Temperance and Longevity.

A paper whose purpose it is to investigate
longevity in the interest of the insurance
companies, has taken up the subject of drink
and its effect on life. Life may be ques-
tionable boon to many; but it is a desirable
thing to all. If a man can be convinced that
as result of habitual excess the tenure of
his life is rendered uncertain or shortened,
if he have any reasoning power and will re-
naming, he will be apt to call halt and to
restrict or stop the habit which, if persisted
in, will lead to premature death.
The doctor may warn and point to the
probable effect of intemperance upon the
kidneys, liver or heart, and the patient may
listen to his words and think the doctor may
be right; yet he will keep on with his cups,
because in his case the habit has ripened into
disease, and the use of alcohol becomes ac-
tually essential to his comfort and neees-
sity to his tortured nerves.
Where a man is not too far gone-that is,
where the habit has not become disease
he is apt to be more affected by figures than
by all the arguments of the doctors. The
experience of those who have studied the
subject with unbiased minds is that in
temperance is slow mode of suicide, vary
ing in its issue according to the constitution
of the victim. The most careful statisticians of
the United Kingdom have demonstrated that
where the alcohol habit is contracted before
the twenty-fifth year, the period of life fol-
lowing is ten years; where contracted after
forty, eight years; the intermediate years
having the same proportion. Strangely
enough, there is not one case, of inebriety in
thousand where the habit was contracted
after the forty-fifth year.
The theory that inebriety is largely due to
inheritance has long since been exploded
AS a matter of fact, the nations addicted to
the use of Intoxicating liquors through con-
tinued generations have reached condition
of immunity that practically protects them
against its ravages, while people of races not
80 trained are destroyed by an amount of
liquor that would have no effect upon the
English, French Of Germans. This is illus
trated by the destruction Of our own Indian
tribes, and by the like fate of the native
races of Polynesia, who are being virtually
swept away by the introduction of alcohol.

more than three-fourths of the votes and by
far the largest ever cast in his district.
Wilhelm Liebknecht, whose name IS always
conioined with that of Bebel as leader of the
party, is portly man, about seventy years
old. He has an excellent university educa-
ton, and he makes his living by his writings
in his mother tongue and in French and En-
glish. He was in arms for the republic in
1S49, and he had to go into exile when the
revolution was defeated. Once in reply to
parliamentary taunt he said, eyes, 1 did bear
arms for the republic in my youth and 1
would shoulder the musket again in defense
of the Republican cause if the people would
only declare for it, From this he has been
called ssthe SOLDIER and this is still his pet
name among his comrades. He is ready and
fearless, and rather fond of boarding the lion
in his den.
When the Government purchased the Nord-
deutsche Augen1eine Zeitanag, bold policy
peculiar to Bismarck was adopted. Lieb-
knecht was invited to continue his articles, on
liberal terms, and Karl Marx in London was
also approached with handsome offers of
money and carte blanche as to the strength of
his socialism if he would only serve it out in
regular doses in the reconstructed organ.
The object, doubtless, was to conceal the
radical change in the journal, and perhaps to
discredit these leaders and manipulate the
Socialists to the liking of Bismarck. Neither
took the bait, and the policy fell through.
Marx was beyond Bsmarcks power, but it is
said that Leibknecht had to suffer for his re-
fusal.
When the anti-socalistic law was under
discussion in the German Parliament, the
crimes of Hoedeland Nobiling having been
freely imputed to the Socialists in preceding
speeches, in speaking for his party, Lieb-
knecht said:
'You well know that these vile imputations
are false. Why not confess the truth?'
Turning to the Conservatives 'Why not say
that you are determined to punish us for our
Republican faith?" land then to the Liberals)
"And you for our views on political economy?
I know it is too late now to change the fate
of this measure you are determined to strike.
Strike, then, but SANDER US no more!''
Baron Won Vollmar, another Socialist
parliamentarian, was first elected in 1881.
He is a tall, fine looking man, crippled in the
Franco-German war, and he was for long
time considered by the Government an es-
pecially dangerous man.

