Christian Science Practitioners.

Some very interesting questions are likely
to grow out of what is known as the chris
tian science treatment of the sick. This
sort of treatment is becoming quite preva-
lent in some sections of the country, and it
is only question of time when somebody
will present test case in the courts to de-
termine whether those who practice it, as
well as those who resort to it, are not crimi-
nally liable in cases where it can be clearly
shown that life has been sacrificed
by it. There is no doubt
that persons suffering from certain
kinds Of diseases are benefited by means of
prayer. They are led to believe that they
are helped, and the hopeful frame of mind
which is thus produced assists them to over
come the disease from which they are suf-
fering, but it is doubtful if there is a we'll
authenticated case of a cure by the christian
science treatment where the patient would
not have recovered without it if belief in
a return to health had been brought about
and maintained by other means
While there are some cases in which the
christian science treatment is helpful in the
way indicated, there is no question but that
in the great majority of cases in which it is
resorted to it is of no assistance whatever.
If person were suffering severely from
malaria it is quite safe to say that he would
never improve in health if he were to de-
pend wholly on the christian science treat
ment. He might for time be led to think
by means of prayers, that he was getting
rid of the disease. but he would finally be
forced TO change his mind, and resort to
remedies that experience has proved to be
effective
A very interesting case, growing out of
the christian science treatment, has lately
come before a magistrate of Maiden, Mass
Mrs. Abby II. Corner was charged with
manslaughter because she neglected to
apply the ordinary methods of medical
treatment to her daughter a young lady
who was suffering from disease which, it
was clearly shown, would have yielded to
such treatment. Mrs. Corner is christian
science doctor, and she treated her daughter
according to her own method. The patient
was also a believer in that method. and
consented to trust herself to it. Under the
| circumstances, it is doubtful if the mother
can be punished, but if the patient had not
| been old enough TO understand the differ
ence between the christian science method
and the ordinary medical method of treat
| ing the sick, it is question whether the
mother could not be punished for negli-
gence. Other cases, however, are pretty
certain to arise, and the courts probably
will have determined finally the extent of
the criminal liability of those who. depend
ing upon the christian science treatment,
permit the sick in their charge to die for
want of proper medical remedies, and also
of those who practice the christian science
| treatment.

Chicago the Center of Interest.

Interest in the Chicago convention will
steadily increase until the republican ticket
is nominated. The st. Louis convention
has done its work, and very satisfactory
work it is. 1t simply expressed the wish of
the democrats in all parts of the country.
No voice was raised in the convention
against Mr.. Clevelaud's denomination, and
the nomination of Mr.. Thurman was sub
stantially unanimous. The platform ex-
presses the principles of the democracy
clearly, and it is, therefore, satisfactory to
every democrat. The outlook for the sue
cess of the democratic party is as promising
as the most enthusiastic democrat could
wish.
But who is to lead the republican party!
That is the most interesting question before
the country now. The MORNING NEWS
yesterday reviewed the chances of the
different candidates, but the best informed
Of the republican leaders do not pretend to
say who the nominee for president will be.
They are feeling about in the dark, as it
were, with the hope of discovering some
one who will unite the party and inspire it
with enthusiasm.
1t seems like nonsense to insist that there
is still possibility of Mr.. Blaine's nomina-
ton, and yet there are very many who OK
pect to see him nominated. Prominent and
far-seeing politicians at the ST. Louis con-
vention expressed the opinion that the out
come of the struggle at Chicago would be
Blaine. The New York Herald says that
the impression is strong in that city that
there is we'll organized movement to nomi-
nate him, and that no effort will be spared
to accomplish that object.
But how is he to be nominated in the face
of his positive refusal to permit his name to
go before the conventioni 1t is believed
that it will be done in this way; The ma
jority of the delegates are Blaine men. 1t
is noticeable that they are not now express
ing preference for any one of the aclfnowl-
edged candidates. Without their aid no
one can be nominated. They will scatter
their ballots so that no candidate will re-
ceive majority. This apparent struggle
to make nomination will be kept up for
several days, and until the delegates
are pretty well tired out Then Mr..
Blaine's name will be introduced, and
the excuse for nominating him will
be the necessity for doing sO-that the con-
vention cannot agree upon any other man.
Under such circumstances he might be
nominated almost unanimously, and if he
were, would he decline to accept? A careful
reading of his two letters of withdrawal is
well calculated to leave the impression that
he would not. The Herald says that this
programme is discussed by leading Republi-
cans. 1t appears to be a reasonable one
May there not still be a chance that Mr..
Blaine will be Mr.. Cleveland's opponent

The Voices of the Night.

