THE HOTTIE GOLD CURE.
An Ingenious Treatment by
which Drunkards are Being
Cured Daily in Spite of
Themselves.
No NOxiOuS Doses. A Pleasant
and Positive Cure for the
Liquor Habit.

1t is now generally known and
understood that Drunkenness is
a disease and not weakness. A
body filed with poison, and
nerves completely shattered by
periodical or constant use of in
toxicating liquors, requires an
antidote capable of neutralizing
and eradicating this poison, and
destroying the craving for in
toxicants. Sufferers may now
cure themselves athome without
publicity or loss of time from
business by this wonderful
"Home Gold Cure" which has
been perfected after many years
of close study and treatment Of
inebriates. The faithful use
according to directions of this
wonderful discovery is positively
guaranteed to cure the most
obstinate case, no matter how
hard a drinker. Our records
shows the marvellous transfer
nation of thousands of Drunk
ards into sober, Industrious and
upright men.
Wives cure your husbands.
Children cure your fathers! This
remedy is in no sense a nostrum
but is a specific for this disease
only, and is so skillfully devised
and prepared that it is thorough
| ly solubly and pleasant to the
taste, SO that it can be given in
a cup of tea or coffee without the
knowledge of the person taking
it. Thousands of Drunkards
have cured themselves with this
priceless remedy, and so many
more have been cured and made
temperate men by having the
"cure," administered by loving
friends and relatives without
their knowledge in coffee or tea,
and believe today that they dis
continued drinking of their own
free will. Do not wait. Do not
be deluded by apparent and mis-
leading improvements" Drive
out the disease at once and for
ali time. The "Hone Gold Cure
is sold at the extremely low price
of one dollar, thus placing within
reach of everybody a treatment
more efectual than others cost
ing $25 to $50. Full directions
accompany each package. Sepcia1

Interest ON the Federal Advance.

It is unfortunate that the House District
committee has seen fit to amend the bill
providing for an advance from the federal
treasury to the District to meet the latter's
financial deficiency, by exacting an interest
payment of two per cent per annum. This
act emphasizes more sharply than before
the injustice OF Congress in legislating for
the capital in the matter of the street ex-
tensions The present financial embarrass-
ment arises because Congress has violated
the organic act and the principles of the
national capital partnership and imposed
upon the District an unjust burden heavier
than it Is able to bear. The crisis freely
forecasted at the time this enactment was
consummated having arrived, the best way
out of the difficulty is undoubtedly that
which the Commissioners propose, for the
government to meet the necessities Of the
District with an advance of funds from its
overfiowing treasury. This is only fair
attempt at a partial recompense. 1t Is the
logical resultant of the invasion of the Dis
tricts rights by Congress. Now to charge
interest on this advance which should
have been freely made in recognition of an
inequitable procedure. Is to impose an ad-
ditional burden upon the local taxpayers
against which they protest emphatically.
1t is Of course better that the. District

IL necessary for them to go over the whole
ground again. They often left him with
a feeling that their cake was dough, but
subsequently would discover that they had
taken the cake and that 1t was in prime
condition.
On one occasion, as the story goes. a
man of prominence who had met with this
experience, in thanking General Harrison
for an appointment, asked him about the
matter: Well replied the President,
you were not to be expected to present
but one side of the question; and simply to
see how worthy your friend was and draw
you out fully | took the other side. We
both wanted a good appointment made, and
when l discovered that you were able to
meet every possible objection l was happy
to accep' your recommendation. L was dis
posed to agree with you from the first, but
/ wanted 20 be entirely safe
The argument in these most important
cases before the Supreme Court is now
closed, and both sides have been ably rep
resented. The court has yet to confer,
and hence all speculation as to its decision
is only speculation. Interruptions of coun-
sci on both sides were frequent not 1t Is to
be assumed because counsel was not clear
IN statement. but more likely because of
he magnitude of the issue the court felt
and manifested the keenest desire for the
fullest possible light on every point raised
Evening star., 1901-01-14

The haZing inquiries at West Point both
congressional and military. have gone far
enough to arouse a demand throughout the
country. widespread and indig liant, that the
brutal, tyrannical practices Of the cadets be
stopped forthwith. by academic regulation
If possible. by the force of Jaw II necessary.
The sentiment against hazing has been
brought to an acute point by the reveIa-
tions of cadets who have been persuaded
to tell of their experiences both as haZers
and hazed. The continuous narration of
stories of compulsory pugilism. brutal ex-
erclsing, petty persecution. senseless indig-
mites and inhumane treatment generally
has stirred the country until there is even
a suggestion that the military academy
has jeopardized its own existence by the
fOIlies of.rhe cadets and the complacency
of the officials in charge.
III appears that the grosser forms of haz-
ing have been discontinued Of late by the
upper classmen. But hazing has by no
means been abolished in consequence There
yet remain the crueltes of milder sort
but none the less offensive to the maniness
OF the plebe. He is mortified at all points
made TO feel his inferiority. tyrannized
over at mess. in barracks, in camp and
even in the class room. II he permits his
spirit TO rise above his caution he is more
severely disciplined. He Is forced to fight
with bare fists until exhausted, and against
heavier lads with two and perhaps three
years Of pugilistic training.
The whole custom is despicable. 1t is not
10 be tolerated because. as some critics
have declared. the military academy is af-
ter all only a training sc.-ool to prepare
men to be fighters. The hazing practices
INDUCED in by the overbearing cadets of the
upper classes at West Point do not develop
the qualities which are required by the
army of its officers today.
Elsewhere in The Star today will be found
letter from a former visitor to An
napolis, giving an extract from the report
of the board of 1891, in which the practice
of hazing is emphatically condemned This
extract ought to be read with keen inter-
est. for the public sentiment Of today is
therein reflected to the whole subject

The District Bill.

