CHINA AND OPIUM CULT
VATION.

The Emperor of China has issued
proclamation legalizing the cult
walton of opium in that country.
This may be taken as practical
admission of the hopelessness of
attempting to combat the existence
of the opium habit under the pres
emit condition of forced commerce
in the drug. The opium habit has
existed in China for at least two
and half centuries. A little over
hundred years ago the Chinese
government first recognized it's
pernicious character by an edict
absolutely forbldding the use of the
drug. 1t still continued to be used,
however; but from that time on the
Chinese emperors seem to have
honestly used every effort in their
power to suppress the habit. In
1912, at the close of the war with
England, treaty was entered into
by which opium was allowed to
enter Chinese ports from India.
Since the treaty has been in exist
ence, laws have been enacted in
China against the home cultivation
of the plant, and even the penalty
of death has been inflicted for their
violation, but in face of the con-
tinued enormous legalized importa-
ton from India, these laws have
been practically of no avail; today
it IS estimated that out of Chinas
four hundred millions of population
one hundred and fifty millions are
addicted to the smoking of opium.
It is evident that the Chinese gov
eminent has decided that it would
better profit by the home cultiva-
ton Of the plant than to longer pay
enormous sums into the Golfers of
British India. What effect this
action will have on Indian finances
it is impossible now to predict with
certainty, but Great Britain most
certainly cannot expect to receive
the slightest sympathy from civil
lized nations for any loss she may
sustain in this matter.

LAST evenings Bulletin makes
another of it's frequent false state
ments when it charges the late
Ministry with "leaving the town
in darkness by the interruption
of the electric light, which occurred
on Thursday night. The cause of
the accident was the breakage of
one OF the water pipes which sup
piled the power driving the dyna-
mo. These pipes were ordered
by the Bush Ministry in 1882 or 3,
and the late Ministry were in no
way responsible for them. As soon
as the rotten pipe was mended
the electric light was all right.

THE SWISS REVOLT.


By the last mail there were ru-
mors of revolt in the Swiss pro
vince of Ticino. At times the tele
grams announced that battle was
imminent, and then that peace was
arranged. 1t seems, however, that
neither of these things have hap
pened. There is just a turbulent
uprising which has not yet evolved
into anything. Singularly enough,
although the affair had been going
on for week there was no ex-

trouble. The province of Ticino is

ana sJauncn upnolder OF Presbyterian
ism. Two years ago, when the northern
and southern Presbyterians met in Phil
adelphia for celebration of the centen-
NAL Of Presbyterianism, Congressman
Breckenridge delivered one of the most
interesting and loyal addresses.
Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, is the
son of Methodist preacher, who COM
bined, as have many other men in the
south, the legal and ministerial profess
sions. Senator Colquitt is an ardent
Methodist, and can be counted on to ia
vor the right rather than party interests
where the two clash.
The father of Senator Joseph R. Haw-
ley, of Connecticut, was the Rev. Fran
els Hawley, a Baptist clergyman and an
active anti-slavery orator. Senator
Hawley has always been regarded as one
of the ablest and most upright of poll
ticians, and as an editor and senator has
always defended good morals. He is
Congregationalist.
When President Harrison appointed
David J. Brewer, Of Kansas, associate
justice of the supreme court of the
United States he selected a clergyman's
son. Justice Brewer is the son of the
Rev. Josiah Brewer, who was one Of the
first volunteers of the A. B. G. F. NJ. for
the missionary field. Leaving the hills
of Massachusetts Mr.. Brewer went out
to Smyrna Asia Minor, in 1880, and it
was therA---oO missionary cround-tbat
the son David was born.
When Justice Brewer had taken the
oath Of Office and donned the official
robes he received no heartier welcome
from any Of his colleagues than was
given him by his uncle, the Hon. Stephen
j. Field, Of California, another supreme
court judge who is clergyman's son.
Judge Field is member Of that re-
markable quartet of brothers Of which

timent intended to be expressed, viz,
that clergymen's sons and deacons'
daughters are as prone to go to the bad
as sparks are to fly upward.
Repeatedly has the injustice of this
sentiment been proved. Clergymen's
sons are not more prone to end in de-
struction and bring disgrace and shame
upon their parents than are the sons Of
other professional men. Nevertheless
it occasionally seems necessary to call
attention to the large number Of men
prominent in literary, political and pro-
fessional ~ who were reared in clergy
mems homes, amid surroundings that
were restraining and helpful
Richard Watson Glider, editor of The
Century, and one of our finest poets, is
the son of a Methodist preacher-Will-
lam Henry Gilder-who preached in and
about Philadelphia, edited several short
lived literary magazines, and during the
latter part Of his life conducted educa-
tional institutions in Bordentown, N. j.,
and Flushing, L. l. What tho father
failed to do in Philadelphia the son has
done. a generation later, in New York
But it is quite possible that if the father
had had the mechanical and Topographic
Ual work on his periodicals done by the
same man who does the work for The
Century he might not have failed.
Mr.. Theodore De Winnie, who prints The
Century and st. Nicholas, is the son Of
@ Methodist preacher well known in
Louisiana and Mississippi, not only as a
preacher but as an author.
But few Of the admirers of Henry
James, the novelist, know that his father
was a theolOgian who, after leaving
Princeton Theological seminary because
of doctrinal differences, became a mem
Der of the Sandemanian sect and finally,
in the main, adopted the views Of Sweden
borg. His most intimate friends in this
country were the Transcendentalists of
New England, and in England he en-
loyed the friendship Of Carlyle. Twas

