The DeadIiness of Absinthe.

The fundamental principle of absinthe
is a resinous substance derived from
NORWOOD. This resin, with a number
of essences made from aromatic plants,
constitutes the famous French drink
which is so poisonous that tablespoon
full in pure state is almost certain to
cause commissions to an inexperienced
drinker. 1t is believed by physicians
that the brain disease which absinthe
produces is absolutely incurable, for the
substance of the brain is changed by the
poison, and after the absinthe drinker
has accustomed himself to his daily dose
fatal termination is matter of no
long time.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A West Virginia Force Bill.

A correspondent of the Petersburg
Gazette reports Governor FLEMING as stating
that as late as 1868 the Republicans
had force bill IN operation in West Vir-
gina. 1t was State law, under which
Federal soldiers were made to surround
the ballot-boxes and Democratic voters
were driven away and not permitted to
exercise the right of suffrage. The execu-
ton of such law by such gang of loaf
ers and vagabonds as were sometimes
called into requisition In West Virginia to
aid the Republican party to carry even the
State elections was infinitely worse than
the execution of congressional force bill
would be under proper officials.
There was a time since the war closed
when nobody could vote in West Virginia
who refused to take the iron-clad oath.
Nay. there was time since the close of
the war when no lawyer was allowed to
practice his profession who could not take
that oath--an oath that he himself not
only had not engaged In rebellion, but had
not given aid and comfort TO any rebel of
any sort OF under any circumstances.
But West Virginia is now free. Her own
sons rule the soil. The congressional
force bill Will only serve to remind them
of their own infamous law. There is no
danger that she will forget her wrongs.

quenco that we should be justified In
spending o considerable sum In making an

for oil the probability Of getting supply
Of pure water by penetrating the granite

on the other hand, should II prove to DO

water-Meters and Artesian wells.

So il seems that business enterprise as
we'll as the convenience and comfort of
housekeepers 10 suffering 10y reason of the
inadequate" supply of water here.
The supply would not be inadequate If
economy were exercised in the use of 1t,
but with the present prodigal waste il is
becoming more and more embarrassing as
the city grows in territory and popula-
ton.
It has come to this-we must either have
meters In general use, or go to great ex-
pense to increase our pumping and reser-
voir capacity. Some years ago each in
habitant Of Richmond required but forty
gallons of water per day. now l60are used
or rather wasted for the most part.
Our works have cost US $4,000, 900, and
they are sufficient for a city of our popula-
ton, bu. they are not sufficient to justify
any such waste as is practiced here, and
which is almost without parallel in any
city in this country.
We know that water-meters are not popu-
lar, but they are necessary, unless We stand
prepared TO expend hundreds of Thousands
Of dollars to increase our water supply.
To make any such expenditure at this
time, when the City Hall is unfinished,
aud when we are still unable TO form any
accurate conception Of what the SUN total
cost Is 10 be, would DO reckless under
taking.
Thoughtful citizens. at least, will realize
that 1t will be better policy for us to adopt
the meter system than TO burden ourselves
with an additional corporation debt at this
time.
One Of the great hsrdships OF the present
wasteful system is that people living at
many points IN the city not only do not
pay for the water which despite the law
they run out Of their pipes, bat by so
doing take water from elevated local.

Undesirable Immigrants.

Mr.. CLEVELAND correctly sets forth the
true American doctrine with respect to I'M
desirable immigrants.
This country should ever be a haven OF
refuge for the worthy people OF all lands
who may desire TO make their homes with
us; but there is no reason why we should
not open our ports 10 them and shut them
against the unworthy.
Our hospitable sentiment has been too
often imposed upon, and now there should
be, as Mr.. CLEVELAND urges, reasonable
regulations for the protection OF the pub
lio health" and q restriction put upon
1.-The reception Of immigrants who have
no appreciation of our institutions and
whose presence among US is menace to
peace and good order"
IT is dIsgraceful that we should have al
lowed America to become "Europe's
dumping-ground." That this is fact can
be established by ample evidence. Ii Is
clearly shown by the reports of the CON-
missioners sent to Europe last year by the
Treasury Department, and who found in
several countries societies (some of them
Differed by members of royal faInilies)
organized TO send criminals and paupers
to tie United States. These societies,
helped by tho greed OF the steamship
companies and labor importers, have been
the means Of Kidding Europe OF many OBJ
jectionable persons-persons who left
their country for their country's good"
The evil is apparent, but remedy cannot
be easily devised. In this country, in one
sense. we are all foreigners for if we
were born here our ancestors few gene
rations back were not-and we should
never deny TO others the blessings which
our forefathers found upon these shores.
II is subject worthy of the profound
study which Mr.. CLEVELAND Is capable of
giving it. In the solution of it we shall
doubtless have TO call to our assistance
representative citizens who were born IN
other lands and who have disting uished
themselves for devotion 10 their adopted
country; men who know the arttul devices
of the immigration agent and who can say
where the line ought to be drawn, and who
appreciate the fact that the undesirable
immigrant is as much nuisance to the
adopted citizen" as to 1.-The natiye-born
citizen" of this country.

The Citv Indicted.

The indictment by the grand jury of
the Hastings Court OF the city of Rich
mond for allowing nuisances on its proper
ty and in public places which it is its
duty to keep clean will raise some inter
esting questions.
The city ought not to need any such
prodding as this. but as il is remiss in its
duty it Is but right that it should be
brought to bar, just as citizen would be.
We trust, however, that the City Council
will prefer to abste the nuisances COM
planned OF rather than make fight on
technical points in the courts. 1t should
set all of its citizens shining example Of
promptness and ready scquiescenoe In sani-
tary requisites.
Our community is in the enjoyment of
excellent health. At no similar season
were we ever freer from disease than we
are now, and it should be our >ieet TO
maintain this happy condition. 70 such
end the city should cheerfully do its duty
and then see that its citizens do theirs.

Not to Be Caught.

Mr.. CLEVELAND devoted six times as much
of his late letter to tariff reform as to the
force bill. The New York Sun explains
this fact by saying that theologans have
devoted ten times as much literature TO
minor points in controversy as to the SIM
pie and essential truths which all good
Christians hold IN common; and that it is
not the universally -recognized principles
of right and equity that fill the books of
the great writers on Jurisprudence.

catches it mapping. All the same the Sun
would have preferred to have little more

hesitation or interruption, save the frequent ap-

all who heard 1t the greatest speech they had

Mr. Henry was the guest OF the Democratic
club while here, and expressed himself highly

club escorted Mr.. Henry TO the depot, and as the
train pulled out they sent up three rousinR
