Nevada Beef.

There must be some truti. in
the report in the -AhG that Ne
vada is getting to be the cattle
stable of TIE West The Reno
Gazette says:
Last night ~ carloads of
beef cattle went west from Reno
by special train. Brooks ship
ped a lot to Hayes, Carrick IL
Co., at the bay, and Louis Dean
sent band to Stockton. Dean
also sent over pair Of magnifi-
cent gray horses, IL hands
high, to work on delivery
wagon at Stockton. They were
raised i'm Honey Lake valley,
and and splendid specimens of
horse flesh. Among the beeves
sent was a barren COW weighing
2,i00 pounds, raised by b. +.
Leese. She is SO fat that she can
hardly stand. The bovine mon
strOsity will make San Francis
cans think that there is a fatteE-
ing virtue in sage-brush. Beef
is now being pushed west at q
rapid rate, mostly to fill engage
ments made some time ago.
There is no foundation for the
report that stockmen are rushing
their cattle into market because
they fear prices will soften down
to Improbable figures. Beef is
beef now, and the man who has
a band Of cattle is pretty we'll
liked. Prices may fiuctuate a
little, but not enough to mater
tally affect the market.

THE Future PARTY.

The Republican party has
anything but walkover in the
next Presidential campaign and
it must be fully organized be-
tween now and then in order to
do battle in the right way. The
best way to close up the lines is
outlined by George Gorham in
the National Republican, and a
clearer statement Of the neces-
sites of the hour was never
crammed into 50 short space.
He says:
The recent past has seen the
Republicans giving themselves
too much to the work of fight
ing Republicans. This was be-
cause they saw no other foe to
contend with. As result Of
their struggle with each other
the enemy has now appeared.
The tramp of his legions is
heard on the way to the White
House. The result will be that
the Republican cause will itself
lead its old leaders to the work
of staying the political reNou-
ton. The party can command
the services of all who have
fought its battles and won them
in the past. 1t cannot and Will
not allow any of them to be
omitted Oh the roll call or to
pull back On the rest. It Will
be no quarrel for precedence nor
yet for seclusion. The party
will have the best services Of all
on whom il calls. and it will call
on all. There must be room in
the party for those who opposed
the force bill in 1875 and for
those who opposed the nemina-
ton OF their leader in 1876 &;
room for those who upheld the
soothing syrup treatment Of De-
mocracy from 1877 to 1891, and
those who wanted to emphasize
the departure from it by again
electing General Grant room
for those who stood by the Cork-
ling leadership in New York in
1881, and those who took part
in its overthrow :; room for
those Republicans who votsd
the Republican ticket last Fall,
and those who did not room
for those who never voted the |
Republican ticket, as we'll as
those who never voted any |
other. Whether |
the Republican party will be the |
majority must depend on
whether its managers and adj |
pisors will agree that the ma
.Iority Of the whole people shall |
be the party. When the spokes-
man of a delegation Of clergy
men said to Mr.. Lincoln, during
the war, "Mr. President, the
Lord is on our side" the ready |
reply was, "If there is any doubt |
about it, hadn't We better get on
the Lords side - And so it !
may be said, that if the people
are not on the side of the Re
publican party, the party had
better get on the peoples side, |
provided that, in doing SO, it
leaves behind no principle for
which valor fought or which
justice and patriotism demand.

MEDICALABUsE OF OPIUM.

The great .triumvirs in the realm OF vice
are alcohol, tobacco and opium. or these
the last is most dangerous, because its use is
more seductive than the others and, because
It's used sureptitiously, as they are not. But
it is not alone hasheesh and other seductive
preparations Of opium that lead to its lntem-
perate use. Its effects, in most cases, are
first learned by its too indiscriminate use by
physicians. 1t is more dangerous than alcohol
when used as stimulant because more seduc-
tive in allaying pain, mental and physical, ex-
alting the mind as it does above its cares, and
producing condition completely abnormal.
They who have opium prescribed for COM
plants are pleased with its tendency to re-
lieve them temporarily from the perplexities
of life and acquire the habit of using it singy
for that relief. 1t is in this way its use is ex-
tending to dangerous excess. The impor-
tatlon of opium is yearly increasing, and
within 10 years has probably quadrupled. In
its consumption fully IS per cent is. prescribed
by physicians. In the North and East asylums
are peopled with its victims, who pro-
baby first learned its seductive character
from medical prescriptions. These
are pronounced more difficult of cure than
those whose excuses are in the use of alco-
holic liquors. The victim of opium is more
powerless than the ordinary inebriate to abate
the vice Cure is probably impracticable,
and, therefore, prevention is more incumbent
on society, and especially on the physician,
Let physicians forego the mistaken kindness
which leads them to prescribe pleasing anti
dotes for patients, solac IS for the mind rather
than remedies for the disease. The practice
is cruel itself. At the same time, as to legis-
lation, it would be far more judicious to inn
pose restraint on the sale Of opium than to
seek the prohibition of liquor traffic. 1t is
practicable, which the latter is not Probably
the Introduction of drink has the effect to in
crease the use of liquors, while it is also OPP
pressive because not the legitimate office of
as in the other case it is because
the sole legitimate use Of the drug is
medical. A man has a right TO govern his
life but not to destroy it. He has right
to regulate his drinking economy but not his
drug economy. 1t would not be oppressive to
restrict the sale of opium to that delivered
upon medical orders. The tendency of most
of those who learn in the abuse of opium to
practice secresy in its indulgence affords an
additional reason why legislation should inter
pose its salutary Office for the Introduction of
its sale.

THE Times man seems to feel bad because
the editor of the LIGHT is not an admirer of
the defunct Southern Confederacy. The
Times man can contain his indignation to vent
upon some one who has less contempt for
cause he considers holy. We bear no malice
or hatred, but we have deep-Seated convic-
tons that will remain. History will record
the failure of the Southern rebellion as the
greatest blessing that could have befallen the
Southern people. Then why attempt to
glorify cause which, if it had been success
full, would have dragged human liberty into
the depths of dispar and ruined the grandest
republic the history of the world has yet pro-
duced? We are all Americans, and, while
we bury the anim6sities of the past, we should
be true to our national traditions.

WASHINGTON COUNTY has sensation.
We notice by the Brennan Banner that its
pro rata of the State school fund has been re-
ceived by the County Treasurer, who will
forthwith be interviewed by the teachers.
This is common throughout the State, and
the pity is that the great State of Texas, that
can pay its bonds not matured at a premium
Of 90 per cent, cannot dispense with in
voluntary favors from its school teachers who,
like others, eat TO live and are driven to loss
by its delinquency. Legislation should de-
wise a remedy by means Of another and better
free school system.
