SOME WHO DOUBT.

A German specialist, DR.. Z. HEN
RICHs. of Berlin, has spent consider
able time of late in this country, tray-
cling about gathering information of
the various methods it is claimed wilt
cure inebriates of the alcohol taste. He
seems to be a candid and unpreJudlced
gentleman, DESTROYS of gathering facts
only. SO far as his conclusions are
given out. some of the cases have merit
and are not to be ignored by the medical
profession, yet none are absolute cures
He would have hospitals and institu-
tons Tor the treatment of drunkenness
on scientific principles, both as disease
and vice. Still, he does not be-
leve there can be any approach
to a complete extinction of inebriety
as long as there are any liquors manu-
featured and sold. He was not hopeful
of that cOnsummation while the grains
and fruits from which they are produced
are allowed to grow. He was not pre-
pared to accept the KELLEY cure as
meeting the claims made for it, or even
the best of the various methods. A st.
Paul chemist yesterday, in speaking of
the KELLEY cure, termed the reported
ingredients Of the injection active and
dangerous poisons. He was not sur
prised that deaths were frequent among
those treated in the Illinois way. 1t
was quite possible, however, to infuse
into the system a harmless drug that
would create permanent disability
to swallow liquors. Personal expert
ments had satisfied him of thi 5, but he
was not going into that line of business.
He was not greatly impressed with the
disease theory. A man without much
will force OF moral strength would not
often be permanently reclaimed by the
KELLEY Or any similar method. He
would. however, award it the credit of
expediting the death of parties notre-
formed by it, and perhaps of some that
did not relapse into the alcoholic habit.
1t appears to be the opinion of medical
scientists that the per cent of mortality
is very great among those treated by the
injection methods.

RUINED LAWMAKERS.

There is vacancy in the Office of
rainmaker in the Yuma tribe of Indians
near Los Angeles, Cal. Mr.. Melbourne
might apply for the position--Philadel-
iphia Call.
The Yuma Indians kill their medicine
men when they pray for rain to no pur-
pose. A long-sufferIng public will soon
be forced TO adopt similar measures if
the rain-lnaking frauds do not automat-
ically subside.-Denver Times.
Melbourne and Dyrenfurth will do

The medicine man OF the tribe failed to
bring rain, although requested to do so
by all his tribe, and he was killed forth
with as an imposter.- Rapids
Democrat.
Who knows but that in 1891, when
every community will have its local
raimaker and general medicine man,
men may be compelled, in defense
against Quackery, to kill off those who
do not perform their gilded promises
and fail to deliver weather upon de-
mand. Patriot.
The Yuma Indians who put medi-
cine man to death for not bringing rain
are tTitie radical in their modes of pro-
cedure. One of the remarkable differ
enees between the whites and the In

sor of medicine often takes as much
risk as his patients do.-W ashington

The temptation to people in making a
platform for political party is TO put
too much into it. Value is likely to be
measured 10y quantity. This is more
particularly the case with the experts
who would build parties to ill pro-
grammes rather than exchange the con-
ditions of an organization that grows
out of need of the times. The party
architects who have i'll recent times
been lowering and toiling about
Cincinnati. indianapolis and other
places, have furnished compilations
of purposes and possibilities sufficient
for half-doZen parties, and will, per-
hapS, result in an approach to that
number. The good ladies, however,
who have just held their worlds con-
vention at Boston, as the W. c. L. o.,
have generously left few reformatory
measures to other organizations without
imputations of encroachment upon their
preserves. A somewhat exhaustive eX-
plOration of their deliveries fails to find
any mention of the cruel feminine fash
ion of decorating their hats with birds
or parts of birds. bicycle riding for
women, or even the divided skirts
But it is remembered that the ladies
III that movement are chiefly concerned
about the ways of men, not women. Yet
the attainment of the ends set forth is
likely to afford activity and exercise
sufficient for all SalubriOuS and sanitary
purposes for time. They would extir-
pate the liquor business, drive away
tobacco, including with some emphasis
the cigarette, crush out all narcotics,
compel Sunday observance, stop all Sun
day work, including Sunday papers, sup
press gambling and wipe out most other
masculine vices. In her address Miss
WILLARD, the president, declared that,
if they had their way, on 10 lip in
the world should there ever be faint
of tobacco OF strong drink. Heretofore
the efforts of the organization have re-
lated chiefly to the use of intOXicants.
Perhaps the success met on that line
has given the stimulus to include tobac-
co. Some who have been disposed to ap-
plaud their zeal heretofore doubt the
wisdom of including tobacco. 1t is con-
coded that it is hurtful TO the immature
and often all annoyance to some people,
but the ladies 90 upon disputed ground
when they class it as immoral. They
had better wink and suffer the
smoke of the burning weed to
get into their eyes at times than
to condemn and harshly vituper-
ate. Smoking has, as a rule, a sedative,
pacific influence. If the male element
of the household has ill-tempered moods,
they do not come in the smoking pc
RODS. Many man has been driven
out of the house and to places that have
led to the most unhappy results for the
family on account of the domestic hos
tility to the smoking habit. AS the
preachers have evaded this issue usu-
ally, it might be we'll for the ladies to
eliminate all the other evils first.

