IT is perhaps unnecessary to again call
the public attention to the manner in
which the Populists are reforming things
The new party came into power in this
state less than two years ago. and there
has been pandemonium of investiga-
tions and explanations ever since. 1 here
has been a row in nearly every state in
stitution and the appointive officers have
been changed SO often that it has in
duced confusion. The Populists fought
nepotism and yet they have practiced it
more than any party ever did before
them. The state asylums have become
in two or three instances hotbeds of cru
city and the state-house a depot of dam
aging mistakes. The trouble with the
Populists is largely this: They have SO
much sympathy and pity for themselves
that they have none left for anyone else.

So MUCH has been said about Kansas
and reform that there was nothing sur
prising in the announcement that this
state will be made the battle ground of
the equal suffragists this year. Kansas
knows good thing when she sees it
and while it is not denied that she has
made mistakes in her choice of reforms
at times it is safe to say she will do the
right thing about the suffrage matter.
Municipal suffrage in Kansas has not
been failure and many towns are better
now than they ever were before its adj
vent Kansas possesses a multitude of
level headed, intelligent women who are
as able to vote profitably as their lords.

The Russian government has at last
begun to build the great Siberian rail-
way which has been under consideration
for so long period The road will be
some 8, 900 miles in length, extending
from Cheliabinsk in the west to Vladi-
vostok in the east. Its cost is estimated
at $27O, 900, 600, and it is hoped that
the entire line will be in operation by
the year 1900. 1t is not expected that it
will pay expenses for long time, but il
is an investment by the government for
economic, industrial and military pur-
poses whose supreme Importance cam
not be overlooked
The chief purpose, of course, which the
Russian government has in view in
building this great railway across ST.

clear from the fact that when the line
is completed Russia will not only noni-
nally but actually occupy that position

from European Russia to the east of

A DISASTROUS HABIT.
The Use of Morphine Increasing In New
York and Brooklyn.
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
BROOKLYN, April 26.-It is we'll
known to the medical fraternity, if not
to others, that the morphine habit is
more speedily destructive to the vital
powers and the intellect than the ex-
cessive use of alcohol. Physicians are
largely responsible for the excessive use
of this drug by their unwise prescrip-
lions. The Woman's Christian Temper
ance union of this city has recently
made the startling discovery that the
girls in the stores and factories of
Brooklyn and New York have become
addicted to the use of morphine.
How the habit spread it is not diff
cult to discover. One girl got to using
it through medical advice and chung to
the habit after the need was past. The
drug gave her a temporary vim and
force, like alcohol, with what is describ-
ed as "a soothing, dreamy feeling,
and she recommended it to her com
panions and taught them the use of the
hypodermic needle.
Mrs. Louis Vanderhoef, the presi-
dent of the union, from whom / learn
these startling facts, has recently given
a great deal of time and care to the
study of the spread of this habit, which
is as much worse than alcoholic inebrie-
ty as drunkenness is worse than the use
of mild tobacco. The practice has spread
within the past year with rapidity
that is frightful, and once contracted it
is excruciating torture to be deprived
of the drug.
Mrs Vanderhoef says she has discov-
cred in some large establishments where
there are hundreds OF girls employed
the practice is to have one syringe to
floor which the girls take turns in us
q 4 49,
as is the narcotic Some of these girls
have become so confirmed in the use of
morphine that they use enough in one
day to kill dozen strong men,
ssYou can tell the morphine users at
once. - says Mrs Vanderhoef, ''by the
greenish pallor of their compilations,
and if they can be induced to bare their
arms the scars and pittings of the small
ulcers, caused by the syringe, can be
seen in all their stages.
The habit soon takes the form of one
of the most horrible nervous diseases.
It not only destroys the health of the
unfortunate and irresponsible victims,
but its most startling effect is to debase
the moral sense and render it almost inn
possible for them to tell the truth, par
ticularly when the use of the drug is
concerned.
The ladies of New York interested in
the welfare of working girls have been
stimulated to effort by what is being
done here, and the result, it is to be
hoped, will be to check the spread of
the evil, even if those who have con-
tracted the habit cannot be rescued 1t
is thought that if an investigation is
made it will be found that the vice, If
such it may be called, is not confined to
these two cities A r. G.