With the possible exception of hermits,
hisers, solitary tramps and Mrs. Hetty
Green, man is a social animal. All that which
We do in company, partnership or any sort
of association is necessarily social, while
much that we do when alone, being done
with reference to its effect on our fellows, is
socialistic. Practically speaking, therefore,
we are all Socialists, and any difference in
that regard between us and any who claim
sort of exclusive ownership of the name, or
any to whom it is applied by way of reproach
or contempt, is a difference only in degree.
The socialism of the State is increased as
the ages roll by, but it is always swinging to
one or the other side of the general line of
advance. The postotfice is the most social
istic institution of our General Government,
and the common school of the State, while
governmental socialism in some European
states takes in the telegraph, the telephone
and the railroad. Our municipal socialism
usually includes waterworks; that of Euro
pean cities very commonly water and gas,
and sometimes electricity and street rail
ways.
Modern State socialism received very
substantial impetus from French writer's
from oU W luV years dSo, puo uiil VI tiio
present generation has been most affected
by German writer's and an energetic, radical,
militant party called the Social Democrats.
This party was founded by Ferdinand La
Sale in 1868. Its ultimate object is the
abolition of the present forms of government
and the substitution of a socalistic one in
which labor interests shall be supreme; land
and capital shall both belong to the people,
associated as a cooperative commonwealth;
private competition shall cease, its place be-
ing taken by associations of workingmen;
production shall be regulated and limited by
officers chosen by the people, and the whole
product of industry shall be equitably dis
trbuted among the producers. For the
present, its members content themselves
with the promotion of measures to better the
condition of the working classes, such as
shortening the hours of labor, forbidding
child labor in factories, and increasing the
opportunities of education.
We may date the rise and progress of the
Social Democrats in Germany from the pre-
dominance of Bismarck. These are not,

1t is said that, the mothers of great men
have always been women of unusual charac-

who have given the subject study, that men
derive their physical qualities from their
father and the mental from the mother. 1t
is, however, difficult to draw the line as to
inherited qualities; for mental power is de-
pendent on the size and texture of the brain,
and the brain is as much a physical organ as
the liver or eyes.

selves is that they are apt to marry their
oppoSiteS and to make wives of doll-like
women. Itshould be borne in mind in this
connection that talent rather than genius is
concerned. Genius is the exception to a rule;
it is freak in the mental world and has not
the power of perpetuation. Indeed, there
are those who regard great genius as form
of insanity, and a famous poet has declared
that it is allied to madness. while genius
dazzles the world like the unexpected presence
of a comet or meteor, talent is a fixed star in
the armament of intellectual work, and it is
doubtful if any of the families famous for the
abilities of their members through genera
tons have ever given to the world a man
who could properly be called a genius.
No one who has carefully read Galatians
book on heredity will be inclined to challenge
the array of facts he marshals to prove that
mental attributes are quite as much matter
of heredity as physical qualities. The Adams
family Of New England is often pointed to as
a remarkable instance of heredity; but it is
only remarkable BECAUSE it chances to be
particularly conspicuous. There are scores
yes, hundreds-ofA American families that can
show distinguished abilities for three or more
generations. Every long settled neighbor-
hood in the United States has examples of
this kind, and there are families, like the
Washburns and Shermans, that manifest
their amazing vigor Of intellect in every call
ing they undertake.

we'll illustrated by the case of 'sthe fighting
McCooks, of Ohio, !" and there is an excellent
example of the scientific and literary bent of
family, presented by the Dacres, of New
England. In another direction the force of
heredity is exemplided in the case of the
Beechers and Potters.
But it is unnecessary here to do more than
hint at this most Interesting subject. My

without doubt, been an important factor in

"Storms and floods, prolonged

done their utmost this week to give
business vacation. But the wants

ted and much lessened and yet greater
than those of any other nation, have

OF works resuming has been great

other causes. But it is n symptom not
to be overlooked that the demand for
manufactured products, instead of in
creasing, appears for the moment
rather smaller than before and indif-
ference of buyers is shown in cancella-
