THE TIMES:
THURSDAY MAY 10, 1804.
Tie poll hoidtrs last Monday
seemed to kr.ow our business a little

On our L fourth page is printed a

It is oi.e of those fine discourses for

from which much consolation and
pleasure can be derived, bristling as

T'i(c editor of the News Observer-Chroi-
Uvle strikes the nail straight on
the head when he says :
' The movement against the nomi
nation of the notorious Congressman
Urcckinridgc, of Kentucky, has de
vdopu a warmth that threatens to
res'.ilt in personal conflicts. It was u
wry ill-advised decision on the part
if Mr. BreckmrL'gc to raise sncl.
an issue among those who had been
faithful friends to him under other
circumstances; aud he ought, out of
consideration for them at least, to
have avoided causing such divisions
among Ihcui. He has found no com
fort now at the ou'set; and in the
e.id,' apparently, he will be routed, j

Fifty clerks were dropped from the

Treasury Department one day . last
week, and of the 150 employees re

one will remain the 1st of June. The
di-charcs are said to be due to the

The death of William McGarrahan,
known as "Billie McCarrahan, the
Claimant," removes one of the most
pathetic human figures of the ralfny

which was universally acknowledged

has again and again granted. He has
during all this time been combated
by a powerful corporation, which has
possessed the capital to bring to bear
against the unfortunate claimant all
the " laws delays," until at last,
rdVr all the years of "deferred hope
that maketh the heartsick," the right
fu! owner of property aggregating
many millions of dollars, died heart
broken and poor in a hospital. This
is one of the prosaic tradgedies of
modern lire, but when it is thought
how that 70-yearsold man suffered
during more than half -his life, his
whole manhood vainly wasted, few
histories imagined by poets have
ever been so wholly sad.

It was very manifest from subse
quent pioceedings that previous to
eotering this city with his mob of
hungry continentals in their duty
reegi mentals," Coxey had decided
to disobey the rules regarding the
Capitol grounds, by attempting to
speak fr.m the Capitol steps, and
when firmly told by the police that

pompous, defiant air about his consti
tutional rights and threatened to en

American citizen, all booted aud

tlie "dear people from the Capito;

ahd bl3tled him out of the grounds.

who think it would have been just as

About three weeks ao the funeral
ceremonies were hel:i m ine senate
chamber over the remains of Senator
Vance, Three weeks before, the like
sad obsequies had taken place over
the remains of Senator Colquitt, of
Georgia. And now we have the an
nonncement of the death of Senator
Stokbridge, of Michigan, who died
recently in Chicago, w litre he was
visiting. Much sympathy is manis
fested for Senator Morgan, of Alas

inir bereavement in the death of his
beloved and accomolished wife.

