THE HUMBUC OF TAKING "BITTERS.'

The mode of life of the average
American is of such a character that
he is constantly in need of tonic.
He is rushed at his business, swal-
lows his meals hastily and without
any thought as to the capacity of
his stomach for digestion, takes lit
tie rest, is subject to headache, and
often takes gloomy view of things
generally. In such cases he resorts
to bitters, under the delusion that
they will act on the secretions of the
stomach, and give the system new
strength and energy. Men with
active brains, whose professions
compel them to lead scdentary lives,
also long for a tonic. They may be
opposed to the use of what are popu-
larly called stimulants, meaning fer
mented liquors, and so they lay the
hattering JUNCTION to their souls that
Il wine-glassful of some bitter de-
coction will steady their nerves,
supply their brains with gray mat
ter, and eXhilarate them without
after depression.
A little thought would show them
under what II fallacy they are labor
ing. The writer recently purchased
samples of four of the most widely
advertised bitters in the market, and
the simple chemical analysis to
which they were subjected showed
that they contained about thirty per-
cent (the amount the Government
allows) of the most poisonous and
adulterated alcohol, and that the
residuum consisted of various for
eign substances, which were simply
added as tlavoring extracts, to dis
guise the taste of the original COM
pound. The poorer the grade of the
alcohol, the more vicious is the COM
pound. The value which such So
called bitters are supposed to have
is of a purely fictitious character.
In fact, in time they irritate and in
jure the delicate membrane of the
stomach, and so vitate the taste that
the palate cannot soon distinguish
between good and bad. 1t is neither
natural nor healthy excitement
which is produced by these so-called
aids to digestion, and the wonder is
that sensible people, who know n
little at least of the operation of

WICKED GREAT BRITAIN.

A singular and significant exhibit
of the march of immortality in the
United Kingdom of Great Britain is
made in a recent number of the
PdU MAJ Gdeette by means of n
series of diagrams, in which the re-
cord of twenty odd years is placed
before the eye at one glance, and it
is not record which can be contem-
plated by churchmen or philanthro-
pists without sadness. Since 1861
the apprehensions for drunkenness,
and on charges of "drunk and dis
orderly which were reported in
that year at 50, l06 in England and
Wales, have steadily increased until
in 1884 they numbered 1927
Had the increase only kept pace
with the growth of the population
the figures for 1884 should have
been about 10000, so that the ra-
pid stride made by this kind of
offenses against law and decency is
palpably due to lowering of the
moral character of the community.
AS bearing on the same general sub
ject, and as presenting an astound-
ing condition of affairs, the figures
of the nations drink bill are even
more significant. In 1861 the cit
liens of the United Kingdom paid
for drinks nearly fa5, 100000 or
$40, 100000. They should have
paid in 1876, according to the ratio
of the increase of population, about
f1O7 900, 900 but they did pay the
astonishing sum of nearly CAS-
100000. Some hope for the tempe
rance people may be gathered from
the fact that the bill since 1876 has
decreased to f125,0OO, 900, in
1888, but this will be re-
gardcd as cold comfort when it is
considered that the natural increase
according to population should have
made the sum paid for liquors in
that year but about flO7 900, 900.
The record of the divorce courts
shows also the steady decentralization
of her Maiesty's subjects. In 1861
but 263 petitions for divorce were
filed in England and Wales. In
In 1881 the number had risen to
703, though the normal increase,
according to population, shonld have
brought it up to only $40. With
the growth of immortality the pas
sion for self-dcstruction has also
grown naturally, and while but
1888 attempts at suicide, success
full or unsuccessful, were reported
in 1861, the number had swollen to
1922 in 1884. The census of idiots,
lunatics and persons of unsound
mind showed 6,765 such unfortu-
mates in 1888, against 39,G47 in
| 1864.
In crimes of repulsive nature,
which shows their perpetrators to
be wholly devoid of moral principle,
the increase in the last twenty years,
especially in London and the larger
cities, has been startling in the ex-
IRENE, but it is not necessary to
specify these classes of Qffenses
more particularly. The drunken
ness, pauperism and idiocy to be
found in the United Kingdom are
indications that the morality of the
people is d eclining rapidly. The
church and the philanthropists may
wisely ask themselves whether it is
not expedient to begin mission work
at home, and spend some of the
money which is now used for Christ
ianizing the heather in reforming
the outcasts of society who pass
under their own eyes daily.-[S. f.

