THE SPIRIT OF THE SOUTH.
New York World

The Solid South is not yet broken,
and it cannot be broken by any of
the methods adopted by the Repub-
licans in the past. Senator Quay's
talk of the ENABLED hand' is either
blind malice or open-eyed folly.
What President Grant, with his iron
will, was unable to do while the
Southern States were many of them
still under military rule and the
country was wasted by the DONNA
ton of force. it is sheer lunacy to
think that President Harrison would
be able to accomplish twenty years
later, even were he disposed to un-
dertake it.. The day of coercion and
Of negro rule at the South has gone
by, never to return. $3.50.
The spirit of the South is National.
THE RACE QUESTION 1T MUST BE PER
MITTED TO SETTLE FOR ITSELF. But
there is no other Southern ..questio n
that is not also a Northern and q
Western question. The Southern
people are open to appeals to their
patriotism and their interests. They
can be divided politically on the
tariff question as soon as the Repub-
lican leaders make it safe for them to
separate. These are plain indlca-
tons that this is to be the new policy
of the party that will return to power
in March.

THE OPIUM SEIZURES.

When passion gets hold upon any
considerable portion of the human race
it seldom ever lets 90 that hold, whether
it be the craving for alcohol, for opium
or for the indulgence of other passions
Ii some licensed medium is established
through which the passion may be graft
fed with the sanction of law, the major
ity of those who are addicted to it will
repair thereto because it is the easiest
way to minister to the Unsuitable craving !;
for degraded humanity will invariably
avail itself of the readiest means at hand
There are three courses open to the con.
stituted authorities in regard to these
matters. They may let the whole thing
alone, in which case the evil will be-
come rampant and undisguised they
may grant licenses for the supply of the
poison under specific conditions, which
generally have the effect of cOncentrat-
ing the evil for the most part where the
eye of the law is upon it and where 1t
can therefore be controlled with greater
facility; or they can prohibit absolutely.
The result of this latter course has GEN
orally been to distribute the evil in all
manner of places where it is least sus-
pected. Thus, when the demand for
opium, which has assumed such marvel
lous proportions considering the limited
extent OF this community, was supplied
through a known medium, and although
the numb Der of persons afflicted with ''the
disease for which opium is the proper
remedy" was SO large as to create we'll
grounded incredulity, yet the supply
mostly came through one channel, and
the cases of illicit possession were less
numerous than in the days of prohibi-
: ton. Now that the old order OF things
has returned opium seizures are as
numerous as ever, and does any reason
able man suppose that the cases which
are brought to light are all that exist.
On the contrary, it is much more proba-
bic that they form only small percent
age. Whilst we do not uphold the
opium law of 1886, we still contend at
the broad principle of license is better
calculated to abate the evil than prohibi-
ton. We, however, incline to the belief
that the remedy of the future will lie in
antidotes which will eradicate these en-
shaving passions.

THE JOHN D. SPRECKELS.
She Goes On the Rocks while Enter.
ing the Golden Gate.

Captain Potter of the Ferris S. Thomp-
son brings news of mishap to the brig
antine John D. Spreckels while ,terinc
the Golden Gate. On the morning of
the 26th of April, about o'clock, the
Spreckels was entering the Golden Gate
with a good breeze. When at Fort
Point the wind suddenly left her and
the ebb tide drifted her on to the Mile
rocks. She laid there twenty minute
when little harbor tug passing by
hooked on to the Spreckels and offered
to tow her in for 5000 She was not
powerful enough to battle with the tide
and let go. The passengers on the
Spreckels (who included Mr.. and Mrs.
G. A. Jackson and child and Miss
Winter, all of Kahului) were transferred
to the tug, while the John D. SpreckeIs
drifted out 60 sea in sinking condition.
She set signals of distress and the steamer
Queen of the Pacific coming in at the
time saw them and took the Spreckels
in tow Half way down the tug Relief
met the vessels and towed the Spreckels
to the wharf A steam pump was set to
work and the water was pumped out o.
her. Five feet of water was found in the
hold. Captain Potter says he thinks
half the cargo would be saved and that
the brigantine did not receive much in
jury. The Spreckels had on board a full
cargo of sugar from Kahului.

ment. 1t now talks of the two re-
publican papers ofthe town. Wonder
WHY? 1t is now time for the Herald
to call the Statesman to order and
assert that there are two democratic
papers in town and the Herald the
only organ in opposition. A new re
ligious sect has recently been stated
in Nicholas county, W. Va, called
the "New Lights" They profess to
believe there is no hell. The editors
of the paper organs may therefore
join and have some hope left after
"this cruel war Campaign is over"

Your horse needs something more
than Corn, Hay and Water, he needs
your sympathy, your caresses, your
kind words, your tender care, and
above all you should look well after
the health of your horse. Like men,
he needs a medicine, a stimulant,
something to help digestion, and
eradicate the many aches and pains
he suffers while performing his la
borious task for men. His master
should select with care the best prep
arations the market affords, and adj
minister them according to direc-
tions just as you would for a human
being. To tell you that SToNEBRAK
ER's HORSE AND CATTLE POWDERS are
the best medicine that you ever gave
your horse, and that SToNEBRAKER's
Nerve and Bone Linment is the best
external remedy that was ever used
upon his valuable flesh, would only
be confirming the thousands of tes-
timonials that give evidence of their
curative powers and wonderful mer-
its.

spirit and the national idea that they

our unity as an inviolable nation.
We believe that those forces will be
discounted and routed on election

and those who advise the people to

WHILE in Hagerstown on Tuesday,
we took in the Republican demon
stration, and heard the excellent
speeches of Congressman Perkins,
McComas and others. They were
mighty speeches. The big Cumber-
land ball also took a roll, and if the
Democratic party ever gets beneath
it, it's existence will end in jelly. We
met Messrs. Seigman, Culbertson,
Adams, McComas, and others, and
had pleasant time. The Mail force
also extended courtesies to us. Mr..
Futterer is foreman in the office, and
a better man could not be found for
the position. Harry Cage, formerly
of the INDEPENDENT office, is working