Pleasant it was, when woods were green,
And winds were soft and low,
To lie amid some sylvan scene,
Where, the long dropping boughs between,
Shadows dark and sunlight sheen,
Alternate come and go.
Or where the denser grove receives
No sunlight from above,
But the dark foliage interweaves
In one unbroken roof of leaves,
Underneath whose slOping caves
The shadows hardly move.
Beneath some patrarchal tree
| lay upon the ground,
His heavy arms uplifted he
And all the broad leaves over me
Clapped their little hands in glee,
With one continuous sound.
slumbering sound, a sound that brings
The feelings of dream,
AS of innumerable wings,
AS, when the bell no longer swings,
Faint the hollow murmur rings
Ger meadow, lake and stream.
And dream of that which cannot die,
Bright visions came to me,
AS Tapped in thought l use to lie,
And gaze into the summer sky,
Where the sailing Clouds went by,
Like ships upon the sea.
Dreams that the soul OF youth engage
Ere fancy has been quelled;
Old legends of the monkish page,
Traditions of the saint and sage,
Tales that have the rhine of age,
And chronicles of ED
And loving still those quaint old themes.
Even in the city's throng
l feel the freshness of the streams
That crossed by shades and sunny CLEANS,
Water the great land of dreams,
The holy land of song.

Death OF a Japanese Toy Dog.
From the Baltimore Sun.


A wonderfully beautiful toy dog died Thurs.
day at Mr.. Robert CARROTS Mount Vernon
cause of death to be q small splinter of chicken
bone mbedded in the bowels. The little suf.
ferN had the attention three times daily of a
prominent physician, but science and expert
ence failed TO locate the peculiar trouble, and
peritonitis ensued, causing death. This unique
little pet was male Japanese pug of royal
stock, one of the pair sent on from Japan by
Mr.. Robert Garrett last winter. The pug was a
babe when he left Toxic, and had just attained
his growth when he died. His coat was the
lovehest old gold and pure white, and soft az
tho finest down. His nose was shorter than
ever was seen on an English pug and turned up
quickly, apparently in a supreme effort 10 make
a great turn with a small amount of material
In Japan, as in England, pugs are the aristo-
cratic dogs The female is in good health and
as kind. gentle and affectionate as can be de-
sired. She has grieved much about the loss of
her companion, and goes moaning about the
premises She every now and then approaches
some of the household, and by her actions seems
to be soliciting sympathy.

Is Inebriety Hereditary ?

A paper was read, day or two ago, be-
fore the congress Of anthropologists, now in
session in New York, on Hereditary Inc
briefly" which is attracting a great deal of
attention. The writer of the paper took
the ground that drunkenness is a disease.
and that it is transmitted from parents to
children. There is no doubt that great
many well-informed people hold this view,
and it maybe the correct one.
DR.. William A. Hammond, the eminent
Now York specialist in nervous diseases,
was asked his views on this interesting
subject. He said that the theory that
inebriety is transmitted is all nonsense
He declared that he had made a special
study of the subject, and that he never dis
covered anything TO induce him to believe
that a man is more liable to become an
inebriate because his father or mother was
one. He took the ground that drunken
ness was habit, and said that he never
knew of but one clearly established instance
of transmitted habit, and that was
of man who took cup of tea at exactly
midnight every night His father and
grandfather had the same habit. The man
whether or not his children had it.
Another New York specialist in nervous
diseases, DR.. C. E. Spitzka, who is now pre-
pairing a work ON insanity, has collected a
great many facts relating to drunkenness,
but he does not find from them that
inebriety is hereditary. He admits that
| alcoholism in the parents weakens the chill
| dren, and that the weaker the children the
more liable they are to contract intemper-
ate habits. Alcoholism in the ancestor is
more likely to produce epilepsy and imbe-
cility i'll the offspring, he thinks, than to re-
peat itself.
There are not wanting physicians who
entertain views opposed to those above
quoted. DR.. Edward c. Harwood of New
| York, for instance, who is quite successful
in the treatment of nervous diseases, saws
that in his practice, when he has traced the
| history of an inebriated patient, he has
generally discovered inebrioty in the fam
| lily. This ought not to prove a great deal
as the families in which
at least one drunkard can
be found are quite numerous DIR. II. T..
Loomis, of New York, holds that inebrietv
is hereditary TO certain extent, but believes
that it is much more likely to show itself in
the second and third generations than the
! first. He is satisfied that even if the off
| spring of drunkards have not an inherited
appetite for strong drink they acquire it
more easily than the offspring of temperate
people, and become wrecks much sooner.
1t seems that the doctors disagree on the
Al
reached that will be generally accepted,
there will have to DO further and more
searching investigation.

Hon. Fleming duBignon made for himself
a reputation as a strong exponent of tariff
reform Mt the st. Louis convention. As a
member of the committee on resolutions and
platform he ably seconded Mr.. Watterson
in securing full recognition of tariff re-
form. Mr.. Watterson stated to Mr.. du-
Bignon's friends that to the young Georgian,
as no called him, the party was indebted for
the victory of that part of the committee
that insisted upon the unqualified indorse-
ment of the tariff views of the President as
set forth in his message. The Georgia dele
CATION passed a vote of thanks to Mr.. du-
Bignon for the able manner in which he
represented the principles Of the Democratic
party, as set forth in the proceedings of the
recent state convention, and which were
virtually incorporated in the national plat
form.
