A CHAPTER Oh P0IseHs.

tion easy of definition, yet It has been
the subject Of much debate among med
ico-legal authorities.
The nncients considered everything as
poisonous that produced malignant
symptoms, and attacked directly the W.
tal principle. The moderns believe that
no;ee,,, ia /. substance which, being APP
nlied in one way or the other to the hui
man body. is capable of destroying the
action al the vital functions, or OF plac-
ing the solids and fluids In situation
which prevents the continuance OF life.
Opium is O poison with which tue
American public are best acquainted,
Arst from its widespread employment to
suuerinduce agreeable sensations by Its
use in small doses, internally or hyf,o-
dernically, or by smoking. and second
by the frequent deaths which occur
among infants and children who are ac-
cidentally given too much OF this most
pernicious drug.
There are two kinds of opium, the soft
sort which comes from China and Tnr-
key. 1t is principally used for smoking;
it ia cheap, and not greatly in demand.
tits brought to this country by way OF
San Francisco, though, since the intro
duotion of SO many Chinese into this
city, some opium is brought directly to
this port.
The other kind of opifsn is brought
from Smyrna, and is hard. 1t is this
latter which is employed IN medical
treatment. IT is high in prlce, and
fiuctuates in yalue according to demand.
A wear ago, owing to rains in the hill
country where it is grown, the pr1ce o.
opium in this country ran up to eight or
ten times its former cost.
Opium is the Juice OF the common
white poppy, obtained by inoision into
its capsules when they have arrived at
maturity. The red poppy of England
and America contains narcotic prin-
ciple in very much smaller quantities
and Of much less value than the white.
For this reason, and that neither country
ia adapted for it's cultivation, opium is
mn imported drug. 1t yields over thirty
distinct principles, the best known of
which. and most generally employed IN
medical science, il morphine. Another,
which has only lately been brought
prominently int .nse, is called cadeine.
The symptomsof poisoning by opium
are too well known 10 need description.
All are familiar with the devices resorted
to tokeep people suffering from its effects
from INDUCING in that sleep which ends
in death. The antidose to opium is coffee.
The bodies Of persons who have died
from this drug pass rapidly into putrc-
faction.
Opium entered largely into the pois.

Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1882-02-03

Mr.. Editor The people of Maryland, and
especially of Montgomery county, have great
reason 10 be proud OF their fellow citizen,
A. B. Davis, ltcannot be said of him that,
like "Ephraim, he is Joined to his idols, let
him alone; or, like the "dog to his vomit,"
or the SOW to wallowing in the mire,"
About four years ago, in the political con-
test, the hardest terms he could apply to the
Democratic candidate for the Senate was,
'that,he was a friend of Mr.. German" "that
he was the friend of the canal" and as the
embodiment of all that was bad and evil,
"he was a ring man." In addition to all this
he was most strenuous in his denunciations
Of the management Of the canal, charging
that it was conducted upon the principles of
apolitical machine to keep the ring in power.
How proud he must feel to-day to be able
to rise above his past errors, to make full
and free confession Of the iallacious ideas
and notions he entertained, and say to the
people of Montgomery county that he was
wrong and Mr. German was right.
-Four years ago Mr.. Davis was most ear
nest advocate in movement to take the
management of the canal out of the hands
of the State and lease it to the bondholders
1t might well be said a change has come
over the spirit of his dream and it is to be
are now past, and we trust with them his
tickleness.
1t must be confessed, when memory turns
back TO an article which appeared in your
paper in the past, in which was cited with
much terseness the many positions and po-
litical tenets heretofore advocated and sup
ported by Mr.. Davis with that zeal and ear
nestness for which he is noted, our faith is
somewhat shaken as TO his stability upon
any subject. If memory has not failed, the
pointed writer of the lille and adventures OF
Mr.. Davis promised continuous pubica-
ton of the same TO completion under certain
contingencies, but the writer is appealed to
to desist in behalfof his subject.
Mr., Davis now seems to have embarked
upon the highway of an honest political Ca
reer Of fortune and TO fame, in which his
sole purpose is the success of the canal and
the prosperity of the State of Maryland
Under circumstances like these it would be
highly improper to call to his memory or
drag before the public the forgotten past,
with its whigism, its know nothingism, its
Democracy, its Unionism, and numerous
other isms. Let these freaks and indiscre.
tons of his boYish days be buried in the
dead and forgotten past
This promised history of the canal doubt.
less will enlighten our people, will contrib
ute greatly to its future prosperity, and will
have great tendency to relieve Senator
German from the denunciations of Mr. Da-
Wis friends; in short 1t will harmonic our
present political difficulties. II possible, Mr.
Davis, say "a word or so in favor of Mayor
Whyte Tor it is absolutely necessary to pro
pitiate all the elements, and do not forget
Messrs Heating, Compton and Cotton. You
must be mindful that you have launched
your bark not upon the calm sea, but upon
the raging and tempestuous canal.

