TO FEED THE DEAp.

Three hacks loaded with our Chinese
population, and bountiful supply of
fireworks and eatables, went out to the
semi-annual feast of the dead. The GER
emonies are interesting, but about the
only ineligible thing white man can
decipher is the distribution of food and
the spriDkling of the graves with China
gin. A vanished pig, with not plain
unvarnished tail, holds the place of
honor on these occasions, and used to
be left in the cemetery, an offering to
the dead, but in San Francisco the ir-
reverent hoodlums used to follow the
procession and fill their unregenerate
stomachs with the funereal hog and
sweetmeats, SO that the custom has
been changed and the hog is brought
home to pad out the frontispiece of the
live Celestial, the offering now being
only emblematical. The ceremonies
conclude with the pouring of a libation
of China gin on the graves, which is a
putting of it where 1t will do the most
good by doing the least harm. The
whole proceeding seems to be matter
of cold business with the Chinese, for
they certainly have less veneration for
the dead than any other nation on earth.
Vanished pig, dog tripe, boneless duck
and strings of linked sausage, long
drawn out, seem to our eyes a rather
inappropriate offering for the spiritual
comfort even of Chinaman, but as the
corpses seem to stand it without kick
ing, it must be all right.

FOR THE PRINCIPLE.

Governor Mckinley is swinging
round the circle" and is meeting with
such an ovation as is seldom accorded a
public man. This shows the extent of
the interest of the people in the political
and financial situation. William McKin-
ley is in no sense a great man. Dozens
of republicans can be found who out-top
him intellectually as far as Mt. Hood
does the mountains around it. It is
not the man whom the people delight to
honor but the principles embodied in
the bill which bears his name, and which
typifies Americanism. The man repre-
sents the theory and practice of the re-
publican party, and the enthusiasm with
which he is received demonstrates the
feeling of the country. 1t is simply an
endorsement of the principles of protec-
tion, and condemnation of the theories
of the democratic party. It is grand
ovation and Governor Mckinley may
well feel proud of it. Gould the nomin-
alton for the presidency be made to-
morrow, VIM. Mckinley would be the
nominee without doubt. But unfor-
tunately for him more than two years
must elapse before that event, and in
that time his star will set. The same
fate will perhaps follow the hopes of an
ADLER man, Tom Reed of Maine, who is in
our opinion the shrewdest politician and
one of the ablest statesmen in the coun-
try. The Quays, the Camerons, the
Clarksons nominate the president, and
the fate of those who become prominent
too early has always been defeat. 1t
was so with Webster, with Clay; with
Conkling,and with Blaine. The rabble of
little great men fell upon them and des-
troyed. But whoever the candidate
may be, the public demonstrations, in
dorsing the principles of the republican
party, may well assure him of a phe-
nomenal vote in 1895.

We don't know anything about the
book trust, but we do know that the
present text books used in the schools
have given general satisfaction, and
while it may be possible to improve on
them the time is not at hand for so
doing. Let the times improve before we
attempt to improve the school books.
When Hoke Smith returns to Georgia,
and Grover slumbers in innocuous des-
uetude, when labor finds employment
and capital Investment, then when the
head of the family is earning something
it will be time to go into the school book
question. Just now the heads of the
families are devoting most of their time
to hustling something to go into the
school boys stomach, and what goes
into his head, while vastly important, is
nevertheless secondary.

THE CIGARETTE VICE.

The use of cigarettes is not merely
the use Of tobacco, it is vice by it
self. In reforma tories where the
cure of opium, alcohol, and cigarette
habits is a business, cigarette pa
TENTS are not restricted from smok-
ing cigars or pipes, which are re-
garded as comparatively harmless.
The cigarette works special evil of
its own which tobacco in other
forms does not effect. This evil
result may be due to drugs, or to
the paper wrappers, or to the fact
that the smoke Of cigarettes is al
most always inhaled into the lungs,
while cigar smokeis not. AS to that,
let the experts decide; about the fact
OF the effect there is no doubt, and
no dearth of evidence. No other
form of tobacco eats into the will as
cigarettes do. The adult man can
carry off a good deal of poison of
one kind or another without disas-
ter and his duties being fixed and his
will formed, he is usually able to
make his minor vices subservient to
his more important obliga tons
And so it happens that it is a matter
OF constant observation in clubs, and
wherever there are intelligent men
who allow themselves all the Great
ure indulgences that they dare, that
these experienced persons are con-
stantiy Swearing off, cigarettes for
longer or shorter periods, and smoke
cigars instead. The cigarette fetter
begins to gall, and they fling it off.
But young boys do not do that.
They have not discretion enough for
one thing, and for another, cigars
cost too much for them, and cannot
be smoked surreptitiously in spare
moment 1t is the Internal cheapness
OF the cigarette and its adaptability
for concealment that tempts this
scnool-boy's callow intelligence

THE LOUISIANA LOTTERY.

With the closing of 1898 the Lou
isiana Lottery ceased o exist as an
institution in New Orleans, and l.
supposed to have takenlts depar urt
for Honduras. There upon an island
going on to give this celebrated
gambling scheme new home and a
new lease on life. Under the tropi
cal skies of Central A merica, possibly
a second and more notorious Monte
Carlo will arise To allure the gamb-
lers of the world and provide
means to satisfy the craving for
games of chance which seems to take
possession of many persons in all
countries.
The people of New Orleans and
Louisiana are rejoicing in the closing
up of the lottery and in the prospect
that its influence on the community
will be destroyed The history of
the Louisina Lottery is an interest
ing, no. to say romantic one. 1t
became a source of untold wealth TO
its managers and founders, and it
also became noted through the
United States as affording a posi-
bility of reaping large return for
small investment Of course the
million paid the price of their tickets
each month, while a few persons
only drew prizes, but these prizes
were large in amount, and the
fortunate ones, some of them, were
placed beyond the prospect of want
through a fortunate turn of the
wheel in New Orleans.
But the effect of the Louisiana
Lottery upon the people of America
was confessedly demoralizing. Ac-
Cordingly, desperate fight was un-
dertaken to uproot it and cast it out,
lasting for several years and embit-
tering the people of Louisiana, one
against the other as nothing else has
ever done in the history of the COM
monwealth. The party of reform
and deCency," as it was expressed,
won the day, the lottery was refused
an extension Of its lease and its ex-
istence in Louisiana expired Deem
Der 80, 1898. The citizens of that
state especially are to be congratu-
lated upon the departure of the lot
terry octopus to fields and pastures
new. The better element Of society
IN Louisiana made a desperate on
slaught against the decentralization
OF the lottery and its agents, wor
the battle fairly, and are entitled &c
the thanks of the county for the
achievement of their noble victory