GENERAL MILES, DISCOVERIES.

General Miles seems to have very
 quickly discovered the principal source Of the troubles which for years have
 been caused by Indians and the opera
 a:ions of smugglers along the Mexican
 border. He declares that the present defences along the line are entirely in
 adequate to sustain the national dig nity, to protect Arizona and New Mexi- co from outlaws who come over the
 Mexican line, or even to restrain our own turbulent population, prevent smuggling, etc. He finds one stretch of border country 2jO miles lcns in the Territories named "where there is net one military post, and it IS between these two points ,hat every rGlding party from the Sierra Madre has entered this country"
 This will explain, to a certain extent at least, why the Apaches have had such An easy time h eseapllg pursuit and have found 1t matter of such small difficulty to make their periodical out breaks and murder, pillage and burn to their hearts content. 4 safe retreat through an unguarded door. wide open for 25O miles, was always provided for them. It explains also why 1t is that smuggling has been so extensively car ried on that contrsband goods have been continually sold ID American towns along the border in su5h large quantities us to seriously affect the trade of legiti- mate merchants there and call forth numerous Gn1 angry protests and peti- uons to congress, several of which have been gent in during the present session, appealing for government action to put a stop to it. General Miles advises con gress 10 appropriate S200,00O for i'm provements, the strengthening Of the present posts and tLe establishment of new ones. If this sun Is sufficient i; will be very small prIce to pay fer the securing of order along tbe line, the stoppage of Indian ralds and the ending of the iD!urIous and lavless con- petition of the EmuGglers with those merchants who deal honestly by the goverumc of both countries.

CorralIing the Ho>tiles.

Special 70 tho CITIZEN.
 MORALES, April 27-About 70 Apaches passed up the Santa Cruz valley this morning early, killing several MexicRns and Americans. They passed Calabasas about seven this morning. capturing some Sykes & Atkinson's stock aGd shooting a Mexican through the arm.
 In answer to call for help, about forty volunteers, well armed, left here at eight o'clock on special train, reach ing Calabasss in twenty minutes. Scouting parties were organized and ths hostiles were discovered in camp about two miles north of Calabssas. A second train of volunteers left at 10 o'clock and word was shortly received that the hostiles were being corralled and would be held for the arrival of troops. At noon detachment of the Tenth cavalry. under Capt. Lebo. passed here for The scene of action. A com pany of cavalry also passed Crl;tenden about II o'clock headed for Caisbasas. About sixty volunteers from Nogales are ID the field. 4 third train has just left here wlth provisions, cBnteens and sur plies There has been intense eX- citernsnt in town all day and business IS practically suspended.

WE need not apologize for the great amount of space devoted to the findings in the Port Lobos bond case to-day. It is a subject in which every tax payer IS interested, and a plain statement of facts, as recorded in the court. is far preferable to fragmentary reference. tnsinuations have been thrown out, coupling some of our we'll known and honorable citizens, particularly certain of the stock men, with implication in the stuPendous fraud. and it Is hut rIght and proper that the truth should be known. We have shorn the findings by the court of their legal verbiage and give only tire summary.

Of Pima county, shedding blood at every favorable opportunity. If this is merely a bold dash made by the hostiles just to show what they can do when the spirit moves them, 1t is a'sortie of greater daring than the Indians usually under take. IL Is hardly possible that they are making towards the reservation to lncite others to join them, or they would make the journey secretly. It is more likely that they are endesvoring to round uD supply of horses, stock, guns and ammunition from a new and fresh field before returning to the Sierra Madres. Whatever may be their intention it is hoped tn t the troops may get between them and the boundary line and anni- hilate the whole band.
