THE JUICE OF THE POPPY.
Opium an innocent and Beneficial Sdm1-

innocent DeneQCI8k
liant When Used In MOderasioa.
One Of the most recent witnesses be-
fore the British royal commission on
the opium trade between India and
China, which is sitting in the house Of
lords, was Sir John 5trachey, who has
passed forty years of his life in various
official positions in India He said that
it had been proved to demonstration
that opium was not q terrible poison.
The vast majority Of those who con-
srmed opium consumed it in modera-
ton. and SO consumed there was no
stimulant that entered largely into the
consumption of the world that was
more innocent or beneficial. 1t was as
innocent az the wines Of France or
Italy were to the people Of those coun-
tries or as undoctored beer was to the
people of England or Germany. In
India there were $50, 00o, 900 inha bitants
and many countries. In some of these
countries the people have from time
lmmemorial consumed opium. But
these classes constituted numerically
an absolutely Insignificant proportion
sumption of opium was SO infinitesi-
mally small that he might say without
exaggeration that no opium question
existed at all.
1t was declared that the consump-
ton Of opium had been rapidly in
creasing, and had been fostered by the
British government. These statements
= aa fo1x
of population under British rule had
been enormous, but there was every
reason to believe that the consump
ton of opium in India under native
rule one hundred and fifty years ago
was greater than at present. 1t was
an indisputable fact that those who
consumed opium, especially the Raj
puts and Sikhs, were precisely the
finest races physically in India. There
was no more vigorous, manly, and
handsome race of men in the world
than the crack opium-using Sikh regi-
ments, among whom the practice was
universal People talked glibly with
out suppressing opium consumption in
India, but he would not like to see an

Rajputs of one of the innocent and
beneficial necessaries of their lives
Sir William Hunter mad said that such
a law could only be enforced in British
territories by bloodshed and arms,
while in native states it could not be
enforced at all.
With regard to the Chinese part of
the question, there could be no greater
delusion than to suppose that China
depended upon India for her supply of
opium. If no opium were exported
from India the consumption of China
would remain practically unchanged.
A single province of China produced
more opium than the whole Indian
empire. Whole provinces were covered
with the poppy, and the cultivation
went on increasing without interior
ence on the part Of the government OF
China. Even. therefore. if it were true
that the people of China were being
ruined by opium. the cessation of inn
ports from India would not diminish

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Should We stop to consider the great
good done by the newsboys. in the dis
semfnation OF general Information TO the
public. and the destitute condition Of many
home from which the little fellows
emerge. with the eager hope to earn a
few pennies to assist in supplying some
Of the needs of such an home. one could
hardly be so ungrateful as to return a
cross word. or rebuke them for their per-
sistency in trying to make sales; nor be SO
easily annoyed by their continued cries,
which is often the case. / admire the pluck
of small boy who has the ambition TO
cry for the sale Of his papers, several hours
each day. and often exposed to disagree
able weather. when at best he can realize
comparatively but a small sum for his
work. IL shows plainly that he has the
metal TO develop into a hustling business
man or professional. later on. Encourage
the newsboys wherever and whenever You
can, and should you not wish to buy, at
least refrain from returning anything but
kind word. which means a great deal to
the young beginner. Good will and success
to the newsboysi We can't DO without
them. Fresh news is to be highly appre-
ciated. and thanks to the urchin who
speedily delivers it.

cheap have left that famous house stranded
Its last ray OF prosperity was due three
years ago to the patronage OF the grand
dukes and duchesses who then hocked to
Paris and patronized II. But they have
since learned to go to other places. and
after languishing visibly II is about to close
its doors. The boulevards formerly were

Cable System Extension in New York.

The New York World says:
The Metropolitan Traction Company will
apply to tho commissioners OF public
works in a few days for permission to
begin opening streets for the purpose of
extending Its cable system. The proposed
extensions and connections are on a huge
scale and will materially change tho con-
ditions Of transit in this city. When fully
completed over twenty miles OF new road
will have been added to the roads now
owned by the company and the city will
be crossed east and west, north and south
by cable roads which win girdle Central
Park completely.
The plans and preparations of the COM
pany have all been made. with the cable
also considered as the motive power. but
should efficient electric storage batteries
or any other radical improvements be made
before the work on the new roads has pro-
crossed too far the probability Is that they
will be adopted.
The company expects to begin work this
summer and to have the roads in operation
much more quickly than the roadway
The preparations for the great cable
scheme were begun over q year ago and
have since then been steadily carried on
without any flourish Of trumpets.
