Tho Proper Free Tfado Canuiosto.
The Hon. JOSEPH d. SAVERS, who repre-
sents the Tenth Texas district In Congress.
does Justice TO our great original FREQ trader,
the Hon. WILLIAM R. MORRISON. by bring
ing him forward as candidate for the free
trade nomination for President.
Tho Hon. ROGER QuARLEs MILLS may
feel little hurt, and the Stuffed Prophet
may culver at this nomination. but 1t is the
proper nomination II the Democrats want .
free trader. Long before It was in tho
power Of the Stuffed Prophet to defeat his
party by saddling upon It his stolen ideas
about tariff smashing. Mr.. MORRISON WAS
resolute and able champion OF tho great
free trade idea. He was working for FREQ
trade years before Mr.. CLEVELAND had
assimlated the notions which. as coon as
they had succeeded In forcing their way
through his inteneotuals, he believed to be .
great truth discovered and proclaimed by
himself. Mr.. MORRISON happened to know
something about tho subject. Mr.. OL1vD-
LANDS learning In It mainly consists In q
string Of assumptions which he has learned
to repeat by rote. Yet he has turned up st
the eleventh hour 10 claim all the reward,
while the man who bore the burden and heat
OF the day for free trade r. only . some
what obscure Commissioner Of Interstate
Commerce, whose torn will expire next
year, and who doesn't seem TO have any
chance Of being reappointed.
Mr.. MORRISON Is the genuine ffeo tzado
candidate. and all others are limitations. BE
is an older as we'll as . better fFee trade
soldier than Mr.. CLRv1lAND. and bis friends
ought to insist upon his right TO the free
trade nomination. 1t il ptsposteFo0s that
late and raw recruit should assume I'll the
honors Of defeat which was prepared By IN
abler hand.
Mr.. SAVERS thinks that Mr.. MoR1rsoN
could pull down flns assortment OF RAIN
bowsi In tho Northwest, and no certainly could
gather In as many as Mr.. CnEvE1AND. Mr..
MORRISON Is too modest. He should buy
horn Of his own and blow Il with all tho
strength Of his lungs. False modesty viii
not stand in tho way Of his rival.

Drunkenness Among Women.

DR.. LUCY NJ. HALL. lecturing at Cooper
Union on Tuesday evening. reported that
she has found, as the result OF careful inves-
legations Of the subject, that drunkenness
is becoming alarmingly frequent among
women. Habits of drinking are extending,
more especially among the Rirls employed
In factories and workshops, and, as they are
more likely to generate morbid dependence
on stimulants In women than In men, the
vice. or disease, Of inebriety grows rapidly
there, according to the observation Of this
woman physician.
1t is undoubtedly true that the women OF
this country In all circles of society drink
more alcohol now than formerly. The
amount Of the stiElulant consumed by them
per head must be considerably greater than
it was twenty-five years ago, or at any pre-
vious period since the great temperance
agitation which resulted in the passage Of
the famous Maine Liquor law In 1851. As
wealth and luxury have increased the num-
Der OF tables upon which vino Is served
regularly has multiplied enormously. and
the women Of the households partake OF it
very generally. The introduction OF lager
beer during tho last generation has also had
tendency to increase greatly the oonsump-
ton OF alcohol among women. A large part
OF the working people OF all the large towns
drink lager beer regularly at their meals.
buying 1t by the quart at neighboring
saloons Tho crowds at tho beer gar
dens In tho evening arc composed
usually Of about as many women as
mon. Every corner liquor shop. also, has
o side door by which women are admitted to
a special compartment for their use. Tho
great majority Of the women OF New York
are moro or less regular consumers of
alcoholin some form. The Germans OF both
sexes are almost invariably drinkers OF beer
or light wines, and the drinking habits OF
the Irish are well known; and people OF the
blood OF these two races make up two-thirds
Of the population.
It Is inevitable, therefore, that drunken
ness among women should exist to some
extent, and that 1t should be proportionatsly
greater than formerly. Ystit Is by no means
ono OF the crying OWLS Of the day which II
seems to DR.. HALL to be. Tho specialist
in medicine is always sure to find that the
particular disease he searches for Is rife. Tho
average appearance Of our women indicates
that they have improved In their physical
condition during the period In which this
increase In their consumption Of alcohol
has occurred. They are taller and stronger
than they used to be. and the average
height of tho children Of women In the most
luxurious circles Of the town Is greater.
Yet DR.. HALL has reason to warn her
sisters against the habitual use Of any slim.
ulant whatever, for unquestionably 1t In
wolves great danger to themselves and their
posterity. Alcoholic indulgence is not the
most pernicious OF the present forms Of sdm-
ulation. but II is likely to lead to tho otherA
and every apothecary shop nowadays is flled
with new and dangerous tonics and seda-
tives. and offers the temptation to those who
have shattered their nerves. This tendency
to become dependent on stimulants Is 90

CONSUMPTION xNcRRAsINa.

