THE DANGER IN THE TEA.
It Stops Digestion and Is Harmful When
Promiscuously Used.

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATCH.1
1t may not be generally known that many
physicians regard poison from tea-drinking
as more threatening to general health than
that from intoxicating drinks. 1t is unus-
ual, indeed, for women to be in the way of
taking sufficient wine or spirits
to injure themselves physically, al
though it is true that the white ribbon
is their only pledge of sure safety there;
but tea is a refuge to which they fly at any.
time, when they are tired, when they are
i'll, when they want excitement. Mean
while the miserable habit of o'clock tea
drinking, which some one has called an in
suit to luncheon and an outrage on dinner
makes tea-drinking form of dissipation,
and causes a great deal more Of it than
would otherwise take place.
1t is pity that a fashionable fad should
take on so injurious form. Tea not only
hinders digestion, we are told; but it
stops it altogether, while the essential

In Trousers at Less Than Three.
''It is wonderful improvement" said
the fashionable tailor to babies, as he dis
PLAYED a beautiful pair of trousers ten
inches long, or so. ;'You can now tell that
boy is a boy. Since the advent of baby
trousers the New York boy is properly
dressed, as the European boy has long
BEEN"
All! Then this trouser advent is not the
spirit of young American working, after
all. 1t is only following of European
lads: it is fashion and not reform. We
shall see.
"People from out of town come in here
with their children" he goes on; ''and they
say: Il want clothes for my boy I look
at the child and say to myself: What! is
that a boy?' 1 can't believe it, for he is
or years old and has petticoats on.
When I explain the correct dress they gen.
erally exclaim: why, he'll look like a
monkey in thatp Well, the child goes into
the dressing room in his skirts and comes
out in q boys true dress; and-well; you
wouldn't guess he's the same child. He is
trim and elegant; he is every inch boy, as
he ought to be. And the ladies are so de-
lighted that they carry him right off to the
photographers. 1t is a good enough proof
of how a child looks when the folks begin
to talk about pictures.

Some things about the fashionable sta-

new mourning paper, which, instead of the
usual black bordering, has black tips at the
corners Mourning paper is always a little
questionable. There are certain people
who must always hesitate as to the pro-
priety of indicating the existence of heart
sorrow by stripe upon their letter

Still They Shall Gnaw a File.

A writer in the South Branch lnteli-
gtncer undertakes to "paralyze" the In
TELLIGEScER with an answer to this SO
far unanswered query:
'Thc tariff Isl tax."-Regiatr.
Five inch taper saw files sell in Wheeling at %
to GS cents q dozen.
The tariff on five Inch taper saw files is IS
cents a dozen;
WIN the Register explain who pays the tax in
this case?
Then says the South Branch writer:
"The manufacturer puts mis- price Just a
little below tho duty" Aimbae dictu
and 90 to. There is a high compliment
to the manufacturers-something rarely
seen in free trade writings. If the man.
ufacturer sells his files at less than the
duty; if the manufacturers of calico do
the same thing; if the manufacturers of
nails do the same thing-as all Of them
do-who pays tho tariff? And how does
the South Branch genius who rushes in
where the Register feared to tread'recon,
Gle with his assertion that the tariff is
a tax the well known fact that steel
rails became cheaper at every advance
Of tho duty on steel rails?
And still we ask, if the duty on files
is rs cents and the price Of the same
files 65 cents, who pays the rs cents
tariff tax?

Tho French prime minister, NJ. Lou
bet, is quoted in this mornings cable
dispatches as saying, concerning tho
anarchist question, that the French re-
public is now suffering the penalty Of
allowing in the past too much freedom
OF speech and pen under the guise OF
liberty.
BY the experience Of France, which
country is just now passing through a
critical period of the struggle with an
archism, other republics may profit.
While the constitution OF the United
States guarantees freedom Of speech
and pen, n OF the most sacred rights
OF frcemen, it is a question that calls for
grave consideration if this liberty is not
to q great extent being prostituted, and
If by permitting its abuse we arc not
nursinca volcano.
Liberty, real liberty, is q precious
thing, and in America We have it, but
when it is abused, it becomes a menace
to free institutions and, if allowed to
continue, undcrmines the very founda-
tons Of government, order and society.
1t is time that our own legislators
were giving more thought to this ques-
ton. If they would preserve our free
dom in its purity, they should adopt
measures to prevent its prostitution by
a foreign class that is locking to u
shores to preach doctrines OF hatred
OF law and order, Of government and
society. Taking advantage OF the lib
erty guaranteed them under the Amer
lean flag, they insult that emblem
itself, attack American liberty and tho
peace OF American homes.
Let a halt be called at once. This is
4 phase OF tho immigration question
which it will not do to overlook.

Tho Register puts It this way: %The

can 1t DO proven to DO shoddy? Why,
any dress at that price must DO shod.
dy.n
This is IN honest statement OF tho
substance Of tho Registers argument"
As usual, It responds to facts with as.
symptoms, and socks to set exploded
theories Of a past generation against tho
we'll known conditions that exist to-
day. It holds a certain theory; any
fact not in harmony with that theory
must therefore BIO presumed to DO un.
true. Scores OF facts have been given
1t to think over, and it has presumed
and presumed, and made bare asscr-
lions everybody else knows to BIO IN.
true, and begged the question as in tho
case quoted above, until it is corncred,
and then it sits dumb and ignores what
it cannot even pretend to deny.
II is 4 fact that in Wheeling to-day
good woolcns can BIO boush. at a price
which will mako a dress cost less than
$3.0s. These goods arc not sl,oddy,
and tho price OF tho dress considered
with tho tariff shows beyond honest
and reasonable dispute that tho tariff
in such cases is not a tax. Tho people
know this. For tho Register to deny it
only makes wiser people, even in its
own FREQ trade following, laugh at its
ostrich like dumbness.
