Campaign Against Opium.

The great Chinese campaign against
opium fares v~ariously in different
parts of the empire. In some provinces
the demand for opium continues as
great as ever, and efforts are made
to meet It without official interference.
But In Pekin, so far as hospital ex-
p%erience goes, one might say that Cpl
um smoking had almost disappeared.
The fact is that the Chinese seem to
be ashamed of the use Of the drug
now, and hesitate to seek treatment.
1t is estimated that three-tenths of the
people have stopped smoking and
about eight-tenths of the officials.
Among army officers the habit seems
to be entirely abolished. In Pekin
the number of opium dens is about
half of what 1t was IS months ago.
They are all against the law. and the
native newspapers frequently note
raids on them by the police. The pun
ishment inflicted is generally a Sc fine
or a months Imprisonment. The price
of the drug has increased from 35 to
so per cent.

COUNTY OPTION IN NEBRASKA.

COUNTY OPTION IN NEBRASKA.
County option is a direct challenge
TO the liquor business in politics.
The liquor business is so tangled up
with politics hat to attack the one
is 10 attack the other. The two
stand shoulder 10 shoulder in Ne
braska and especially in Richard
son county. The representatives OF
the moneyed interests can always be
counted upon TO render all possible
help to the liquor side. And the
people need not be surprised to find
their wet representatives lined up
solidly for the corporations and
against the people.
The men elected for the time be
ing constitute the party. Therefore
every nan seeking office at the dis
posal of the people should on every
occasion possible be called upon TO
go ON record upon this crucial point.
Then il We are beaten at the polls,-f
the majority of the people say by
their votes that they perfer liquor and
corporation control-well and good. 1t
is the will of the people and We ac-
cept the situation with as good grace
as possible. and prepare for another
fight
But there must be no hedging, no
boating about the bush. We must net
agree to send a man by our suffrage
TO Lincoln who is free to use his
discretion. Invariably he will find
it advisable. when once there To cast
his cause With the corporations and
the liquor interests. Make every can
didate publicly commit himself aud
thus place a sure hedge about the
peoples interests at the capital.
County option means more than
merely driving out the saloons. It
Is essential democracy in government.
It puts into the peoples hands the
control of their own business. il
breaks down the wall that has long
separated the people from their af-
fairs. 1t strikes a deadly blow at
bossism. Il makes 1t impossible, or
at least more difficult for interested
parties to barter away the health and
happiness of entire localities for
purely personal ends. 1t Is a~dircet
means whereby the people may get
back out of the hands of The bench
men and party bosses the control Of
their own city affairs. County option
is right in principle and effective in
practice, Why should any intelligent
class of freeholders hesitate for one
moment to emaneipate themselves
from the trammels Of q system which
for years mas spelled only humilia-
ton and defeat?
Every one of the sophistries of
the liquor interests, whereby they
kept the masses in their power for
years are being successfully driven
into the limbo darkness and supersti-
ton where they belong, The com
mon sense and intelligence of the
American people will prevail. The
public schools, the pulpits and the
press are spreading the light. The
people will choose the right.

OUR POLICY.

Since The Tribune has passed into
new hands. naturally many Of its old
friends and supporters are more or
less concerned about the general pol
icy of the new management. While
it is scarcely possible, and If it were
possible would not be advisable, at
the present stage of our experience
and knowledge of the business to fix
upon n set of hard and fast rules for
directing Il course in the future, we
nevertheless hold firmly to the on
viction that the people can be trust
cd aud we mean TO freely and frankly
take the public into our confidence in
all matters pertaining to the public
veal.
We believe in representative gov
eminent that represents. We be.
lieye in the rule Of the majority,
honestly obtained and applied with
out bias or favor. Furthermore, We
believe in the precedence Of the
best always in sane and progressive
legislation and administration. We
insist upon the practieing of that
kind of economy which returns to
the people one hundred cents worth
of honest service for every dollar
of their money expended.
We believe in the greater west,
and insist ON maintaining the integ-
rity of western ideals and the west
ern type. In the present political
sehism we are with the western lead
ers who are fighting In the interests
of the people. The republieanism Of
Lincoln and Garfield and our own
Cowboy Teddy is quite enough for
us. We approve the action of in
surgent congressman in opposing ey-
cry effort on the part of the re-
actionarios to pass legislation pre-
judicial to thhe interests of the
masses. The people are superior to
any party and the peoples interests
should never be sacrificed in behalf
of partyism.
In the present county option fight
we are simply following the previous
policy of The Tribune to its logical
conclusion. The American saloon has
proven itself to be an un-American in
stitution. II is an e~xescense on
our body politics, a noisome sore on
our social and industrial fabric. The
knife is the only final remedy. There
fore we have only one argument for
the saloon,-eut 1t out and cast il
away.
One of the functions of every news
paper is, what it's name implies, to
furnish the news. 1t is N of the
public's chief entertainers. But the
role of a public caterer is always a
difficult me. We shall not attempt
to satisfy everybody. we hope we may
please some. We will endeavor to
avoid what is vicious and extrava-
CANT and serve our patrons with
wholesome news, such as will inn
prove the mind and warm the heart
of the reader.
We would not forget in conclusion
that the chief function of every news
paper is that of leader. The press
is a moulder of public opinion. The
Tribune recognizes the responsibility
implied. We only hope the sequal
may prove us worthy.
