DRINK CURSE,
The Farcical Reform By Artificial
- Slim ulnnta, S, g

a.. Stln, ulanta.
A credible citizen OF Kansas reports
that many Of the reformed drinkers in
that state, whose reformation was
largely due to the difficulty Of obtain
ing liquor under the prohitiNvo legis-
lation in that state, have taken to such
stimulants as antipyrine and quinine.
1t is well-known fact that there are
slaves to the ''ginger habit" no less
firmly shackled than the rum slave
himself. Even the. number of those
who are addicted to very strong tea
made, contrary to all cookery canons,
by boiling the tea and water together
lis fast increasing; and they are ap-
parently SO bound to that kind Of tea
that tea properly drawn is not what
their appetite Graves.
Now all of these subtances are in.
furious to the human mind aud body,
and through them to the morals of this
class of habit-slaves. While they do
not intoxicate, it is certain that their
habitual use is debasing The serious
question arises: If the drinker
abandons his alcohol and fees to these
habits, has he really reformed? The
answer must he in the negative.
After abandoning the alcohol. the
only proper substitute is well-cooked,
nutritious food: not only bread and
beef and milk, but also special food for
the nerves to strengthen the will-pow-
er and induce sleep in season. The
artificial and transient stimulation of
q no
stimulation of healthful food, clean,
well-aired apartments and regular rest,
at proper intervals, for mind and body.
Nature will assert her supremacy if
artificial hindrances are removed. The
young and middle-aged habitues of al
cohol have, on this view of the case, no
excuse whatever for relapse. The farce
reform" of giving up one species of
excessive artificial stimulation and
adopting another, is probably the most
serious obstacle in the way of curing
the drink evil. In the case of older
habitues it must te though rcgretful-
ly-admitted that as they have lived
they must continue to live-stimulant of
some kind they must have. They are
past the stage of nature in which phys
ical upbuiloing is sufficiently active to
eradicate a lifelong craving and to
partially repair the natural waste of
the body at the same time. Hence
healthful food, drink, fresh air and
rest-nature's stimulants-will not be
sufficient for them.
In q worl, cure of drunkenness sup
poses nature assisting in the reform.
In addition to this temptation must be
avoided. The victim must suffer for
awhile, and must expect to suffer; to
be strong against his failing; to feel
an aching void; to tear himself away
from his former life; to be calm, and
watchful, and patient Unless he in
tends, at the teginning of his strug'
gle, to do these things, it will be use
less for him to enter upon it. No mat
ter what the ''cure' may be-in these
matters the patient must minister unto
himSelf.-Once Week.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 22.-The
second day Of the national cncampment
OF the G. A. r. began at o'clock this
morning at Albaugh's Opera House.
The first business in order was the re.
port OF the committee to determine the
question OF seniority OF departments.
The controversy affects tho states Of Il
lihois and Wisconsin, neither of which
is In the possession OF n charter. Wis
consin claims the seniority should be
determined by the date Of the first de-
partment encampment; Illinois asserts
that the statement OF Il. T. Stephenson,
the founder Of the order should decide.
Past Commander Wagner. OF Pennsyl-
vania, chairman OF the committee, re-
ported recommending the appointment
OF new committee. but the matter
was left open after considerable dis
cussion.
The report Of tho committee to which
was referred the adiutant's report was
next presented. The report recon-
mended the adoption OF the recon-
mendation that the installing officer Of
post should make the annual inspec-
tion, and that the per capita tax for
grand encampment purposes be limited
10 q cents. Then came the report OF
the committee on rules and regulations
making number Of recommendations
upon requests for changes submitted by
the various departments. The COM
mittee reported adversely upon tho sug-
gesti0n from the department OF Arkan-
sas to change the regulations defining
the right to wear the emblem OF the G.
A. R., and the request OF the depart
ments of Missouri, Oregon and Potomac
that mo person be entitled to wear tho

camp of the Patriotic Sons of America

present from Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Col
orado, Indiana, Montana, Massachu-
sets, Kansas, Delaware, Maryland,

