SENATOR CARPENTER, OF WISDOM
SIN.
1t is Claimed that He is Killing Himself
With Excessive Use Of TObaccO--What
Personal Friend of the Senator Dis
covered in Washington.
Chicago Tribune.

The Tribune correspondent encoun-
tered a personal friend Of the senator,
few evenings since, who opened con-
versation concerning him with the re-
mark: Matt Carpenter is sick, and
likely to die. He is very sick man, in
deed" The scribe ventured an in
quiry into the nature of Mr.. Carpen-
ter's ailment, and received this as an
answer:
81 tell you that no man can smoke
twenty Havana cigars day, and keep
up the practice, without encountering
certain death. It is hazardous thing
to do, and Matt Carpenter is doing it.
You observe the consequences. Matt
is slave to tobacco, and it is killing
him slowly but surely. He has wasted
so that his limbs have become emaciat-
ed to the semblance of pipe-stems.
They call it rheumatism. Bah! 1t is
tobacco, and nothing else, that has
wasted him away to this extent, and
will continue the work Of destruction un-
til death steps in and claims another
victim. Matt Carpenters ailment can
be traced directly to the inordinate use
of tobacco. | know this because have
|
subject, and am therefore thoroughly
cOnversant with the deleterious effects
Of the weed, at least theoretically. To-
bacco possesses an insidious and destruc-
tive power second only to that of opium.
When it strikes victim it is sure
death. Matt Carpenter, with all his
great brain, does not know this, for the
simple reason that he has not taken the
pains to inform himself. He is slowly
wasting away, and, net knowing the
cause, keeps on smoking. He is killing
himself with tobacco, and his physici-
ans, l fear, keep him in ignorance of the
real cause Of his physical disability.
The condition of Matt Carpenter, us the
result of his fondness for tobacco, is a
source of the most sincere regret to me,
and that is the excuse have to offer
for speaking to you on the subject"

A Terrible Situation.

following story of the Grand Canon:
Charles May and his brother Robert, in
the spring of 1870, offered to pass 3d.
900 railroad ties down the Arkansas from
the mountain source. He says: "Our
offer was accepted, when we started into
the upper entrance of the canon with a
large skiff, provided with six days pro-
visions and 200 feet of rope, with which
by taking running turn around some
firmly planted object, we could lower
our boat 100 feet at time. In this
way, at the end OF three days, having
set adrift many hundred ties, we reach
ed the entrance to the Royal Gorge.
Here we discovered that an attempt to
the boat was certain destruction, and to
return was impossible. Accordingly, /
determined to lower my brother down
the fall in the boat, distance Of 200
feet, gave him the rope, and let him
take the chances of the canon (life
seemed more certain in that direction),
while 1 would risk my physical ability
to climb the canon wall, which was
about 1000 feet high.
"About 10 o'clock in the morning I
shook hands with my brother, lowered
him in the boat safely to the foot Of the
fall, gave him the rope, and saw him
no more. Then throwing aside my
coat, hat, and boots, and stripping the
socks from my feet, commenced my
climbing way, often reaching the hight
of 100 or 200 feet, only to be compelled
to return to try some other
way. At length, about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, [ reached hight upon the
smooth canon wall of about thousand
feet. Here my further progress was
arrested by shelving ledge of rock
that jutted out from the canon side
foot or more. 10 advance was without
hope; to return, certain death. Reach
ing upward I grasped the rim of the
ledge with one hand and then with the
other, my feet slipped from the smooth
side of the canon. and my body hung
suspended in the air thousand feet
above the roaring waters of the Arkan-
sas.
cat that moment [ looked downward
to measure the distance would have
to fall when the strength of my arms
gave out. A singing sensation crept
through my hair as my eye caught the
strong root of cedar bush that project
ed out over the ledge, little beyond
my reach. My grasp upon the rim of
the ledge was fast yielding to the weight
of my person. Then / determined to
make my best effort to aise my body
and throw it sideways toward the root
so as to bring it within my grasp. At
the moment of making the effort [ saw
my mothers face as she leaned over
the ledge, reached down her hand and
caught me by the hair. Stranger, my
mother died while yet a young woman,
when I and my brother were yet small
boys, but I remember her face. was
successful in making the side leap of
my arms, when [ drew myself upon the
ledge and rested for time. From here
upward my climbing was laborious, but
less dangerous. | reached the top of
the canon just as the sun was sinking
down behind the snowy range, and hast
ened to our camp at the mouth of the
canon, where I found my brother all
safe. Charley said he, have you had
your head in a -four sack? 1t was
then l discovered that my hair was as
white as you see it now"

