THERE was great meeting in New York city
on Tuesday night in favor of the mayoralty can
didacy of Henry George A number of very
noted men spoke, among them Father Edward
McGlynn. In his remarks he said:
"The other day the Pharisees and dudes were
expressing wonder again and again why it was
that the workingmen did not have the courage to
nominate a candidate of their own and show
their earnestness. Well, here we have Henry
George, an honor to his country and an honest
man. What do the mugwumps do9 Forthwith

George-Is he in society, you know he
newed laughter. Well, we can reply iproudly
that Henry George is in society," and a society
ten times more honorable worthy and humane
than any society that your dudes and Pharisees
belong to. Prolonged applause. If there be
an animal upon two feet that is to me insuffer-
able and unbearable, even at distance, it is the
mugwump. Laughter. His immense sense of
superiority. the ease with which he dismisses the
aspirations of nation, the cool hauteur
with which he will pass over the histories of
continents and nations to get at one little point

stuff that a mHgwump is made of is a nice

this particular clay is not dirty at all, and it
lasts longer and looks nicer than the clay we are
made of. Laughter. There, now, is the mug

The Church Temperance Society.

The reports made to the fifth annual
convention of the Church Temperance
Society remind us Of the change in the
situation. as regards practical Temper
ance work, within very few years
past. For quite period before that
time variety of causes had combined
to concentrate attention of legal meth
obs of cxtirpating intemperance, in
place of the voluntary agencies that
had so wonderfully improved the hab-
its and morals of this country in the
course of generation or more of Tenn
perance agitation.
The Church Temperance Society is
one of the many results of revival of
voluntary efforts in behalf of the Tenn
perance cause, that seems to be grow
ing and spreading all over the conn
try, with the most encouraging indica-
tons OF great results in the future
One of the most interesting features of
the Church Temperance Society is that
which interests. cnlists and organizes
the youths of from fourteen yers to
tw' nty.one years of age. in the Order
of the Knights of Temperance. This
organization is admirably calculated
to inspire the best class of boys with
the enthusiasm Of their Temperance
convictions, and seems to be a success
from the start But the Church Tenn
perance work gives scope for the ac-
tivity and cooperation of the old and
young, of both sexes. and is enkindlinc
greater and greater inter st every
month. In few years it will be felt

In an article on "lnebriate Mani.

Popular Science Monthly. there occurs
the following. which has local inter-

given in the Tracy will case. We sug-
gest that careful study Of the whole

OF the medical profession: Hardly
year passes that bank defsulters,.
forgers and swindlers do not appear
among men whose previous character
has given no intimation of such
career. When their secret history is
ascertainod, the use OF cohol, opium
and other drugs is found to be COM
mon. Ano,he. class of previously rep
utable sane men suddenly commit
crimes against good morals. The un-
usual boldness of their acts point to in
sanity, and it is then found that they
are secret or open drinkers, US ny al
cOhos or compounds of opium. Such
men come into politics with most in
sane ambition for Office and childish
dellrium to appear In public as great
men.
"Thry often become enthusiastic

along very unusual lines of conduct
and doing unusual things. 81 ms of
mental failure are clearly traced in the
childish credulity. or extraor iinary
skeptcism, or extreme secretiveness,
which are all foreign to the history Of
their past Then. at last, such men
leave str .nge wills with strange be-
quests. They are contested; tn expert
is called in; and while he is certain of
insanity and irrespon,inility OF the
testator from the history, he can not
make 1t appear clearly to the court.
These cases are more or less familiar
to every one, yet the history of drink
ing or using narcotics is concealed. In
an instance Of recent date. the will Of
q very rich man contained large be-

was q very strange and unusual act;
but the IRIS rather than expose the SO.

very generous deed, but in reality it
was the mere freak of maniac,
"These people appear to all general
observa ion sane. and fully conscious
of the nature and the character of their
acts; yet they are in state of intel

comes out prominently in the strange
unusual conduct. The co.ordinating
brain-cent4rs are so damaged as to
prevent healthy, consistent uni orm

but an ever increasing under-current

normal brain health. When public
opinion recognizes that the occasional

will be RECOGNIZED as diseased. and

Medical and scientific men must teach
