cause believe it to be the result of
sincere effort on the part of the Re-
publican party to make a downward
revision, and to comply with the prom
ises of the platform as they have been
generally understood, and 1 interpre-
ted them in the campaign before elec-
ton.
This is not perfect tariff bill, or
a complete compliance with the prom
ises made strictly interpreted, but
fulfillment free from criticism in re-
spect to a subject matter involving
many schedules and thousands of arti-
cles, could not be expected. It suffices

There have been a great number
OF real decreases in rates, and they
constitute sufficient amount to justi-
fy the statement that this bill is a
substantial downward revision and a
reduction Of excessive rates.
"This is not free trade bill. It
was not intended to be. The Repub-
lican party did not promise to make

tective, but to reduce them when they
exceeded the difference between the
cost of production abroad and here,
making allowances for the greater nor.
NAL profit on active investments here.
l believe that while this excess has
not been reduced in a number of cas-
es, in great majority the rates are
such as are necessary to protect Am
erican industries, but are low enough,
in case of abnormal increase of de-
mand, and raising in prices, to per-
nit the possibility of the importation
of the foreign article and thus to pre-
vent excessive prices.

USE OF ALCOHOL IS GROWING
DR.. RICHARDSON DISCUSSES
CUISINES NEURosIs.,
No Harm From Change to Total Alb
stinence From Habits of Hard
Drinking, Says Physician.

DETROIT. Mich, June 22.-"Notwith-
Gently swept over the country, there is
every reason to believe that the alcoholic
habit among business men is steadily on
the increase" declared DIR. Frank G.
Richardson of Boston today i'm an address
before the Society of Neurology and Psy-
chiatrics.
The meeting at which this assertion was
made was one of many held in connection
with the American Institute of Homeop-
athy which is in session here this week.
DR.. Richardson's topic was The Prob
lem of American Business Neurosis." He
declared that the strenuous American
business life is producing in many of its
followers a neurosis partaking of the
character of neura sthenia, psychasthenia
and hysteria.
The Geological factors in the production
of this neurosis, he said are chiefly con-
tinuous mental activity and excessive use
of alcohol.
Speaking of patients addicted to the ex-
cessive use of alcohol, Dr. Richardson said
that no fear need be entertained of any
physical or mental harm arising from a
change to total abstinence.
While DR.. Richardson held nicotine to
be also a producer of neurasthenia, he re-
garded it as less injurious and less de-
structive than alcohol. He did not advo-
cate total abstinence from smoking but
advised moderation. saying that a short
smoke after the evening meal is not in
consistent with hygiene and may serve to
soothe and to facilitate quiet thought.

EDUCATION IN INDIA.
Native Woman of Distinction Tells
of School for Girls.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
CALCUTTA, June 2.-During the tour
of the viceroy and Lady Minto in the
Punjab, her excellency visited the Vic
toria May Girls School at Lahore where
all address was read by a native lady of
distinction, setting forth the work and
aims of the institution as follows:
"All thoughtful persons now admit that
for the welfare of India nothing Is more
important than female education, for the
best means of changing the condition of the
country is to enighten the women. There
is little hope of forming the character OF
the people without giving them right
habits and thoughts from childhood, and
that can be done chiefly by mothers. The
idea of recognizing the importance of
women and educating them has come into
existence through the British government
and the work OF British ladies. BY their
sympathy and by their efforts 1t is daily
gaining ground Therefo we have q
fervent hope that before long our people
thoughts will take the right direction.
We women have come to know that the
prescribed examinations do not tend 10
true education. We therefore desire that
our girls should not be prepared for those
examinations which have been arranged
for boys. Girls should be educated on
such lines as may make them useful in
domestic life, and lay foundation Of
right habits and thoughts for their chill
dren..

Special Cah1egram to The Star.
CALCUTTA, June 22.-According to a
frontier correspondent a regular trade in
rifles and ammunition has now sprung
up in Toziristan. where breech-loading
arms have hitherto been obtained with
difficulty. Some traders are said to have
bought arms as speculation in the
Ghanzi district and to have offered them
at cheap rates to the Mahsuds and other
tribesmen. The profits made were SO large
that further consignments were sent into
Waxiristan. There seems no reason to
doubt the truth OF this report, for there
is evidence that the tribesmen on this sec
ton Of the border are now much better
armed than a year or two ago.
This was only what was to he expected
after the successful ventures In gun
running on the Mekran coast in which
Afghan traders have been and are still