ferred back to the committee to report

The committee on constitution re-
ported to the convention, and recon-
ncnded number OF changes in the
constitution. The most important is a
proposition to strike the word white"
in article 10, prescribing qualifications
for membership, thus admitting colored
men to membership. Abraham Hall,
IT,, member of camp 573, Of Pittsburgh,
the only colored delegate in attendance,
delivered an eloquent speech favoring
the proposition, and the entire after
noon session was consumed in a general
discussion OF the question, without final
action.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. 22.-The
leading social event of the week in
honor of the Grand Army was tho re-
ception to the members of the national
encampment given by the citizens OF
Washington this evening in the spa
cious court OF the pension Office build
ing. =
The committee having the reception
in charge had wisely restricted the in
yitations to limited number OF citi-
zens and to the officers and members OF
the encampment. The crowd, there
fore, while large, was at no time uncom-
iortably so and locomotion was easy.
The prominent officials and some of the
other persons invited to attend the re-
ception assembled in the room Of the
commissioner and when the band play
ed "Hail to the Chief they marched
down stairs and took seats on the plat
form. Vice President Morton (who
took the Presidents place. was escorted
by Mr.. John Joy Edison, chairman OF
the citizens committee, followed by ex-
President Hayes, Secretary John w.
Foster, Postmaster General Wanamaker,
General John Palmer, District Commits
sioner Douglas, Private Secretary Hal
ford.
After taking their places on the plat
form, Commissioner Douglas introduced
Vice President Morton, who delivered
the speech OF welcome. When the ap-
plause following his speech had sub.
sided Gen. John Palmer responded at
considerable length. When General
Palmer had finished his speech there
were loud calls for ex-President Hayes,
Postmaster General Wanamaker ana
Secretary Foster, each of whom respond
ed briefly and happily. Refreshments
were served, followed later by prone
made. concert and dancing.
In the course OF General Palmer's
speech he paid the following tribute to
President Harrison:
'As further evidence of the graft
tude OF the people OF this great republic
they select to preside over the affairs OF
the nation one who, with his comrades,
stood ready to give his life for the
preservation OF the union, and speaking

voicing the sentiments and feelings OF
every comrade, regardless of party, we
pray that He who ruleth armies and
nations, and guides the destinies OF all
mankind, may restore to health and
strength his beloved partner in life,
and continue to grant to him health,
strength, fortitude and wisdom to meet
the perplexities and responsibilities OF
his great office, and the people of the
nation may say with one acclaim

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 22.-Rainy
weather ushered in the fourth day OF
Grand Army week and drizzling rain
made tho streets sloppy and the atmos-
phere heavy. The old soldiers left tho
city in greater numbers last night and
this morning.
This is tho last day OF the Grand
Army festivities and business meetings
in Washington. The programme ar.
ranged for the enjoyment OF tho visi-
tors tomorrow consists of excursions
down the river all day and camp fires.
A number OF posts here will hold in
formal reunions at battleGelds on their
way heme.
The second days session Of the Ma.
tional Encampment was the principal
event Of the day, and the selection OF a
commander.in-chief for the coming
year the principal work OF the encamp-
ment. The choice OF the delegates for
the successor to Commandor-in-Chiet
Palmer was early a foregone conclusion.
Captain Wcissert, OF Wisconsin, it
could be seen, was the coming man.
The solid support Of Captain Weissert
by the state OF Michigan, as heretofore
stated, put Colonel Lincoln in tho back
ground, and the endorsement OF Cap
tain Weissert last night by Pennsylya-
MIA and New York left Colonel Lincoln,
the principal rival OF the Wisconsin
man with very little strength. The on
campment, it became, clear, would
therefore be marked by freedom from
contests, either over the head OF the
order or the place OF location OF tho
next oncampment, Indianapolis having
been unanimously selected yesterday. !.
Besides the national encampment oil
the G. A. r there were to-day meetings
OF the Union Veterans Union, the
Womans' Relief Corps and other kin
dred organizations. Despite the wet
weather, number of corps and other
reunions and receptions took place.
Tho encampment, by an overwhelm-
ing vote, defeated the proposition to
deny life membership in the encamp-
ment to past grand officers and ex-past
commanders

where Lincoln's funeral aervices were
held.
Mr.. Sanders, however, since coming
to Washington, arranged to hold the
convention in the First Baptist church.
Mrs. Logan bearded the lion in his den,
and securing admission to the conven-
tion, boldly told the members the COM
mittee's invitation should have been ac-
cepted, that it was the church OF Lin
coin, and that tho convention should be
there. This challenge met equally bold
response; and for nearly 10 hours, with
intermissions for lunch and dinner, the
