Bungling With the Liquor Question.

From the New York Times.
The result will no doubt be attributed TO the
liquor agitation, which appears 70 have worked
In the undiscrminating way that was to be antici-
pated. Probably the Illogical and wrong-headed
conduct OF the prohibtioniSts in putting up cam
dfdates for Congress I'm some of the districts VIII
account for n part OF the republican losses It
would be difficult for them TO point out what has
been gained for their "cauSe" by the election OF
democrats 10 Congress. But, on the whole, the
republicans Will have TO accept responsibility for
the consequences OF the bunglng way in which
they have dealt with the liquor question.

From the New York Tribune.

The withdrawal OF Mr.. Beecher from the asso-
citation of Congregational churches. with which
he has so long been connected, will cause sorrow
rather than surprise among many OF his old
friends. 1t has long been known that the pastor
tons between orthodoxy and heterodnxy. and he
has the courage OF his convictions. Even his enc
mics must respect Mr.. Bcecher for the step he has
taken. He does not wish that any man or asso-
citation of men shall be responsible for his views
The points on which Mr. Boecher differs from his
brethren touch the atonement and future punish
ment- His theory OF the former is the moral in
nuence theory. He cannot think that punishment
after death is endless. Mr.. Beecher's Withdrawal
Will not spread so much CONSERVATION among
many orthodox believers as the condition of
things which his action has disclosed There
was strong feeling expressed in the association
that the Plymouth churc h preachers views were
not so different from those held by many mem.
bers as to make his withdrawal necessary.

Evil Results of Smoking.

Ny debut as smoker was like every
body's. My first pipe made me very i'll,
and it was only by degrees that I
managed to become third rate smoker
that is, deposed of eight or tea pipes
day without inconvenience. But when
ever l exceeded that average i suffered
from violent sick headaches, ushered In
by indistinctness of vision and numbness
on one side of the face, the tongue and
one arm, most often on the left side.
These preliminary symptoms lasted
about ten minutes, after which the head
ache came on in full force. The most
refractory organ, however, was my
stomach. After having smoked too
much used to experience the symptom
known as pyrosis, or heartburn, to a
very trying extent, though as any alkaline
water speedily caused these phenomena
to vanish did not care to give up my
tobacco.
About a year ago, having smoked for
months more than usual, L suddenly
found myself affected by peculiar and
terrific pain over the region OF the hearts
in short, had violent attack of angina
pectoris. 1t put stop to my smoking,
as, though I have since tried once or
twice, l have always found my cigar or
pipe detestable, ard, to sum up, am
radically converted. l do not wish to
discuss scientifically the NICOTINE origin
of my sufferings, but am sure that they
all sprang from the same cause-ex-
cessive use of tobacco. Degeneration
of the cardiac muscle is often caused by
tobacco. So long as the rest of his
organism remains IN good working order,
the smoker only experiences intermittent
palpitation, and the grave injury done
the heart remains unperceived until
some triffing cause brings into relief the
irremediable disorders produced by the
prolonged use of tobcco.-Dr. Dec

Unsuspected POisOnS.

It seems as though we are bound to
undergo certain amount OF poisoning,
eat what we will, and il is upon the
whole, perhaps, happy thing that we
are, as q rule, able to submit to it with SO
little interference with our mental COM
posure. The Pharmaceutical Journal
quotes the opinion of an eminent ana
lyst, from which it appears that decided
symptoms of poisoning result more FREE
quently than we are aware of from any
considerable consumption of potatoes.
Among the poorer classes, who live
largely on potatoes, such symptoms arc
said to be common, more particularly
when the tubers are very young or very
old. Such potatoes, we are told, con-
tain considerable quantities of solanine.
This poison was found In very unmis-
taxable quantities in the stomach of a
man who had been for two or three days
previous to his death living on nothing
but raw, unripe potatoes, and there
seems to have been no room for doubt
that his diet accounted for the presence
of the poison.
1t is said to be found chiefly, if not
entirely, in the skin Of the potato, and
is soluble In boiling water, and we may,
we suppose, assume therefore that a very
young or a very old potato boiled in its
skin must be to some extent permeated
by solanine, and must be nnwholesome
to an extent that may become serious il
partaken of in large quantities. An
other unsupported source of poison is
said to be maize, or Indian corn. A dis
ease as fatal IN Italy as consumption is
iu this country is attributed entirely to
the exclusive use of this cereal, which ia
thought to be especially dangerous if
ground in a damaged condition-dam-
aged, we suppose, by incipient decay,
though that is not stated. There Is
said TO be one remarkable fact connect
ed with the disease which is thought to
have its origin in this source-the dis
ease known as pellagra. Sufferers from
it who commit suicide always do so by
drowning, fact explained by the pleas
ure afforded by the sight or touch of
water, which constitutes a symptom OF
this disorder.
