picture Is too terrible to look on, and we turn
away in horror and disgust at the brutality
and vileness of that human monster, the
smoker.
It was King James, we think, that de-
nounced tobacco as the invention OF the devil
That worthy monarch HES hardly done Justice
| to the nOxlOuS weed.
| We are inclined to think, however, that
Equity" treats the smoker too gently.
man has been working hard all day long, he
| is tired and worn out; q little smoke before
dinner will refresh and revive him. Equity
thinks that instead of allowing this man to
get into a smoking ear" and smoke he should
be made to walk home, If he wishes to enjoy
his cigarette. We do not agree with him in
this. Smoking in the street is equally ObjeC
| tOnabe tOsmOking in the car; ladies passing
by may get the smoke in their faces, and the
frequent expectoratOns Of the smoker are
| extremely revolving to many. Several Mas
saChusetts towns have passed ordinances pro-
hibiting smoking at all in the streets; why
should New Orleans hesitate to follow their
glorious example, and protect those score or
more persons who object to tobacco smoke?
Some people might be disposed to pardon
the smoker-maybe the fellow don't know
how offensive he is-we cannot. His glaring
selfishishness in asking the right to smoke in
one car out of four is a disgusting exhibition
of the vilCnGss to which a man can descend
when he has once begun to use pipe"
careful study of the Lake cars shows us
that the smoking car is always crowded, often
with ladies'; that about one person in ten OBJ
iects to tobacco smoke, The city railroads
allow this one person three cars, and gives
the nine others one. We think the division
unequal and unfair. Ladies' are thus often
compelled to wait two minutes for q car, be-
cause they do not like the smell Of tobacco
AS Equity" remarks, this is manfestIy
wrong, "a discrimination against those who |
do not like tobacco smoke" Why should be |
compelled to wait two minutes for q car be-
cause sixty Thousand persons like a cigarette |
Just before dinner The outrage is intoler-
able moro than mortal can stand. 1t mustbc
ended.

SMOKING CARS.


To the Editor of the Democrat: 4
Is it true that the respectable, gontIcmanIy
portion Of those who smoke are 50 selfish OF
unmindfu of the comfort and rights of Others
as to require certain cars to be designated as
a smoking carr" / hope it is not 50.
These cars being public vehicles, any per
son who conforms to the common known pro-
prCties of the place has a right to travel in
them without being Su6Iectto annoyance from
any one. This Is a right which no gentleman
fails to respect, and it is one which the com
pany have no moral or legal right by any
means to infringe. While they permit smok-
ing in some OF their cars, it operates as an eX-
CuSOn from those cars of all persons to
whom smoking is offensive. Now all who are
thus excluded, whether sick or we'll old OF
young; whether it rains or shines, and how
ever urgent their business, must either wait
for a ear in which smoking is not allowed, or
take the chance of inhaing the fumes of de-
testably strong pipes or that OF cigars OF the
YiloSt quality.
There are those whose sense of prOpricty is
scarcely sufficient to restrain them from
smoking in the face Of dying mother, and it
Is this class which renders it necessary for
the company to attach the prohibitOry order
to all their cars. While all have an equal
right to breathe the atmosphere in as pure a
state as the nature Of the case will admit, it
is manifestly wrong for the company to sane
ton any practice which operates as a dis
elimination against those who cannot endure
an atmosphere which is rendered grossly i'm
pure by such practice. EQUITY.
AS friend Of the people, pledged to expose
all wrongs, to denounce all evils, the DEMO
GRAFT cannot overlook this mOnstrOu5 outrage
to which Equity" calls attention. We are
glad to see that we are to have the valuable
assistance Of the Pcnyune in war on
smokers. The PiC0yone has dOnned the armOr
for the fight and rushed into the fray with
we fear-a courage almost too desperate and
impetuOus. 1t takes gross outrage like this
to arouse the Picdyune Such trivial things
as abolition of hGbeas corpus, Imprisonment
without trial by jury, it cares little for but
when the street railroad companies outrage
public decency by allowing persons to smoke
on some of their cars, the Picayune arises in
its might as the champion and defender OF the
rights Of the people
We think our friend Equity" in his de-
scription Of the smoker, has failed to do full
justice to the depravity Of that monster. We
agree with him in his opinion that such a
man will puff smoke in the face OF dying
mother"j We firmly believe that he will do
this from the very worst and strongest pipe;
and that he will even drop the hot ashes on
her. We belieye-but why say more: The

who had In Il Written and proclaimed himself
O Sco'Wdret for public office. The
Senator seems to have committed himself
to friendly relations with the Felciana super
visor when of the opinion that he was suffer
ing for doing his duty. At the moment the
the proof that he was a sCOundrel, and that he
had documents that seemed TO have been eX-
pressly prepared TO assail the title of the
President and throw the country into confu
sion, II he was not rewarded according to his
own estimate of services. In other words,
Anderson proposed to blaCllmail the admins
tratiOn, and exposed his hand to Senator
Matthews who had the incredible weakness
to submit to his rascally impudence.
This is the language Of an apoIOgist. But
suppose we eliminate tho words "duped,"
"bIunder, Incredible weakness" and similar
expressions. and write out the confession here
made in plain English and what Is the re-
suit? The idea of Anderson "duping" Stanley
Matthews won't exactly go down. What
chance had Anderson to dupe him, even If the
thing had been possible? Matthews knew as
much about it all as Anderson ever did, and q
great deal more. But the case needs no argu-
ment, and may be safely submitted con the
DADGrS."

