A INDUSTRIOUS EVIL

The recent death of the eminent Sci
enlist, Prof. TYndall. from an overdose
of choral, taken to relieve pain, draws
attention anew to the increasing use of
that and kindred drugs, and the dan
gers which their employment involves.
Scarcely day passes that some death
is not recorded from the same cause
an overdose OF chloral, morphine, laud-
anum or opium taken as remedy for
pain, or nervousness, or insomnia. Not
infrequently the fatal dose is taken by
direction of physicians, though in most
cases it is self-administered.
But death is not the worst result of
the use of these poisonous drugs. Our
asylums are filled with ravlng ma
Macs, or helpless, hopeless imbeciles,
made so by the use of soporific Or
eXcitant drugs. In nine cases out of
ten the medical fraternity are response
BILE for these miserable wrecks of hui
mainly. When physician is called to
attend case of illness of which acute
pain is one of the symptoms, his first
recourse is to the morphine bottle. A
dose or two of the drug deadens the
sensibilities of the nerve centers,
and the patient feels relieved
thinks himself cured, and praises the
skill Of the physician. That function
airy, if he is capable Of knowing any
thing, knows that his potions have not
cured. but simply deadened the sense of
pain; that the disease that produced the
pain is still actively at work in the sys-
tenn, and that it will soon reappear un-
less nature, recovering its forces, shall
succeed in throwing it off. Each recur-
ring attack is treated in the same man
ner, in ever-increasing doses. The system
becomes debilitated and demands the
eXcitation or the soothing effects of the
drug constantly, and before one is aware
of the fact the morphine habit has be-
come firmly fixed. and the subject en-
dures torments and ecstasies by turns
until he learns to look forward to death
as a welcome release from his misery,
and not infreQuently swallows killing
dose. The physician who created the
habit and the druggist who supplied his

the prophetic faculty to predict the
end? Excess, extravagant expenditure,
brutality, neglect on his part. On hers,
tears, protests, angry animadversIon,
disesteem, and finally indifference
and worse. Sle may plead Justification
for any crime toward her beast of
husband. and be pardoned by all indul-
gent world for all martial transgres-
Sions.
The question is, do the fond parents of
the young lady honestly desire their
! daughters happiness? Probably they
never stop to think about that. Fate has
given them wealth. What can they buy
with 1T of greater value than family dis
tinction for their daughter? 1t makes
Jenkins shout when the offspring of a
wealthy nobody marries d coronet. Is
there any stronger motive to move the
heart-of snob than the certainty that
he Is giving real cause for some other
Snob to envy him?
Let US hope that better spirit will
some time take possession of those
American fathers and mothers whom
fate and fortune make rich. Let Us
hope that the fact will some time david
upon them that marriage without love
is at best only legalized prostitution,s
and that they will profit by their own
personal experience to learn that to be-
an honored wife, and the loving mother
of sturdy flock of American children
sired by an American man, is wiser,
more honest and altogether better than
to be even the pampered toy of titled
adventnrer, whose '.blood" and "family
name" give him license to squander the
wealth that he has not the capacity to
earn, and confer upon him the privilege
of being beast to the wife he has
traded for.
Even the light of honest affection
sometimes proves to be the ignis fat
Jus leading into the swamps of self
lshness and the morass of neglect. The
actual love of an honest and trusting
young pair may be killed by poverty and
misfortune, or perverted by yielding to
lawless appetite. But there is always
hope for that man and that woman who
have once been joined by sincere devo-
ton to each other. Love will not make
the home or earn bread. but it will put
marrow into the bone and strength into
the muscle which can and does earn
everything. And without love-the love
of wife, husband, father, mother and
children-what is life, anyhow?
In any event, if you must go into the
market and traffic in Inatrimony, do not
be so foolish, so imDecile. so uncon-
sc 'usly idiotic as to swap sweet,
W olesOme, rosy checked American
maiden for an English duke who is
blase; French marquis with dozen
mistresses; an Italian count with a
mnstache. or Russian prince who gets
drunk on vodka and owns.mineS in tn e
Ural mountains-giving some millions
of good American money to boot. Give
your girl chance for happiness. Let
her draw in the American lottery with
her heart for witness. Then if she
catches an adventurer or brute it will
be by accident-and Sioux Falls and
Bismarck are always convenient for
partial rectification of unfortunate mis-
takes.

