Drinking Habits in Denmark.

1t is reported on the trade and com
merce of Denmark, Mr.. Harris,
British Counsul at Copenhagen,
draws a gloomy picture of the drink
ing habits of the Danish people as
exhibited in statistics recently collect
ed by the Government. Between 1860
and 1880 the total number of places
licensed to sell intoxicating drink is
stated to have risen from 81 to 81 per
1000 inhabitants In 1871 there were
S25 divorces granted IN Denmark.
seventy Of which were brought about
by dlunknesS; in 1880 the figures were
$50 and 104. In PI3Sto and Born
holm all the divorces are stated to
have been brought about by drunk
ness. Excessive drinking is declared
to be in these cases generally the fault
of the husband. AS to the influence
of drinking habits in bringing people
to pauperism, the statistics show that
80 per cent of the persons relieved at
public expense are habitual drunk
ards. The increase in the amount of
lunacy between 1870 and 1880 was 90
per cent, and in Copenhagen the in
crease of suicides Is ,ery marked. :"
For some unexplained reason there is
considerable falling off in the mum
Der of deaths from drinking reported
in 1881 and 1882 The circumstance
is the more remarkable since there
was during the same period a large
increase in the number of public
houses, as we'll as in the consa anption
of drink. This is strikingly shown
in the fact that, although the license
tax was raised IN 1880 and again in
1883 to very high rate, the amount
of the drink taxes levied in 1883 was
270 900 kroners, against 120, 600 only
1880.

Tine Race for Chicago.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-It is anus
idg to note the plotting and counter
plotting and the ingenious baIts held
out in angling for delegates. Arthur
is said to be gaining just now on
Blaine: and many of Blaine's preten-
tious claims are shown to be bogus.
The Maryland delegation was stoutly
claimed for Bi2ias, but it is now as
serted that a majority of them are foi
Arthur. Kansas Is not likely to be
solid for Blaine. The two senators are
at work for Arthur. Blaine's forces
in New York and OHIO, are also
troubled with deserters and stragglers
There is much doubt respecting the
state of Indiana. Blaine is figuring
for that state with Harrison as second
choice. The Hoosiers are encouraged
to work a while for Blaine with the
promise of help when Blaine's case is
hopeless. Arthar's friends are play
ing the same game with GreshaIn for
the bait.
Blaiae's strategy is developing
every day. He is terribly in earnes.
With the masses of the party in favor
of him, he deems it his province to
meet them half way IN urgent en-
deavors to capture the nomination.
The opposition comes mainly from the
aristocratic element of the party.

The People of Mexico.

The population of Mexico is com
monty estimated at 9,000,0 900 or 10, :
000,0 No census has been taken, but
this estimate is probably not exagger-
ated. The great mass of the inhabi
tants are Indians, and in race and
habits they are similar to the Pueblo,
Zuni and Navajo Indians of New
Mexico and Arizona, They are gen
orally small in stature, sober, honest,
industrious, temperate and intelli-
gent A more valuable peasantry can
scarcely be found. Their virtues are
their own; their vices are of European
admixture. School education has
done little or nothing for them; but
of late years efforts have been made
to establish schools for their benefit.
They seem very capable of being in
structed; and if. as we trust, there is
bright future for Mexico, it lies IN
the education and development of
the native race.
The ruling classes of Mexico are
mainly of Spanish and mixed blood.
The late President Juarez was pure
Indian, but the number of educated
people, with nothing Spanish in their
origin, must be very small indeed.
Among the civil and military func
tionaries the Spanish element ap-
pears to predominate; and the po-
litical usages of the country are de-
cidedly Spanish in their nature.
