SOMEBODY circulated o petition in
Yakima county, q few days ago,
against a forfeiture of the railroad
land grant. This led to counter
petition and the hanging of the first
party in effigy, in Yakima City, by
some of the more demonstrative and
excitable of the people. In trans
hitting this incident over the wire

unfortunately substituted for " va

The Opium Habit.

Few people have any idea of the
lap.d growth of the opium habit i'll
some of our large cities, while there
is scarcely a village II he land
where 1t has not made its presence
Felt in some form or other. The
most baleful etfec,s of this pern!cious
drug result from smokln. it, and the
habit once formed i, never ahan-
doned. 1t clings to the unfortunate
victim like the tabled shirt of Neme-
sis, and only death can relieve the
sufferer from the lassitude, the wear
mess and decay of the system, and
the Unsuitable demand fo1 more of
the fearful poison.
The people of this coast especially
will be glad that Congressman Budd,
of California, has introduced hi!
to prohibit the importation aud sale
of opium. 1t affirms that the habit of
opium smoking among the people of
the United States is spreading with
frightful Iapidity under the foster
ing care of the Chinese; that the i'm
ports of opium has increased FROM
81 .7O5 pounds in 1881, to 29S, 1872
pounds in the year ending June,
1888, and it is now proposed to re-
duce the duty thereon 20 per cent !;
that the habit of opium smoking
once acquired cannot be overcome +;
its victims will not live in any place
where the drug cannot he procured,
and that nearly 80 per cent. of our
Chinese population are slaves to the
opium pipe, and cessation of the
importation of the drug would cause
large exodus of that people. The
bill provides that the importation Of
opium, except the aqueous extracts
for medical use in tinctures, shall be
prohibited under penalties of fine
and imprisonment, and the sellers,
those who knowingly aid or abet
its importation and sale, shall, upon
conviction, be punished by a fine
not exceeding $1,000, and imprison-
meat not to exceed five years.
The CLASSY eye and haggard ap-
pearance of many young men, land
shall it be said, women too, OCCASION
ally net with in cities and larger
towns indicate the inroads OF this
fatal disease. 1t speedily obliterates
al sense of shame, and the dirty
howell of the Chinese junk shops are
made o welcome RENDEZVOUS by the
depraved youth of both sexes.
While fighting alcohol, let us not
lose sight OF this greater destroyer
of the human family.

Corporation Rights.

Tie doctrine of the iuv!Ub!itv OI
lcgl lative contracts has been sci IA.
unu2lt hv recent decision Of the
mt'd States Supreme Court.
The question is, say 5 the Court,
through chief Justice Waite !,
Whether the plaintiffs, organized as
company under the acts OF 1913
before the adoption Of the Constl,u-
tluu ui lN1J. have "A vested light
Which thc safe IL prohibited by the
Constitution of the nitod States
from impaInng or taking away.
+ And here Is the doctrine Land down ::
d" The Court holds that the Spring
Valley Mater Works is an artificial
bong. created under the authority OF
the Legislature Of California, and as
such could not be established except
under general laws, subject at all
times to alteration and repeal, and
that II was from the moment of its
creation subject to the Legislative
power u alteration, and if deemed
.xrclient, Of absolute extinguish-
ment a. corporate body"
This, says MI exchange, is a very
broad and sweeping decision, aud
while II applies Ill terms only to q
corpoiation created under q general
law of the State, it covers the great
majority of existing corporations.
And even in The case of special acts
If Incorporation the doctrine will
cover them, as an artificial being
can gam no rights as against society,
or the right of material beings, by
the exercise of power in restricted
sense, or by failure to provide spe-
cfc remedy. In view of questions
inevitable in the near future, this is
one of the most important decisions
rendered for many years, and will
cut n controlling figure in the juris-
prudence of after years.
The only dissent from this deci-
sion was by Justice Field. He said:
at goes beyond all former adjudi.
cations in sanctioning legislation i'm
pairing the obligations of contracts.
II in effect declares that whenever q
corporation is created with the reser-
walton that the Legislature may alter
or repeal its character, no contract
can DO made which shall bind the
State any longer than she may
choose to DO bound"
