Two summers ago the unfortunate
Inhabitants Of India began to starve.
Last summer still more Of them were
starving, and the deaths recorded from
this cause were frightfully numerous.
The United States ordered some supplies
sent to them. Those supplies have been
lying at San Francisco about u year be-
cause there was no law passed to allow
the navy department to send them to
India in a foreign ship. This summer
finally such q law has been passed -to
apply to the special case, and by next
fall the wheat will be ready to be dis
tributed among the Hindoos. But by
that time their 1897 crops will be
grown, and such of them as are left
will have plenty to eat of their own
raising. This is a great country, this is.

1t is common among the opponents of
the negro and of republican govern
ments in general to point to Haiti as to
an awful example Of what negroes do
when they try to u a republic for
themselves. Look at Haiti. they say.
That is what Cuba would become If she
were free. a region Of anarchy and ig-
torrance Well, there is no fairness in
either the assumption or the compari-
son. The thriving, peaceful republic OF
Liberia Is an evidence that negroes can
run a democratic government OF their
own. Second, Cuba is not an island full
of negroes. There are twice as many
white people there as blacks. Third.
even IL under freedom Cuba should re-
lapse into the condition in which Haiti
now is she would not be as bad of as
she is under Spanish oppression-no.

The Tariff Debate.

1t is not many thrills the average
American can get out of the doings of
congress jus: now. For days the senate
chews away on the tariff on chicle,
which is Mexican for chewing gum. 1t
splits up the house duty on chalk and
sticks an additional one upon refined
camphor, while, perhaps owing to the
opening of summer and the green fruit
season, it ~benevolently drops 3 cents of
the duty on peppermint oil. 1t thinkers
with chlorate of potash. "Alazarin as
s~istant, whether liquid, solid or in
paste" which must be half way between
liquid and solid, is taxed up or down ao-
cording to the castor oil it contains
more if a whole lot of castor oil, not SO
much if only a small quantity. 1t values
castor oil highly, the United States SEN
ate does.
Our senators show they know the
difference between logwood and dog
wood by their bark; also the difference
between methyl ethy famine and just
plain methylated spirit. They are not
going to let the house get ahead of them
in the matter of borate Of soda or pot
ash, neither orange mineral nor poppy
seed oil. And when it comes to fish
bladders and gelatin and coal tar dyes,
the house of representatives, even with
Gar Reed at it's head, is simply not in
it with u senators.
Meantime the country waits, as usual,
while the cry ascends to heaven like
the old maids petition: Anybody. Lord.
Give Us anything, say the business men
anything, no matter what, but let 1t
be something and let it be soon.

The Japanese Do Not Use op,um.

The Japanese, unlike their Chinese
nelghbors. have horror of opium
smoking. In Japan it is crime, pun
lshable by heavy fine and long inn
prlsonmcnt. 1t is Il crime to sell opium
or smoking apparatus, and the only
places where the drug can BIO purchased
or where person may smoke are OH the
foreign reservations under the protection
of foreign flag. The opium dens in
Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasuki and other
cities are all found i'll the German,
French and English concessions, where
the japanese have no jurisdiction
When the japanese took possession of
Formosa, which was coded by China to
Japan as u part of the price of peace,
they found serious problem in the
prevalence of OPIUM smoking among the
natives and Chinese residents, who are
numerous.
After the trial of various methods the
government has finally adopted rather
novel policy to repress and regulate
the vice. 1t requires every opium smo-
kcr to purchase license from the gov
ernmcnt by the payment of Il fee and
permits indulgence i'll the vice within
certain limits of tho city, which will
result i'll the colonization Of opium
smokers. Physicians and druggists
alone are permitted to buy and sell the
drug, and they are required to take out
licenses and pay heavy fees for the priv
ilegc. Any violation of this law is pun
ishod by imprisonment with hard labor
for Il term not exceeding 10 years or 4
fine not exceeding 5000 yen. In the
districts set apart for Indulgence in the
vice opium smoking houses may be
opened for the accommodation of stran-
gers or persons who do not care to
smoke Oh their own premises. These
houses are subject to strict regulations,
and every time they harbor customer
who does not have permit to smoke
opium the proprietor is liable to II fine
of 5000 yen and imprisonment for II
years. Chicago Record