WORTH MAKING

Whatever the result of the contest for
the location of the Republican national
convention, it must be admitted that
magnificent exhibition of Northwestern
enterprise has been made in behalf of
Minneapolis. 1t is worth all the ex-
penditure. of whatever character, made
for it. The cordialitY and earnestness
with which the Twins have worked to-
gether. for the benefit chiefly of one, is
all OBJECT lesson worth setting before
the country. 1t shows that below
the surface differences there Is sub
stantial unity of feeling when
there is really much at stake.
The rejoicing at st. Paul over the sue
cess of the effort will have no lack of
Intensity. There will be mutually of
labor to obviate all difficulties in the way
of making the handling of the affair
satisfactory to the convention and visit
ors. If there is failure to take the prize,
it will be due TO the fact that the COM
mittee is not persuaded that the hotel
cOnyenienceS are as compact as deSira-
bic, and the political feature is not real
lied as pictured by Gov. MERRIAM.
There will be others to share disap-
pOintment if it comes.

There is a quarterback" in football,
but with that exception there is no quar-
ter given in the game.-ChicagO Times.
College men are great deal more in

YlbratOry motion from Maine TO Oregon.
Kansas City Star.
More men are injured at football in a
single game, more men are killed in a,
season. than in dozen years of prize
fighting. We are opposed to- prize
fighting. But if the public must be
entertained by exhibitions of limb
breaking aud blO0d-letting we have sug-
gested that a less harmful variety be
permitted as counter attraction TO
that now in vOgue.-New York Com
merciaI Advertiser.
The fact that the West is scanned and
riddled with graduates of Eastern col
legeS is being curiously emphasized by
the complaints of Western newspapers,
which assert that the football fever is
impeding business. It appears to be
impossible for the Yale and Harvard
men who ought to be building up the
prosperity of the great West to attend
to this little duty until the game be-
tween their universities is Over.-Phila-
delphia Times.
1t is quite possible that the rise of foot
ball explains notable improvement in
the college notion of sport. There never
was anything respectable about hazIng,
and even the time-honored cane-rush
had its disadvantages. Active recrea-
ton is more important than Greek in
college life, and it's a healthy evolution
which is now encouraging the student
to get his sport in decent fashion. Ali

game because it is brutal, and the more
brutality in the playing of it the better

different view from that of those Jour
nails which present foot ball as the chief
end of the college man. But it may be
worth while to inquire whether the

THE GLOBE SUSTAINED.

On several occasions the GLOBE has
called attention to the growing evil of
opium smuggling. 1t has shown that
under existing legislation it is fraud
which the law cannot reach and deal
with successfully. 1t has remained for
Supervising Special Agent A. X. TN
GLE, Republican officeholder under a
Republican high tariff administration.
to ably sustain the position assumed by
the GLOBE upon this question. In his
annual report to the treasury depart
ment, Agent TINGLE says:
1t were better to declare all opium free of
duty than to leave the present laws OH the
statute book. The enormous profits in
opium smuggling, due entirely to the high
duty have Induced the employment of large
capital and great nunSer of hold. szillful
men to engage in the Illicit traffic made so al
Turing by existing laws.
This is strong testimony in favor of
the GLOBES denunciation of statute
made crime, which corrupts morals and
Seduces importers in the by-wayS of
crOokedness. Bat if the principle OF
low tariff apply to opium, logically it
will apply to hundreds of other importa-

GALAXY OF BOOMS.

Just as gladly as New England Demo
Gratis would support Russell, Western
Democrats would rally to B0ies. If un-
derStandingS are violated and fractional
opposition again breaks out in New
York, then BoieS will be asked for by
the West. But as the situation exists
today the promise is that Grover CIeve-
land will be nominated by reclamation.

Candidates count for a great deal. and
much depends upon their careful and
considerable selection. The people will
not vote for an inferior man merely be-
cause his name is on particular ticket.

always to nominate the strongest man,
and to avoid the risk of presenting can
didateS to whom reasonable objections
can be made.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
