CURE OF DRUNKENNESS.

For year or two past an institution in
one Of the western states has been adver-
Using extensively its remedy for drunken
ness and publishing far and wide its cures.
People read the advertisements and &C
counts of cures effected, say it is quackery,
and do not even take the trouble to renem-
Der the name OF the physician who is the
discoverer Of the so-called remedy and the
proprietor Of the institute" And yet we
understand thousands of unmistakable
cures have been effected, some of them in
this city, where the patients have been
treated through the medium of the mails.
A reliable newspaper says there have been
more than 20 cures in Missouri, and
the presumption is that the showing
Is equally good in some other states. The
doctor doss not remove the temptation 70
drink nor rely upon the will power OF the
patient TO avoid the temptation; he
destroys the desire and takes away the
craving for drink, leaving the victim of
the habit free to GO through life without
fear of the temptations which beset al.
men.
One would think that il these cures are
really effected, if the drink habit is over
come, the temperance people especially
would hail the discovery with delight, aud
teach it and preach it with all the ear nest
ness of which they are capable. Wouldn't
such course be natural! But perhaps
there is politics mixed up with the Gauss of
temperance, in which the reform of drunk
ards may not be quite as desirable as the
wish to reform drunkards. At any rate it
seems somewhat peculiar for the good tenn
perance people TO be turning up their noses
at discovery whichls actually curing men
of the drink habit

TIE SPECTATORS, NOT THE FARMERS

The London Daily Ncrs, commenting on
the action of Russia in prohibiting the ex-
port of rye. says the American farmers are
masters of the situation as regards the
price of grain, and expresses the hope that
these farmers will use their power merci-
fully and not practice extortion. In one
sense the Ne,cs is correct in its estimate: in
another sense it talks at random. If the
American farmers were in the financial
condition which they should be in, they
would Indeed be masters of the situation
and could command almost any price
they might ask. The grain yield of
America will undoubtedly be larger
this year than ever before, wnile
in Europe and Asia the harvests are short
All our surplus wheat will be required to
feed the people OF the old world, most of
whom have, in the past, drawn their SUD-
plies from the east AS matter of course
the price of our wheat will go up to such
a figure as it is thought the hungry people
add immensely to her wealth by reason of
her bounteous harvest.
But we doubt that the American farmer
is master Of the situation as regards prices.
or that he will prove to be much Of a factor
in the case. 1t may even be doubte that
he will be consulted in the matter. One OF
the idlest of schemes is that devised
by Alliance financiers by which farmers are
TO hold their grain until they can command
their own prices for it. This would be all
right if the conditions necessary to its sue
cess existed, One of the necessary condi-
tions would be unity of action on the part
of all the farmers, the million or such
matter OF grain growers all holding their
surplus wheat until such time as hungry
buyers would pay the price demanded.
Another condition essential to the success
of the scheme would be the providing of
every farmer with bank account of suf
ficent proportions to pay his bills until he
could sell his grain on his own terms.
Now every intelligent person knows that
it would be simply impossible to
get the multitude of wheat grow
ers, scattered as they are almost
across the continent to act in HARMONY: to
hold the farmers of Oregon, Washington
and California back to await the conven-
fence Of those Of Kansas, lows and Illinois.
A combine Of the proportions necessary
to success is SO absurd that we wonder that
intelligent men discuss the matter. But
suppose the farmers could be brought to
act together, none Of them selling except

CANADA Is about ripe for annexation to
the Republican party. Corruption and
iobbery were never more tiourishing in the
dominion than they are today. There is,
however still some distinction between the
two countries. In Canada cabinet min

deal, though heprotest his innocence, while
in this country a cabinet minister like
JOIN WANAMAKER continues in Office under

Trieste vessels pillow the Adriatic, the Med

never suspected that, subsidized as the
company is, and monopoly as it has on
shipbuilding, there could be any financial
difficulties in view.
