tho merits of the cause. But last week while In

out to a small summer settlement known
as Quaker Lake. 1t Is about fifteen
miles from Binghamton. and the road
Is through a dcsolato and mountainous
country. Ono doesn't strike many houses
on tho way, and to make the trip moro cherries
the road passes through the deserted village Of
Brackney, once n prosperous settlement, whose
inhabitants worked in the tannerics. About a

and about a dozen yards from the road. Iwould

OUR BARBAROUs POLITICS.
Homer Yolks's Opinions rs He Expressed Then
In Toronto.

QUEBEC, Canada, July 16.-The so-called bar
barity OF American politics and the alleged ne
cessity for prison reform in the United States
were among the most interesting subjects dis
cussed by members of the American Charities
Conference that has just closed its twenty
fourth annual meeting In Toronto. after select
ing New York city for the scene of its twenty
fifth session. Mr.. Homer Folks of New York,
secretary of the New York State Aid Association,
said he was ashamed to confess that In New York
and most other States of the Union politics was
scarcely less civilized than civil war. 1t inter
rupted the work of tens OF thousands and was
responsible for thousands dead from neglect in
the Potters' Fields. He caused a stir by saying
that the State Charities Aid Association asked
for only a law which would permit the members
to go INTO the charitable institutions OF the
State, and come out and tell what they had
seen; this would be enough TO turn every insti-
tuition In the state upside down.
Much OF tho present American prison system

Professor Waller recently lecturetl
before the London Royal Institute on
Nerves and Stimulants.'' He is re-
ported as follows: "A little tobacco
smoke or little alcohol were shown
to stimulate the nerves slightly; a
strong dose, especially of the latter, i'm
mediate!y ceased from exciting the
nerve and began to stupefy it. One
has seen something like this result in
the human subject. The strangest dis
covery, however. that is yielded by
these experiments Is that plain water
has the worst effect of all upon the
nerves." Until this fact Is explained 1t
is not likely that teetotalers will be
tempted to draw moral from the pro-
