What The Savannah Press
Says About
VIM. r. HEARST.

Against Mr.. William R. Hearst the
Press has nothing to offer. He is young
man of considerable energy and has al
ways supported the democratic nominee
in New York city, in the state and in the
nation. He was faithful to Mr., Bryan
in his two canvasseS, and stood out for
Mr.. Mcclellan when all the other papers
of New York went for Seth Low. He
deserves we'll of the party; in fact. is
member of Congress. AS a candidate for
president, however, he is probably out
classed at present, although he has warm
friends in New York and III the south
who are supporting him. 1t is said the
rip of Mr. Bryan through the south was
really in the. Hearst interest. Bryan,
however, declares that he is not advoca-
ting any special candidate, but is simply
championing the idea represented by his
school of politics. The Hearst men in
Georgia. however, seem to be very active.
Our Atlanta correspondent this morning
predicts that they will control the dele
cation unless steps are taken by the
friends of the other candidates to prevent
this action. The truth is that outside of
Mr.. Cleveland there seems to ee no COM
manding figure in the list Of democratic
possibilities. The Hearst men are prob
ably better organized than the others just
at present"

What Is Whiskey Made
From.

Do you drink whiskey? Or do you
only think you drink whiskey, really inn
bibing an unknown and unnameable de-
connection?
Whiskey was at first made from matted
grain, but it is altogether different now,
and embracing number Of different sub
stances whose combined effects on the
human system the scientists have not yet
thoroughly investigated. The Medical
Record, in discussion of this subject,
remarks:
Both the drug habit and the drink
habit loom large in the public eye at the
present time. Efforts are being con-
stantly put forth to check these practices.
Spirit drinking may be said to be the
bane of the so-called Ang1o-Saxon race,
for, after all, the drug habit is not nearly
so widespread, either in this country or
in Great Britain, as in certain parts Of the
European continent. Of all the bevera-
ges with which the inhabitants of the
United States and of Great Britain stu
pefy their brains and dull their intel
lects, whiskey appears to be the one
most i'll favor It's consumption, espec-
tally in England and Scotland, has in
creased enormously within recent years.
In fact, so disastrous have been the results
of the whiskey habit on the other side,
that special inquiries have been instituted
to investigate the matter exhaustively.
1t has been pretty well established by
the learned doctors of the medical schools
that the use Of alcoholic beverages of any
sort is detrimental to the health, and no
one is disposed to quarrel with the state
ment that their consumption in excessive
quantities is ruinous to the mental, moral
and physical powers. And yet, if there
are individuals who desire to play with
fire and drink spirits, they should at least
be able to get the kind of spirits they
