THE DAILY llERALb : VLn riSftiou Tnt wxttSltASKA, TUESDAY, OCTOHi:
UBN. II A Ml l Si WS C 11 All ACT Eli.
Every speech which (Jeneral Harrison
has made during the campaign has added
to the strength of his position, because
he has been able to let his personality
tike care of itself and give his attention
to the important issues before the people.
It is not every man who can do this, for
ino,t of those who have held the high
ofliccs by which he has been honored
have some record which has to be justi
fied or defended.
The people at large appreciate the
certificate of character which this fact
involyes. Many statesmen of sterling
integrity, who chanced to be in public
life with him, have been unable to avoid
calumny, though they did not take part
in the great measures by which the
republican candidate earned his promi
nence. They have had to live clown
slanders, which never were pointed at
General Harrison, because the false wit
nesses, however ingenious, have always
realized the impotence of their weapons
agiiust a man of simple, unassuming
honesty.
Clear-hearted, straightforward of mind
and purpose, he has been able to dis
pense with the defensive weapons which
less fortunate statesmen arc often obliged
to keep in stock. By this fact he is able
noy to talk to the issues on all occasions,
and, later on, if he is elected, he will not
be distracted from public business by the
necessity of defending his private char
acter. It is this fact which commends
lii in to the people as a trustworthy man,
for there is no guaranty of good conduct
equal to an unassuud and unassailable
record extending over manv years of
. - cy
activity.
WHY THE SOUTH HATES ntO
TEC T ION.
The true motive of Southern attacks
u4on the protective features of the taritt
was disclosed in a speech by Mr. Mor
gan, of Alabama, during the tariiT debate
in the United States Senate in lMSi. He
asserted with surprising candor that hi
did not want a hijh tariff whit h mbjht
It i l to a hijh rate of io njes, because it
might be a damage to Alabama's plant
in ir interests, lie feared that under high
protection great in anufacturing establish
ments would spring up and that the
high wages paid employes would attract
laborers from the plantations to the
shops.
That is the position of the Southern
free traders. They do not want to have
labor well paid. They desire that the
n.'gro shall remain practically a slave
after the law has freed him, and they
desire to push down the poor white man
to the same level. They believe in
luxury for the wealthy and squalor for
the poor.
There are no plantations run by semi-
slave lalior in the North. Here public
sentiment holds that "the laborer is
worthy of his hire." The United States
must never have a "peasant class or
'surf population," such as breed anarchy

Many persons yearly ma'io the very sad
mistake of neglecting their eyes until
they begin to see t ho mist before them,
until the object they are Icoklng at must
be brought very close to the eye to lie dis
cerned, or until the print in the book they
are reading Iwomes all blurred, and then,
when in many eases it is too late to re
pair the injury that has been caused, they
bei;in to seek "advice. Every year there
are hundreds of cases that come under
tlio oculists caro that could have been
cured if a few rudimentary principles had
been known to or observed by the patient
Those things everybody should know,

very often it is in infancy, when the child
is yet but a few months old. and has not
left tho nurse's lap. that ita little eyes
are injured for life.
It is natural that, when wo have ar
rived at middle ago and begin descending
tho hill of life, our sight should eoni

it us long as it is possible? First, by hav
ing our competent mothers and nurses
take caro of them for us whilo we aro yet
infants. In a day or two after birth it
will perhaps be noticed that the lids are
swollen, and perhaps that some irruplivo
disease has set in. In such a case the
mother or nurse will do well not to try to
be doctor as well as occupying the trying
position of either mother or nurse. A
skillful practitioner should at once bo
culled iu to see the child, that is, if the
symptoms become at all serious, because
it is at this very time that the sight of
the child may be seriously affected and
perhaps permanently impaired. Above
all things don't in such cases try moth
tr's milk; neither bo overanxious that
the child may bo hungry, and therel y
overfeed it. Hemeniber, lirst of all, thai
a low diet must bo given in such cases;
this is imperative. The child should at
onee be taken from a place where there is
a strong light and kept in a room where
tho sun or artificial light has been sub
dued. A conscientious physician will in
most cases bo able to effect a rapid cure
miJ save the child from untold agony.
which it miaiht have to endure when it
grew older if neglected now.
carelessness ov nukses.
Nurses frequently allow the child to lie
in their (tho nurses') laps, and in such a
position that in order to gaze about it, the
infant must roll its eyes until sometimes
it is staring at objects over its forehead
or with its head tipped back it is looking
at objects upside down. The careful
nurse and the thoughtful mother will
never allow the child to recline in this
position, or if they do, will place it so
that there will bo uo incentive for It to
look over its head. Sight is Impaired in
many children in this way.
When the child is teething is a critical
time for its eyes, and later, when It is be
ginning to learn to read, he careful then
that it does not acquire habits which,
when it matures, cannot be easily eradi
rutpd. Observe how it holds its book;
don't let it hold it up to its face and
squint at it. Be careful also that it uses
both eyes at the same time, because many
children acauire the habit of usiacr one
Km and lea v hie- the other unused, caus
ing it in time to grow exceedingly
weak. Primers and first readers should
invariably bo in largo type. and
the child should be mace to sit up
strain-lit. Constantly leaning over a desk
or a piano has a bad effect uion the eyt-a
of children, which is fully equaled by a
misfortune which befalls little girls, ana
that is their tresses fahing down over
their faces. It is supposed that squinting
is caused in the brain, but it is well known
that children inherit it. Many of these
siirroundinfr influences are indirectly the
cause of squinting, and they should he
most zealously guarded against. Aiwajs.
see to it that children have plenty o
fresh air in the school room, and do not
excite the child's imitative faculties
Many a child has been a squinter for life

nanion who squinted for fun. This is a

oftentimes indulged in by those who have
the care of children because the child is
so smart it mimics so well.
ANOTHEll CKITICAI. PEKIOD.
The next very critical period is when
the child has grown into a youth or
maiden. Their constant study, or tho too
close application to an exacting occupa
tion, will work incalculable injury. Hie
voung man or woman who is fortunate
enough to discover tnis in time has reason
to be thankful, for the skillful oculist
may. if he has the patient iu season, bo
able to do him some temporary good: but.
alas! for those who are not aware of their
true condition until they aro frightened
some day by tho specter of luminous
objects and black specks floating before
them. They seo undulating lights and
objects that appear to be composed of a
misty substance. When this state of
things arrives the wise youth or maiden
will at once show himself to a physician
and get medical advice. If the defect to
the eve is in its first stages the doctor
will not be in any hurry to have you wear
glasses. This is not so desirable as
many suppose. Glasses are annoy
ing to those who are forced to
wear them, and if there is any way
to avoid it, no one ' should be in auy
hurrv to put them on In the first place,
a person who notices himself alilicted w ith
these symptoms will seek rest. If he is a
student, let him temporarily give up the
companionship of his books and seek the
companionship of nature.

is dependent to a great extent ujion good
health, and one should never, under any
circumstances, neglect his general condi
tion, no matter how trifling the circum
stance or symptoms may appear to be.
A good rule to remember in caring for
the sight Is: Never read In bed; and
another very good rule to observe (it ir
disregarded by almost everybody) is uevei