FOSTER AS THE REPRESENTA-
TIVE OF HAYESISM.

The nomination of Charles Foster as
the Republican candidate for Governor
of Ohio, brings fqnarely before the peo
pie of that State for decision at the bal
lot box the question of the Electoral
Fraud of 1876, by which Rutherford B
Hayes was put into the White House
when Samuel ]. Tiiden hsa. kssaSs.ss:s
by the people.
1t has been said that this great qups.
ton is not raised so boldly or broadly by
the nomination OF Mr.. Foster as it would
have been by the nomination of John
Sherman, but this is not so. 1t is true
John Sherman was most conspicuous
agent in the perpetrstion of the fraud,
and he is also the leading member Of
Hayes's Administration 30 that vote
for or against him would be almost az
distinctly a vote for or against the Fraud
as would be vote for or against Hayes
himself. But while in comparison with
Mr., Sherman, Mr.. Foster has been class
ed as rather secondary agent Of Hayes,
yet he was so early, SO thoroughly, and
so deeply identified with the entire vii
lainy, that the people Of Ohio cannot go
wrong in the matter, Foster and Hayes
are one. .. l.I
Those electors of that State who sp,
prove of making Presidents by fraud.
who believe in nullifying the decisions
Of the ballot.boX by forged certificates
aud falte counting, ought, by all means,
to vote for the election of Mr.. Foster;
while those Of different opinion will
not fail to vote against him. Which Of
these two classes form the majority Of
the people OF Ohio will be known after
the election In October next.-M r SUM-

That the distinctive "fiber" paper used

and other papers, treated these state

livered at Tammanv Hall last evening
by Mr.. j. X. II. Wilcox, Corroborates
them in every particular, and throws a
food of light upon the secret transac'
lions of the Bureau, that ought to result
in the prompt adoption of measures to
bring the guilty to punishment, and sup
ply adequate safeguards against the fur
1
ther commission of such iniquities.
Mr.. Wilcox speaks with an intimate
knowledge derived from familiarity with
the operations Of the bureau, and per-
feet 81 acquaintance with the facts 30 far as
they we're revealed by the repeated ef'
forts to investigate the workings OF this
branch of the Federal service, His tes'
timony is given from no other motive
than that of a sincere desire to break up
an infamous ring which has long prosti'
tuted its opportunities to the basest pur'
poses. What he com muniCates is not
pleasant information for the American
people, but he nevertheless deserves
their gratitude for making this exposure
"a gratitude which can be best shown by
q popular demand for an early and ex-
haustive iDquisition.

noting any proposed inquiry is the head
of the Treasury Department himself
He has recently written a Letter. an

exist of a conspiracy in his own depart
ment 10 utter fraudulent notes as a bri.
berry fund, for use during the political
campaign and at the polls on election
day, his platform merits nothing bnt
contempt. What Mr.. Wilcox has reveal
ed is nobody's business 20 much as John
Sherman's, and from the responsibility
it imposes upon him there is no relief,
save through an official disclosure of the
whole truth, and rigid prosecution Of
all who may prove to have been impli'

they are building Southern Pacific road,
now completed to Arizona, and other
lines by which they are controlling the
