TIE ANrI.OPlrn MOVEMENT.

While scientists and reformers are
waging an uRcompromising warfare
upon intoxicating liquors, thoughtful
men are seriously considering the best
ways and means of checking the con-
sumption of opium in this country.
Intempersnee is bad enough, but the
opium habit is more insidious in its ma
ture, and more fatal in its consequences.
In dealing with the opium craze it is
q noticeable fact that the consumption
of the drug is much greater in the older
states than In the newly settled sections
Of the country. There is something in
the intense life of our older communi-
ties which tends to irritate sensitive
and nervous tempersments, driving
people to the use of stimulsnss and mar
coties for temporary relief. The obvious
remedies for overtaxed and excitable
systems is. Of course, rest, proper diet,
and the exercise Of that will power pos
ssssed by the average man. But 1t is
useless to point out such remedies when
the very people who would most profit
by them prefer TO stupefy their senses
with opium. The fact stares US in the
face that in the Atlantic States the use
Of narcotics Is increasing at q fesrfully
rspid rate. What can be done to check
ite In these days the popular mind is
prone to lean upon the strong arm Of
the Government whenever there Is =
danger to be met or difficult problem

is recommended by certain boards OF
health, and by persons who have looked
into the matter, that the sales Of Dsr-

the opium habit. BY itself, this policy
will not accomplish its purpose. 1t
must be supported by monal and phys

gle will be hard and doubtful. Still, the
evil has assumed such enormous pro-

Her slayer, George $. Walsh, WIS taken into the
court room, filed with Wash's friends, but he
paid no attention to them, appearing like ono
completely dazed. When informed of
the charge against him he merely said:
Il don't know anything about it"
Walsh being asked why he shot the woman.
answered that he was entirely ignorant of the
affair The first animation he had of this facta
was when lie found himself in the station house
Ever since he has been trying to clear his mind
of blame, but could not. His eyes and tacei
showed that he had been a protracted spree.
He evaded question as TO his relations with the,
dead woman He had no previous difficulty
for committing the act. His victim was.
a friend. and he liked her. Walsh is well knOwns
on the west side of the city. At one time he was
sexton of the st. Joseph Catholic Church, and
after that conducted undertaking business.
He lost this by means of drinking habits ac~
quired mainly in dabbling in local or ward poll

At the lenten services in the Cathedral, last
Tuesday evening, Archbishop Elder, in speaking
of the Berner case and the threatened violence
towards him, spoke in substance as follows:
"From what l can hear and the reports of in
terviews in the papers, there is manifestation to
commit violence in this city, and TO take the life
of person. Now you should not agitate, or en-
couFge such action, because it is certainly sinful
In such times men make excuses to justify such
deeds. but they are entirely wrong, because no
one has the right to take the life of another eX-
eept those duly authorized by law or in time of
war, when one country is at war with another
To kill person in self-defense when in danger
of being killed is imminent, then, and only them
is the taking of life justified.
you should talk to your neighbor if you
know that he desires to do violence, and try and
hinder him from carrying out his ideas, for it is
the duty of every good citizen to see that the
law is respected. Moreover, violence would be
no remedy, and you certainly cannot stop crime
by committing new ones, and evils are not to be
cured by effort, but by something deeper.
Acknowledge and fear God, and train your chill
dren to do likewise
"You should therefore, do all in your power
to preserve tho peace, and the Almighty will
give you the remedy to check crime Teach

WASHINGTON, March 29-The testimony be-
fore the Danville committee to-day was mostly
confined to statements concerning the distribu-
ton of the Danvile circular and its effect upon
the election One witness testified that a negro
said just before the riot that this would be bad
day for the whites. The negroes were armed
and fired over their shouldels as they ran. An
other witness swore that Jesse Kean tDemoerat)
threatened that colored people would be shot
down like dogs and driven off like Indians if
they didn't vote with the Democrats.
w. s. Jones, of Martinsville, Va, first heard
of the Danville riots Sunday morning, the
day after its occurrence,

election and fell into conversation with a
stranger, whose name he could not give This
man told the witness that he was afraid of
trouble in Danville, where he lived He had re-

as trouble was anticipated. Three signals on the
Star warehouse bell in DanVile so the stranger
said, would call together hundred armed men

historian and was in Bath County gathering
material for a book. Party feeling ran very
high He heard of the Danvie riot on Satur-
day before noon (some hours before it occured)
He picked up circular without date which pur-
ported TO be an account of the riot.
Senator Vance objected to the description of
the circular, which could not be produced, and
the origin of which was unknown. He was
overruled The witness continuing, said the
general substance of the circular was that
''the black wave had struck Danville' and
four blacks and one white man had been
killed. The witness read this some time be-

picked it up in the depot and went out and sat
down and read it. He was sure it was before

conversed with the various murderers. Palmer,
Berner's accomplice, terribly frightened and

he saw that danger was over he assumed very
bravado air and laughed at the manner in which
he had bluffed the rioters. When asked what
they said to him he talked as follows: Hearing

have brought them into the assassin's room.
