There evidently are some people in
the village who believe the world owes
them a living and instead of going
about it in the good, old fashion and
earning it for themselves, prefer to get
it from the earnings of others. Last
week the. UNION spoke Of the theft Of
a scraper and some blankets and this
week numerous complaints have been
afoat which tell OF the visits of UNI
known parties to other peoples prem
ises, although no losses have been re-
ported. Rev. Moore discovered un-
nistakable igns Of the unappreciated
attentions Of a man this week, and a
night or two before the ladies at the
Estes residence were awakened by the
nocturnal visitors. The trespassers
were frightened away but the next
morning ladder was found placed
near one Of the second story windows.

holds to prepare to receive these
visitors with a loaded gun. sss<

q In another week the UNION will have
rounded its twentieth milestone. We
celebrate the event by virtually reduc-

At one dollar per year the margin for

without a license, but who among
the lot has ever taken a step. to
prevent this thing going on? How
many have endeavored to reach the
matter through the proper author1-
ties? Not many, if any.
1t is the same old story with the
opium traffic. Human nature
doesn't change. whether it Is the
opium or liquor question that IS
ag1tating the minds of the people.
Tt is said opium cannot be kept
from the country, but mark you
one all-important point-the Gov
eminent has never supplied the
proper means to keep it out. And
now it is urged that before the
Government has fully tested its abil-
ity to put down the evil, it is best to
turn about, admit defeat, admit
that the first Legislature OF the
Republic is weakened and will
ing to sell its birthright of integ-
rity of principle gained in 1893 for
a mess OF opium pottage. It is
possible the body polite OF Hawaii
may fall in with this idea, but we
have very good reason to doubt it.
The advocates of the opium bill are
simply preparing political graves
for themselves, both at home and
abroad.

fault that one blot was wiped out

regret that they did not kill the

SPEAKER REED continues to say
nothing of his Presidential aspira-
lions, but he is not unmindful OF
the impressions which it is his
duty as candidate for the nomin-
alton to make. His economical
streak, which leads him to oppose
the Nicaragua Canal bill, works
both ways. 1t catches the deni-
zens of the way-back towns who
believe the safety of the Republic
is in the number of dollars saved,
and at the same time Reed stands
in with the railroad men, who
have no desire to see the canal
route capture the carrying trade.
The denizens have the honest votes
and the railroad bosses have funds
to buy. votes that are on the
market. Reeds chances are not
bad.

Imagination and Truth.

Imagination has a lot to do with
some peoples purchases. For in
stance, in buying beer they imagine
that one beer is the same as another.
They might as we'll imagine that all
persons are exactly alike; that would
not change the truth any. To put it
briefly, you had better let some one
else do the imagining; see to it that
you get the best and purest and in
that way your health will not be apt
to suffer. You will make no mistake
by drinking Seattle beer, which can
be had at the Criterion saloon.

APOLOGIES AS ARGUMENTS.

O0udIOIo DIOWh3 AAONhAhS OAANA
McCandless, true to their hobby,
have set the opium bill on its way,
and the country is again to be put
under the disagreeable necessity OF
discussing a problem that only a
few years ago was put down as
settled beyond a question OF a
doubt. The method championed by
Senator Waterhouse was the only
way to settle Mr.. Browns bill. The
conditions have not changed to
such an extent ia three years that
the wiseacres of today will gain
unusual glory in standing behind
and endeavoring to brace up this
skeleton of corruption.
The argument put first and fore
most by these men is nothing more
or less than an apology. They tell
us that they know the opium traffic
is degrading and dangerous they
would gladly stamp it out. But
there is opium in the country to-
day; opium is coming in steadily
and they throw up their sanctimo-
NOUS hands and declare the country
is powerless to prohibit, and con-
sequently ought to pat the opium
fiends ON the back and declare them
good fellows-so long as they
will pay for it. 1t is hypocracy
from start to finish, and every
legislator who raises his voice or
registers his vote in favor of the
bill is nothing more or less than
an advocate of political hypocracy,
as bare faced and open as the opium
and lottery corruption of the mon
archy.
Should the opium license men be
successful in their scheme now on
foot they know very well what will
be the result. Granting they can
find purchasers of licenses placed
from $4,000 to $4,000, how long
will it-be before the opium vendors
will come forward with the same
petty whine now being brought up?
How long will it be before they
will complain that the license and
duty are so high that they cannot
compete with the smugglers?
Again the argument-the apology
will be brought forward that the
Government cannot cope with the
smuggler, consequently the Gov
eminent should be brought nearer
the smuggler and endeavor to drive
him out of business by pure COM
petition of prices. The result is
practically free opium, with all its
attendant power of corruption and
degradation. 1t may be said
that the licensees will assist
the Government in preventing
contraband opium coming into
and being sold in the country.
We have a good example of the
influence that licenses exert over
illicit sales, in the amount of liquor
that is sold in this country outside
the licensed saloons. What have
the liquor men done to decrease the
illicit sale of spirits? Absolutely
nothing. They will point out to
YOU the places where liquor is sold
