Fatal Effects of Alcohol.
According to Dr. Richardson, alcohol
down by disease, in England and
^ a ^ e * alone, one thousand persons a
week. “ What,” adds the doctor, “if
any other cause of mortality did the
8ame? ” What if one thousand persons
per week died in the same area, from the
l,iU! ot thc rabid do ? or ,hC8 " ake ' bythe
•"^owmgof.rsentcopmm 1? „ Whut lf some thousand arsons a
week were known to be killed by the
secret devices of the slow poisoner, who,
under the guise of friendship, went about
and instilled into his victims some subtle
drop which led to the shortening of their
l fe and to the production of lingering
organic fatal disease? What, indeed,
then, would bo the cry end the action!
Why, all through the ranks of the great
profession of medicine there would be a
tumult of labor and toil, such as was
never before seen, to remove the calamity?
Men would be ambitious to be first to dis
cover by experiment, by experience, the
cause of so fearful an evil, and remove it
instantly; while lie who won the victory
over the calamity would be extolled as
illustrious, and crowned with honor, be¬
come a household word from among the
children of Esculapis. Yet here one single
cause making all this deadly havoc, a
cause well known and easily removable,
in spite of its evils and in face of its easy
removal, is permitted to remain in sight
with a majority of the army of medicine
looking on in apathy, pitying us ‘poor
foolish fanatics’ who are exercising our
limited powers to uproot it, and some,
with the rest of the world, so sharing the
calamity as to become copartners in the
destruction which follows from thepar
ticipation .—XVlth Amendment.

WANTS A JUDICIAL DECISION.
In relation to the reported conflict in
Maine between the state and United
States authorities respecting the authority
of a state court to compel the production
of records of the collector of internal
revenue for use of in selling the prosecution distilled spir- of
persons accused
its in violation of the state law, the com
missioner of internal revenue says that
his office has no disposition to interpose
any obstacle to the enforcements of state
laws laws, but but that that a a provision nrovision aimilftr similar to to that that
in the recent Maine law, making the pay
ment of an internal revenue tax as a liq
uor dealer prima facie evidence of a vio¬
lation of state law, has been incorporated
in the statutes of several of the states;
that the question in issue in Maine has
been raised several times in other states,
but never settled, and that it is his desire
to obtain u judicial decision for future
guidance in numerous cases likely to
arise.
a NEW SET OF kules.
The commissioner of agriculture has
issued a new set department of rules governing the
operations of the in the sup
pression and exterpation of pleuro-pneu
monia and other infectious diseases. The
chief of the bureau of animal industry
may tered c.u« whenever expound it animal, deemed to be slaugh- to
is necessary
prevent territory a spread of the disease from one
state or to another. Provisions
is made for the appraisal of and payment
for slaughtered animals. Whenever it is
deemed necessary by the chief of the bu
reau to supervise and inspect any lines of
transportation doing business in more
than one state and boats, cars and stock
yards, in connection therewith, he is re
quired to designate suitable inspectors
nnd make all necessary regulations for the
quarantine and disinfection of such boats,
cars and stock yards as are suspected of
being affected with the disease. Should
it be found impossible to enforce rules in
any state, the commissioner, if he thinks
the exigency requires it; will declare the
state in quarantine, and aDy person re
moving auimals therefrom, except upon
a certificate of the inspector of the bureau,
will be prosecuted.
MUTILATED dank notes.
There was received at the United
States treasury Thursday for redemption
a package of perfectly new United States
notes of small denomination-^ 1,000
which were ihutilated by punches
through them, through which a cord had
been passed and then sealed on the out¬
side of the wrapper. The package was
sent tional to bank Washington by express, mutilation by a Na¬
in Texas. The
was evidently intended as an additional
safeguard in transportation. This is said
to be the practice of many of the south¬
ern express companies in the transporta¬
tion of money to the treasury for redemp¬
tion, but the present is the first instance
where new, uninjured notes have been
treated in this way. It is not known
whether these particular notes were mu¬
tilated by the bank or by the express
company, but it is thought at the depart¬
ment that it was done by the bank to se¬
cure exchange of on New York at the ex¬
pense the government. Acting Treas¬
urer Whelpley refused to receive the
notes and directed their return to the
bank at its expense, with the statement
that such mutilation is considered a vio¬
lation of law and will not be permitted
by the department.

WOOL DEALERS’ MEETING.
San Francisco Cal. A meetingwas held
here Monday by persons interested in the
wool trade £or the purpose of taking such
action as would induce the interstate
com merce commission to suspend section
four of the interstate law so far as it ro
lates to wool. Under the present inter
pretation of the law the rate on wool to
jfew York and Boston is $3.70, whereas
the rate was sixty-four and one-half cents

if the new rate was maintained the wool
industry of California would be destroyed,
as the surplus product could not be sent
