The Cocaine Habit.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Probably few readers had any previous
knowledge of the prevalence of the CO.
caine habit SO shockingly exposed in the
proceedings instituted by the pharmaceu-
teal board. This drug is OF recent intro
duction, and in certain limited uses 1t
has been found a highly beneicent agent;
in the rapidity with which its abuse has
spread among various classes OF people
it's dangers have come to outweigh great
" all it's benefits The very properties
which make cocaine useful in skillful
hands make it extremely injurious in its
continued constitutional effects. Physi-
clans are aware Of this danger and of
the seductive nature of the drug. and
employ 1t with extreme caution. but all
sorts of quacks have seized upon it to
pander to a depraved appetite. so that
its consumption has been stealthily ex-
tended until 1t has become actually d
public menace.

Opportunities Disdained.

BY day when the sunshine is fiinging
Its great golden gifts to the earth
And the light-hearted robin is singing
A song of contentment and mirth;
BY night, when the stars lightly simmer
And nature seems perfect in plan.
AS the waters sigh low in the gIimmer-
The principal kicker is man.
When the world Is too fair for complaining.
When the blossoms are smiling anew,
The south wind. its sweetness regaining,
Blows kisses to me and to you.
Philosophy's highest employment
IL to show us how intellect can
Make existence a source of enjoyment
Yet the principal kicker is man.

Adjournment.

Mr., Aldrieh is far too sanguine about
early adjournment. The same mistake
was made last year. Several senators
and representatives thought the extra
session would close early in May.
1t did not, as we know. close until Au-
gust Revising the tariff was a bigger
task than many supposed. So now. There
are measures on the card which cannot.
and should not be rushed. They call for
full debate, and many members are pre-
pared to debate them. Hurry often
makes worry. Better take time, with
time a-plenty.

Mayor Gaynor and the Police.
From the New York World.


Should Mayor Gaynor succeed in de-
stroying the corrupt alliance between the
police and the saloons he will have done
more to promote the cause of good gov
eminent in New York than all the other
mayors that the city has had In gener-
alton. For years the saloon has been the
chief element in the decentralization of the
police department and the greatest OBJ
stacle to it's reformation. 1t has been
the systems principal base of supplies
and it's largest source OF Illicit revenue.
The figures furnished Mayor Gaynor by
the liquor dealers themselves show that
they have been paying out nearly $1,000. :
600 year in the way OF police protection
and police blackmail Back of this cor
ruption is an excise law that conflicts
with the wishes and beliefs of 3 majority
of the citizens of Greater New York.
They have never accepted 1t or respected
it. Its enforcement Is generally regarded
as an unwarranted infringement upon
personal liberty, and the police have been
free to sell the privilege of violating it
without arousing much public sentiment
in protest.

Menelik's Death.
From the New Yo-k Times.

Menelik, King Of Abyssinia, was alive
again yesterday. That illustrious de-
scendant Of King Solomon and the Queen
of Sheba. that black Caucasian. who
claims blood relationship with the an
cient Hebrews. has had his obituary no.
tice published. with due emphasis on
the mystery of his descent and his ruler
ship, more times than any of his cotem-
poraries. He mas a genius for seeming to
die Today or tomorrow he may pass
again into the great unknown. Probably
there is no more of mystery about Men
elk than there is about any other po-
tentate A ruler such as he is an
anachronism in the twentieth century,
even in Africa.

Council Grants Permission After
Long Argument; City To Claim
Peoples Phone Conduits.

One of the proposed extensions of
street railway service. the double
tracking OF the llarper-ave. lire. was
approved by the common council.
I Tuesday night. While no alderman
contested the necessity OF the inn
proyement, Aid Allan and others
were in favor of holding this exten.
/ sion uD until the Hamilton boulevard
and Junction lines and other needed
extensions could be brought up and
included in an agreement with the
ID. u. X. After much argument the
measure finally passed. but the dis
position to lump all the other extern
sions was evident Their fate hangs
on the forthcoming proposal by the
ID. u. r.. however. as To how much
money the company is willing TO
spend on trackage.
A lively tilt was precipitated when
Aid Vernon introduced resolution
aiming 10 bring all street railway
matters before the council as a com
mittee OF the whole. Aid HARPER
and others argued that IL would be
better TO have the franchise commit
tee make report first. Vernon lost
by a vote OF % to 10. He then had
his own street railway settlement
plan referred TO the franchise com
mittee.
Aid. Field took a crack" at the
ID. u. Il. by introducing a resolution
calling attention to bad service on the
TrumbullaVe.. line. and requesting
that larger cars be put in service
there.
Aside from the street railway mat
ters, the biggest event OF the meet
ing was the Introduction off an or
dinance by Aid. Trevor which declares
the poles. conduits, etc. OF the Old
Peoples Telephone Co. TO be forfeit
ed TO the city under the terms OF the
franchise. II directs that the public
lighting commission take charge OF
the conduits for the purpose OF rent
ing such portions OF them as are not
required by the city departments TO
private companies at an adequate rem
tai. and also directs the legal depart
ment to investigate the disposal or
such conduits, poles, etc. The ordin-
ance was referred TO the public utlli-
ties and ordinance committees, which
now have the telephone question I'M
der consideration.
The rental sought TO be imposed by
Trevor's ordinance runs from 10 Z
cents per foot OF duct per year.
The Erskine-st, public bath house
was transferred from the charge OF
the department OF public works TO
the park department, the change 10
take effect Feb. /.
Controller Doremus sent in recon-
mendation for an annual inventory or
all city property.
Mayor Breitmeyer suggested gen
eral revision of the ordinances, each
city department to aid by suggestions.
The board OF health sent in a recon-
mendation that the city acquire one
or more incarceration plants for the
disposal OF all refuse. including
manure.
Aid Field requested the prepare
ton OF an estimate for branch
