passed the hall while the session was in

tory already won was being celebrated
There was a large crowd present and ring

thusiasm. The sentiment OF one speaker
was received with particular appreciation.
He made happy remark that the Eighth
ward though lying without the center or
the city and covering districts more or less
thinly built up. would make amends bS its
enthusiasm and would make its councils a
prominent factor in the coming campaign.

Government Laws. must be presumed
10 have been enacted in the light OF
these decisions and with the intention
that it should be construed as the for
mer similar Act of 1874 had been con-
etrued. We must regard il as settled
beyond review that opium is still sub
ject of smuggling.
1t is, however, argued that the stat
utory conditions are not the same as
they were when the former decisions
were rendered, for the reason that Act
10, Laws OF 1892, which permitted the
importation of opium, by licensees and
the Board of Health, free of duty, and
by physicians, chemists and apothe-
carries subject to a duty of 100 per cent.
and prohibited it as to all others, re-
pealed, as inconsistent Herewith, the
previously existing duty of 10 per cent.
on opium, for there would no longer be
any one to pay the 10 per cent. duty
not even the Board of Health as under
the Act Of 1S74-and, that although this
Act Q10) was repealed by Act II, Pro-
visional Government Laws, the latter
did not re-enact the duty upon opium
either expressly or by implication, for
Civ. Code, Sec. POI the repeal of a re-
pealing law does not revive the origi-
nal law. A sufficient answer to this ar
gument is, that under the tariff law
och. %, Laws of 1892 opium was duti
able not as such specifically but as COM
ing under the general drugs and medi-
cines" clause and that the effect of Act
10 was therefore not to repeal this
clause but merely to except opium from
it's operation. Consequently, when the
exception was removed the general
clause which was in force all the while
would again necessarily include opium.
Smith V. Hoyt, Il Wis. 252; Bank V.
Collector, Wall. 495.
AS to the personal claim of the mas
ter, no sufficient reason is shown for
disturbing the decree appealed from.
The articles disalloWed are all such as
are appropriate for the safe navigation
of the vessel. A receipted bill found on
board against the vessel and her own
er for the chronometer would further
tend to show that these articles were
part of the furniture of the vessel.
There is nothing but the masters
sworn claim to the contrary.
AS to the claim for seamen's wages,
the voyage being illegal and it not ap-
pearing that the seamen were innocent
of the illegality, their claim cannot be
allowed The st. Jago de Cuba, 9 VIII.

Opium is an article capable OF being SNUG
gied within the meaning Of Section 6o5 OF
the Civil Code which defines Smuggling
as the importation of goods subject to duty,
notwithstanding Act r., Prov. GOVT:
Lava, which prohibits the importation of
opinm except by the Board OF Health
bat which also provides that nothing in
the Act shall be construed TO exempt any
person or vessel from the pains and
penalties against smuggling. ga
The repeal of an Act which me 'ely excerpts
a particular class Gas opium and prepare
ito ms thereby from the provisions of a
prior general law Gas the drugs and
medicines" clause of the tariff laws)
which continues in force, operates to
bring that class again under the general
law.
A masters claim for articles as his personal
property is disallowed, the articles being
appropriate for the safe navigation
of the vessel and receipted bill for one
of them against the vessel and its owners
being found on board. SIS tastGG@-s-a
Seamen's wages are disallowed, the voyage
being illegal and the seamen not appear

I'D his audience to such a pitch Of enthusa-
asm as no other temperance speaker had
done before or has accomplished since.
HIS moss remarkable success was In
1876 at Pittsbuxg. BE talked there for
three months In one hall, and as a result
"a, 800 men signed the pledge In 1873 1t
was estimssbed that 1a. 600, 600 people had
been induced to take the pledge through
the work he had started. He spent four
years in Great Britain with his son, and
they were instrumental In starting a wave
Of reform throuRhout the United Kingdom
that was SO great that It was calculated
that the value Of public house property
declined 30 per cent.
Mr.. Murphy's first wife died IN the be-
ginning of his temperance work, and he
was a widower for nearly 30 years. While
leoturing in Omaha few years ago he be-
came acquainted with Mrs. Rebecca Fisher,
the president OF the Council Bluffs Wom-
ems Christian Temperance union. His
admiration for her zeal, intelligence and
good looks soon ripened into affection, and
after a short oourtship, which was oon-
Quoted in the lecture hall, they were mar
ried. Since then Mrs. Murphy has been
assisting her husband in his work.

THE MURPHY MOVEMENT.
Mr. Murphy Is Still Behind 1t and Pusl
ing VigorouaIY.


Twenty-six years is a long time for a
man to devote himself to one cause, but
that Is the exact period during which
Francis Murphy, the great temperance
lecturer, has been working to convert his
fellow men from drunkards into sober cit
liens. He is 60 years old now and his hair
Is almost as white as snow, but his figure
Is erect, his eye clear and his voice as
strong and sweet as when he began his
crusade. He is still on the platform, too
and with his wife recently conducted a
most successful series of meetings in Chi
cago.
Probably no man In this country Is
known personally to so many men as
Francis Murphy. For over a quarter of
century he has been travelling up and
down the land, sometimes speaking every
night for months in a city and having au-
diences only limited by the capacity of the
hall or church in which he appeared. He
was born in Ireland and came to America
when he was 10. He settled. in Portland,
Me-, and for years lived a wild and disso-
lutte life. He suddenly reformed and at
once went TO work among the companions
on whom he had formerly exerted an evil
influence. In few days he had induced
20 of them to take the pledge. His work
attracted attention, and he was asked to
go on the lecture platform. His first at
tempt at speaking in public was failure.
He could not utter a word, but when he
did find his voice on the next trial, he rous-

speaker at big political rallies during
important campaigns, he has not been
generally regarded as a politician or a
candidate for any Office. The fact is he
has been too busy rairoading for the last
90 years to give much attention to the
game of politics, although he has a nat
ural inclination in that direction. He
is the president of the Big Four and also
Of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroads.

h ,.rd Law school. He was graduated
in 1868 and secured place in Boston
law Office, where he soon became sue
cessful and well known lawyer. He was
active in politics and was elected to the
state senate. In 1871 he had occasion to
60 to Cincinnati as receiver Of the old
Cincinnati, st. Louis and Chicago road.
He thought he saw good chance to in
vest the little capital which he had saved,
and so he put hts all into the stock of
the bankrupt road. He was made presi-
dent and by his shrewd enterprise built
up the property until it was on paying

FILTERS.

The report of the eXecu-
tive officer of the Board of
Health relative to the
condition of the Nuuanu
reservoirs is suggestive of
something dangerous to
health. 1t also suggests fill
tiers, good filters, something
that will effectually separate
the water from mud and filth.
Nature has done much
toward providing the people
with neceSSarieS; it has also
done a little toward securing
for the people, Injuries In
some localities a filter is a
luxury, in others, Honolulu
for instance, it is a necessity,
but the natural filters that are
sold have been much i'm
proved by ingenuity of man.
