The International Temperance Congress

(Thelites, Monday April 15) ' The International Temperance Con* jfjreM in Vsemm has now completed its taboarsi We fear that tha very recondite physiological question of tbe f inflaertpH of moderate' do!*es of alcohol ttppn the human organism has seared v ever been investigated fey a thoroughly competent inquirer in a pnre'y «cienti* fiC Spirit^ that IS to say, with an ab «o ut^ly single minded desire *c aso-r tain the whole troth, whatever it minht be. By some strange i atalify nearly every man of science who has made intleavoors in this direction has before Jong become known m an upholder of some decided opinion on on« or other lide of tbe question, hat become an energetic, denouncer of alcohol at a timt when the accuracy or the inter pretation of his results was still open toqtieiitiou, or has declared its harm lesflhess under somewhat similar condi tions. With whatever other effects alcohol may bo credited or blamed, it Certainly appears to exert an influence unfavourable to that complete detach meat of the uoiod from consequences which is essential to the attainment of troth by the condact of a, very com plicated and difficult ioqairf. Mo inconsiderable number of the co called •experiments ' upon which tbis or tha* conclusion about alcohol is said to'haye been has*:d ht»T^ ■ b^n almost ludi crously IftckitiK '» '»' J CAre and Prec, ~ sion by whioh alone experiments ar* Bavsd from beingr misleading

Passing away from discussions upon a disputed queition concerning which, as far as we are aw%re, there are no data softoient to justify the formation of a decided judgment, the Congress entered on the v cond da? of its deli berations, npon tbe consideration of one as to whioh nil philanthropists, whether total abstainers or not, may work together in cerdW harmony and complete agreeing. It i« only too notorious that in all countries a very large number of Uvea are wasted by alcoholic excess; and the problem of hbw to deal with the habitual drunkard, or even with the ©ccasioaal drunkard whose vica threatens to become habi tual, Is one of the most' difficult pro •en ted h) modern civilisation. , . The question proposed many yearn ago by ft distinguished physician,« Why does A. B 9 become a • sot!' is being answered by physiologists In a way which tends to show the propriety of regarding habitaal drunkenness rather as a disease than as a crime. At quite an early stage of its progress physical changes hi the structure of the ncr voue system may. it ia said, be recog, nised by tbe microscope, aided by modem methods o! staining and preparing the tisanes concerned. If this be so, it is as foolish to punish an habitual drunkard for getting drunk as it would be to punish a paralytic for inability to ran. Very slowly and ten tatively the Legislature of this country has began to deal with tbe question on scientific principles, and to sanction the confinement of drunkards for cura tive purpos 8 a. The great practical diffi culty in the way of doing t;his on a large scale is the fear, entertained by many well-meaning persons, that the necess ary provisions of the law rnigiit be. perverted to bad uses, ss is said some times to have been the case with the laws relating to the insane. On thie ground chiefly, the statutory definition of an habitual drunkard is of Moh a kind as to render it probable that his disease may have passed beyond the curative 6-fcage before any attempt to core it is seriously commenced, . . The third question which has been, discussed, that of the best legislative j or other methods of kef ping the drink consumption of a people within reason able" tirbitt, and of establishing what may be described as a custom of moder ation in the use of liquor, is one on which'"th« results of .diacuaeion are.less:' likely to be productive of benefit A problem of this kind must be worked out by every nation for itself, for the ■iruple reason that the regulations which would be accepter 1! or submitted to in one country would be either dis regarded or swept aside in another. . . Her® in England, if we leave out of consideration tha cases of diseane, we find thai national temperance i« iteadily advancing, under the influence of edu cation, of increasing refinement, of intellectual pleasures, and of outdoor sports. With almost every successive year the guardians of the peace are able to record that offences arising out of drunkenness are on the d< crease, es pecially on those public holidays on which they were once so common Alcohol, in some of its forma, in pleas ant to many people 3 and these, unless or until they became conscious of some injury from its employment, are likely to continue taking it. Not many, we fear, will even test their ability to do an addition sum after drinking a glass of beer • but the great majority are likely increasingly to practice modera tion, even if they do not feel ib their duty to practise abstinence.