The District appropriation bill as it
energies from the committee to the House
is notable chiefly in the aggregate sum
which 1t carries, that being larger than
ever before at a similar stage of the pro-
$172 S4S.6S more than the current law. The
ordinary course is for the bill in It's first
draft to carry less than the current law
and for the additions required to meet the
needs to be made in the House or by the
Senate. The bill does not, of course, attain
to the limit of the Commissioners esti-
mates falling short by 81 ,332 ,SS9. The
Commissioners, however, proceeded with
their estimates on the theory that it was
desirable to set forth the pressing munich
pal needs, without reference to the reduc-
ton in prospective revenues caused by the
confiscation of so much of the
local tax money for street extensions ex-
clusively at local expense. The House COM
mittee has apparently pursued the policy
of trimming the bill to suit the revenues in
sight for the fiscal year. AS a result Of
this method the bill now contemplates a
surplus Of District revenues of only $24,-
unless the Commissioners proposition for
an advance from the treasury to meet cur
rent needs and to for some of the
more pressing of the large enterprises in
hand and In view Is adopted and given
form in law quickly at this session 1t is
not likely that the District bill will grow
materially at any subsequent stage Of Its
consideration,

is that this mode i5 in the interest II the

money to remain in use during the twelve
months before 1t is turned int the public
treasury. thus saving half a years interest
on half the amount; in the interest of the
proyident taxpayer who saves his money
during the twelve months to meet this de-
mand and thereby has the benefit OF twelve
months interest upon "a increasing sum;
also in the interest OF the improyident tax
payer who meets his taxes by borrowing
the money and is by the twelve months
system required to make only one such
transaction. and who thus saves six
months interest on half his tax indebted
ness.
On the other hand it is contended that
the semi-annual plan Is in the interest of
those improrident taxpayers, said to be
numerous, who do not borrow. but who by
an extra effort meet the payment as 1t
falls due each six months, and who pay
much more easily and certainly under the
installment plan than in a lump sum at
the close of the year.
1t would seem that there is nothing ire
concilable between the interests Of these
two classes of taxpayers. An effective
compromise would be to consider the needs
and to meet the convenience of both class
es-those who prefer to pay once year
and those who prefer to make two pay
ments. Let the law provide for an annual
payment, at the end of the tax year, but
with the privilege to the taxpayer to pay
in two installments II he prefers to do so,
and with no penalties running until the
close of the tax year. Then those who
choose to retain their money throughout
the twelve months will save the interest on
half of 1t for six months and yet suffer no
penalty; while those who can pay more
readily and with greater certainty in two
installments will have the privilege of do
ing so.

China Signs the Note.

The signing Of the note by the Chinese
commissioners is something contributed to-
ward peace in China, but just how much
remains to be seen. Although accepted
the terms of the powers are resented by
China. and We may expect efforts on her
part to secure notifications. Warned by
Bret Harte's estimate of the national char
aCter, which still holds good, we may pre-
pare ourselves for ways that are dark. But
if the powers are sufficiently vigilant, the
tricks will be in vain. and at the close the
world VIII have something to show. not only
for what 1t has suffered at Chinas hands,
but for guarantee as to the future.
The report that Ii Hung Chang has
Bright's disease and may not be able to
figure prominently in the conferences is a
subject for regret. He may not at heart
approve of the terms submitted by the
powers, but he Is experienced man who
has Travelled. and therefore is In better po-
sition to judge of his country's present
plight and the necessity for settlement on
the basis prescribed by the powers than any
other available man of his race He knows
that there Is weight enough behind the
terms submitted to enforce them. and that
China is in no condition to invite either by
haughtiness or shiily shallying real con-
fore Is distinctly for good. and his own
country no less than all the others will
benefit by his services If he can muster the
strength to exert himself
While they are about it, the powers ought
to make a thoroughly good job of this bust
ness. China will put up poor mouth She
will likewise stand upon a sort Of dignity
and claim immunity from dictation as to
conditions upon which foreigners shall in
future dwell In the land She may IN effect
ask the powers how any one of them would
enjoy such treatment. None of them OF
course would enjoy It, There Is nothing
enjoyable in 1t. But 1t Is not to be expected
that the powers shall put themselves in
sympathy In Chinas place. They have
never dealt with her on terms OF equality,
and there is no good reason why they
should do so now. Her conditions are not
their conditions and do not promise soon
to become So What they have right to
ask. and what being on the scene now in
force they should demand, Is an open door
and fair opportunity for trade, and safety
for all foreigners dwelling by right in the
kingdom and obeying its laws.

The people with plenty of leisure will stop
To hinder whatever he tries.

Where courage and skill meet their test,

Great Athletic Clubs.
From the New York Tribune.

The marvellous development of high-class
athletes in this country is shown by the
fact that at least three American cities
contain athletic clubs in which the men,
bership runs far up into the thousands.
And in every one the annual reports indi-
cate conditions of admirable management
and sound prosperity. Moreover, most Of
our larger cities possess similar organiza-
tions. Clubs of the foremost rank do much
work in promoting sport and keep
ing it clean. May they steadily gain in
numbers and resources. The new century
opens we'll for amateur sport in America,
and even professional sports are likely to
excel the achievements Of last year In eer-
tain lines.