such a man. with such bent of mind,
who reared the clever author Of DAISY
Miller and the numerous other Inter
national" novels which have made the
name of Henry James famous.
There are no names in American liter
allure that stand higher than those Of
George Bancroft, Oliver Wendell Holmes
and James Russell Lowell They are
all clergymen's sons. Bancroft several
years ago wrote: Being more than four
score years old l know the time for my
release will soon come. Conscious of
being near the shore of eternity, i await
without impotence and without dread
the beckoning of the hand which viii
summon me to rest"
Turning from literature to politics, it
will be remembered that ex-President
Grover Cleveland is the son of the Rev.
Richard r. Cleveland, and was born in
the Presbyterian parsonage in Caldwell,
n. J., and was named after another Pres
byterian clergyman, the Rev. Stephen
Grover Mr.. Cleyeland's predecessor,
Chester A. Arthur, was the son of a Bap-
fist clergyman.
The present vice president Of the
United States is the son of Rev. Daniel
.. Morton and Lucretia Parsons, who
lived up among the hills of Vermont, and
on the savings Of a meager salary en-
deavored to send their son Levi to Mid
dlebury college. When partially through
his course he was obliged to enter COM
mercial life.
There are but few names better known
in southern Presbyterianism than that
Of breckenridge. No name is more hon

of the most eloquent and able of south

David Dudley, the jurist; Cyrus W., the
protector and capitalist, and Henry W.,
the editor and traveller, are the other
members.
Their father was the Rev. David Dud-
ley Field, of Haddam, Conn, and
Stockbridge, Mass, who was a typical
New England divine. The son, David
Dudley Field, is the man of whom an
English chancellor has said, "He has
done more for the reform of laws than
any other man living" His work, 1.-THE
Outlines Of an international Code" has
been translated into French, Italian and
Chinese, and the author has a rank
among jurists unsurpassed by any in the
land.
Justice Stephen J. Field is one of the
ablest and oldest members of that court,
which in dignity and power has no peer
among the tribunals of the world.
Cyrus w. Field will go down to his
tory as the man whose foresight and
courage made the first Atlantic cable a

Only young women with large incomes
can afford to ride in New York, for it
costs, oh, how it costs! There is only one
pleasure more expensive, and that is the
delight Of cruising in ones own steam
yacht.
In the first place our would-be equestri.
enne must buy herself an eminently cor
rect habit of the very latest cut, and she
must make up her mind to pay whatever
outrageous price is asked for it. This is
seldom less than 800. If she doesn't wear
trousers under her narrow skirt land these,
by the way, are losing popularity she
must use heavy worsted tights in their
stead, which cost SO or SIS more. Piquant
riding boots of russell leather are not less
than s1S or $50. A boneless, leather corset
to support without COMPRISING her figure
sends the bill SO higher. And her pet hat,
an Insignificant, shiny little thing, but en-
inently becoming, takes another S15. Be
sides these things there are many minor
expenses, for pretty, ivory handled crop,
dogskin gloves, leather straps, etc.
Few girls own their own horses. They
pay about $3.50 per lesson when learning,
about the same price for horse and two
hours ride through the park, and an addi-
tional 81. so for the escort of a riding master.
We will suppose that our genuinely
"swagger" girl has dressed herself for the
first time in the habit and all the ct c8te-
ras mentioned, and is ready for her first
ride in one of the half dozen riding schools
on the outskirts of the park. She has left
her natty street gown hanging in bare
box of a room up stairs, and now trips
down to the ring, which is circular path
covered with tan bark, high glass roof
adFitting the sunlight Here she finds
school horse, generally very bony,
awkward and utterly ENJOYABLE animal,
awaiting her. A riding master poses be-
side it. He is foppishly attired man of
foreign appearance, with an accent and
mustache-always a mustache If he is a
German, and usually blond one; an i'm
perial if he is Frenchman, which, Ivy the
way, gives his face wicked, Satanic cast,
considered rather attractive by the girls.
If you have never watched a young wOm-
an take her first lesson on horses back
you have missed something. The same
little scream which breaks from her when
she is bathing in the surf and an unex-
pected wave slaps her on the back becomes
one of the features of first riding lesson.
She gives the ghost Of a scream when the
suave riding master takes her little booted
foot in his palm TO teach her the spSng
into the saddle. She gives another when
she finds she can't possibly stay on and
the horse will insist on going. Then she is
sure to lose her stirrup, or the pommel
hurts her, or her skirt will not stay down,
