AN INCREASING VICE.

The somewhat surprising statement
is made by an Omaha paper, that there
are in that city, with somewhat more
than half the population of st. Paul,
some forty or more opium joints in con-
stant operation, and causing more de-
bauchery than the 270 saloons. Their
influence upon the victims is lmmeas-
urably more degrading and rulnous
than the inordlnate use of intoXicants.
1t is surprising that a city like the en-
terprising Nebraska one should have
allowed these denS of vileness to have
multiplied to such an extent. Men who
hold reputable positions in society are
not infrequent victims of this seductive
vice, and even frequenterS of these.
beastly resorts. There are women Wis
itors also, but imputations of respect
ability would necessarily be based upon
faded "reminiscences. Still, 1t is alleged
by those with the best means of infor-
nation, that women are more addicted to
opium than men. The consumers of
the drug in some of its forms have a
large majority of women. Men take stim-
ulants to animate and stir the system.
cut the webs out of the throat. and have
a lively time. On the other hand, women
take opium to be soothed and rested
after social or other agitations. Its use
among the fashionable and frivolous
is believed to be much greater in all the
cities than is suspected by those who
are not familiar with the sources Of
revenue of drug stores. 1t is mostly
used in the form of morphine. The
duty last year showed imports of 472,9 ,935
pounds, which was greatly in excess of
any former year. This does not include
the manipulated" opium, of which
there was 96,67S pounds last year.
against Co. 232 pounds two years before.
In the reformatory movements opium
does not often appear, although 1t is at
times the cause of ruin attributed to

will have no new province. No practi-
cal interest in them will be affected.
The people who want to take drink
are not going to give an increased sum
to pay the brewer for putting up pack
ages Of a single ration, or the dis
tillers to put whisky in bottles of
one dose. Only the few who take
their medicine on the Australian plan
would patroniZe this method. The man
with the license buys his goods by the
barrel. and he dispenses them in the
amount the tastes of individuals
call for. One wants a schooner and an
other pony of beer, and there is equal
diversity in the demands of those who
take more alcoholic doses. The cost is
all the same to the consumer, but
the margins for the seller are
materially different If the price of
the ration under both systems were the
same, the profit of the original package
man would be much less. High license
regions have no occasion to join with
prohibitionlsts in asking legislation
from congress to relieve any practical
disadvantage they experience from the
new version. The subject is too large
and varied to be pushed to a con-
clusiOn. Nor is it desirable to legislate
for a few localities or special phase
merely.
St. Paul daily globe., 1890-05-20
VERY MUCH ALIKE.

There is no room for defense of a
scheme like the Louisiana lottery. 1t
is only the greater menace and more
demoraIizing from the fact that it is
able to contribute largely to the public
treasury. But when the thing is put in
unlimited colors, there is good deal of
similarity in the operations of the lot
terry and a tariff built on what is called
protection. In some features the lot
terry has advantage in equity and morals.
1t may be conceded to give all its con-
tributors equal chances for enrichment.
Under the monopoly tariff the people
draw blanks, and the favored few stand
i'll the relation of the preferred stock
holders in the lottery. They take the
fat. There is no compulsion about the
lottery tickets. Persons can buy
them or not as they choose.
Not so with the tariff. That
comes with its enforced exactions to all.
There are no chances for the prizes.
They have all been apportioned in ad-
vance to the men who work the schemes.
The only divy is with the Republican
party. When any share goes to the
public treasury. it does not come out of
the profits of the managers, but is ex-
tracted from the unfortunate people
who cannot escape It's grasp. Those
who pay money into the channels of
this scheme, to foster its development,
are not On higher ethical plane than
the lottery owners who subsidize legis-
lators and voters. There are other
points of similarity, and room for many
claims for the Louisiana industry that
cannot be made for the prevalent effort
at Washington.
St. Paul daily globe., 1890-05-20
WHAT THE PACKAGE1s

