NORWOOD FIEND IN FRANCE.
AbNinthe II Constantly Transform
ing Thousands Of Workmen
Into Criminals.

As whisky is the curse Of Scotland,
absinthe is the curse of France. And
while ~unadulterated whisky is slow
and relatively harmless in its effects.
absinthe is a deadly poison and ex-
acts a terribly rapid retribution, says
a London newspaper. Pass along the
Paris bouleyards any evening at the
"absinthe hour" and remark the bev-
erage in three-fourths of the glasses
before the men sitting outside the
cafes. You will know it by its pun
gent odor of aniseed.
The habitual absinthe drinker,
though as a rule he confines himself
to oDe "Pernod' at a sitting, is not
content with one per day. Before
dejeuner, during the afternoon, be-
fore dinner and in the evening, after
work is over. absinthe is the ~favorite
drink with thousands of workmen in
Paris. What is the result? Not so
much that they get hopelessly intox-
icated as that they gradually become
besotted and brutalized, and finally,
when the insidious, relentless poison
has finished its work. lose their rea-
son and end as criminals or madmen.
What is true of the Paris workman
indeed, of the workmen in all large
towns-is doubly true of the Paris
loafer. Constantly worshiping at the
shrine of the NORWOOD fiend. he in
variably succumbs in the end, and
when a man has become a slave to
absinthe there is nothing of which
he is not capable.
OF course Frenchmen also consume
other varieties of alcohol. Rum,
brandy. yermouth and numerous sim
liar and dissimilar digestiyes, are
taken. The Partisan seems to
be always drinking, yet he seldom
gets drunk.

THE oRAsPERs ARE ACTIVE.

The advocates OF the treaty are
fond Of asserting that the senti-
ment in favor Of its ratification is
growing, and that if it is defeated
It will be on account Of lack of
time to discuss it. These asser-
lions are untrue and are a rehec-
ton upon the intelligence of the
Oh erokee people. 1t is a remark
abb g fact that the people loudest in
advocacy of the treaty are those
who have no interest at stake, and
those who expect to get something
for nothing by its ratification.
The ratification of the treaty
would add a few more millions to
the assets of the Standard Oil
company, and incidentally make
q few Cherokees rich who hold
leases. The common Cherokee
Indian should better wake up and
not fail to 90 10 the polls and vote
against it, because the enemy is
not idle and is prepared to spend
large sums of money to carry it.
It has recently developed that the
mineral lease people propose to
secure the ratification Of this treaty
If money will accomplish 1t. They
realize that never again will they
get a chance to secure VIVA. they
SO much covet, namely, the min
eral Of this nation. Ii this treaty
is defeated congress will drive
fheir lobbyists from its halls, as
should have been done heretofore.
The talk that no more treaties
will be made comes from the enc
my and is untrue When this
treaty is defeated it will have been
demonstrated that the C~herokees
are determined t. not surrender
their rights and that they will
only consent to a fair division OF
their tribal estate. The threat to
use money and force at the polls
Is beneath the dignity Of a true
American citizen and should be
rebuked By an overwhelming vote
against so unjust a treaty. There
are a few government officials who
have proclaimed themselves un-
safe and corrupt spectators by
tn cir positions upon the treaty.

city tiremen, as an organization, does
not feel like assuming the Responsible

reason that as an organization it has