What Medical Authorities Have
to Say on the Drink Habit.
It is not so well known as it should
be that the best medical thought of
the wcrld, for a generation or more,
has been opposed to the habitual u?e
of liquors of any kind as beverages
and that for the past score of years
many of the most eminent authorities
in the world of physicians have taken
the ground that the total abstainer
lives longer, is stronger.is more sound
in mind and body than the inan who
drinks, eyen though the Utter be only
occasionally. That is,' hey believe that
total abstinence should be the rule
with every one who wishes to con-,
serve the best powers of mind and
bady. May of the authorities on
this subject declare that the use of
alcoholic liquors does not nourish
the body nor improve the health, but
at all times harmful, and that in pros
portio-i to the amount drink and the
frequency of the potations, by the
citation of a few medical authorities
of the highest class.
Sir Henry Henry Thompson says
"I am of opinion that the habitual use
of wine, beer,, or spirits, ia a diedetic
error, say for nineteen persons out of
twenty. In other words, the great
majority, of people, at any sge of ei
ther sex, will enjoy better health.
both of body and mind, a-id will live
longer without anj' alcoholic drinks
whatever than with habitual indulg
encc in their ne, eve:i though such
use be what is popularly understood
moderate.'
Sir Aodrtw Clark said, in his em
phatic way ; "I am bound to say that
for all honest work alcohol never
helps a human soul. Every adult
m?.n who finds himself after trial
and every man should try to be a
thousand times better with ut alco
hol, should not resume it, because he
will work hotter, he will enjoy more,
he will probably live longer, and cers
tainly he will be better m all the
higher relations of life."
Prof. Sydney Ringer, in his "Hand
book of Theraupectics," written in
1880, saj-s : "Experience plainly in
dicates "tuat for the healthy, alcohol
is not a necessary nor even a useful
article of diet. Varied, repeated and
prolonged experience, and the testi
mony of many medical men. prove
that troops endure fatigue and the
extremes of climate better if alcohol
is altogether abstained from. " The
experience of the celebrated Moscow
campaign showed this; so also quite
recently the Red River expedition.
During arduous marches it has been
found that without alcohol the health
of the men is exceptionally good,
but as soon as 'spirits are allowed
disease breaks out. Modern trainers
recogn'e the fact that the power of
sustained exertion and resistance to
fatigue is best promoted by abstain
ing from alcohol."
'I he British Medical Journal
(March 11, 1886), in an aricie on
"The Truth About Alcohol,", says:
"We take it as conclusively proved
in the first place, that alcohol is not
a necessary food and that the m st
perfect physical and intellectual vig
or is compatible with rigid total ab
stinence.. Wc may go a stpp further
and confidently assert that people in
perfect health are, as a rule, better
without alcohol. The evils of terns
perance are manifest, the evils of to
tal abstinence are unproved and im
probable. The excellent health en.
joyed by the great and increasing ar
army of teetotalers; tbe returns of in
surance and benefit societies; the
example of abstaining notion, seems
to us proof positive that total absti
nence is at least hirmless and safe.
i Aleohol may be accorded a place as
a luxury, it certainly has a definite
value as a medicine, ut we think it
most desirable, in the interests alike
of truth and national morality, that
the medical pr fession shouldauthor-
.jitatively and unambiguously declare
that it is in no senso a necessity."
In view of the array of facts which
we have now given, Deanog on mo
various phases of the pleas for tbe use
of intoxicants, and the further fact
that the position of these high meds
ical authorities is . not generally
known by the public at large, we ask :
Do not the people need education!
A New York prohibitiou newsp aper
in a late issue, was lamenting toat
the cau?e does not grow rapidly
enough." The way to make it grow
i3 to educate the people to a full and
complete understanding of the facta
we have given, and others in the
same line. When they are rally un
derstood, the great mass of intelli
gent Americans will be ready to joiu
in the movement to suppress the
traffic, and to pulverize the rum power.-

A Timely Rhapsody.
The Baltimore Sun, always gentle
and pellucid in its writings, a' ways
eloquent and euphonious of express
ion, has given a column of its valu
ble editorial space to a dissertation
concerning spring, which is a marvel
of modern literature. It is filled
with the sweet and subtle aroma of
flowers. It is musical with the
breath of winds of May.and through
the blossomed and molodious lines
the reader catches clearly the earli
est lilts of mating birds and the first
rippl3 of liberated streams.
It is verv cheering in this time of
armies marching upon the capital, of
strikes and labor troubles, and tariff
bills aud silver agitations to observe
that here and there is an editorial
sanctum so sheltered from the rough
winds of the world that in it idylic
fantasies may revel and tender mu
sings h ive the time and opportunity
to clothe rhemselyes in ' speech. It
is very beautiful to know that while
most of the vexed brothers of the
quill are looking into wearying polem
ics and the wars of unruly factions
studying stern questions of finance
and economic interest, that there, in
sound of the rj'thmic Chesapeake
waves, fancied by the ocean's singing
zephyrs, sits one who can look out
upon glowing and perfumed nature
and, know hi3 soul at peace. There
is one who can write - of the pink
cheeks of farmers' daughters, who
can follow the lowing kine from the
c'overcd pasture to the cooling stream
who can inhale the odor trampled
grasses and hearken to the madri
gals of katydid. One who can shut
out the maddening crowd's ignoble
striie, ana ie uis truant imagining
follow the lead of the fireflies and
beckoning melodies. It is a good
thing, too, that the editorial frater
nity may have gh'en official notice
of the change of seasons and learn
that there is really is some other al
manac than tti flajt iation f the
tarilfbill. The esteemed Sun has
