A PHYSICIANS VERDICT Dr. Andrew
Clark, London physician, said in recent
lecture, that he went through the wards of
his hospital, and asked himself how many
cases there were due to natural and unavoid-
able causes, and how many to drink, and he
came after careful thought, to the conclusion
that seven out Of ten owed their ill-heath
to alcohol. He did not say, he continued,
that these were excessive drinkers-in fact,
it was not the drunkard who suffered mos.
from alcohol, but the moderate drinker who
exceeded the physiological quantity, and
thus steadily undermined his constitution and
prepared himself for premature decay and
death

THE PLEA OF INSANITY.

Mr. Scoville is developing theory of
hereditary insanity, which may have an i'm
portant bearing on this case. Insanity runs
in my family. My father had two sisters
and nephew and niece in an insane
asylum He himself was a monomaniac for
twenty-five years in the Oneida Community.
He could see no evil in that concern. and
no good out of it. He thought Noyes a
greater man than the Lord Jesus Christ.
He was rational enough outside of the
Community idea. On that he was lunatic.
He would get greatly excited in discussing
that and looked and acted like wild man.
All this time he was good business man.

THE average voter In English boroughs is
not an oyerscrupulous person. He looks
forward to q Parliamentary election with
eagerness. There is in it a prospect OF un-
limited beer, several free dinners, and some
thing more substantial still Since the last
general election the members for fourteen
English boroughs, one Irish borough, and
one Scotch county hare been unseated
for having procured their elections through
wholesale bribery and corruption. Inquiries
held into the circumstances have revealed
an alarming amount of moral oblfQuity
among the electors, particularly Of the
University City OF Oxford, the Cathedral
town Of Canterbury, and OF the City Of
Boston. The English Attorneys General
yesterday reported bill to the House Of
Commons providing various pains and penal
ties for the punishment OF persons who cor
ruptly influence electors, and for the
punishment of electors so Influenced It
provides that any expenditure over a
certain amount, proportionel TO thee
size Of the constituency, shall be deemed
evidence of bribery and corruption; and, fur
ther; that any candidate will not at any time
be eligible as the representative Of tile coz

One Of the many remarkable phases of the
present agitation in Ireland is that the agl-
tators do not seem to dread being arrested
When the British Government determined to
break up the Fenian organization In Ire
land by the arrest Of the leaders,
there was an exodus from Ireland to Amer
lea and France OF those who had made
themselves conspicuous In the organization.
We hear nothing Of the flight Of the leaders
Of the Land League. On the contrary, they
seem to court arrest Tt was rumored In
Cork yesterday morning that the officers Of
the Land League branch in that city would
be arrested during the day. Nothing daunted,
the officers proceeded to the place OF meet
ing. surrounded by sympathizing friends, had
officers elected to take their places in case
OF their being *'jailed,''' and were doubtless
disappointed that NC. policeman put in an ap-
pearance. Nor is 1t in Cork alone that the
Land-Leaguers have shown their indifference
to the officers Of the law and their determi-
nation to abide the consequences Of their
acts. They have manifested the same spirit
throughout the country.

THERE was q long and apparently fruit
less debate on the Wood Refunding bill In
the House yesterday. Several members, in
cluding Clat1in, Frye, Keifer, and Warner
thought that 8 per cent bond could not be
foated at par, while Messrs. Wood, Randall,
Felton,. and Newberry had no doubt that
even short-term bond, saNof fifteen years.
at 5 per cent could be easily flonted.
Afr. Randall pointed out that the bankers
and representatives Of the moneyed interests
said year ago that per .cent long bond
could not be foated, and that the talk OF a
failure to float per cent bond now was on
par with such predictions. Messrs. Mills,
Weaver, Gillette, Chalmers, and Hurd de-
elared themselves opposed to refunding, and
the latter gentleman predicted woes lnnu-
merab1e from the present condition OF the
National finances, among the least OF which
might be mentioned another pdnic- The
general impression seemed to be that pei
cent bond, redeemable after ten years and
payable in thirty years, could be floated, and
that refundin9 bill embodying these ideas
would probably be passed.
