L'ost, said three days ago that enough j votes were assured and enough interest j had been awakened in George's canvass j to warrant making him the Labor candi- j date against Cleveland and Blaine, and it j was a settled fact that he would run. i 'We shall draw votfcs from both parties,'" lie said, "and enough of them to hold the l>alancc of power and to give us re-: cognition as a party and as a force in. politics." So, then, suppose the men : who voted in New York city yesterday i for Henry George should vote for him ; for President, wliat would be the effect; on national politics? It is conceded that the George votes ' came more from Democrats than from Republicans, yet it is difficult to estimate the proportion from the figures, for the reason that many Republicans who were frightened by the apparent strength of the George movement voted outright for Hewitt, the Democratic candidate, on the principle mat ne was uie strongest, w^didate. They desired above all tilings to defeat George. It is conceded that the Republicans would be the chief gainers in a national contest in which George is the Labor candidate, and they have been in high glee since George's strength l.as increased. They say that Blaine would i surely cany New York were George to j get it),000 votes in isssin New York city j alone, and they hail the situation with, j great joy as an oliset to the damage ; threatened to their party by the prohibi-1 tionists.

Firmness is necessary at the earliest a<re. in all the care and management of a :-hild nmch thought should be exercised. At a very early age a child will take advantage of a weak mother. At the same time ii is not strength 'to make a set of rule* compel children to obey them as if all children were made alike: but * t - i watcli a etuhi closely. una out wmtt are | it? natural tendencies, and adapt to j then: 'lie few rules necessary lo its i needs. If it is natural for a child to I want its t'ood at certain intervals, then i feed it regularly according to its natur- j a! demands: and so on through the various things in which a child must be trained. l>y careful observation a mother can soon learn a child's necessities and make its life regular without friction. The secret of good discipline lies in :n!::j?l:Uion of forces to the nature of the child. Consideration of peculiarities must be made even in very young children. Seldom two children can be governed in the same way: and it is a duty of parents to study their individualities, otherwise there is no discipline, j I'll- the care given agitates evil tendencies in them. There can be no doubt that much of the naughtiness in children is unintentionally taught, or developed in litem. When grown people are so far from perfect, it seems unfair that every apparent fault of the child should be made so much of; and many times what seems wrong in a chilli is only a natural act under the existing conditions, and if we take time to examine tiie matter we shall be more just Injustice and weakness in'parents make sad hevoc with children's characters. There is a strong latent force in children which we must strive to control: we cannot change its nature, but by i strength and patience, and thoughtfulness we may guide it, IliMiulK/.iiilliin v ic Viovmfnl ic th/> X ' > V. i I4>J uu ?mv j lack of discipline. It may be worse, fox if :i child is let alone, there is a chance for a natural development of good: but j if a child is continually prodded with rules ami directions, it may grow rebellious, its obstinacy is aroused, and its liner feelings are blunted. Many a time j by forbidding we create a desire; as we invite falsehood by prohibiting something that the child will do thoughtless ly. ami can only refrain from doing by coi.slant self-control; and often the thing forbidden is of little consequence compared with the train of evils its prohibition introduces. When the child has disobeyed it is punished: the ilex' - i* * t .. . i:._ 11 ... uitic 11 <usooev.s il iKiiuruuv uiiis maisehood to avoid punishment. Children :ir?; };sop!ly and physically cowards, and ti:t- gi-catesi cam i= . fitcessary to prevent tiiis weakness from becoming a large element in their character. A thoughtless. wrong act is nut so bad as wilful' disobedience. We may give a child many opportunities to do wrong in tiiis thoughtless way. It does not follow that because a mother slips over nsaiiv uf the small misdemeanors in a chihl's life that she is without law or order. The strength of his inlluence is needed for the more important occasions.
