Teat brilliant periodical Life, and It really la brilliant In Its frivolous way, which amuses but does not require much thought, has Just launched the following tirade: Gen.

The prevalence of the drug vice may be expected to follow the general looseness of murals caused by the liquor and other vices. The drug vice may not always be manifested in Ibe same victims as ibe others, but it la nevertheless Just aa truly fostered by their presence. Ogden has a problem before it right now, but the problem will grow greater Instead of smaller the longer It remains unsettled. It will still remain unsettled unless the better class of cltlxens succeed, by protests In the form ot letters and petitions.

These three classes are constantly using all their Influence and bringing to bear on the officers of the p law to favor them In all poMdhto ways, and until the time comes that officers ere especially elected, not to favor these classes hut to rigidly enforce the law against them. Just as they now do toward other petty criminals, we may expect that our officers will succumb to the baser Influences. The more boldly Insistent tbeae three classes arc. and the mure complacent the offleera toward them, the sooner will our dtlsena become displeased with the state of affairs, or at least so one would Imagine. And yet there are cities In tbs I'nitcd States that si so badly governed that a good cllisen will suffer much discomfort and many indignities rather than Invoke the aid of the police, because those officer can and do make life more burdensome for the Innocent citizen than the other criminal.

He wuuld have greatly preferred living lu a small flat and whacking up with some of the poorer clergy, or devoting what he could save out of his Income to charity, but the rule aud traditions of the church do not admit of such beneficent arrangement. He has had to waste n pile of money on things he does not need and fer which he no use. He finds himself growing poorer every day on f&b.OOo n year.
