STATEMENTS CONTRARY TO TRUTH.

"Ihe New-York Times' cannot afford to tell
the truth about the new tariff. Commenting on
Mr.. McKinley's speech, it says:
The percentage of free imports is larger than 1t
under the old tariff by nearly third Precisely, but
the increase is due solely to repeal of the suear
duty
The official reports show that the value Of all
imports for the nine months during which the
new tariff has been in operation was S59S,S16,-
90 of which 1926, 1862, 1868 was free of duty.
Deducting the value of sugar formerly dutiable.
but now free, namely S42, ,505, IA the remain
ing imports free of duty for the nine months
were S253, 457 $50, and that sum is 423 per
cent Of the total imports for the nine months.
But during the corresponding months of the
previous year the value of all imports was
1868, AIS, 636, and the value of all imports free
of duty was sos, ,9S3,s 1878, and this latter sum
is only 36.7 per cent of the total imports. Hence
" The Times" does not state the truth. The
value and the proportion of free imports. entirely
exclusive of the sugar for the first time admitted
free under the new tariff, have increased largely.
This msstatement is not the kind Of error that
can readily be attributed 10 a failure of recollec-
ton, or a blunder in figuring. The assertion was
made with an obvious political purpose. The Of
iciai reports are al hand in every newspaper Of
flee. In five minutes time any writer or editor
could have asceraned the precise facts, as stated
on official authority. But the facts would not
fit the argument, and something else was sub
stituted, it may be charitably assumed without
the trouble of looking at the official reports at
all. In the very next sentence the same paper
says:
Inc country is obliged to pay absurd bountcs on all
sorts of sugar, an indefinite amount which cstl
mated at 10 per cent OF the duty sugar. and Is al
ready sure 20 be three or four times that sum-
This assertion also is contrary to official nfor-
nation. The amount Of duty paid on sugar and

1S DRTYEEyyFSS CTR18LE,

A great sensation has been stirred up in the
West by the pretended discovery that the
double chloride Of gold is a sovereign specific
for dipsomana According to the testimony of
four well-known medical specialists, in "The
North American Review for September, the
claim is il-grounded. Roger Bacon nearly five
hundred years ago thought he had found in
tincture of gold the true elixir of life, and a
gold preparation has for years been employed
hypodermically and in other ways, in the treat
ment of confirmed drunkards Two of the con-
trbuting physicians declare that they have
never been able to perceive its efficacy, and the
general experience of the medical profession
is in the same direction. Drunkenness being
disease of the mental and moral faculties as
well as of the body, it stands to reason that
remedies of purely physical application may not
be trusted to counteract it,
This is substantially the ground taken by all
the participants in "The Review discussion Of
the wider subject indicated above. Their argrl-
ments show that medical science is as far from
pointing to a panacea as ever but their intclli-
gent appreciation of the true pathological con-
ditions and of the necessity for varied treat
ment is highly cOmmendabe and encouraging
Dr. r. d. Crothers, the head of an inebriate
asylum at Hartford, offers some remarkable
statistics concerning the causes of drunkenness.
Heredity, he says is responsible for so per cent
of the cases In 30 per cent disease and in
jury establish the craving Ten per cent arc
due to brain and nerve exhaustion, and in 3
per cent defective sanitation or poor food is
responsible, while many Of the causes are often
combined. The uniformity in causation. de-
velopment and termination is really startling
all drmkards beginning at a certain point and
marching by the same route to the same sad end.
All four contributors agree as TO the abso-
lutte durability of the disease in many cases and
the point is made that hereditary drunkards
often unnecessarily frighten themselves into tho
delusion thst they are beyond help. Violent
punishment is held TO be as little eficacous "a
wholesale prohibition or .ervent appeals 70 en-
feebled emotions. DR.. Cyrus Edison cites the
statement that 4" in England, of 500 900 per-

az per cent remained temperate seven and ten
wears after discharge; and OF 5000 cases

ton, "35 per cent OF all the living persons who
had been under treatment from eight to twelve

cans arc said to be more susceptible to the evil
effects of alcohol than Europeans. Uncongenal
marriages appear to cause larger ratio Oh
nebriety than celibate loneliness, and out OF
ten professions noted physicians supplied the
greatest number of cases among 5000 and
actors the lowest.
As to modes of treatment, 1t is clear that
isolation amid proper surroundings may accom-
plish much, by removing predisposing cause
and facilitating the buiding-up Of perverted
nutrtive system. If victim is curaoie al
all, and in the vast majority of cases his chances
are excellent he will be freed from temptation
at time when continued abstinence is eminent
" essential to the ultimate result. In view OF
the fact that a large number OF old criminals,
idiots and detectives" come from the ranks
of drunkards, DR.. Cr6thers goes so far as to
recommend that all drunkards should be arrest
ed and confined in State industrial hospitals
until they are cured. The changes involved
may well inspire profitable speculation, while
the project itself is unapproved. 1t is certain,
however. that theories which represent the evli
as positively incurable are altogether at 1auit'

THIS SEAsoNs TENNIS pLAYATNEWPoRT.


The tennis tournament at Newport this year
was An uncommonly hard fought contest, ana
developed what was doubtless the finest play ever
seen in this country. To those who have watched
tennis this season, Campbell's victory has proved
no surprise The young champion Is a haru
fighter. and he has endurance that is most val
liable supplement to the high skill and nervous
strength. as well as the fine "head work that
mark the best tennis play of to-day Ills utle
has been fairly won and held. The work at the
tournament Just closed seems to have shown
noticeable superiority that even OF last year
Indeed the advance in the standard OF the game
in America within the last ten years has Deen
uneoualed i'm any other branch of sport Each year
has noted distinct gain. Our players, OF course
developed their game on the lines laid down by
the best English players; but whereas uecauc
ago there was nobody here who couid eApecC
to make an even showing with those experts
there is now hope that there might be some eiory
for American players in an international contest
Probably a few years more, at the rate of progress
hitherto shown, will make the prospect stlll
more pleasing one but lovers of the sport in
America certainly have good ground to think that
before long game of tennis can be put up IN
this country that will offer at least considerable
difficulty for the British players.
1t is a noteworthy fact that many of the Lead
ing players at Newport this year, as Tor several
years past, have been the younger men, those
whose names have figured prominently for only
a few years. The men who first won distinction
in tennis in this country, even champions Of
former times, have appeared principally as referees
and umpires and enthusiastic spectators, in which
capacity they have enlivened the play and made
important contributions to the higher criticism
of CiIe game The fact is that to the younger
generation of players is due the great progress
that the art and science of tennis have made.
They have been brought up in the game, so to
speak, have made it their own, and have ac-
qured mastery as well as a power of devel-
oping their play indefinitely that is impossible
to men who took up the sport when further along
in years. This was one respect In which the
Englishmen had the advantage Of us; for the game
in Great Britain, even leaving hundreds of years
of court tennis out Of the question, had con-
siderable start before it generally introduced
on this side of the ocean. 1t is to these young
giants of tennis, therefore, that we must look
for the development of the sport in increasing
measure, and for honors that hitherto have not
fallen to our lot in this country.
