Various Drugs and Their Effects.

All narcotics beget a desire fnr
further indulgence, which is best
allayed by a repetition of the same
narcotic. One. however, may be
substituted for another, as NOR
phine will quiet the nervousness Ct
overindulgence in alcohol or CO
caine, alcohol will temporarily
soothe the craving for morphine;
cocaine will relieve the depression
from morphine or alcohol or stim
ulate the languor from excessive
tobacco smoking. This narcotic
craving differs somewhat with each
narcotic. The craving for NOR
phine is described as pain and
hunger which must be satisfied;
the craving for alcohol, at first be-
ginning as mental desire, goes on
Increasingly until it becomes an OBJ
session, displacing all other
thoughts; the craving for cocaine
begets a nervous restlessness which
may 60 out into a furious maniac
al passion that cocaine alone Gun
quiet.
Each narcotic has its special
causes for indulgence which are
not uninteresting to consider sep
arateIy. Pain is probably the
most frequent cause for opium or
morphine addiction. The pain Of
acute disease must frequently be
relieved by morphine, and after
The disease las ceased. the patient,

The Lead Belt News, question.
ing our argument in support of
the protective tariff, that under
Republican rule, no matter what
the cost of living is, the people
have the means to buy it, and we
are therefore asked by the News
whether we think that this is all
that the laboring classes should
have, and be afforded no opportu.
nifty for laying aside something for
the proverbial ''rainy day." OF
providing for old age. The News
has read our editorial columns te
little purpose if it has concluded
that we support this contention.
Our opinion has always been, and
freely expressed here, that labor
has never and is not now receiving
u just share of the wealth it Gre
ates, but this has nothing TO dc
with the tariff. Throughout al
the ages of the history of civiliza
ton it has been the social scheme
to allow the toiliDg masses only sc
much of the products of their toi
as was sufficient to maintain theil
vitality and productive energy-ir

ror of want that follows close upoI

scheme remains the social policy

We publish elsewhere an article
from the Globe Democrat setting
forth the purpose of State Immi
grafton Agent j. H. Curran to
prosecute certain land speculative
corporations in this county under
custer proceedings. This suit,
which will be watched with much
interest both here and abroad, is
undoubtedly mined at the Potosi
Lead, Barytes aud Mercantile Co. j.,
lately organized under the state
laws. with capitalization of IS,
600, 900, to exploit certain lands in
Washington county. The com
pany has recently absorbed the
lands of the late Am erican Lead &
Baryta Co., and if its purpose is
nothing more than that alleged by
the State immigration Agent, to
utilize the property in stock flo--
tation scheme, the latter will have
the sincere endorsement of all the
people here, not directly interested
in the concerns affairs, in his effort
to prevent such exploitation. We
would welcome corporate capital
here in the legitimate development
of our resources, but there has al
ready been too much of stock flo.
tation upon lands here, and some
of it has approached closely upon
criminality.

Meat Packing.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 Packing houses at Montgomery. un- Ion Springs, Selma, Demopolis, etc.. could obtain animals for slaughter cheaper than Chicago can stock It's yards. There Is the same reason for packing houses In all the prairie re- gtons. between Eufaula and Demopolfs, that there for blast furnaces and coal mines In Jefferson and Walker counties. The argument for cotton mills, near the cotton fields. Is not a more self-evident argument than for meat packing in the prairies of Ala
 A thousand acres of these prairie lands will produce with minimum of labor at least 10000 hogs a year of the full weight for market. That fact Is conclusive of the proposition here advanced.
 Every element Of economy is pre- sent in the enterprise suggested. The subterranean supply of water Is limit less. The transportation for products Is ready. The supply of labor is on hand.

 The Montgomery Advertiser of June 4th says;
 All the railroads of Alabama suffered a in business the roads which contested was considerably smaller than that of those which accepted. The roads which contested had a decrease in total freight revenue of 10 Ss per cent, and not IS. SS per cent, as advanced by the linotype.
 The surrendered roads showed a decrease in the total freight revenue of 22ss per which the politicians promised would come with the rates. Theories which sound ed so fine on the stump have been disas- trOus In practice"
 Well, now then if the roads which con tested sustained Q decrease of 10. sS per tained loss of l2.9s per cent. then. pray. why compel either both, any of these roads to adopt the state made rate, which Ia d lower rate, still. than the rates under which these roads have been operating? Where is the rud of test? The proof k all the roads have lied, why not accept their figures? Why put their business in further perl-testng a thing which has al ready made? Let's get fl plain: Governor Conner and the ratlraod commission agreed with the compromising roads that if they the commission would allow them-twhich he and his commission had no lawful right to dol higher rate than the stAte made rate. This they agreed to- and on this rate they have made test; and the test has proven that their enemies have decreased needed? And yet the administration now insists that they must adopt even a stll lower rate and make another test As were asking How about t?"

