DRUNKENNESS.

John b. Cough, the veteran temperance
lecturer, has been publishing q paper on
Drunkenness in England" and states from
observation, that there is more dissipation to-
cay than there was twenty-five years ago.
Mr.. Cough has been longer in the field than
any other man, and has had peculiar facili
ties for observation, and yet we doubt Mr.
Coughs conclusion. There is an immense
amount of drunkenness in England, undoubt
eddy, but when we take into consideration
the great army of begging, stealing, starving
Migrants, found in all her cities and towns,
the wonder is that the consumption of liquor
- not even greater.
The condition of the pauper tramps in
Eng land, is very different one from that OF
his brother in the United States, and there is
still greater difference between the indus
trious, working classes. A mechanic or a
laborer in England is man who has no hope
beyond the condition to which he VAS born,
and has none for his children. Is it wonder
fu that such man should become, IN
measure, callous and Indifferent, or that his
is one thing of which We are perfectly sure;
that the habit has decreased in Ireland, which
is proverbial for dissipation. A few years
agO we were out on horseback on an Irish
road, and stopped at a grocery, where fifty
years ago, was a we'll known drinking house:
but the old sign, licensed to sell, spirits
and ale" was there no longer, ald tho woman
at the counter assured US that she had not
enough III the house to 'creesh yer thrapple,
and that there was none to be had nearer
than Colerane, six miles of, and We can
recall six on that roa once We found the
same thing wherever We visited. There ale
strong reasons to believe that intemperance
has not increased, as with US, the strongest of
which is that the poor there cannot afford the |
money. and drinking is not swallowing down
glass after glass of any kind of spirits, hut a
deliberate, slow process of solitary tipping, |
making glass 60 good ways, and afford all
the enjoyment it possesses, and there our
system of treating is unknown. The cases
of bioated squaor which Mr.. Cough des-
oribes, is quite as much the result of I'M
wholesome and meager food, as of bad gin.
The same condition of health which he says
be has enjoyed since 1910, IS possible to
almost any man WHO feeds well and sleeps
easily, and 5000 lectures, or rather few
lectures delivered 5000 times, with plenty of
sea life and nice private entertainment, in
the meantime, is not very telling on the con-
and it is questionable If gentle
now and then would not even have
added little extra stamina.
We do not say this to dscredit NJ. Coughs
seriousness in the matter, or to oppose the
oauss he pleads SO eloqn 'ntly. 1t is simply
D conviction we have that Mr.. Coughs esti-
the cause of the disease.

The Offense of drunkenness was
source of great perplexity to the aneients,
who tried every possible way of dealing
with it. II none sncceeded, probably II
was because they did not begin early,
enough, by intercepting some of the ways
and means by which the insidious vice is
melted and propagated. Severe treatment
was often tried to little effect. The Lo>
erians, under Zaleucus, Inade it a capital
offense to drink wine, if it was not mixed
with water; even an invalid was not exc
empted from punishment unless by order
of physician. Pittacus, of Mitylene,
made law that he who, when drunk,
committed any offense, would suffer
double the punishment which he would
do if sober; and Plato, Aristotlesand Plu<
tarch applauded this as the height of
wisdom. The Roman censors could eX-
pelsa Senator for being drqhk, and take
away his horse; Mahomet ordered drunk
ards TO be bastinadoed with eighty blows.
Other nations thought of limiting the
quantity to be drunk at one time or at one
sitting. The Egyptians put some limit,
though what, is not stated. The Spar
tans also, had some limit. The Arabians
fixed the quantity at twelve glasses a
man, but the size of the glass was, unfor-
tunately, not clearly defined by the his
torians. The Anglo-Saxons went no fur
ther than to order silver nails to be fixed
on the side of drinking cups, so that eacf
might know the proper measure. And il
is said that this was done by King Edgar
after noticing the drunken habits of the
Danes. I1yeurgus, of Thraee, went Il
the root of the matter by ordering tht
vines to be cut down. And his cOnduc
was initiated in 7O4 by Terbulus of Bull
garia. The Sueyi prohibited wine toHb
imported. And the Spartans tried to turi
the vice into contempt by systematicall.

Mr.. l. w. TERHUNE, Bergen Station,

plant as early after the 18th of March as
you can; cover them with shoYel-plowI
four or five inches. deep, for the. longer
the stem has grown before it comes through
the ground, the stronger the plant and

as they begin to come up plow them once
with a large shovel-plow, then with .

stroy all weeds; one more good working

rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax:
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation in
the back part There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-

ing left undone something which ought
to have been done. A slight. dry cough
is sometimes an attendant The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he

burning, and he complains of a prickly
sensation, of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER tC

John B. Cough is carrying on notable
temperance campaign in England. He Is
said to have the countenance and help of
clergymen in the Established Church,
who have of late years so awakenedto the
necessity of reforming the people from
liquor-drinkingt that many have abandon
ed the use Of wines on their own tables.
Cough now takes Murphy's ground, that
substantial and permanent reform can
only come through religious conversion.
He says facts prove that a man can be-
come a teetotaler without becoming a
Christian; but such a man does it at q
great daily risk, especially If he is re-
claimed drinker.

It has been claimed that beer and wine
drinking, in European countries are
preventIves of drunkenness. The fol-
lowing, from the ssKatholische Woehen-
blatt for Schlesien," may throw some
light on this matter. 1t says: 'EThe 1885
whisky distillsries of Prussia use up the
four years, and every twelve years the
whole yield of'rye. In 1870, they paid the
Government more than 13, 600 900 marks
for whisky tax, and furnished nine quarts
of whisky for every inhabitant. About
II, 900 persons die annually, In the whole
Of Germany, of delirium tremens." =.

No Meeting Held To-day-Waiting for the
Attorney Generals Decision.

The Board of Public Works met this
morning to transact business as usual,
when Judge Oliver and Hon. Rufus King,
who were present, gave it as their legal
opinion that the Board could not transact
any public business. Thereupon Mr.. Cald-
well asked that the opinion OF the City So
licitor be obtained upon the subject, an d
forthwith sent him the following oommu-
nication:
ITO the City Solicitor:
Yesterday you gave verbal opinion
that the members of the Board of Public
| Works should continue to act until the par
| ties to be appointed as City Commissioners
should succeed them, but as it would be
unwise to do business illegally will you
signify in writing your opinion as to legali-
ty of our further proceeding there yet be-
ing no successors appointed.
Yours, JOHN D. CALDWELL"
To this the City Solicitor replied as fol-
lows:
ITO the Honorable Board OF Public Works
Gentlemen: In answer to the within
communication, would say:
First, That Section 8, Division 4, Chap
ter 2 Page POS, Municipal Code, provides
that All municipal officers, unless other
wise provided. shall continue in Office until
their successors are qualified
Second, The new law provides that the
City Commissioners shall be the successors
of the B. P. w. in all respects. give my
opinion unreservedly that the present Board
can continue to transact business until the
new Board has been appointed and quail
fed. Respectfully submitted,
s"PowELL CRosLEY,
First Assistant Solicitor"
The members still being unsatisfied that
they were yet Board OF Public Works, for
the transaction of the city's business, took
recess until this afternoon at two o'clock.
In the meantime a telegram was sent to
the Attorney General, asking him if they
were justified in going OH with their busi-
ness until their successors were appointed
and qualified. To this dispatch no answer
has yet been received
