Crowded outlast week.
Senator Harris, of Tennesee, is at
the head of a coalition of Democrat-
ic Senators who have started in on
the impossible task of trying to
shame the Republican Senators into
coufirniing some of the nominations
now pending before the Senate. Mr.
Harris has announced his purpose of
making a motion every day t" go
into Executive session in order to
consider these nominations.
The facts in the case are without
precedent, and should bring a blush
to the cheek of every fair-minded
Republican. After the Presidential
election of 1SS0. Hayes sent to the
Senate 6S0 nominations, nearly all
of which were confirmed. After Mr.
Cleveland was elected, Arthur sent
to the Senate 612 nominations and
all of thera were confirmed except
twentr. Now II r. Cleveland has
sent to the Senate since the election
of Harrison 4!S nominations of
which 133 relating to Army and
Navy promotions that may be con
sidered non-political have been con
firmed. Uf the a'io other nomiua-

SMOKING AND TIIKOAT DIS
EASE.
Cry of M Woir'-What Some Med
ical Authorities Have to May.
The Lancet says: "Most com
monly writers upon this subject
bave exhibited almost a much
energy asu displayed in ques
tions counected with alcohol.
While some do not hesitate to
lescribe it as a filthy habit, and
to resard its votaries as addict
ed to a senseless formofdegrad
tlon. others venture toraisetlieir
oiees iu favor of its soothing or
even narcotic properties. A well
nown writer lately cave bis per
sonal experience of smoking for
twenty years, aud advised youug
nii-ii never to smoke till evening,
after tlie day's work was over.
He held that tobacco soothed or
irritated accordiugtothe manner
of its use; indeed, we would add
that in many cases the liabit is
commenced far too early, and
carried on injuriously when there
is anv weakness of the circula
tion. This applies to all forms of
tobacco smoking; but an anony
mous writer in a morning con
temporary, dating from the Mid
dlesex Hospital, has carried the
iisciiKsiou a stage further in as-
serting that the cigarette im
ported from Egypt or Turkey is
mixed with some insidious irh
son. Henlleges that he has found
a Inns? promotion of opium ami
of an unclaasitkHl alkaloid in sum-
pies of foreign manufacture, and
he is convinced that a marked in
crease iu eases of malignant
throat disease is to lieattributed
to this cause. The value of his
remarks is considerably dim-omit
ed by a subsequent official state
ment that tlie writer is unknown
to the authorities of the hospital,
al, and tbat lie is neither a mem
ber of the medical or teaching
staff, nor employed by the lee
turer on chemistry. Is there real
ly an increased frequency of ma
lignant disease affecting the
throat, or is the apparent in
crease merely the result of im
proved diagnosis powers ? These
are questions which would seem
worth solving before speculating
on the irritative action of opium
or the unclassified alkaloid. We
should hardly bave expected
Turkish or Egyptian cigarettes
to be responsible for disease
among out patieuts of a hos
pital." The British Medical Journal re
marks on the same subject: "The
note of alarm which has been
sounded iu the lay press as to the
supposed banefal effects of cigar
ette smoking on the throat,
would hardly, we imagine, have
found any echo except in the 'sil
ly season.' The only new feature
in the question as now raised is
the suggestion is the suggestion
that certain foreign cigarettes
contain a poisonous material
which is apt to cause malignant
disease in the tissues to which it
is applied. There is no doubt
whatever that much of the tobac
co sold in this country, especially
of the more expensive kinds, is
'doctored' to a degree which is
daugerous to health, but the evil
wrought thereby shows itself
more iu functional disorder (in
digestion, palpitation of the
heart, giddiness, &c.) than in or
ganic disease. Such local mis
chief as is caused by smoking de
pends on the irritation which the
heat and the more or less acrid
fumes of the tobacco exert on the
delicate parts with which they are
brought in contact. If cigarettes
are more hurtful in this way than
cigars or pipes, we are disposed
to think that the cause is to be
found, not in any 'unclassified al
kaloid' which they may contain,
" e
but in the greater number of
them which can be smoked, and
in the free manner ia which the
smoke is inhaled. It is not so
much the strength of the irritant
as its continuous application,
which is likely to produce chronic
changes in the lips, tongue, or
throat, w hich may eventually be
come cancerous. Moreover, the
really artistic performer with the
cigarette is not satisfied unless
he brings the smoke habitually
into contact with parts such as
the larnyx, trachea, and the up
per part of the pharynx which
the grosser fumes of the pipe or
rfgar are very seldom allowed to
reach, and then as a rule by acci
dent. Again, cigarettes are large
ly indulged iu by many who are
intoloruntjuf tobacco in any form,
and who are therefore, it may be
presumed, more liable to any ill
effect which the 'herb nicotian'
can produce. Much more con
vincing e v idence than is fort hcom
itig seems to be required to Justfiy
the condemnation of Egyptian or
Turkish cigarettes as causes of
cancer. On the whole the hygen
ic alarmist is, perhaps, 'too much
with u;' and the cry of 'Wolff if
too often raised about doubtful
or trifliug evils, ia likely to lead
to disregard of the w arnings of
science on matters of graver im
wrt." Concord T'imi While little