admit that one dog has more terror. Tor them than a dozen policemen Afre- dale terriers and German sheen dogs make the best police canfnes. First taught to be obedient, to jump over ob- structions, and to carry mfssives and weightier articles, the dogs are then taught to run errands and in doing so to keep their noses to the ground. Af- ter six months of primary teaching they are ready for the grammar grades. so to speak. where they are taught to follow trail. by dragging piece of learn to seek out the trainer and his assistant. Promotion to the high school of dogdom next follows and they are taught to keep strange trails, to throw down the person they are sent after. and to hold him until the police arrive.
 william A. Pinkerton recently stated that he did not believe there are more than score of first class porch climbers In the United States. He says they usually select the dinner hour. and have spent much time before in learning all about the household they propose 10 invade. The police depart ment of Cleveland, O., has tried a new experiment in the form of a golden rule policy. It Is to be gentle with the first offender. and to take the drunken man home when he is able to go there. instead of taking him to the lock-up. Those who are lot able to go are held until next morning, when they sign a waiver of trial in the Sunrise Court" and are sent home Tn cases where 1t is warranted the offed- CTS are released under their own recog- nizance. In fifteen months the number of arrests declined 6S per cent, and there was no, noticeable increase in lawlessness as a rule. .Sx s
 Council Bluffs. Ia. has a. remarkable auxiliary police force. It serves on holidays without pay, and is made up of bows who wear star badges. A boy has to be good for long term to get on that force. If an offender whom policeman is called and the stern hand of the law takes hold Every boy in Council Bluffs want to be a policeman, and the result has been highly condu- cfve to good citizenship among the male juvenile population of the city.
 The great gathering of the worlds police officials at the St, Louis Worlds Fair has resulted in a better under standing between the police of Europe and America. and they are now co-op- erating in an effort to wipe out every hiding place of the notorious criminals whose operations cover continents as wei las nations. There has been such co operation established that perhaps 10000 of the worlds worst criminals are always under the eye of the inter- national police. Sometimes they get away and out of sight for awhile. but for the most part their whereabouts are known.

SOME MORE BREAKING.

There may be limit to freak legis- lation but if so 1t has not yet been reached. It really seems sometimes that legislators exert themselves to see which can introduce the most absurd bills. and 1t also seems that the Leg islatures Of the different States vie with each in the enactment of fool laws. Not long ago Texas passed a law to regulate the size or length of hotel bed-sheets. and we believe okla homa has tried. or is trying, a law of the same nature. Now comes Flor ida with what ought to be the limit but We doubt If 1t Is. It is thus re- ferred to by a contemporary:
 A mapority of the lower House of the Florida Legislature has passed bill making the Commonwealth responsible for all stolen property, obllging 1t. if pay to each person robbed the value of the goods stolen. It is the duty of ali t6e states to protect their citizens tn tor their lives and property Last year riots, when the State failed properly to carry out its duty fin protecting prop erty during the negro race riots, claims
 
 the courts, but Florida leads the way in attempting to insure that the po- lice deparements all over the State will be able successfully to reform human nature and prevent dishonesty. If this Florida scheme becomes law, a man with goods he wishes to dispose of. by coilusion with a thief, could have them stolen and get paid by the State. Un- der such a law thieves will not steal from individuals. but from the Com monwealth itself.
 We have not been informed of any legislation or attempted legislation. that can go beyond that specimen. It's utter sbsurdity. unfairness and impos- sibility of enforcement are so manifest that we are at a loss to comprehend how men of presumably common sense and intelligence could vote for it. If 1t should become a law there would be no reason for any citizen to try to protect or preserve his own property. He could leave it unprotected and un- l cared for. knowing that f it should | be stolen he could collect it's value ! from the State. Aside from that fea- ! ture of the case we have the still more dangerous one which would arise from the acts of dishonest and interruptions | persons. A man of that kind would not only put in a claim for property he never lost or even owned, hut if he had actually had something Stolen
