WIDE-TIRE LAWS.
California Paper Thinks They Are
Needed in That and Other States.

Riverside county has just adopted y
wide tire ordinance to prevent the de-
struction of new roads the county will
build. That is well; but we fear it will
be ineffective until there is a general
law on the subject. Placer has a wide
tire ordinance also, but it is sleeping,
because wagons of narrow tires be-
longing in adjoining counties roll into
Placer and cut up the roads the wide
tires make, hence the Placerites do not
feel it to be just TO enforce law upon
their own which the stranger may vio-
late with impunity. So it viii We in
Riverside. There is wide tire bill be-
fore the legislature, and it has favor
able committee report But the bill
simply gives the supervisors power to
pass ordinances on the subject. The
bill may as well pass as an educa tional
measure; were it obligatory, however,
there would be great virtue IN it. 1t is
possible that under it some counties
may be encouraged to adopt the ordi-
nance towards which Ne bill looks;
but general law, to take effect two
years hence, is what the late road con-
vention advised, and it knew what is
needed in this matter. Sacramento

CURSE OF AesINTHE DRINKING.
Vitality of the French Nation Being Slapped
by This Insidious Drink.

Vitality of the French Nation Being Slapped
10y This Insdious Drink.
DR.. LancereauX, the celebrated
French physician, has lent to the
French medical academy statistical
report of the use of absinthe in France,
which has created a sensation, as it
shows in plain figures how year for
year this fovorite drink of the French
people is undermining vitality of the
nation, and his report is doubly inter-
esting when it is taken in considera-
tian that the United States next to
France is the greatest consumer Of
this poison in the form of alcoholic
stimulant.
Absinthe is procured by pounding the
leaves and fowery tops of various
species Of wormwood. with angelica
root, sweet flag root, the leaves of
diptany of Crete. starantise fruit, and
other aromatics and macerating these
in alcohol. After soaking for about
eight days the compound is distilled,
yielding an emerald-colored liquor, to
which proportion of an essential oil,
usually that of anise. is added.
III LuuCeESduA III MS report eSIl-
mates that of twenty patients ten are
suffering alcoholic poison, five from the
use of absin the and i've from other in
toXicants. He says it would be an in
teresting study to ascertain what in
fuence the habit of absiuthe has had
on the social organization of the ma
ton, and the power it has had on the
political history of France, on political
agitations and questions of national
Importance. Five years ago no one
would admit that alcoholism was on
the increase in France. They that
dared to raise a warning voice were
called traitors, foreigners, spies in the
pay Of Germany. To-day we car not
shut our eyes to the truth; it is seen
to exist on every hand, the cry is now
to esta blish legal boundaries for the
prevention of the consumption of alb
sinthe, the nations most dangerous
