said this method was having good effect
on rum drinkers in Massachusetts,.

John Blsckmer. of Springfield. Mass. both
spoke on 'AlcohOl VS.. Ammonia in Cases of
Pneumonia" Both were opposed to the
use of alcohol for medicinal purposes. and
said it should be abolished. They said
that physicians who prescribed alcohol
were the principal aids of the liquor inter-
est. Dr. j. Henry Carver. of New York.
said alcohol was poisonous, and only
one ounce was all q temperate man
could drink without feeling its ef-
fects. He said in cases of ex-.
treme exhaustion and old age alcohol
might DE used without bad effects,
and often with good result. However.
alcohol was injurious TO the inner organs.
Mr.. s. ID. Hall cited many cases of persons
who had used alcohol and set forth its
effects. While some. he said, were able to
use it to excess, In most cases the reverse
was true. and he was opposed to its use for
medicinal purposes.

The Ohio Democrats Advised to Strike No
Bargains with Him.


Bargains with Him.
New York Staats-Zeitung.
So far we have had no opportunity to say
anything praisewOrthy about Secretary
Foster, but we cannot refrain from pay
ing him our compliments for the courage
he displayed in dealing with that Knight
of Labor who demanded the Secre-
tary's interference with regard to the
dismissal of certain knights of Labor
from the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. 1t Is said that the Knights
bad threatened revenge on Mckin-
ley if their companions should not be
renstated. but if they cannot influence the
dmnistratiOn by their threat. their power
seems not TO amount to much. In fact,
any one who would only pay little atten-
ton could readily See that Powderly's Or
der is nothing more than u damaged bal
loon. from which the gas escapes through
G,any rents. But Notwithstanding this
iscI. l. would not have seemed strange If
politician like Foster would have yielded

and it is yet doubtful what he would have
done If he had not found powerful ally in
the arch enemy of the knights-the FEEDER
alton of Labor
We must confess that we do not wish to
see the Knights carry out their threats, for
we are convinced that 1t would help Nc
Kinley materially If they did. The reaction
against such use. or misuse. of the labor or
ganiZatIon would naturally bring more
votes IN support of Mckinley than that
humbugger. Powderly. could draw from