There has been some question as to
the capacity of the original package as
applied to wet goods. 1t seems that
some six months or so ago the supreme
court of Iowa defined its meaning, and
it iSnot likely that any higher authority
will eonstrue it during the two years
that the prohibitorY act must remain on
the statute books in that state. The
opinion agrees we'll with the idea of the
minority members of the United States
supreme court, and may be regarded
as the highest Interpretation. The
original package in this is the immedi-
ate environment of the article, the bot
lie in which it was placed at the dis
tIllery or brewery, and not the boXin G
or case. OF course, the bottle can be of
any size. 1t may contain single drink
Of beer or whisky. This may be sold
by the receiver in any state, without
regard to local restraints upon the traf-
tic. This is the point from which the
Republican papers in Iowa and other
prohibition states urge the COM
mon interest of their state and the
license states. This is in view of the
bill introduced by the Iowa senator to
except liquors from the operation of
interstate commerce laws. Its imme-
diate passage is urged to relieve a gen.
eral difficulty. 1t Is assumed that ''orig-
inal package" shops will take the place
of licensed saloons in order to save the
license fee, and the license system will
share the disaster of prohibition. OF
course. the original package plan is the
only lawful one III the localities that re-
fuse to license, whether states or local
option counties or towns. Bnt in the
license localities the original packages

GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE.

Jay Gould's Jay Gould, it seems.
is very enthusiastic
Mexican Trip. about Mexico and its
resources, says the
New York Star. In recent interview,
he talked of the pleasures of his trip
along the Mexican Central railroad in
his private car. But another railroad
man whom have met gives me differ
ent impression Of the delights of travel
in the uncivilized interior of our sister
republic. Mr.. John Dougherty, the
gentleman in question, who is well
known in downtown railroad and
banking circles, lately made trip to
Mexico for the purpose of inspecting
projected line of railroad in the interest
Of some New York capitalists. He says
that in the course of long railroad ex-
perience he has sometimes had to put
up with poor fare and inferior accom-
m0datiOns, and is able, at a pinch, to
trough it.'' But even in the cities, an
alleged Mexican hotel is something to
remember as nightmare, while away
from the railroads such thing as
tavern is unknown. Eggs are about
the only item in Mexican bill of fare
that an American can feel sure of. Mr..
Dougherty thinks that the most urgent
need for Mexico is better ideas on the
subject of hotels and accommodation
for travellers.
Another Mexican story occurs to me,
which was told me by Texas dry
goods merchant. 1t seems that noted
bandit. Cortina, had been the terror of
Northern Mexico for years. Failing to
subdue him, the Mexican government
made him major general in the army,
and put him in charge of the Rio
Grande border. He was furnished with
full staff and headquarters force and
started out in full enjoyment of his dig
nifty. At the end of his first month of
his service his military secretary
brought the pay roll for his approval.
1t was headed by the name of Maj.
Gen. Cortina and continued with the
names and pay of the other members of
his military family. and ending up with
the fetal for the entire amount to be
disbursed. Cortina examined the docu--
ment carefully and laboriously. But
reaching the end, he burst into an eX-
preston of wrath, drew his revolver
and held it at the terrified secretarv's
head, Shrieking with rage. ''Villain!
What is this? Who is this Total who
receives more than Cortina?"

HONEsTY's THE BEST POLICY

Are stolen kisses sweetest? So the adaee
Quoted SO oft, would teach us to believe
And headstrong, kiss -purloining youths a
bad age
For any to deceive.
And get / think the doctrine is pernIcious
That ranks q labial theft's surprise and
Slips,
And necessary haste. with the delicious
Tribute of willing lips
The unripe, wind-fall peach in al its green
ness,
Ranks not with fruit grown mellow in the
sun
a kiss, quick -snatched, has all niggard,s S
meanneSs,
The joys confined to one
A kiss should mark pause-no semi i-colon,
But strong period: set to emphasize;
Nor can you linger Ger booty stolen
AS DER lawful prize.
The truant child may steal piece of sugar,
md fnd it passing sweet, but would he
not.
If his theft were excused by the onlcoker.
Remain and eat the lot?
So. if the kiss be yielded by the willing,
Like the chIld's sugar, IL is just as sweet
And far more plenty-just as rich and thrill
ing
And ten times more complete.
These are my theories ON osculation:
Let others steal their tiny tastes of heaven.
And, thief like, gam their kiss by deureda-
tiolt-
I'll wait till mine is given.

The Speech Will stand.

Boston Herald.
A contemporary consoles itself with
the assertion that, Notwithstanding
Congressman Butterworth's brave
words upon the tariff, he will vote for
the Mckinley bill. 1t may be that he
will stultify himself by such course.
though we do not look upon it as at all
probable. But he cannot blot out his
speech. That will stand as the real SEN
tIment of the man. The after act will
have significance only as an Illustration
of poor human nature under political
pressure. The speech will stand, too,
as a monument of the truth. Men may
come and men may go, but such ex-
amples of courageous truth-speaking
endure and always put to shame the
acts of temporizers.
