TREATMENT FOR DRUNKENNESS,

a year ago the Koch method of treat
ing consumptives engrOssed the attention
of the reading public; today it is the
Keeley method of relieving those who
suffer from an uncomfortable thirst for
intoXicants. The diScoverer of the cure
was Dr. Kelley of Dwight, Ill.,, and it
consists essentially of the hypodermic in
lection four times day of solution of
bichloride of gold, the exact composition
of which is a secret. The patients are
permitted to drink as much whiskey as
they like, but it is not long after the
treatment begins before the desire for it
changes into intense dislike. Hundreds
have been treated at Dwight, which has
indeed, from all accounts reforming
seems to be the chief industry of this
hitherto little known place. The re-
formed have organized an association
and the members are so well pleased over
what has happened to them that they
are telling the whole world how bad they
used to be. Among these confessors for
the public benefit is Mr.. j. +. Mines, who
writes of his experiences at Dwight in
the current North American Review. He
was once clergyman and latterly has
devoted his attention to literature. He
says that for 20 years he was "perio-
dical drunkard," one of the sort who
keep sober for a greater or less period
and are then seized with what he calls a
"fever for drink a power that it was
simply impossible for him to resist.
Seclusion in his own home and even in
an asylum did no good lie was grow
ing worse steadily till he went to Dwight.
There he found undergoing treatment
"lawyers, physicians, editors, merchants,
three Judges, the attorney general of one
of the new States at the West, an eX-CUn-
gresham, and an assorted lot of half a
dozen State Senator's" including Editor
Opie Read of the Arkansaw Traveller,
Judge Thayer of Indiana and several other
notables whose names he is permitted to
give. Mr.. Mines had been under treat
ment two weeks, when, he says, "sud-
denly, as if had stepped out of the
blackness of an African jungle into the
quiet sunshine of Central Park, | broke
out of my living tomb and knew that |
was cured. The knowledge came to me
like IA benediction from heayen." Mr.
Mines adds that of the association, of
some $50 members, made up of those who
have undergone the Kelley treatment,
but six have returned to their old habits.

TALk Is CHEAP.

An agricultural paper printed down in
Massachusetts, whose solcitude for the
welfare of the farmers of Vermont is ex-
ceeded only by its desire for their sub
scriptions, has gotten together list of
available lecturers. rs 1t believes that the
crying need of the State is more talk to
while away the long winter evenings.
The list is not particularly attractive; its
most pronounced feature is the cheapness
of the talk offered. Prof Cooke of the
agricultural college comes highest $40
to S25, according to the time he uses up.
Principal Campbell of the johnson nor
nal school will tell about his "wander-
ings in Europe" for SO, 'possbly less"
Chas, 5. Louis of South Reading, who
ever he may be, is willing to discourse
on "The cause of low prices, "Class leg
islation." etc. at the low rate of 81 a
night. Prof. +. VI. Reid of East Corinth
comes higher, but he ought to be worth
more, as he is ''dramatic. dialect and
humorous elocutionist," and 81 Il night
vices. Then there are lot of other ge-
muses. who are in the market at So a
night, and there are still others in the
field who will talk for their expenses.
These latter individuals will have hard
shedding, we fear; it will be suspected
that they are running still-hunt for the
governorship, and the rest of the aspir-
ants in the State will keep them out of
their towns if they can.
1t may be that our contemporary is
right in its assumption that plenitude
of paid yawp is the thing Vermonters sigh
and long for; but if it knew them better
it might be less cock-sure on that point.
Lyceums is what it proposes to have the
organizations called that are to engineer
these lectures. But the object of the
Vermont lyceum is not to give outsiders
a chance to be heard; its primary and
chief object is to afford an opportunity
for the natives to speak. a lyceum wont
go unless there are 'disputants, and it
utterly fails of an excuse for existence
unless the 'disputants" mop the floor, so
to speak, with the fellows on the other
side and show that they haven't shadow
of reason for maintaining that war kills
more people than rum, or that the Chin
ese should not be excluded, or that pro-
hibition is a failure. What the horse
race at the county fair is in September
and the pursuit of the partridge and squr-
the winter, the main fun available. List
ening to prosy lectures, or even to a
"humorous and dramatic eocutionist,
wont fill the bill at all.

1t seems to be clearly shown by this
writer that there is at least temporary
relief offered victims of drink by the
Kelley method, and it is certainly to be
hoped that the cures effected at Dwight
will prove permanent; but it will take
time to establish that fact.
1t is interesting to note in this connec-
ton the recent legislation of Saxony on
the subject of intoxicants. The Kelley
theory is, of course, that drunkenness is
disease. The medical men of Saxony.
on the other hand, say that there is no
such thing as dipsomana; that people
drink because they want to, not because
they can't help it. Accordingly the laws
of the country have been so amended as to
put the whole responsibility for the re-
suits of drinking on the drinker.

IHE LAX LAW.

The Middlebury REGISTER answers the
complaint of several papers that the tax
alton of money is driving capital out of
the state by saying in effect that legis-
lature of farmers will tax money in
whatever form and to any extent to the
end that taxation may rest the more light
ly on stock and other personal property
This is natural, but it may be doubted if
even the farmers are benefit ed in the end
by the shortsighted policy of following
up and levylng on every dollar a man
can accumulate in whatever form it is in

The census returns on the mortgage
Indebtedness of Kansas by no means
bear out the assertions made by the ALI
ance orators year ago in the campaign
then raging and more recently by Peffer
and others of the calamity howlers. In
the ten years preceding 1890 real estate
mortgages to the amount of $4S2, ,699, $40
were recorded in the State, but in 1890
more than one-half of these had been
paid off; of what remained, Il per cent
only were on farms, the rest being on
town lots. The average amount of each
mortgage debt was but SSGO.9G, while
ing the mortgages was Sl797.9O.

fact that young Mcintyre, son of the

The Argentine Republic is not happy
or contented country, nor is it first
class place to sell fast horses in. but it is
serving purpose now something akin to
that of the reformed drunkard at the
temperance lecture, with this difference,
that it hasn't reformed. Its experiences
growing out of the imitation of its curren-
cy ought to discourage the advocates of
cheap money in this country. A gold
dollar was worth almost five dollars of
the government currency down there at
last accounts, the government had sus-
pended gold payments for two years and
a new kind of money composed of silver
and nickel had been adopted. 1t was also
proposed to issue four and half millions
