Opium Eatingi New York

The Evening Post is showing the extent,
magnitude, and influences of opium eating in
this country. We quote:
The importation of the drug has increased
beyond the ratio of the increase of popula-
ton. The amount now passir g through the
New York Custom House annually falls but
little below one hundred thousand pounds
and the parts of Boston, Phiadelp hia, Balti-
more, and New Orleans must triple that guam
tity. Not tenth part of it can be requiI ed
for medical prescriptions. The average TO
the population equals, if it does not exceed,
that used in China and the Indian Archi-
pelago.
Inquiry among druggists in the different
wards Of New York and Brooklyn would
seem to establish that the use of opium ac-
tually increases from year to year at the ratio
of about 80 per cent. Some dealers, evading
direct answers, give the impression that they
only sell to fill out medical prescriptions, but
in one or two instances il is found that the
income derived by them from the sale is no
unimportaut or Improbable item in their ac-
counts. Others, more frank, have acknow-
lodged that they sold many times more than
the quantities required for prescriptions.
Few consumers ofthe drug, however, obtain
their supplies from one apothecary: desiring
to conceal their habit from observation, they
procure them from several shops. We are
conndent that the amount sold in any one
drug store in a ward is more than ample, as a
general rule, to meet the wants of the physi-
clans. Yet the number of such shops in this
city is counted by hundreds. The quantity
consumed here annually must average from
one to two ounces for every adult inhabitant.
and possibly more. It seems to be used more
in the eastern than in the western side of the
town, and more in Brooklyn than in New
York

The Atlantic Telegraph Gable.

By the last mail from Europe we learn that
those entrusted with the undermining of the
cable at Valentia Bay, Ireland, for the pur-
pose of laying the shore end of the line, had
discovered kink which caused the exposure
of the conducting wire to the water, and
which mast have seriously interfered with the
transmission of the electric currents. We
are of the opinion that this is the defect which
has prevented the successful working of the
line. and now that it has been removed there
is the strongest ground for the hope that the
cable is now electrically perfect, or sufficient
" so To allow of the transmission of messages
between the two worlds.
Ii is to be regretted, however, that the
undermining was discontinued, as other
defects might have been detected, and it is no
less n cause for regret that all the electricians
at the Valentia station were discharged, so
that after the defect alluded tn had been re-
paired there was no means of testing the
electrical condition of the cable. AS soon,
however, as the financial negotiations Of the
company with the government shall have
been concluded, we have no doubt that the
cable will be put in proper. working order,
aud that business will be resumed on the
line. This would seem to be the chief
obstacle ut present, and as soon as il shall he
removed the cable will be worked, and worked
successfully.--N. T. Herald.

fraud by under udl,dfion. IN. advocates of The
change dllege that, under our present system, The
government is dsfrduded dy pdriots means Of lis
legitimate d,aies upon tesye portion of the imports
In proof of this charge "A comparison has
been instituted between the value of our ex-
ports and imports for the last three years,
showing that the imports were less, by a
large amount, than the exports.
This difference is charged to under valua-
ton. fhe remedy proposed is either home ralud-
ton yeifc duties. IL is true that the exports
for the last few years have exceeded the i'm
ports, but the inference which has been drawn
from il is not necessarily correct.
1.-THE general result which 1 have stated
Indicates that if frauds have been practised
upon the revenue. it is not owing to orr pre-
sent ad valorem system"
The President thus declares that, under the
al pdlorem system, frauds are committed upon
The Government. aud his "head Clerk of the
Treasury las John Randolph used to call
that officer) says it is not sol The President
says that this system Of specific duties affords
the only remedy, and his Secretary says that
IL possesses no merit" Mr.. Buchanan
affirms that under this system, there would
he "no danger If higher rate of duty being
levied than that intended by Congress-"
whilst Mr.. Cobb maintains that it would be
unconstitutional, and its effect tend to
increase the taxes of the people, and make
their burthens irregular. The President
favors the adoption of the specific system,
whilst his Secretary says. al would adhere to
the principles of the present tariff act"
With these broad distinctions we should
hardly think it compatible for the President
to retain his Secretary of the Treasury in the
Cabinet, or for the Secretary to remain. But
all rumors Of resignation appear to have
died away. Nothing will probably be done
in regard to the tariff. The government ex-
penditures for another year will exceed the
government revenues; and, at the session of
1890. the finances of the country will be
in worse condition than at present.

American State Convention.

We republish below an article from the
GAINESVILLE Chronicle favOring' postpone
ment of the American State Convention.
Upon this subject adhere to what we have
heretofore said, that the Convention ought to
be held on the 22d day of February next,
and our canuiua'O ~-sht to be on the stnrnr
ny the LIST of April. Nevertheless, if it be
the general wish, we shall not object to a
postponement. 1t would be best, however,
we think. under any circumstances, for the
different counties to held meetings, and ap-
point delegates to the Convention, and after
wards, if necessary, postponemcnt of the
time can be announced
we believe the Chronicle was the first to
recommend a Convention of the opposition
on the 22d of February, to nominate can
didate for Governor In making that recon-
Iuendation. we were Influenced by the con-
Viction that the more time candidate
could devote to the canvass the better and
such would still be our conviction under or
binary circumstances. But 1.-the present as
pect of American politics. has changed our
opinion and if it be not too late, should
be pleased to have the meeting Of the Con-
vention deferred until after the 4th of March.
The positions of parties are lar from being
te00eu, anu 80 are Ilt CudiScS tlldt OC-
cur in the absence of sound principles, that
it is impossible to foresee upon what issues
the approaching canvass will be made; and
not knowing what they may be. any prepar-
atoms. in advance, must to some extent, be
gIess-wOrk. The present condition of the
d mocratic party is q desperate one, and as
the present session of Congress will be de-
voted exclusively to the manufacture of po-
litical capital, and the organization of the
manifold elements that make up democracy,
may it not be the part of wisdom to await the
developments that must be made, before steps
are taken for the contest? The signs are in
dicative of strange events; the public mind
is in state of vaccilation. and party tyran-
ny is evidently arousing il to serious refec-
ton upon existing evils and their remedy.
And If this be So ii were better to await the
favorable results that must follow such re-
Fiction than to check it by taking such steps
Us may call for the immediate application of
tn, party lash, or arouse inveterate party
prejudices. Since the Illinois election, de-
mocracy is in a state of fermentation, and
the success of Douglas is bound to exert no
little influence upon the State elections in the
South. That influence is already being felt;
hut as time alone can show its extent and
direction. we feel that the opposition have
nothing to lose, and perhaps much to gain
by waiting. quietly, till the democrats show
their UNDERSTANDABLE Chronicle.
