called attention to the fact that the Gus
toms records show imports of half mil
lion pounds of medicinal opium and an

opium. He said: From 90 to 80 per
cent. of the opium in this country was
put to illicit use Among the Chinese of
this country" said DR.. Wright. about
20 per cent. are confirmed opium smok-
ers, 80 per cent. occasional smokers, %
per cent. use opium on holidays, and upon
other infrequent occasions, and % per
cent. are total abstainers. Among white
people opium smoking is confined almost

LAUDS ENGLAND'S RULE
Prof. Charles Johnson Tells University
Students of British System of
Colonization

MADISON. Wis. Oct. 90 Special.
-"England has established a great prin-
ciple of government in India said Prof
Charles Johnson in the course of his
lecture on India, delivered at the law
school at O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
She rules every race according to its
own kind OF government and in q meth
cd adapted to its own peculiar character.
Each race, great or small. and each dis
ulct, IS given government suited to
itself Local laws are administered ac-
cording to local forms, in courts which
use the local language The principle of
religious liberation is given full meas
ure. While there is a common criminal
code for the whole of India, the civil
law is drawn from the Indian law en-
bodied in Maau's code.
The English have established a uni
form system of contracts with provision
for filing the documents with the courts.
They have secured for India peace, civil
rights, 4 certain and impartial Justice
government according to local needs, and
III general system which embOdies the
principle of minority representation
Mr. johnson then went on to describe
the four different races in India. He
said that of the four races, the blacks in
the southern part of the state have con-
tributed much to the material civiIiza-
ton OF the east. especially in the build
ing arts. He said that the red race rep
rcSentS far the best type of manhood
and inhabits Rajputana, which is still
native state.
The white race which entered In
dia from the northwest has much in
common with the ancient Chaldeans,'
continued Mr.. Johnson. Il believe that
the Brahmin race is of the same origin
as the Chaldeans-not that they come
from the Chaldeans. but that both come
from a common stock. Of the European

ANNOUNCEMENT OF GOVERNOR
CUMMINGS.

1t was fitting that Governor Cum
mings, of Iowa, should pay a glowing
tribute to the worth of the late SEN
ator W. B. Allison. It was to have
been expected.
After having paid to the memory OF
the dead man the credit that is his
due, MI. Cummings proceeded to shock
the country by coldly announcing his
candidacy for the place in the senate
made vacant by his death. It would
have been the proper thing under the
circumstances, as we e It, had Gov
enor Cummings waited at least until
the late senator had been laid to rest
before announcing himself a candidate
for his shoes.
The American people are blunt, and
they love enterprise, but there is q
spirit Of sentiment in this country,
with respect to the memory Of great
men, which Governor Cummings would
have. done well to have observed.

sEAToR ALLlsoN,s DEATH.

William B. Allison, who died Tues
day, served his country for torty-one
years. No man in public life vas bet
ter known, few as we'll posted as he.
Senator Allison was one Of those
men who came up, struggling and
fighting, in the dark days Of the re-
public. He was one of the men who
helped to guide the nation at the time
when the worst storm in the history
Of any commonwealth prevailed.
Senator Allison was a man who fore.
saw the future as few did. His grasp
of financial affairs, and his knowledge
of the currency question made him an
international figure.
Iowa has lost a distinguished citi-
zen, and the country will miss the
counsel Of a man with a remarkable
grasp Of public affairs.
