thus presented an analysis Of the sub
3ect OF alcoholism" before the meet
ing OF the Illinois Homeopathic Med.
ical association and told striking
stories by way OF illustration.
"Delirium tremens and delusional
alcoholica seen on the streets and
in the police stations are literally less
known In their etiology and pathology
than leprosy and Asiatic cholera" he
said. IF the symptoms Of ordinary
fnebriety were present in case Of
the simplest disease they would be
viewed by the attending physician
with alarm as the forerunners Of more
profound and serious symptoms.
"The following is an example:
"A boy Of IL years of age. Of good
health and happy disposition. in fact.
q regular buster while working in a
wheat field was bitten by rattle
snake. He was given large amounts
of whisky to antidote the poison. and
the family. not knowing how to give
the remedy. kept the boy in state of
intoxication for three days.
After his recovery the family and
friends noticed that his disposition
was greatly changed. and that he had
become morose. depressed. sullen and
melancholic-a condition which is per-
manent
Here Is the case Of an Investigator
who on the advice of his physician
began the use of wine at meal times.
He was exhausted, could not sleep.
and suffered obscure symptoms called
nerve fatigue
He continued the use Of wine. feel
ing much better. and went on with
his work for several months. when he
was called away on q special mission
and another man took up his work.
The substitute found that nearly all
his work was faulty over the period
Of time in which he was using the
stimulent.
Upon returning to his. duties he
was asked to review that part of his
work. which was largely mathematical,
and he found 1t practically worthless.
not only in errors Of observation and
conclusion. but in the deductions
from the facts. which he could not dis.
cover at the time.
,"Alcohol has cumulative action
when used in moderation or excess
over long period. A young man who
had been under treatment for alcohol
ism and had made splendid improve
ment. appetite good. sleep natural and
all functions apparently normal. He
had been without liquor In any form
for IL days.
while attending five-cent theater
and watching the moving pictures he
was taken with delirium tremens of
violent form. This would Indicate
that there Was an underlying condi.
tion. which was not evident from the
symptoms shown"

Express Companies Should Reduce Rates

The Pullman company has at last consented to reduce the tariff
on upper berths 20 per cent. No doubt in the world but what this
reduction will, in time, DO followed by a further reduction in its
hitherto exhorbitaDt rates. This action was taken, not of their own
voition, but because a man in st. Paul, Minnesota, had the ne We to
complain to the Interstate Commerce Commission, which complaint
was followed by protests from the attorney generals of half a dozen
western states.
Now if the express companies could be made to come to time and
reduce their ratesto an equitable basis it would be long step toward
abaung an injustice that has been a crying evil for 10 these many
years. This imposition has made itself felt all over the United
States and while there have been protests and complaints, no legal
steps have been, until very lately, taken to remedy this great evil.
Such impositions sink into the minds of men and, bye and
bye, there grows up a public feeling of protest against the injustice
which results in a general movement all over the country that brings
results of the most far reaching character. No one can tell just
where such a movement starts. The fact is that it comes right
from the hearts of the people and when it once starts it has the force
of a torrent, that sweeps away all obstacles and results in righting
wrong which has been too patiently borne by the people.

Legislature Of 1898 Was Democratic

The editor of the Saratoga Sun speaks of the Legislature of
1893 as n miserable fasco" because it failed to elect a demo.
cratic senator. But he must have a short memory, as he
fails to tell his readers that the democrats did not havea
majority in that legislature--Rawlins journal
Does the Journal pretend to say that the Legislature of 1893
was not democratic? How then did it happen that by one of its first
acts, after organization, it threw Hon. j. B. Oakie out, neck and crop?
If it had been republican, would it have unseated a republican? Not
that any one is aware of. The reason it did not elect a democratic
o.. 5 Senator WAS because it could not concentrate its forces on any
one man. The republicans had " votes on joint balott. That
was the sum total of its strength. The democrats had a majority of
both houses, but it could not control the vote of Hon. Nat Baker, of
Lusk, or General John Charles Thompson, who lacked but one vote,
would have been elected to the United States Senate. Democratic!
You bet, it was democratic and it was "disgraceful fasco"into the
bargain, just IA, the Sun said for it adjourned after passing but three
measures, and the state had to borrow money for two wears with which
to pay running expenses.