The state BosrA OF Health Diseases the
Question OF Quarantine or 1solation.
ALBANY, Jan Lit may bs OF interest to the
thousands Of oonsumptives In this State and
the hundreds Of thousands throughout the
country. to know that Health Boards and sani-
tary experts are seriously considering the sd-
visibility Of putting all those aff1icted BY the
Great White Plague IN the strictest OF quar-
antines, ,ss is now done with smallpox patients.
and not few sanitarians favor the complete
isolation OF consumptiveA Tho cause Of this
ID tho now accepted belief among physicians
that consumption is moro contagious than
hereditary. and IL directly communicable from
ono person to another through the active
agency OF It's disease germs. the diminutive,
rod-like bacilii.
For years medical authorities and Ratherers
Of mortality ststistios have been confronted
with the fact that consumption is annually
killing OF moro Of the population than any
other one disease or many groups Of diseases.
The New York State Board Of Health records
show that In 1885 there were 140 deaths due to
consumption to every 1000 dying during the
year from all other causes. The total figures
were: Deaths from all causes, 80.407: from
consumption. 11.23a For the four succeeding
years the figures for Now York State are a.
follows:
Total number deaths. 90 q IL ,os 10 ,Jssss

About this same ratio is maintained in other
States. DR.. A. Arnold Clark Of Lansing. Mioh.,
estimates that for every death from small -pox
IN Michigan there arc ffty or moro deaths
'rfSsd SSsIne 70 SYRnsgmpdSssns0 amp ,..
the STATE Board Hesth as she ds
ststss sTics eqSrseng New Y9rk ely. Long i'ls6a
persons died Of consumption.
Among the Interesting experiments made to
demonstrate that consumption is contagious
are those OF Dr.. Cornet Of the Berlin Hygienio
Institute. who found that spopRe scrapngs
from the walls Of rooms occupied BY consump-
tive patients tnoculated IN guinea pigs pro-
duoed consumption In those animals By
further experiments DR.. Cornet found that It
I was n9s the breath Of the Sonsumptive that
gputs OF consumptives had been allowed to
Dry on the noors or in ouspidors. the germs
had risen with the dust swseplngs, ard COW
cred not only the walls. but dishes. draperies
pictures and everything in the room. This
was 90 virulont as to produce the disease sew
oral weeks after the patient had left the room.
a. Ihis germ theory naturally leads to plans for
the prevention OF tho spread Of consumption.
Just as precautionary measures are taken to
restrtctthe ravagss OF smallpox and cholera
And thus We have learned savants In the med
antine and the isolation Of consumptives. In
the State Board Of Health the subject OF such
quarantine has been seriously discussed,
and the enactment OF health laws and their
enforcement relating to consumption have
been suggested.

New York and Brooklyn.

From among those whose demonstrations
Of exultaton and rejoicing over tho great
Democratic victory Of 1890 are being pro-
longed into the new year, uncommonly little
is heard In recognition Of the Democrats Of
those constituencies upon which, In the
great national contest which Is approaching.
the party must depend for success. In this
State. for instance. tho election Of a
Congressional delegation from New York
to Washington In which Democrats
predominate, in place OF ono having q
Republican majority. is attlngly celebrated,
and the attainment, despite the barrier Of an
unjust and obsolete apportionment, Of a
Democratic majority In the Legislature is
not forgotten. But no harm can come Of
discovering and remembering Just how these
results, so encouraging to the Democracy
Of the nation, were secured and where the
majorities which rendered them possible
were obtained.
New York State sent to the House OF Rep
resentatives, over which Mr.. REED presides,
10 Republicans and1 Democrats. Omitting
from tho list the representatives OF New
York and Brooklyn, the delegation elected
in the tidal wave Of 1890 consists Of II Re-
publlcans and II Democrats. New York and
Brooklyn added 12 to the Democratic
column; without their members the delega-
tlon from this State would be tie.
The Democratic majority In tho next
Legislature on joint ballot is two votes In
other words, there will be in tho Senate and
Assembly combined 81 Democrats and 70
Republicans. Toward this total New York
and Brooklyn contribute II Democrats and
Republicans. Omitting their represent
stives, tho Legislature would stand: DEM
ocrats, 40; Republicans, "a. In year Of
exceptional success for the Democracy,

Nor 10 this result peculiar to tho recent elec-
hon. On the contrary. the saving Demo-
cratic majority in the State has. for many
pears. invariably come from these locali-
Ges. To go no further back than 1888, these
have been the majorities In each year by
which tho Republicans have carried SO of
the 90 counties Of the State, with New York
and Kings alone on the Democratic side:
