discussion of his views and aims. He
knows that the less he is heard Of the
more he can do
The boss is the last outcome of the
spoils system. His growth begins as a
small dealer in ward offices. In the
great cities he finds a congenial at
mospheret He generally begins his
career by acquiring influence among
his neighbors and fellow worlzmen; or,
if he is a saloon keeper. first among
his customers. He takes part in the
primaries, follows a leader in primary
fights, throws his votes as he is told,
and becomes one of 1.-The boys" When
he reaches q. point where he towns" a
certain number of votes and has a
following of -'heelers'' whom he can
control he becomes a power in the
ward
He can then demand and obtain an
| office From the organization that
rules the ward he is promoted to mem
bership on the central or executive
committee of his party He becomes
one Of the small group called the
ring" which pulls the wires all over
the city, runs the conventions, picks
out the candidates, arranges the
I States" and which aims not only to
hold office. but to garrison all the city
and state and national offices with mer-
lCCllcd y WOIkEIS.
At this stage of his career the coming
boss begins to make money! He is now
in the position to influence the letting
of contracts and to get a. share of
the proceeds of the sale of legislation.
His fortune begins to grow and he sees
riches before him
Some one person in the ring gradu-
ally obtains a paramount influence over
the others. He pulls more wires works
more. successfully upon the weaknesses
OF his fellow members, undermines sue
cessfully his strongest rivals. He be-
comes the boss.
The boss can afford to do without
an office. There are enough people
anxious to buy his influence to keep
him in receipt Of a good income.
Ills influence is, of course, for sale.
A man does not work to be boss for
fun.
How is this state of things to be
met? If you bride a mayor you can be
punished and so can the brfbed official,
out the boss who makes the mayor
and his whole force of subordinates
can be hired to influence them as
readily as can any lawyer be retained
to address a jury; and the boss fee
for accomplishing through the MAYOR
or council any desired purpose is a
matter of a business discussion Why
should the boss be permitted to sell
MS influence over officials who would
themselves be open to punishment if
they were bought? This state of
Things is an anomaly for which the law
makes no Observation-Disclosures Sun.

Smoking HaHheesh.

A favorite sweetmeat is ATTAINED by
making an infusion of the plant Can
abs indica) in hot water. to which
butter or oil is added. The resin at
taches itself to the melted butter or
oil, and when evaporated, is kneeded
with flour and spices into cakes or
pastilles, called ''riajun." Simple in
fusionS of the leaves and Towering
TOPICS are also made and drunk in
many parts of India, by old and young
alike at some of their festivals, just
as alcoholic drinks are too frequently
used in our own country on similar
ccasions.
Like opium, however, hasheesh; is
chiefly used for smoking, and when
thus used it is almost always in COM
bination with tobacco. First, a plug
Of tobacco is placed at he bottom of
the bowl of the pipe, and on the top of
this small piece of hasheesh and over
this, again, a piece of red-hot char
coal. Or this hasheesh is kneaded
with the tobacco by the thumb Of one
hand working in the palm Of the other
until thoroughly Incorporated, when
they are transferred to the bowl and
lighted, as in the previous case. Its
effect when thus used is one of intense
exhiliaration, almost amounting to de-
lirium.
TIE victim Sos the power of
thought, and will carry on in the most
extravagant manner imaginable, alter
nately laughing, singing, or dancing,

acting nationally The English deri-
vative of the word hasheesh gives a.
terrible and too well-deserved signifi-
canoe in connection. Hashash is the
term used for one who smokes hash
eesh," and the plural of the word is
"hashasin," from which our English
word assassin is said to be derived.
Doubtless, it is in this first stage of
hallucination and frenzy that most of
the crimes-and they have been many
attributed to the use of this drug
have been committed; for the second
is one of dreamy enjoyment, finally
followed, if the dose has been full, by
stupor so dense as almost TO amount
to a state of catalepsy. 1t has been
said that a fortnight's use of hasheesh
will make it's victim a complete slave
to the habit, and it's end, as in the
case of the use of opium, is degrade
ton and ruin, physical, social and
moral.-Chamber's Journal

A Kindly Act.