The River and HarbOr Bill.
ICOurier-J Journal.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The river and har.
Dor bill, as reported by the Senate committee,
has an amendment providing for a commits
sion of five engineers to make surveys and
consider plans for the correction of the per-
manent location and deepening Of the chan
mel Of the Mississippi river, and the improve
ment of navigation; also plans and esti-
mates for immediate works to close outlets,
gapI and CrevaSscs in the levees or banks,
and if the plans are approved, the President
is to cause the immediate construction Of
such works. The commissioners are also to
fix upon general plan. The members of the
Louisiana delegation are at work to secure an
additional amendment to this bill, appropri-
ating some 100000 for repairs of levees,
and are hopeful that the Senate will agree to
it. 1t is possible that the amendment will be
offered by Senator Bruce who is chairman Of
the Levce Committee.

Tho fancy OarSmen have boon badly got
away with by four Scrub bOatmen of Mon
roe, Mich american clubs having been in
vited to participate this year in the famous
Henley regatta in England, the Watkins Row.
ing Association arranged q regatta last week.
at which crews were to compete for the honor
Of going to London at the clubs expense The
single scull race was won by q Newark man.
and the double sculI by two crack oarsmen
from the Atalanta Club. The result of the
four-oarcd race is told as follows by the New
York Sun
But when the fOur-Oared race was called
there aDDcarcd the crew of the ShO-wae-caC-
mette Club of Monroe, MiChigan-fOur small,
wiry, dark COmplexiOned French Canadians.
They had an Od-fashiOned, heavy wide rae
ing boat with mmOvable seats. 1t compared
very unfavOrably with the beautiful shell Of
the Atalantas, with its polished outriggers
and sliding seats. They were unframed phys
iCally, smoked, drank gin and brandy, and ate
whatever the Watkins landlord put before
them. They violated all the rules laid down
for modern Oarsmen. In the boat every man
seemed to be pulling on his own hook. They
rowed without form and without grace but
with astonishing power and endurance.
Forty strokes to the minute is fast action in a
boat race, These men with perfect ease
r0wed fifty, and showed that they might have
pulled lifty-fivc if they had been pressed to it.
As it was, they defeated the Atalantas with
ridiculous ease, and are to sail to-day for Lv-
erpoOl to represent America in the fOur-Oared
race at Henley. They are unQu"stionabIy the
best four men that ever rOwcd together in our
waters.
The half of London that goes down to Hen
ley on the fourth OF July will laugh at the
ShO-WaC Cao-mCtteS, Their puny forms and
uncouth actions and devil-may-care habits
are in marked contrast to the superb physique
and careful training of the admired amateurs
of the old country, whose daily diet is printed
in the newspapers for a fortnight before the
rowing begins.
1t would be sad blow to the fancy clubs if
these scrawny Canadians should snatch the
Henley hOnors from them by pure strength
and awbwardncss.

We are panied to learn, though it was not
unexpected, that David NJ. Callahan died this
morning. After the war Mr., Callahan came
to Baton Rouge, from Clinton La, and be-
came O law partner of the late James O.
Fuqua A short time after he entered into
the active practice of his profession here he
married daughter Of our esteemed fellow
citizen, Major S. M. Hart. A few years after
he removed to Shreveport, where he soon
built up good practice, and, in 1874,
was nominated for district Judge by the
drew in order to facilitate compromise
and make certain the success of his party
and his people. Within the last two
years his health commenced failing him and
last year he returned with his family to
Baton Rouge, where he has remained ever
since with the exception of u brief trip Of
two or three months through Texas for the
benefit of his health Thus has passed away
young man with bright future before him,
and who was worthy Of any trust that his
people might have placed In his hands.
Warm hearted, generous and patriotic at all
times mono stood higher than he among his
people. He leaves q wife and two children
and large circle of relatives and friends to
mourn and regret his loss. His bereaved
family have our sincere sympathy In the sad
sad aflliCtOn thus entailed upon them.
We find this sad annOunCCmGntin the Baton

known Mr.. Callahan long and well, and sin
cereIy depIore his untimoly death. Generous
brave and inCorruptible, his death Is loss to
our State, especially at this time. when true
men are sorely needed. We feel that there is
one good man less in the world.

Getting silver Dol,ars In Circulation.

WASHINGTON June THE Treasury is do
ing all it can to get the standard silver dollar
into general circulation, but is not meeting
with any great success. Very few are de-
sirOu5 of possessing the bulky coin, prefer
ing greenbacks. With a view to getting the
coin circulated, the Department applied to
the first controller Of the treasury for de-
cision as to whether, under the law, the silver
dollar could be used in paying for the trans
portation Of coin. The decision Is in the
affirmative. In accordance Herewith, the
Department orders that all amounts for the
transportation of coin from the minis to the
treasury, or various sub-treasuries and de-
pOsitortes, be paid in standard silver dollars.
The Philadelphia Times, an able and int1u-
entail independent journal, characterizos the
testimony Of Anderson, concerning the cleo

bic for sounds to be canned the same as beef,