The County Bond Question.

NJ. Editor. Your issue of the 9th ult.,
contained communication from George Il,
Waters, Esq, one of our County Commits.
sioners, opposing the issuing of county
bonds TO pay the school debt
have the most profound respect and con,
fldence in the good Judgment of Mr.. Wa.
tiers, but in this particular case beg leave to
differ with him, as the plan proposed by him
for its liquidation, so far as the taxpayer is
concerned, is "distinoton without differ
ence," but not SO to the holders of the Ger.
tiilcates of Indebtedness. Three-fourths OF
those holding certificates are not doing so as
Investments, but because they cannot get the
principal, which they need now, and IL any
OF them are compelled TO sell TO the "chim.
ney corner bankers or "curb-stone brok.
ers" they will find distinction" with a
very great difference
The county can easily raise the money on
her bonds, and as Mr.. Waters proposes 10
pay interest on the Indebtedness, the cost 10
the county will amount to the same sum,
aud the first-named plan will relieve its
creditors Of great Inconvenience.
think Mr.. Waters fear is groundless that
he issuing of these bonds will be an enter
ing wedge for an increase of the bonded
lebt of the county. The people, am sure,
will be slow TO give their sanction TO any
legislative enactment giving the County
Commissioners authority TO create bonded
lebt, unless some strong and cogent reason
,xists for IT, JrsTICE.

County Matters of Interest

M. Editor My attention was called to
the letter of one of our County Commits
sioners in your late issue, which does not
meet with the appreciation Of our people, for
our best citizens wish that old school debt
settled, therefore they petitioned our honored
representatives to do justice to those gentle
men who have SO long and so patiently held
accounts against our county. 1 would sug-
gest that the County Commissioners be al
lowed the privilege OF redeeming the con-
templated bonds or a portion Of them at
the end OF any year when they can do so
without stopping our schools, for if mistake
not that was part of their excuse when our
schools were stopped last year, that they had
paid off several thousand of the county
bonds, which some thought cleared the
county of debt, while this honest school
debt was still hanging over their heads /
hope 1t will not be long before all kinds of
property will be held responsible for its Just
proportion of the States revenue, For at
least one Of Montgomery's delegates, and il
is also said our State Senator is pledged to
tax mortgages, which would be great help
to fill the Golfers of our county. The reve
nue. from the thousands that are now hid, by
bad legislation, would soon pay off our
county's Indebtedness and build us new
Court House, which would be an honor TO
our people, for none but blind man can help
seeing that we actually need that necessary
improvement. Is it not class legislation and
the neglect Of keeping up with the improve
ments Of the age that is fast reducing our
Democratic Majority Therefore is il not
time that our representatives had gone to
work in earnest in behalf of an honest set
Element of our county's liabilities and to
provide for its future wants and stop this
kilkerney cat fighting that has been so long
carried on by those who wish to be leaders.
1t is evident to my mind that no county
or State is large enough for two leaders at
one time in any party, therefore let it be
known that no one who failed at our last
election 10 vote for our party's nominees or
bolted our party's caucus at Annapolis will
hereafter get the support of tho true Demo.
Gratis Of the county, at least until they
have shown by their acts that they have
seen the error of their ways, by not taking
stock in the false cry Of ring, but help
Ring out the old, ring in the new;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

United States Senator George has bill
pending which proposes to encourage agri-
culture and manufactures by repeating the
duties and imposts now levied on machin-
cry for the manufacture of cotton and wool
en-. goods; on goods composed OF hemp or
jutc; also on tools Of mechanics which are
used solely in manual labor; also on all ag-
ricultural implements and on all cotton ties.
This bill is one Of the many that have been
introduced during the present session look
ing to reduction or removal of tariff duties
and overthrow of the system of protection
as il now exists. The protectionists find
themselves attacked on every band by bills
under all sorts of titles, but all aimed at the
same end The bill of Senator George is to
encourage industry" by giving to the far
lner, mechanic and manufacturer cheap i'm
plements, tools and machinery. Farming
is now carried on in this country chiefly by
the aid of machinery, and the tariff for pro-
lection keeps the price of this machinery so
high that il is beyond the reach of the poor
man.