The Western Union line men of Reno
yesterday decided to erect at their own
expense monument to mark the grave
of Thomas c. Thrasher, one of the I'M
fortunate victims of the terrible dis
agter at State Line. The movement
was started yesterday at the Western
Union office, and Superintendent B. c..
Shearer, together with all the operators
and linemen of this place, have agreed
to provide a suitable stone. The act is
a kindly one and reflects credit upon
all who are engaged in it. Thomas c.
Thrasher was employed at the Western
Union office here as a lineman up to a
few months ago, and for this reason
his late comrades feel that his memory
should be honored. Reno Journal.

The placer grounds are close to the
southern boundary of wyoming, Just
across the line in Colorado.
Black sand abounds in that section.
While many people will reach the
grounds from Laramie many have al
ready been going in there from Fort Col
Inns. The Express of that city tells of
one man who from two pans of the
LIE Garde creek placer dirt found sever

than a pin head. The gold found is I'M
doubtedly coarse and the discovery Of
some very large nuggets is certain.
They report that the ground is all

are locating ground on the Jenkins and

that work will begin some time in

A MORAL FUNGUS.
A Pen Picture of the American Po-
EfticaI Boss.

The boss is the most powerful factor
in American politics; and yet he is ir-
responsible. He belongs not to the
legislative, the executive, or the iu-
dicial departments of the government
The founders of our constitution. the
sages who drew the instruments under
which our present governments are car
ried on, apparently had no idea that
bossism would evolve from the product
OF their wisdom, and they made no nro-
vision for calling to account an officer
powerful enough to appoint all the
officers whose duties they defined but
holding no official position himself
The law provides for the freuuent
election of mayors and governors
with a view to holding them to a, strict
accountability, but the man who rules
and moves the mayor fills no place FOR
the nnisn1anagemen of which he can
be impeached, and is never called upon
az an election to give an account of
his handling of his power.
The boss sits In retirement. He never
even talks to a reporter unless he gets
the big head or loses his nerve. The
successful boss, whose word is law
gives his order and is obeyed. While
ne seldom goes far enough in defiance
Of public opinion to risk very much
yet he never puts himself in the wav

Eneland,s .Greatest Enemy.

The one formidable enemy of Great
Britain is Russia The recognition of
this obvious truth does not of itself in
volve any censure. 1t is the result of
la natural law which has been repeat
ledly and emphatically recognized by
the governments of India and Russia,
as we'll as by our military and naval
departments To fancy that the two
empires can thrive and develop in
concord and amity is to trust that the
legg may be Matched and the chicken
grow up to hens estate without ever
breaking the she'll RuSSia's appetite
for land is as Unsuitable as Erysich-
thon's hunger for food
The story of her advance in central
Asia during the last quarter of a CEN
fury is the record of broken promises,
violated treaties, deliberate deception,
and every known category of double
dealing. To hope to stay her further
progress by journalists eloquenee or
diplomatic tact is about as reasonable
as was Mrs Partingtons attempt TO
drive out the Atlantic ocean with a
mop. We have placed implicit trust
lin these commendable methods for over
twenty-five years with no better .e-
suits than the sharpening of our wits,
the hunting of our territorial appe-
titles. and the deepening of our insight
into the UNEMPLOYED labyrinths of hui
man casuistry.
Even Russia's radical friends in Eng
land candidly admit that it is hope
less to attempt to induce her to con-
tent herself with her present frontiers
in the east. And for the best of posi-
Bile reasons. Conscious of her civiliz-
ing mission, she has cast her bread
upon the waters, and is determined
to find it after not too many days.
During the past forty years she has
annexed 10000 square miles and g.
10000 inhabitants barren conquest
which in ten years from 1868 to 1879
resulted in a deficit of no less than 67,-
0OO.O00 rubles. In this new territory
there are vast desolate stretches of
wilderness where, on march of 437
miles camels can only twice get water
to drink. Now, is it conceivable that
Russia should squander money and
blood for such a ruinous possession I'M
less she regarded it as the stepping
stone to something .else2 And what
is the final goal. the Ultima Thule,
but India?
This is neither a rhetorical exaggera-
ton nor q false alarm. 1t is candidly
admitted by the highest military authori-
ties and politicians in Russia; it is con-
stantly before the eyes OF the Indian
government; it is looked forward to
with fatalistic resignation by those
Russophile radicals at home whose in
fiuence upon the foreign policy of
Great Britain is either far too little or
far too great.-Lanin in The Fortnight
