the commissioners courts to compromise
and compound all debts or claims thu inav
he due or owing Their counties upon such
terms and conditions as may appear TO
them to be To the best interest of their

thai 1t ought to pass because OF 'thn I'M
uortancc of a law authorizing some ufj,es

isfacton of tt debt or claim duo the coGn-
ty something other than the mll amount

| VIZ ions OF the bin II is clear that lis ub-
| J"ct is to empower the commissioners
courts to compromise debts due counties
which. or course. would authorize them
to release ANA extingush portions of such

Is sufficient objection to the bill that the

girls that city ordinance was passed
prohibiting the sale of it. Then an en-
terprising, but unprincipled druggist
began the manufacture of a snuff which
takes its place, and hundreds of people
use it and help him to make a fortune
BY the way, snuffing is favorite wav
of using the stuff. because il is not as
apt to show on man as by the use
Of hypo. You might see a man snuff
a solution a dozen times and think
nothing of it, but if you should see him
step TO one side and take a shot with
syringe you would suspect at once
that he is a fend. The people here
snuff it-nOne of them use a syringe
for the very reason that they want 10
keep their habit from the knowledge of
their families or friends.
What would ! recommend? Why.
that moral suasion be used on the vic
tins and a rigid law by the Govern
ment, prohibiting the sale of the drug,
except on the prescription of a physi-
clan. and an additional law which
would forbid that prescription being
refilled. When opium was sold under
a license in Honolulu natives became
addicted to it, and l don't know many
who gave it up. Cocaine is quite as
pleasant TO the fiend as opium. and
there is nothing in the way of their be
coming addicted to it. These habits
spread like a plague, but not so rap
idly. Once a man or woman gets adj
dicted TO it there is trouble ahead. He
Will not realize his danger, and will
never admit that he cannot stop it
In this respect, it is like the use of
liquor; few people will admit that they
cannot drink or not, as they choose,
but the records of a local liquor habit
hospital prove that nearly $50 of these
en-they-want-to" fellows over
estimated their abilities. It took me
a year to stop the ~cn 0f cocaine. and
| have not touched il for FIVE years
L have no desire for =, and feel sorry
when l see a man of intelligence fall
ing into the trap

COCAINE FIENDS-
Habit Growing among Honolulu
Men


Men.
you see that man over there said
a white-faced Honoluluite yesterday,
as a troubled-looking man walked
along Fort street. well it's 10 to l
that he goes into a drug store, and II
he does, it's the same odds he buys CO.
caine He's a fend, but he does not
realize it. l have been through the
mill. and there's a dozen men in HO-
noIulu who are using the drug to ease
imaginary pain, and who are rapidly
becoming addicted to the use of it, and
who will get so far before long that
they cannot do without it.
Cured? Why, certainly, but 1t cost
me a lot of money, or rather, my
friends, for | had none to spare that
way, and no particular desire to stop
using the drug was forced into 1t
by men who had a greater regard 70"
my future than l. How did | begin
The way every one does. l suffered
considera bic from catarrh in the head,
a 2 per cent solution OF cOc3lne was
prescribed and | began 1t. The first
two or three times it was not as allur-
ing as | had expected, but it was not
long before the PHEASANT vi CSLLIo NdihO
and, without knowing it, l became a
victim.
4 can see men on the street here ev-
erv day who are gradually but surely
working their way to point where
cocaine will be as necessary to them
as the air they breathe. They will find
that they cannot sleep without first
taking it. and then they will take II
again if they chance to wake up IN
the night 1t gives these poor devils
an idea that they are strong and they
try to perform what prove TO be impos-
sible tasks.
I never see one of those poor devils
but what L feel sorry for them. And
for two reasons. First, because while
they are snuff1ng up their two per cent
solution. they are blowing out their
brains. And, secondly, because while
they are doing this they imagine no
one knows it.
THAT man I just pointed out to You
| thinks his secret is hidden in his own
! breast, and that no one can detect the
! habit, but he is wrong. Any man who
has ever used cocaine knows what
| is. and the effects of it. He knows by
| the expression on a mans face Wheth-
er or not he uses it. In San Francisco
cocaine has taken the place of NOR
phine. though l believe the former is
the more dangerous of the two, be
cause it affects the brain.
In Chicago, its use became so gen
| eral among young men and factory
