Making People Drunk by Contract

Making People Drunk DT Contfacxs
A Calcutta correspondent OF the Dundee
Aduertiser thus describes natfye publican
aud his establishments; "In the usual native
hut, built OF bamboo poles, lined with bamboo
mats, and covered with thatch Of COARSE grass,
dwells toddy seller, or tho publican Of the dis
trict Toddy is drawn from one kind Of palm tree
4 hole Is made in the tree under the branches,
an earthenwara pot is elnng underneath, and
in few hours gallon OF liquor is collected.
As it comes from the tree it is innocuous, but
when fermented-a process Of rapid develop
ment-it becomes Intoxicating. It presents the
appearance Of milk and water with froth like
souflee on the top. This toddy seller under-
takes to make people drunk By contract; four
annas, or sixpence sterling, is the usual price
for q rong-headed person. To increase the
Intoxicating power OF the toddy the seller adds
the Juice Of some plants Of deleterious nature.
Wehave frequently wRtched the process. Seated
In front Of the hut On q mat, The party to be
operated on takes the liquid he very soon pre-
sents d hilarious appearance, enjoys for 8 very
short time the delights OF the excitement, grad
uslly tumbles over, falls asleep, aud auakes the
most misunderstanding c1eatura imaginable,
forcibly reminding us, in the wild glare OF the
eyes Of tho inmates Of 4 lunatic asylun. Drunk
enness is the most common cause OF insanity in
this country"

From the Nankesha Freeman. e

It is now autho1itative1y stated that the St.
Paul Railroad Company has refused to accept
the st. Croix land-grant On the terms which were
agreed to before the Legislature last winter. In
view Of the fact that the grant could have
been otherwise advantageoualy disposed Of had
not the st. Paul Company made the pledges it
did, such an action would seem to be as near 3
swindle as is usually attained without legal ls-
ing Is the virtual consolidation Of the st. Paul
and Northwestern Companies, which places Wis
consin directly under the heel Of a monster
monopoly. It is still possible, however, that We
may come out al right, but it is unpleasant to
zee the power which can make everything wrong
vested in single corporation.

What Herbert Spencer Thinks OF Us.
In his discussion Of the political bias as dis
turbing element in sociological Investigations,
Herbert Spencer illustrates one OF his points by
a reference to this country. The particular point
is, that the forms OF liberty and the reality Of

diton Of the Eastern States, without going back
to the early days Of CALIFORNIA; or even resorting
to the contemporsneous West, I" where white
where secret gangs murder in the night men
whose conduct they dislike, where mobs stop
trains to lynch offending persons contained in
them, where the carrying Of q revolver is mat
tho execution Of Justice often impracticable,"
He merely alludes to these Western practices az
showing how intolerably people can be oppressed
while noniualty living under free inBtitu-
tiona. But nt the East he finds men Rit-
ting in Judgment on their own cases and ap-
plauded for doing So; justice tainted by gifts;
municipalities robbed and .nisgoverned by the
civic servants; financial frauds, the victims Of
which are principally without Temedy; citizens

ruling class OF professional politicians, whose
aim is to make money, and whose inter-
eats are, therefore, BY no means identical
with the public interests. While the outside
Mr.. Spencer, "there has grown up within
it reality which makes government not
free. The worship OF the appliances to liberty,
In place Of liberty itself, needs continually e1-
posing. There is no intrinsic virtue in votes.
The possession Of Representatives is not in
itself benefit. These are but means to an end;
and the and is the maintenance Of those condi-
lions under which each citizen may carry on his
life without further hindrnnces from other citi-
gems than are involved by their equal claims
the securing to each citizen all such beneficial
results Of his activities as his activities naturally

It is said by the Milwaukee Ne,ps, that the res-
ident Directors OF Wisconsin are very much NOR
titled in being overulod by Eastern men. 1t was
q daily boast OF these resident lobbyists, while
the bill was pending, that the Milwaukee d St.
Paul Road was Wisconsin institution, while the
Northwestern was not. Itseenas by the Eastern
Directors controlling this road, that while the
track is laid in Wisconsin, it is owned and con-
trolled out Of the State. We presume the resi-
dent Directors do feel mortified and it ahould
crowding through legislation. Whenever this

enter into bonds to carry out the provisions Of

FROM The portage REJtekT.
This condition OF affairs will carry much dis

part Of the State who had been made exceed
ingly jubilant over the prospects, and the Mil
waukee St. Paul Company will find it very diff
ficult to satisfy the people who have been so

clamorous to obtain the grant? Many explana-
tons viii be offered, but none Of them viii be
satisfactory, we opine. kThe agents Of the Com
pany had no right to assume to represent it
at Madison, unless they we're clothed With
authority to do so. It would have been
an easy matter to hayo convened the Board Of
Directors and agreed upon what terms they
would receive the grant. As it is, the Company
will stand in the position OF one that has trifed
greatly to its disadvantage. No matter what the
facts are, the Company will have to rest under
the suspicion Of having obtained the grant for
the purpose Of defeating the building Of the
road, and that is position that It can lily afford
to occupy. It will also rest under the suspicion

certain parties to unload" the nrge
amounts they we're carrying. It will Be
remembered that the stock Of the Company
immediately advanced from 81 to 60 under the
stimulus it received from the grant. It would
be bit Of desirable information to know 1ho
held the stock at 81, and who holds it now. The
Chicago & Northwestern will come in for part
OF the public censure, for the impression is gem
eral that the two companies we're ''cohoots" in
the affair, at the latter end, under an agreement
that the Chicago & Superior Air Line was to be
killed of, and q further agreement that they
would cease competition and 60 in and spool
