A CORNER IN OPIUM.
The Drug Is Very Dear and the
Supply Extremely Low.
Vigilance Of Revenue Officers Makes
Smuggling Difficult.
This Forebodes fortunes to Thou
sands Who Use 1t.

There is woe among the opium fends
Of this city. Somebody has cornered
the opium market. and II the corner
Isn't broken soon there ID liable to be
trouble. .Y
The price of opium ranges in ordi.
nary times from $3.50 to $3.50 per can
according to quality. Lately the price
has been going UP 80 cents at time
until now the cheapest opium in the
market brings 50 $50 can. and little
can be bought even at that price.
IL you ask one of the Mott street deal
ers what Is the cause of the corner he
will say ''stlike." Somebody told the
Cinnamon that there was a strike on In
the West, and that is given as the excuse
for holsting the price of the drug. II
you inquire whether the Chinese Japan.
csc war has anything to do with 1t they
simply reply "mebbe."
The real reason for the corner IL prob
ably the difficulty Of smuggling opium
into the country. There IL enough
opium in British Columbia ready to be
shipped into the States" to give overy
citizen of the Republic load" but
the unusually stringent measures now
proved so formidable that the dealers
have been unable to smuggle in enough
to supply the demand
The Wo kee Company Is the great
opium-distributing concern of this city.
Hundreds OF thousands of dollars worth
of opium is handled by this Company
yearly. The rich opium smoker buys
direct from the Wo Kee people. a S5.5(
can being sufficient to last an ordinary
'fend" at least two weeks. The great
habit" however, buy in drug stores
Two pharmacies in the Tender!oin Dis
trict. one in Sixth avenue. q little more
than a stone-throw distance from Capt
Schmittberger's headquarters, and the
other near the Metropole Hotel, have
the bulk of the retail trade.
The proprietor Of the Sixth avenue
drug store has within the last few days
offered $40 cali for opium. and would
buy $500 worth or more at that price II
he can obtain it.. He has only been able
patrons have pleaded In vain to get the
customary amount OF dope" They get
about half the customary amount, and
that, too. only after a long explanation
OF the trouble the proprietor has been
put to.
Any one who knows what person ad-
elected to opium suffers when unable to
get the drug can appreciate what the
corner means to the 1900 or 5000 fiends
In this city. II the supply continues 70
decrease, and the price to increase, the
half-crazed persons craving relief from
the tortures to which those with the
habit are doomed when robbed Of the
great Oriental drug.

posal to any Adjournment of the case,
contending that 1t would be unfair to
his clients.

Mr.. TILLMAN, the cranky chief
executive officer Of South Carolina.
swears he is the truest representa-
tive of Jefersonian Demo in
American politics. But he enter
tains a far different opinion Of
President Cleveland. The gov
ernor is quoted as saying:
I despise Cleveland and his mug
wumps He is no better than the rank
est Republican. He has destroyed the
Democratic party The south and
west will be forced now to unite and
have a complete reorganization Of
party lines. The people who are afraid
OF the negro, and who are separated on
other questions will have to cast aside
their fears on these scores and come
together on one line of fighting the
money combination. Cleveland has
been working under the dictation OF
New York bankers and bargaining
with them on the issue of bonds. He
promised the banks if they would take
them there would be no more legisla-
ton on the silver question by this con-
gress.
Congress passed the seigniorage act
and he vetoed the bill, Indicating
plainly the nature of his bargain with
the bankers. The whole thing is such
a scheme of robbery that he ought tc
be impeached for it. It is a shame and
disgrace. Grover Cleveland is owned
body and soul by these scoundrels
His attempt to brow-beat and debauct
