The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1882-05-10

A story has been going the rounds
of the papers concerning a youth
who smoked forty cigarettes without
cessation, and nearly lost bis life in
consequence. Whether the life so
recklessly >lisused was worth pre-
serving, Is an open question II is
a sad fact that the cigarette-consum-
ing youth is on the increase. II Is
considered smart 10 be a cigarette
consumed youth II is deemed the
height of manliness to waste ainbi-
ton and destroy vigor with smoke
and such smoke. The cigarette-con-
sumed youth thinks he is attractive
and supposes that the small parcel
of brains which has escaped the In
fluences of nicotine furnishes the
worlds thought at least the SUI
perficial, unreal world in which he
moves. He thinks mother will pet
him all the more, his sister viii hu-
NOR him, and all the girls adore him
because he IS cigarette-consumed.
The rising generation promises to be
largely composed Of cigarette-con-
sumed young men unless stringent
measures are taken tocounteract ex-
Isting tendencies. 1t were better
that Mother Shipton had been right
or that the sun hurry up and reach
the earth than such result trans
pire- 1t would be vastly better for
the young man to be consumed than
cigarette consumed The cigarette
consumed young man Is a bore and
the world is tired of seeing him
around.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
From Our Special Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 20.
The President is away at Fortress
Monroe witnessing the maneouveres
of some ships Of war, and, cannot
practice at targets. Congress is pro
ceeding with its usual humdrum
slowness towards the end of the Sc 8
sion.
The interest of the press, and con-
sequently OF the country, is centered
in the investigation that is going on
before the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. This is the circus. Mr..
Blaine is the leading performer.
Congress is merely side show now.
Yesterday Mr.. Blaine told Mr..
Belmont, who has been conducting
the examination, that he bad spoken
untruthfully, and that he was not
a gentleman. Mr.. Belmont replied
that he was bully and coward,
and that he would settle with him
in private for his insulting language.
To day the quarrel is the absorbing
subject OF conversation at the Csri-
toll, and about the Hotels opinion
being somewhat divided on politi-
cal lines, but not all Republicans in
Washington are Mr.. Biaine's friends,
many of them taking sides with
Conkling ina quarrel of very old
standing. 1t is very generally be-
lieyed that Mr.. Belmont viii chal-
lenge Mr.. Blaine, and the almost
universal opinion is that Mr. Blaine
will pay no attention to the cllal-
lenge. Mr.. Belmont is q young
man, the son of the millionaire OF
that name, who has figured promi-
nently for years in New York Dem
ocratic politics. Last night he cali
ed upon Senator Butler, from South
! Carolina, who is a remote relative of
his, and requested him to act as his
friend in an affair of honor between
himself and Mr.. Blaine. Senator
! Butler called some of Mr. Belmont's

a STALE ISLANDER.

The editorial tone Of ths Assumption
Pioneer is usually so conservative, hon
orable aud fair that we felt no little sur
prise at finding IN the columns Of its
latest issue M intemperate diatrib.eg
directed against Senator Kellogg, wherein
an exploded Islander is revived III
these words:
The massacre of the colored people in the
parish Of Grant. some years since, was brought
veneefni feelings against tie white people Of
might profit at the elections, BY raisine the cry
of the bloody shirt.
The followers of judge Beattip have
been ringing the changes OH this same
calumny ever since the pending CAM
paign was opened, and now that such
respectable journal as the Assumption
Pioneer has joined in the Chorus, it is
perhaps we'll that tho evidence which
shows the utter falsity of the imputation
should he again cited.
The grava,ncn of the charge against
Senator Kellogg is that, while Governor
of the State, lie issued two sets Of COM
missions to persons claiming to have
been elected to parochal Offices in tie
parisl, of Grant-one set to Republican
claimants, the other to Deinocratic-and
that the conflict of authority which
| arose by reason Of this action precipta-
ted the disgraceful and terrible affair
which has since borne the appropriate
| title of the Colfax massacre.
It will be remembered that some OF
the alleged participants i'll this massacre
were subjected to trial before the United
States Court ii, New Orleans, Judge
| Woods presiding. III his charge to the
jury the judge made u Short statement OF
the facts which were admitted by botl
the prosecution and the defense, and
from this portion Of his remarks VIC
make the following extracts:
About the 25th of March. 1878. one Shaw
claimed to be Sheriff and one Register Judg o.
the parish of Grant. Before that time Coium
bus L. Nash and Alph1nse Gazapa1, noth g
case had claimed to be, the former Sheriff, ant
the latter Judge Of the same perish, holding q
it seems c0n,pissfcns signed " Cor. a. =
Warmofh, and they had exercised the duties 9
their respective offices. In the month Of March
1873, application had been made to Coy. WI
liam p. Kellogg by friends OF Nash and Cazabet
for their appointment to the offices of Sheriff
and Judge respectively, srhich appointment Cor
KELLOGG refused to make. and instead commits
stoned ShdtC and Register.
In the face Of such indubitable testi
mony rs this the claim that Gov. kel
logg was responsible for the Grant paris
conflict falls to the ground, and fai
minded newspapers and men will ceas
to make use of such q patent SANDER.

AoKLEN,s TARIFF ATTITUDE.


In discussing the attitude assumed "
Mr.. Acklen in his speech at Donaldson
Vile on the 18th inst, ne commended that
the plank Of the Democratic platform
calling for tariff fur revenpe only {
virtually means free trade, and that
under a logical application of the Demo-
cratic principle the tariff on home sugar
would be removed and the production Of
that staple in Louisisl,n l'eeoms nnprofi-
table. Mr.. Acklen declared himself 2
protectionist OF tho straitest sect. and for
this, among other reasons, we asserted
that he placed himarlf ssaarely ON the
Republican platform aud at variance
with the e"unciated principles Of the
marty to which he and his supporters
avow allegiance.
The New Orleans Tines Democrat of the
10th inst, published what purported to
he u verbatim report of Mr.. Acklen's
speech, occupying six columns in small
type and comprising about all the orator
did say, together with 8 great deal that
he didn't. Glancing ever this report we
find accredited to tie speaker the candid
declaration, in SO many words, that "A
tariff for revenue only means free trade"
We feel quite snre Mr.. Acklen did not
make this nnequivocal admission in his
speech, else we should have been saved
the trouble Of tledifcing-a conclusion that
is boldly announced in the amplified
| written text of his remarks. At all
| events, it will he apparent that Ills
| estimate Of the true pnrport Of the Demo.
cratic tariff plank is SO identical Will
that of tho CHIEF that it finds expression
in language precisely similar to that
used by this paper.
According to the printed speech--wlicl
was evidently prepared By Mr.. Ackler
llimselc-l,e declared that, The qnesto,
Of tariff for protection or for revenue
only, will surely mark the dividing linz
between parties in the near future
and, further OH we discover tho assertio,
that, !" II men agree OF certain genera
principles, they may harpcnize thei
conflicting views in matters Of detail
but advocates of free trade and those Q
protection are as widely apart as til
heavens and the EARTH"
Ergo, Mr.. Ackien aud his supporters
who advocate protectiop, are as widel
separated from the platform Of the Demo
cratic party, which advocates free trade
as are the heavens FROM the earth.
