both soul and body for the purpose of
INDUCING depraved appetite or taste
for fluid the most sickeaing and beast
~ conceivable, and which outrages
every sense of honor and decencyi The
fact is beyond contradiction the alco-
hol in fermented liquors now in such
general use is the excrement of millions
of microbes which are imperceptible
save under the most powerful lenses,
although floating in myriads all through
the lower strata of our atmosphere.
This alcohol when taken into the stom-
ash, destroys both lung and brain It's
sues, and undermines all manly strength
and personal beauty.
Alcohol does not possess any of the
properties of food, and can not conse-
quently contribute to the building up or
nourishment of the system. It does not
assimilate with the blood, and there
fore but disintegrates and gnaws away
our tissues, and acts as a persistent irri-
tant to every fiber of our system.
Hence, even in the smallest quantities,
alcoholic beverages, such as beer,
whisky, wine, brandy, ETC., can never
be taken with impunity sooner or later
they will manifest their baleful inf1u-
ences.
As a result CT this indulgence, we
may witness in every station of life the
red nose, the bleared eye, the lettering
limbs, the bloated face, the impaired
or ruined intellect, the empty purse and
ragged back, and the loss of every
sense of pride. manhood and personal
cleanliness. Gradually or speedily the

she monster vice until he is thrust out

ployment of woman. They say that
her life is demanded for the duties of
maternity and Of the household, and
that h,r strength and nerves could no:
bear the imposition Of this new burden
OF responsibility. They say the func-
tons of active citizenship will detile
and degrade the delicacy of her nature.
They say there are many questions Of
State which she is not mentally fitted
to decide. and many offices which she
is not physically qualified to discharge.
They say that the processes of our
elections are unfit for her.

apply hardly ut all TO what ought to

The Latest Move Of . Party Conceived In
Sin AMI Organized by Crime.
Had the Democratic party been con-
ceived in sin and organized by crime.
its history for the last thirty years
could not have been different During
that eventful period 1t has been the
natural resort of every vice in politics
and every evil in society. 1t has fos-
tered the slave trade; it has enforced
ignorance it has encouraged lynch
law; it has outraged the ballot; it has
assaulted Republican institutions with
violence it has resortcd to bloodshed
as means to partisan end =; it has
stood for free whisky and its associ'
ated evils and. in turn, all these influ.
ences have resortcd to it for protection
and given it great proportion of it:
power.
1t is proper, therefore, that when an.
other organized evil petitions the Con.
gress of the United States for recogni-
ton. it should select representative
Democratic Senator for its champion.
Senator Call asks that the request OF
Utah for admission rs State be given
respectful hearing. He misstates
the case. 1t is polygamy. not Utah.
that asks admission. 1t is a monstrous
evil. bounded by no State or Territorial
lines. that asks the honor of recOgni-
ton in the sisterhOod of States. For
the present it may be content to abide
within the boundaries of Utah. But
like slavery of old, give it firm foot
hold anywhere. and it will reach out
until it shall permeate all the surround
ing States with its poison.
The Republicans of the Senate prop
erly met the danger at the very
threshold. and emphatically placed the
seal of their condemnation upon it.
Senator Edmunds, as usual, was alert
in detecting the insidious approaches
of Mormonism. Senators Paddock
and Stewart, who know from personal
investigation the real purpose of the
polygamists. exposed its objects, and
promise to follow up the attack.
The effort to push this Utah admis-
sion scheme will prove to be more
lively than interesting to its Demo
cratic hackers. A Mormon elder in
advance divulged the plan contem-
plated. He said that an understand
ing was had with the Democrats that
they should favor admission in return
for Mormon political support Thus

CHRONIC TEA-POiSONlNG.
Conditions Under Which Tea-Drinking Ia

Conditions Under Which Tea-Drinking Is
Positively Harmful.
There is 10 doubt that one of the
essential elements of tea. as well as
of coffee. is violent poison; but we
can not hence argue that all tea-drink-
ers are slowly poisoning themselves.
for the action of IN elementary sub
stance is modified by its combinations.
Still, tca-drinking is harmful under
certain conditions.
DR.. William n. Billiard, of Boston,
read an article on the subject at a late
meeting of the Massachusetts Medical
Society, which the society recommend
ed for publication. A year and half
ago the author published 4 paper, Civ
ing the results of somewhat extended
Investigations on the subject. These
were that the poison is not readily elm
mated. but accumulates in the SYSTEM;
that its prominent effect is on the young
and those who are in depressed phys
cal condition; that the average amount
of Oolong and Souchong teas (medium
grades) needed to produce injurious
symptoms is a little less than five cups
day. and that the most common
symptoms are loss of appetite, dyspep-
STA, palpitation, headache, vomiting
and nausea, combined with various
forms of functional nervous affections,
hysterical and neuralgia.
These results have been confirmed
by further Investigations - mostly
among women who are accustomed to
drink . considerable amount of tea
daily. without taking adequate food,
and when in an exhausted condition.
The vigorous and well-nourishcd and
those actively engaged in the open air
are not often similarly affected.
The nervous disturbance, due to
chronic tea-poisoning, is of peculiar
character. Says DR.. Bullard: 1.-THE
normal condition of the nervous sys-
tenn is disturbed and replaced by con-
dition of hypcr-excitability, or of a less
stable equilibrium. This is shown by
their want of calmncss. their general
restlessncss and irritabi!ity. and the
desire to be constantly moving. while.
at the same time. there is subjective
sensation of loss of self-control, and
of inability to act slowly. Such per-
sons are subject to exaggerated efforts
from ordinary impressions; they are
startled. jump at unexpected noises or
sensations, or. in other words. react
too freely to slight external influences.
