered, apparently thinking that it impllea generous and forgiving disposition. On tho contrary the writer malntaina that the quick tempered Is not generous because he shows no regard for the comfort of thoee around him. Nor Is he unselfish, forgiving or
large-minded
because his anger is kin
dled by some fancied slight to himself, which, if he could see how small a point In the universe the whole little affair was, tbe outbreak of temper would be averted. True, undoubtedly, but how few of us, whether "quick tempered" or alow to anger, are in the habit of estimating our little aftklra by that tremendous measurement!
Oan you Imagine a prettier picture this Saturday night than a happy united family gathered about the evening lamp. There aits father with his paper, near by la mother with her hands busily employed with something for tbe children to wear, or patching, or in lien of either nome piece of fancy work to adorn her home. The older boys and girts are •l&her reading or are engaged In some pl«waant employment. The air of peace which reigns over these quiet, but plea** ant home gathering*, theae eventide reunions la aneh as eauaes the guardian angel of that happy household to told his wing* and enjoy the aeene.

Democratic Ilea
and slanders against Gen. Harrison and woven tbetn into a tedious speech which the Democrats propose circulating as a campaign document. It will probably contribute materially to Harribon's election. The people believe In truth and fair play. A lie will wear out before election time.
They are going to spend a million dollars or more for campaign oratory. Members of Congress will get #0 a speech, and a few of them more, running occaslonly as high a* 100 or 8150 a speech. There is no use to think that men who can pour out campaign oratory at such rates are going to be in favor of a Presidential campaign only once in six or seven years.
Gen. Harrison had a great welcome on his return to Indianapolis Tuesday evening. His speoch at Ft. Wayne wa# one of the best ho has yet made. Whs# said that a reduction of tariff to a »*ver nue level means that more goods will come Into this country than come in now, tho necessary effect of which would be to transfer to ioreign shops work that is now done here, he struck tbe pith of the tariff question. Tbe fact is too plain to call for Haxiomatic.

Passing tbe Vandalia shops the other groining just as the men were coming out, a lady friend, the head of a model home remarked: "I never see a group of Hred men hurryingby when the day's work is doue that I do not wonder what kind of homes they are going to, and I think I can tell by the eager or sorrowful.

That is a strange and painful sort of rumor which in a roundabout way comes from Chicago. It is to the effect that Judge Gary, who presided at the trials of tho anarchists in that city, has become a mental and physical wreck. It is said that since the execution of the men condemned for participation in the Hay market massacre his nights have been almost restless and tho fear of vengeance has followed his every step Nightly a search for bombs and explo slvce baa to be made all through his houso before he lies down, and every morning the street In front of his houso has to bo examined beforo he ventures out. The statement is made that he is to bo taken to the Pacific coast for rest and to remove him from the surroundings of his present life. It would bo a terrible addition to the already overwhelming sins of the anarchists of Chicago If tho brave and just Jndge should be driven to insanity by their threats and misdeeds.

Try it, at first with patienee and in a abort time you will be surprised do find not only how easy it is, but how pliant thia little home gathering will.become. And young husbands why shoaMnU you spend your evenings at home? Aae.you not with the same girl you used to go miles to be with, the same girl to whom you could hardly say "good nlgtat" at the front gate? Do you not remember tbe time, and distinctly too, when your chief thought of happiness—yea of Heaven was a little cottage home witfc the very girl who now shares it with you And did she build no air castles in those halcyon days of courtship? Her roseate future painted by the fairy fingers otf hope, presented a picture of evenings at home with you. Perhaps she left aaomfortable home to commence life anew with you to share your joys and your sorrows,.to help you build up a happy home for you both, and the high light and ro*y colorings of her lite picture were grouped around you beneath the light of the evening lamp. Now are yon giving her all the pleasures In this way that you can Do you stay at home after supper and make her happy, or does the club, the saloon, or the street corncr divert your attention? Look at this thing right. Do your duty to your home, we warrant you, that you will have a bappy home and life will be worth the living. Try it. Remember your wife is the girl you courted.

HOW TO OO TO SLEEP. It Is now, I believe, writes a correspondent, generally accented that our conscious, daylight thinking processes are carried ou in the sinlstei half of our brain—i. e., In tho lobo which controls tho action of the right arm and leg. Pondering on tho us© of tho dexter half! of tho brain-possibly In all unconscious celebration, and whatsoever may be genulno of tho mysteries of planchette and spirit rapping, I came to the conclusion (shared, no doubt, by many other better qualified Inquirers) that we dream with this lobe, aud ihat the fantastic, spritelike character of dream Is, in some way, traceable to that fact. The practical inference then struck me: To bring back sleep when lost, we must quiet the conscious, thinking, sinister side of our brains, and bring into activity only the dream side, tbe dexter lobe. To do this, the only plan I could devise was to compel myself to put aside every waking thought, even soothlngand pleasant one# and ev«ry effort of daylight memory, such as counting numbers or the repetition of easy-flowing verses, the latter having been my not wholly unsuccessful practice for many years. Instead of all this I saw I must think of a dream, the more recent the better, and go over and over the scene it presented. Armed with this idea, the next time I found myself awakening at 2 or 3 o'clock In tbe morning, instead of trying to banish painful thoughts snd repeating, as wan rny habit, that commendable sporlnc,
Paradise' and tho Peri," I reverted at onoe to the dream from which I had awakened, and tried to go on with. In a moment I was asleep. And fr^m that time the experiment,often re»8avjd, bac scarcely ever failed. Not seldom the result is sudden as the fail of a curtain end seems like a charm. A friend to whom I have oon tided my little discovery tells me that, without any prelinary theorizing about tbe lobes of tbe brain, she bad bit upon the same plan to induce sleep and had found it wonderfully efficacious.
year the very strict rule which
forbade the yonng women students in Ottawa Normal School even to recognize the young men students on the streets wss relaxed and the two sexes who were being co-ed nested were permitted to become friend*, and the young men were allowed to call upon the yonng women In tbe evening and keep company with them. Thia year there has not been a single honor student, and tbe authorities think thia $i owing to their having yielded to tbe dictates of sentiment rathtst than study.
