Democracy claims that the present

is not true. Tie marvellous devel.

Democratic opposition, and has grown
from conditions. which resulted from
Republican legislation, State and

punished by the death of his wife and

saved"

Wethern is not false ons, and much
may grow out Of it. Sheriff Ralston, Of
Pierce county Wis, is the official who
had him in charge, and it does not seem
to be an attempt by his friends to pro-
tect his life.
Henry Hill, Of Diamond Bluff, which
place is the home of Capt. Wethern, was
in this city Wednesday night. He says
he left home at 2:45 O'clock Wednesday
afternoon. previous to which time Sher-
if R;ti,ton had gone to st. Paul with
Capt. Wethern. who WAS under arrest
at the instance Of United States officials.
Other sources of information tend to
confirm the statement that United
States officials are connected with the
case, and that if there has been any neg
ligence or mi management in connection
with the disaster the guilty persons will
be made to suffer the full penalty.

REPUBLICAN A DDRESS,

Democrats Refuse a Joint Dis

AFRAID Or FREE DISCUSSION.
Rooms Republican State Executive
Committee, Montgomery, Ala, July 8, 1890.
To the People Of Alabama:
In compliance with a resolution of
the Republican State Executive
Committee, passed at its meeting in
Birmingham, Ala, on the 18th of
June last ! herewith give in connec-
ton with this address the names of
the Republican State ticket, the
platform of the Republican party Of
this State, the letter of Hon. Ben. M.

nomination for Governor, alss my
letter requesting joint discussion Of
the political issues involved in this
campaign between the Republican
and Democratic nominees Tor Cover
nor, and the resolution of Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee,
declining the proposition Of joint
canvass.
These several papers which accom-
pany this address should be carefully
read and considered by the people.
No party is worthy of popular conf
dence or support, that fears and de-
cllnes joint discussion of the politi
cal issues of the day, which vitality
effect the welfare Of the people, or
the progress of the country. The
people are entitled to hear both sides,
and they should demand full ac~
count of the stewardship of that par
ty which has SO long controlled the
State. The Republican State ticket
is worthy of your confidence and
support. It's composed Of men in
all respects the peers of their Demo-
cratic opponents to the manor
bOrn-or long residents Of the State,
fully identified with the people and
State. The names upon the ticket
give assurance that every interest
has been guarded, and every class
will find a friend.
When Democracy declined a joint
discussion before the people of the
issues Of a State campaign, itexpres>
ed q fear Of the people, a dread Of
investigation, and a full denial of all
charges it makas against the Repub-
Icon party. Hitherto Democracy
has maintained its ascendency by a
suppression of free and full discus
sion, and stocked conventions, and by
frauds upon the ballot-box. In 1861
this policy plunged the county into
unsuccessful war, and desoluted the
whole South by blunders worse than
crimes. Democracy then, as now
suppressed, all freedom of thought
and Of speech, refused to allow an
expression of the people upon the
question of secession. so now it stiles
the will of the majority, and substi.
tutes there for the rule Of the few,
How can this arbitrary, autocratic
policy now prove less disastrous than
it did in the pAst2

HARVESTING OPIUM.
How the Poppy is Gathered and the
Drug Prepared.
From the Leeds Mercuru

From the Leeds Mercury
Mr.. Hosie, the British consul at Wen
chow, in his late report. contrasting the
methods of harvesting the poppy prevail
ing in Western and Eastern China, says
that if the cultivators of the poppy in the
east were as skilled in the art of collecting
the juice as their countrymen in Western
China it is all but certain that the foreign
import would be very small indeed. In
Western China the capsules are sacrificed
by means of a parallel row of knife points
projecting from one OF the ends of a short
wooden handle. The missions, which
are exceedingly fine, are made in the even
Ing, and the juice, exuding slowly, is har--
vested in the morning before sunrise. There
is no waste. In the eastern provinces, on
the other hand, an instrument reseln bling a
small carpenters plane is employed The
operator passes the plane over the capsule
leaving the shaving of the skin attached to
its lower end. The juice Immediately ex-
udes from the capsule, and although the
collector follows closely on the heals of the
operator, it flows so fast that mu Oh Of it
drops on the leaves of the stem and is lost
AS an example of the manner in which ua-
tive, as compared WITH Indian, opium is
consumed IN his district, Mr.. Hosle men,
tions that a refuge for the cure of opium
smokers was opened by missionary in the
city of Wenchow during the past year,
and that out of many scores of applicants
for admission only one smoker Of
Indian opium presented himself, and he has
ascertained from parties well qualified to
judge, that not more than per cent. of
smokers consume the foreign drug. With a
view to insure the full payment of lilsin or
inland transit dues on native opium. regula-
| tions were, with the sanction of the high
provincial authorities promulgated pre-
vious to the harvesting of last years crop
by the ikin officers. They enjoined intend
ing purchasers before proceeding to the
country districts to report at the offices the
quantities they proposed to purchase. and to
take out passes, which, with the opium. had
to be presented at the barriers and st Itions
for examination. Opium not covered by
passes was to be confscated and the carriers
punished. But, owing to the ease with
which the drug can be concealed and
struggled. the regulations have not been
generally respected.
