SOME STARTLING FIGURES.

Temperance Is a good thing. beyond the shadow of a doubt, especially tenn perance in the use of intoxicanto, Pro hibition may also be a good thing when 1t can be enforced. But there may be something worse than intemperance bad as that is Men ana women are so con- stituted that they must have some kini of artificial stimulant. What is worse, they will. have it. Whether that is fault or a misfortune of humanity is inn material. It is fact, and that is suffi- cient.
 The hasheesh of the Eastern nations and the opium of the Chinaman talk: the place of the whiskey and other in- toxicants of the Caucasian. As q milder stimulant the white man takes to to- bacco in some form. All of them arc taken for their effect. If people are de- nied the use of wine and beer and other intoxicants they will satisfy the!r cray ings with something else, and that some- thing else may be more hurtful tfan in- temperance in drink
 NUl lOIlS dSu Ii A. I NA'''''-- Burlington, Vt. read a paper at a meet ing of one of the medical societies or New York in which he stated that by actual inquiry he had found in the reg ular drug stores and in 16O of the 172 gen eral stores in the State of Vermont they sell every month 3,3OO.O0O doses of opium besides what they dispense in patent medicines, and besides what the doctors dispense, which gives one and one-hali doses of opium to every man and wo- man in the State of Vermont above the age of T years every day in the year
 By doses of opium he explains that he means the dose of the actual drug or it's equivalent in morphine, laudanum' paregoric or other form of opium. Com menting on this statement The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, d very conservative paper, says:
 While attempting to effect what ap- pears to be the impossible regarding in- toxicating liquors, the worse intoxlcat- ing drug evil is overlooked. More than this, the. worse evil is being stimulated. There can hardly be any question as to this The relationship between large consumption of drug stimulants and the attempted suppression of the liquor traf- lie is no doubt direct, and such as to awaken serious apprehensions in the minds of thoughtful people.
 If these are facts-and we have at pres ent no ground upon which to dispute either the statements of pr. Grinneil or the reasoning of The Republican-but if these are facts, what is the remedy? If the sale of intoxicants can be totally stopped, and the result in any commu- nity or State or city is as stated by pr. Grinnell, has aything been gained to humanity or to society? The subject of prohibition involves something besides the abolition of liquor and the question presented to humanitarians is, what is best? If the use of intoxicants is sup pressed and something worse is to take the place of them. are we any better of? Probably the conditions existing in Vermont are abnormal, but they are cer- tainly discouraginS.

pension was stopped. Then the second husband died and the widow made ap- plication for reinstatement as the widow of the first husband, and the claim was allowed Consequently, under that ruling a woman can never be widow of any but he. first husband. We don't know how that kind of reasoning would work in law, but many things are easy in the pension office.

Editor The Advertisers:
 It has not been SO long since the prefix "bldCk" was ettached to the name of the Republican party nor have the mem- ories of those distressing days past en- tirely out of mind The Lily Whites recruits, however. have become obliv- iOus to those times, or else. they either deceive thcmselTs. or expect to deceive others. It Is true that We have our new CuuStit':.ion which practically eliminates the II" 0 vote under the temporary plan. Wifi SO under the pernanent plan whl,l aes into effect in 1903? That its tcnr will be that way. no one can well (. '@ht. if we remain true to our
 this l mean white people. 1t requires no p.ophG:ic vision, to foresee that the ne so may yet become an important factor in our political system. It is no doubt very well for Black Republican white men to become Lily White" Rcpubli- cans. and this may he a great step to- ward contamination of the end we are striving to attain, but too much ac- tive assistance by assertions from the Democratic ranks may bring forth dis aster and defeat. and perhaps make the negro the arbiteT between the two great parties. Not until the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitu- ton of the United States can we be said to be out of the woods, Not until then can the white people afford serious di- vision. As an advocate of fair elections, and Tn" ultimate tlllnlhatlon or the he- gro from ,he political arena. I was. and still am q zcal3us advocate of the new Constitution; and as a firm believer in the freedom uf political thought and ac- tion I also advocated its adoption; but l never laid the flattering unction to my soul that this Constitution would all at once bring about the latter condition of things. 1t is bat stepping-st0ne; an example sel. which if followed by other Southern states. may result in the re- pCai of the Fifteenth Amendment. We have long since demonstrated that this amerdm"nt is. at least as far as the South is concerned. q dead letter. If NO convince the Northern people. or to be more accurate Northern Republicans. that the Republican party can makc up hcaIw&y in the S1atn until it's repeal: if in other words. it be demonstrated that by it's repeal their party will gain more than it will lose. then will re- peal of this amendment probably follow.
