opium in England is increasing enormously, and
some temperance societies are accused of re-
placing brandy and gin by it. If this accusation
be true, the lamentable consequences may be
easily anticipated The quantity now used in the
United Kingdom is certainly enormous. In 1916
the consumption was 38,329 pounds in 1868 it
was IA, ,2l3 pounds. The contagon has spread to

of the Consultation it is provided that any

Assembly passed by vote of two-thirds
of all the members elected to each House.
As many of cur best citizens in Wash
inton County are in this prclicament
merely because of their political opinions
We would call their especial attention to
this clause, and advise them at once to
take steps to avail themselves Of it.
We are informed by those who arc ca
pable of judging of such matters, that
there may be objections to general law
restoring the rights of franchise, without
specially mentioning the names of those
who will be thus benefited, aud therefore
we would recommend to each distranchis-
ed citizen in this county to act in his own
case and to take imueI late teps to have
Il petition prepared to be SUBMITTED,
at the earliest possible day to tho Lcgis-
lature after its meeting.
While We suggest that each man shoul d
act for himself, We do not mean that
there should not be concerted move
ment. We would recommend that a Pc
tition should at once be put in circulation
in each District in the county, for the Sig
nature of those who arc row denied the