appetite both swear at the inquest that
he was "inorphIne fiend;;n and ''diea
from an overdose of morphine" or
opium, or laudanum, or chloral, or what
ever form the habit assumed, is the YER
dict Of the coroner's jury.
The extent CT the practice of using
narcotic drugs is known to but few. If
appreciated. it would be appalling.
Druggists have some conception of the
extent of the CONSUMPTION. They sell
it in its various forms on physicians
prescriptions, and they sell it igno-
rantly in score Of DISCUSSES. Many of
the patent medicines that have the
widest sale contain large quantities of
morphine, and, some of them being
compounded by inexperienced and ig-
norant men, the drug is often present
in dangerous proportions. All nerve
tonics contain some fatal drug; cough
medicines frequently contain it, and
other proprietary remedies for specific
diseases are largely composed of it.
Cigarettes contain opium, yalerian,
atropia and other equally death-pro-
ducing and Misunderstanding prepare
tons, and this is the reason that the
cigarette habit, once formed, can sell
dom be overcome. and results in so
much insanity and idiocy. All prepa-
ratlons for the complexion contain ar
senic, and, whether applied externally
or taken internally, create a passion for
indulgence that ultimately leads to
death. The drug. that makes fair
ones eyes sparkle with the briliiancy OF
stars to fascinate-perhaps to madden
the opposite sex, is the product Of the
deadly nlghtshade; and mental and
physical wreck, frequently accompanied
by moral delinquency, are the newt
able results or their continued use.
The cupidity OF compounders of So
called "patent medicines" is RESPONSE
BILE for much of the misery of the COM
munity. And next, our physicians
must be blamed for creating appetites
that they ought to know are destructive
and pernicious. Nine-tenths of those
who are addicted to the morphine habit
acquired taste for it through following
the prescriptions OF their physicians.
Some OF these may be unconscious Of
the fact that they are kindling fire
that no power on earth eau eXtinguish-
fire that will destroy both the body
and the soul. Others are too indolent to
seek the seat OF the disease and TO there
apply the proper remedy,a and administer
sedativcs or tOnicS That produce tempo
rary relief from pain, relying upon nat
ure to cure the disease. Whatever the
cause may be, the culpability remains.
The public is becoming alarmed. Men
and women are dropping off by scores
as result of the laundering of those
who have seduced them into habits that
become fastened upon them with grip
stronger than manacles OF steel. Already
The United States consumes more opium
than any other nation in the world, and
the demand is increasing faster than the
supply. Legislation Oh the subject
would be powerless. Only an enlighIen-
inent of the moral perceptions of the
community, and of the medical profess
sion in particular, can check the growth
Of an evil that is worse than human
slavery and the liquor traffic combined,
and that threatens the manhood and
the wOmanhood of the nation.

for the landing of the plum.
The friends of Gates A. Johnson
claim that Johnson has qualification
for the place owing to his past eXper-
fence in the office. j. G. MacCarthy's
strongest hold for election is that he
was discharged from his position by
Building Inspector Morris solely on ac-
count of his being a Republican. Mr..
Morris is not saying word, but is I'M
doubtedlY doing what he can to secure
reelection. MeSsrS. lie and Gauger
are making no claims. but their friends
talk of deadlock and dark horS es, and
say stranger things have happened than
the possibility OF either being elected.

be the withdrawal of large amount of

having been discovered in hiding in one

police officials from the Rondo street
station arrived the burglar had skipped.
and a careful search of the house did

covered by the nine-year-old son
of Mr.. Schuneman, who went to
closet to hang up his clothes.
The family was away from home, and
the lad and a domestic were the only
ones in the house. The lad describes
the thief as short and stout, with black
mask on his face and a revolver in his
hand. The police are skeptical about
the boys story, and say 1t was impossi-
Bile for the burglar to leave the house
without going up the chimney, as when
they arrived all the doors and windows
were locked. The theory advanced by
