THE HABIT.

Public opinion will be divided as to the
wisdom and justice of Representative
Mcuhsny's bill to discourage the
liquor habit by making it a mis-
demeanor to treat or offer to treat a per-
son to liquor in any place whore strong drink
is sold. A very large class will claim that
the man who never treats is the gentleman
over whose recalcitrant shoulders the keen
lash Of justice should be laid.
All the same, it is GEreed by many phil
osophsrs that tho great American habit Of
treating is most pernicious and is responsible
for = great deal of drunkenness. A fine for
the hrst ofTsnse and imprisonment for the
second %offense, is none too severe if tho state
undertakes to break up the practice, for it is
deeply grounded in the American character,
How ever did We acquire this habit that
has become so great an evil as to call for in
terdiction by the law Surely not from our
illustrious progenitor, William Penn. If
these settlers brought with them their justly
celebrated gin or beer, also brought hithsr
the no less celebrated and economical Dutch
treat" It may DO that tho other early tribes
should be held responsible for the treating
habit. It is understood that it was these
LboriEines who invented hard cider and the
u5tle applsiack and if this be so, the
dangerous habit of setting en- up again 1
half accounted for.
But Let the Legislature give careful de
liberation to the MsElheny bill, In it may
lie the hope Of the human race,

SOURCE OF SURPRISE
no rhyslolan and raaont Ailky.

DIR. Redmond, a specialist in tho study and
treatment Of Piles and rectal diseases, re-
Gently stated that tho Pyramid Pile Cure,
The now discovery for tho cure of piles, WAS
the most remarkable remedy he had ovor
seen or tried in one respect aud that was,
the Instant relief experienced in all casos,
no matter how severe, from tho moment the
remedy was applied this was the more sur
prising 10 him, because he had carefully an
alyzod the preparation and no trace Of Opt
um, cocaine or similar poison could be de-
tectod.
Physicians look with great favor upon the
Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is rapidly
taking the place of surgical operations and
because it is SO simple, so easily applied and
contains no mineral or other poisons so COM
monty used in pile cures.
DIR. Esterbrook reports that the Pyramid
Pile Cure not only cures the various forms
Of piles, but never fails to give m Immediate
relief ON the first application no matter how
severe the pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles for
years are often sstouished at the instant re-.
lill experienced AlbuA AAo hlsl aHlliNtAiuhi
Another important advantage is the fact
that anyone can use the remedy without de.
t%euti0u from business or interference with
daily occupation.
Mr.. j. w. Rollins of Sweet Springs, Mo,
writes: / consider the Pyramid Pile Cure
without an equal it cured me in less that
80 days. I waited Is days or more to be
sure I was fully cured before writing you
am cured and / shall recommend the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure at every possible opportunity,
because it deserves &c.
Although q comparatively new remedy, it.
popularity is such, that all druggists now
sell it if your druggist hasn't it in stock.
he will get it for you if you ask him, as al
W Wholesale druggists have it on sale.

NO HIGH TARIFF.

There is reasonable ground for a suspicion
that it has never occurred to our Democratic
contemporaries that the Dingley committee,
having in charge the framing Of a Republi-
can tariff bill, will construct a measure that
shall increase the revenue Of the government
to meet its s1penses-not with framing a bill
that shall merely increase tariff duties with
out regard TO the revenue that they may
yield. The witnesses before that committee
do not direct the policy Of the committee. If
their only thought was protection, it does
not follow that the Forthcoming bill viii
necessarily reflect their demand.
Nobody in authority has announced that a
high tariff is to be restored; nobody with a
vote on the subject has set his face against
everything but a roimposition Of the Nc
Kinley schedules. The Prssident-elect him
self does not desire this or anything APP
preaching it.
The sole contention Of intelligent RepubI-
cans is for such a readjustment Of the tariff
zch0duies as will beyond all doubt increase
tho government Isyenues to a point where
they will equal or exceed its expenditures.
An increase Of duties that would shut out inn
portstious sufficiently to reduce tariff rev
snuss will not be permitted by Republican
Congress; it will not be tolerated by the
people that creates Congresses.
As to revenues from internal taxation and
the suggestion Of sn increased tax on beer,
the poor, who consume probably so per cent.
Of all the beer drank in this country, would
be the only sufferers. The brewer and
middlsman would force them to pay tho in.
creased tax either by giving them worse beol
than now or by reducing the size Of the 10.
tail glass-or both.
It is the Republican policy to create gov.
srnment revenue by taxing imports-not tC
exclude imports by svsrtaIing them. Enc.
mics Of the party know this well enough but
persist in misstatinR the proposition.

AT London yesterday the death was re-
corded Of a man to whose genius the world
owes an invention that has played no small
part in its progress aud development. Sir
Isaac Pitman lived far beyond the allotted
period of man, and was thus enabled to
witness the extraordinary development Of
his system Of phonetic spelling or shorthand
writing, which came to mans assistance
whom it was needed most, %sxpediting the dis.
patch Of business all over the world, and Gu
abling us to preserve for future ages the
thoughts of our greatest men, which other
wise would die with their uttorance. In
many other ways, and notably in its impor-
tsnt influence in the development Of the
daily press, Pitmsn's system Of shorthand
has been of incalculable benefit in the trans
action of the worlds affairs. The great
value in which it is held is fttingly illus
trated in the efforts which many minds have
made to improve upon the crude system
first invented by Pitman, and the eItraordi-
nary success which has attended his efforts.

THE result Of the Democratic primaries last
night is told in our news columns. 1t is un-
necessary to say that the contests were lively
the reade can CLEAN tina information by a
perusal of the report. The contests for Chief
Burgess and Tax Receiver ovsrshadowed all
other fights, and it will require the meeting
Of the eonferrees this evening to determine
the names Of the "unfOrtunatesn that will
appear upeu the ticket. The friends of both
Seaman and Burke, with two wards each to
their credit, claim the nomination for Tax
Receiver. The confsrrees from the bloody
First" however, hold the balance Of power
and can dictate not only this nomination,
but She entire ticket. Noll and Tabor, tho
candidates for Chief Burgess, feel confident,
while Frank Wilcom's friends say they have
several surprises up their sleeves to be sprung
10 night. The "~slAtos' prepared by the
bosses were smashed in several instances, the
party votors ignoring the formers i%nstruc-
tons. A notable case was that in the Fifth
ward, where an effort was made to defeat
Councilman Hand for denomination. The
latter, however, was successful notWithstand-
ing the opposition no encountered. The re
suit Of the meeting of the conferrees this
evening is awaited with 3 great deal oil
interest.
