May the better boat win
While the law is fastening its grip upon pharma-
clsts VINO put up morphine when qulnine Is called
for let it not overlook those who deal in adult
terated or wholly counterfeit drugs One has just
been detected, near Boston, selling tincture of OPT
um aduterateG 90 per cent white wine that was
simple alcohol and syrup that was nothing but
sugar and dirt with the rest of his stock, doubt
less, OF corresponding quality. Scarcely any pun
lshment is too severe for such knaye. He is en-
ricnlng himself deliberately and consciously at the
expense OF his patrons health and lives. Are there
any such among the druggists of New-York
1t does seem rather hard upon the Clerical party
In France for the Government to forbid the clergy
advising their parishioners how to vote. In the
election of next month the fate of the Church in
France is to be decided, practically. The anti
Clerical forces are allowed to use every means and
every influence TO gam votes against the Church.
1t is a curious Interpretation of liberty to deny
the Church equal rights of defence.
This is absolutely painful Here is The World of
yesterday after columns of facts in regard to the
great yacht race have been published in all the

state Convention on the ground that he is the
secretary of the state Board Of Agriculture and
his acceptance of the presidency of the convention
would be violation of the spirit Of Civil Service
Reform, but he finds no difficulty in approving
ClevelanPs course. How these Democrats strain
at invisible gnats and yoraciousy gulp down
camels. True Civil Service reform does not object
to the discharge by citizen of the duties which
are necessary part of the form of government
under which he lives. But it does oppose the har
boring in places of trust of such men as the Hs-
ginses, the Iroups, the Beatties and the Pills
bury8, who are the Outgrowth of this AdninIstra
tiOn. The essential difference between cant and
good faith in this Civil Service matter is clear
that the waytaring man. though a fool need not
err therein.
The Administration expresses regret that the re-
sponses to the circulars respecting tariff revision
come mainly from importers. aud that American
manufacturers pay no attention to them. 1t en-
thuslastc replies were desired the circulars should
have been sent to the English manufacturers.
They are heartily 10 favor of revising and REFORM
ing the American tariff out of existence. and a.

mind. and the ree-trade press faithfully represents
