Tliroughont nil the diseusfuon o thu (incation of liconsiug tho opium trnfiic, in ninny years, lifllo or no tangible ronson 1ms boon given in support o tho theory flint such n clinngo from prohibi tion would put n stop to smug gling. If tho drug veroinndo cheap under a liconso system, or com paratively froo trade in it brought about, there would bo room for argument in support of that theory. The measure now ponding in tho Legislature, however, does not comply with any such conditions. It fixes an enormous ad valorem duty of ono hundred porcent on opium, which in itself places tho drug in tho vory highest class of luxuries for taxation. In its bulk relative to valuo opium would un dor such a tax bo far abovo cigars in comparison as an incentive to smuggling. Indeed, it would not bo a comparison but n coutinst. Yv'ilh such a tax upon it, there would bo more com parison with silk, ns nn under ground commorcinl commodity. Thero is not only tho liugo tariff tax proposed tq place a premium on illicit trnfiic, but ihe internal revenue tnx in tho form of prodigious license fees for running opium joints. These fees muouut for all tho iHlnuds nt tho upset price that miry bo far exceeded in competition 'to sixty thousand dollars. Bo sides these heavy import and liceuso taxes thoro is a stamp tux of ono dollar for every lialf-pound of opium imported. Prohibition can surely go no fur ther in giving tho drug a fictitious value,promising lucrative gnins to tho daring and skill of tho smug gler, than such ponderous taxa tion ns thnt horo dotailod. Tho idea that tho licensed dealors from their self-interest can better pre vent smuggling than tho Gov v eminent for tho sake of its good name carries an insulting implication to both tho Govern ment ond the country, and does no credit to tho sngacity of those who promulgate tho idle notion. There is not tho least doubt to take up another phaso of tho ques tion that licensing would great ly increuso tho consumption of the drug. Is this desirnblo ? Is any class, tho smallest proportion that is worthy to bo mentioned in argument, of tho population suf fering for want of easy access to opium ? Tho greatest good to tho greatest uumbor is interpreted po- litcally to mean whatever tlio do-sires- good or bud of tho greatest number aro.By this criterion alone, then, tho licensing of opium ought to bo ruled summarily out of court.

Undor tho relaxation of liconso, however, tho community at largo would bo sore ly pained nt results of tho trnfiic that would soon bo universally patent. Those who aro apprehen sive of tho ond of existing Asiatic aggression should opposo opium license Nothing, scarcely, could go further than legalized opium joints toward Asinticizing tho community. Steamship business between tho Pacific Coast and tho Orient seems to bo in nn ovordono condition. On her maiden trip from Snu Francisco, tho Occidental and Orient. .1 Company's s-lennifhip Doric, chartered from the Whito Star line, had only 500 tons of freight and was under tho necessi ty of taking a quantity of ballast aboard. Competition has brought cabin pnsago down from 8300 to S200, while Chinese who used to pay S100 for steerage now only pay S50.

But the point is just this: Our perfect work is so appreciated, that wo find our present facilities are just a lit tle too small to handle thu large volumo of work with dis patch; so we aro going to en largo tho department, and WANT YOUR WORK also. Seethe point? Excellence tho tup notch of perfection that's the tnngnet which drawj, and the only one we use. If you could only realize how much worry we can save you by bringing your timepicco to us in the fust placo, you would not hesitato an instant, when things have gone wrong, but bring your watch to us at once. Complicated work is our spe cial delight. The watch 1ms not yet been mndo, which wo cannot handle in a proper and workmanlike manner. Today wo do all work which up to a few years ago had to bo sent away; in so.mo cases ovon to the factory where the watch was mane. io amount ot bragging on our part could bo as convincing to you, as tho great number of watches, of a complicated order, which have been perfectly repaired by us in tho past few j'ears and of which tho owners will tell you, that they aro PERFECTLY DONE.

A church congregation clown in Sanders, Ky., was dismissed most summarily under un pleasant circumstances two Sundays since. Right intheljfLJSl middle of the preacher's dis course there bolted into the church through the half-open door what appeared to be a black and white cat, closely followed by a yellow dog. Cat and dog ran swiftly down the middle aisle to the platform. The preacher taken unawares, did the natural thing, kicked at the cat, hit it, and landed it squarely in the middle of the congregation. Then it turned out that the cat was a skunk. The rest of the story is left to the imagination of the reader. This week we want to call your attention especially to the Alaska Refrigerator and give you a few items concern ing its construction. To give strength and. dura bility, an inside body, or frame is made of well dried, matched wood, to which hardwood cleats are solidly nailed. Uport these cleats the outer body, or frame, is built. The inner frame is made from perfectly odorless wood, and is lined with zinc. Po lished as bright as a mirror, presenting a very clean and at tractive appearance. All exposed wood, as under j the lids and about the doors, is odorless tulip poplar, thoroughly shellaced. This makes the Refrigerator clean and sweet. Between the outer and inner walls there is an inch and a half space filled with PURE Charcoal. There is nothing so oood in every way for fil ling the space between the two walls ol a Refrigerator as Pure Charcoal. The locks are entirely new in principle, and are, without exception, the best ever used on a Refrigerator. They will keep the door closed perfectly' tight, even, if they were left one-eighth inch loose. The hinges are very strong, beautiful in design, and- made expressly for Ihe Alaska Refrigerator. All the trimmings are- solid brass, dipped finish, this being the latest style in fine brass goods. From, the results of tests made during the past three years, we are convinced that the Alaska is the best Re frigerator in the market, in construction, in pawer to pre serve perishables,, in economy of ice, and, in fact, in all the: points necessary to make them, first-class in evecy respect.
