added an organic predisposition to seek
relief in substances which will quiet

DRUNKENNESS AND INEBRIETY.
The Weaknesses Inherited by Drunxard's
Child.

The Weaknesses Inherited by DruRxard's
Child.
Mr.. James Stewart, an English iur-
geon, described in a recent lecture tina
difference between drunkenness and
inc briety. The drunkard, he said, was
person who drank when he founs an
opportunity of drinking; the inebriate
was person who, in most cases, was
born with an unsound brain, and might
even be man who had never tasted
alcoholic drink in his life. DR.. Joseph
Parrish had said that nebriety might
descend as inebriety, but it was just as
likely to change the form of its appear
ance into insanity or other allied man.
ifestations. Bearing this in mind, il
was important that the child of an in
ebriate should be kept free from any
thing that might upset the nervous
equilibrium, care being taken especial
ly that the surroundings during the
early years should be bright and calcu-
lated to develop the higher and nobler
characteristics. 1t was the duty of the
wife of an inebriate to warn her chill.
dren of their inheritance. The lee.
turer gave the following conclusions:
/. Drunkenness is vice, inebriety a
disease; the two terms must not be
COMPOUNDED. 2. The disease of in
ebriety once established may be trans.
mitted to the patients offspring either
in the form of the alcoholic diathesis.
epilepsy, chorea, insanity or even ten
dency to crime. 3. The child of an in
ebriate born after the functional OF
structural lesion has been established
is sure to inherit some nervous diar
thesis. 4. The only security againsa
this diathesis developing as inebriety
is lifelong total abstinence on the part
of the child 5. Even the adoption of
this precaution will not absolutely
make certain tlrat there will be no
transmission of the cachexia by the
child to his or her offspring. g. To pre-
vent the development of the alcoholic
neurosis in other directions-such as
epilepsy = sudden excitement of the
emotions and sensibilities, such as
might be produced by corporal punish
ment by strangers, should in all cases
be guarded against Z. In the prophyl-
axis of inebriety the principle to be
acted on with regard to children's train
ing is, that if we accentuate the good
we attenuate evil. s. The marriage of
the child or even grandchild of an in
ebriate to first cousin should be abso-
lutely interdicted. illustrated Amer

Woman as Bank Treasurers.

Miss Sarah c. Clark was recently
elected treasurer of the Union Five
Cents Savings bank, of Exeter, N. H,
for the tenth consecutive time. Pre-
vious to her election as treasurer in
1883, she had been clerk in the bank.
Miss Clark files a bond for $45, 900.
The business of the bank has largely
increased during her service. and
her good judgment in the placing
of loans caused her to be made

over half million of dollars, while the
deposits are increasing about $50, 900
annually.

WOMEN'S COLLEGES.
What President Eliot. of Harvard. Thinks
About Them.

|
In the fifth lecture of his Lowell in.
stitute course, this season, President
Eliot, of Harvard university, spoke Of
the development of women's colleges.
After enumeiating the opening of the
several colleges and annexes. President
Eliot is represented in the Boston Her
aid as saying: These women's colleges
will hardly come to be equal to colleges
for men for years to come. They have
not had the time to get together the
necessary laboratories, collections and
libraries, or to obtain properly trained
teachers. Besides, highly-educated
men, as rule, prefer to teach in mems
colleges,
As to the last statement is President
Eliot sure he ia right? The corps OF
professors at Bryn Mawr college, for
instance, would indicate that he can
not be quite so certain. Conceding
that his statement in regard TO this
matter is true, is the reason to be
found in the fact that young women
are the students instead of young mem
or in the fact that lesser salaries are
paid? When in the course of time the
woman's colleges become thoroughly
equipped in all their departments Of
work, and can afford to pay large sab
aries, will the highly educated men, 40
a rule, prefer to teach men?
Another Boston paper represented
President Eliot as saying: THE fate
of co-education in this country is not
yet quite apparent 1t is more popu.
lar in the west than in the east, where
colleges especially for women seemed
to be preferred" The presidents mem.
DRY should be logged with bit of his
tory. When the demand was made for
higher educational opportunities for
women, the established colleges in the
west, one after another, opened their
doors to women. In the east most Of
the established colleges selfishly and
stubbornly refused to admit women,
SO that the matter of preference would
not seem to be matter of choice

The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1892-03-16

We do not like to question Mr. Schoen-
hof's sincerity, but it does seem strange
that his opinion, when speaking as a
politician. should be so essentially diff
ferent from his opinion speaking as an
accurate observer after careful investi
cation. There are only two views pos,
sible, both of which are almost equally
uncomplimentary to him; either theory
overbalanced experience and facts, OF
the politician got the better of the
patriot.
This parallel column system, by
which the opinions of the same men on
the same subject, while playing diff
ferent roles, are placed side by side,
would doubtless prove embarrassing to
many another calamityite, if tried on
him. In any case, it is striking and
forcible method of exposing the hypoc-
risy and falsehoods of the ''reformers, :
whose arguments are generally dictated
by regard for the interests of foreign
industries, rather than of our own.

Short Tariff Sermons.
RECIPROCITY,


One of the most important features OF
the tariff law OF 1890 is the reciprocity
section.
Restricted reciprocity would be bet.
ter term, as the provisions are limited.
The law provides for the admission
into the United States, duty free, of all
sugars not above No. 16 Dutch standard
in color, molasses, coffee, tea and hides.
And whenever and so often as the
president shall be satisfied that the
government of any country producing
and exporting sugars molasses, coffee,
tea and hides, raw and uncured, or any
of such articles, imposes duties brother
exactions upon the agricultural or other
products of the United States which, in
view of the free introdu ction of such
sugar, molasses, coffee, tea and hides
into the United States, he may deem to
be reciprocally unequal and unreason-
able he shall have the power and it
shall be his duty to suspend, by proc
| lamation to that effect, the provisions
! of this act relating to the free introduce
ton of such sugar, molasses, coffee, tea
and hides, the production of such coun-
try. for such time as he shall deem just,
and in such case and during such sus-
pension duties shall be levied, collected,
and paid upon sugar, molasses, coffee,
tea and hides, the product of or ex-
/ ported from such designated country.
Restricted reciprocity is not free
trade.
1t is only on non-competing products
that reciprocal relations are entered
| into.
Conseq uently we are doubly bene.
flied. Our people not only get free OF
duty such products as we can not raise
and upon which if duty were imposed
it would be tax, but our farmers and
manufacturers have certain of their
products adm tilted free into foreign
countries, thereby enlarging our market
without sacrificing any of our own ad-
vantages,
Restricted reciprocity is the logical
outcome of protective principles
In taking off the duty from coun-
try's products we simply reciprocate for
the remission of a duty, which would
otherwise operate against us
