THE OPIUM HABIT.
A Vice That Changes Decent Persons Into
Liars and Thieves.

Liars and Thieves.
ut may surprise some people" said
leading druggist to me to-day, Ito
know that it is the practice of re-
spectacle druggists to sell laudanum
and morphine to people whom they
know to be confirmed opium-eaters
But there are two good reasons for
doing so. One is that it would be i'm
possible to keep them from obtaining
these drugs, in some way or other.
Another is that if we were able to
shut off their supply, and should
do so, it would inevitably kill
them. So that every druggist
has few customers who, he
knows, are killing themselves with
opium. and with the very opium he is
selling them, and yet he continues to
sell it to them. He never knows that
they are opium-eaters from their own
admissions, however. These poor
creatures are very sensitive about their
vice. and never confess it. They
always make some shallow and absurd
excuse for buying so much opium.
which never deceives any one. But
even after they find out that we know
that they are opium-eatcrS, they never
concede it, in any way. Ono
way that they betray themselves
is by lying and stealing. For it is
singular thing that. just as insanity
is always accompanied by lewdness. so
the opium habit is invariably accom-
panied by lying and stealing. We
have to wait on these poor people, and
we treat them kindly. but we keep a
very close watch on them, and never
let them get out of sight. for if we do
we are sure to miss some small article
when they are gone. can't say THAT
opium-eaters are becoming any more
numerous in Chicago, but the reason
may be that other similar vices are to
some extent taking the place of the
opium habit. Chicago journal.

MEN sometimes think their lot to be a
very hard one in this world, and even COM
plain against the providence of God as a
sort of cruelty to them. If these same per-
sons would thoughtfully study the mercies
with which God has crowned their days,
they would soon discover that they have
more mercies for which to thank Him than
evils of which to complain If they would
carefully examine what they call evils,
they would also see great many things In
this list that are evils only in appearance,
and are really ''mercies in disguise" Much
of the petulance of human nature with
Providence would be cured by such health

WHY THE SOUTH Is SOLID.
New York Post.

Malone is worse man than But
Ter, but Massachusetts republicans
who considered their state disgraced
by the elevation of Butler to It's
governorship condone, if they do not
commend, the attempt to saddle
Malone upon Virginia through the
prostitution of the civil service of
the United States in that common
wealth. There is not a Northern
republican state which would stand
such rule as Yarmouth gave Louis
lana and Clayton gave Arkansas in
the reconstruction era, and yet
Northern republicans do not pro-
test when republican administra-
ton turns over the patronage of
those states to these discredited pol
iticians. They even profess to won
der that Southern democrats of
character and property do not turn
republicans while the Mahones and
the Warmoths and the Claytons
personify republicanism in the
South.

ENFORCE THE LAWS,

Whenever abuses OF law are no.
ticeable, crimes are committed, and
criminals go free, UNPUBLISHED, the
laws are complained Of as inefficient.
This is superficial view of the
situation. The laws are amply
strong. The fault is not with the
laws, but with the men CHOSEN to
execute the laws. OF course there
may be weak points in the laws that
permit delays in the courts, to which
lawabiding men object. Yet these
are minor objections, and could be
readily corrected.
Whenever a law remains unen-
forced, the cause is directly trace
able to the failure of some official,
or officials, to perform faithfully a
duty required by the law giving
them authority.
All observing men know of crimes
committed that could have been
prevented if the officers of the law
had performed their full duty i'm
mediately previous. OF course this
condition is most noticeable in
cities, but the smaller towns. and
the rural districts are not exempt
from abuses of the law that would
not occur if the officers were at sll
times dilligent in the performance
of their duty.
AS much as officers are to blame at
all times, the full measure of censure
should not always fall upon them.
Citizens who are themselves law
abiding are not at all times as ready
as they should be to report viola
tions of law. Citizens who know
that the law has been violated, and
the guilty party, are often back
ward about testifying before grand
juries, and this writer has known
of instances where white men were
remarkably ''forgetfuP' when
questioned concerning a violation of
law OF which it was almost certain
they knew.
Then grand Jurors are not always
as strict as they should be in ap-
plyingsthe law to indictments plac-
ed their in hands. Then, traverse
jurors do not always render YER
diets in accordance with the law
and the testimony. Sympathy often
defeats justice.
All these things serve to license
crime, and the laws are blamed
when the fault actually rests upon
the officers, and in a measure upon
the people who elect the officers.
The laws are sufficient to check
crime and punish criminals, if they
are enforced as provided. Perry

"BLACK HEELS ON WHITE NECKs., ,,

That is what happened at Rome,
Ga, August 6, when blocks Of black
ignorance were marched to the polls
by few money-loving white men
to vote to put bar-rooms back on
the people Of Floyd county.
The leading daily papers of the
state have, with more or less reason,
condemned Mrs. Garfield for spill.
ing her hatred of ignorance on
southern society in midnight let
ter to friend and expressing her
desire to see 'black heels on white
necks," yet these same southern
patriotic, aOhite-men' s-country Jour
nails have for weeks previous to the
prohibition election aided, to the
best of .heir ability, few liquor
men, and men whose business is az
fected by the liquor traffic, to give
the negro. vote control and suprem-
acy in Floyd county. They ought
to apologize to Mrs. Garfield. She
only expressed a fanatical wish
about negro rule; they have put
negro rule in force. For every in
telhgent man in Georgia knows that
the intelligent white vote in Floyd
county is Cor prohibition and the
majority against it was only OBJ
tanned by making the negro vote.
These journals and leading liquor
men may protest as loudly as they
please and blazen abroad their pro-
fessed desire for a white mans
government, but so long as they
use the negroes to defeat the will
of the white people in the matter Of
bar-rooms, they must bear the
ignominy and shame of actually
leading in the movement to put the
negroes OH top. If ignorance and
beastiality are to rule at all, it is
thousand times less hurtful for it to
rule in political and general cleo
tons than in city, county and state
affairs. esleyan Christian AL

SERVING EIGHTEEN YEARS In PRIS-
On FOR KILLING A MAN WHO
Is STILL ALIVE.

Eighteen years ago George Green
and Henry smith, farmers, living
in Colbert county, Ala, had fight
and Green shot Smith. The wound
was not considered dangerous at
first, but Smith recovered very
slowly. Finally he moved out of
the county with his family, and
few months later his wife snd son
came back and reported that Smith
had died from the effect of the
wound. They went before the grand
jury and had Green indicted for
murder. lie was tried, convicted,
and sentenced to lite Imprisonment.
For several years Green has been
confined at the Pratt coal mines,
near Birmingham. Some time ago
his wife heard that Smith was still
alive. Green succeeded in interest
ing a member of the State Board of
Prison Inspectors in his case. The
Inspector went to work and soon
found Smith at Dallas, Ga, where
he has lived for several years. AS
soon as the legal formalities are
complied with, Green will be re-
leased from prison.
