NEWARK CIGAR DEALERS OPINION

NEWARK CIGAR DEALERS OPINION
Il think the Legislature did a good
thing when it tpassed that cigarette act, -
said Market street cigar dealer to a
Register reporter, yesterday ''Why so?'
asked the scribe Because" was. the
reply Il think cigarette smoking is
killing our young men. The greatest
injury lies in the paper and then again
the lads smoke more than they should.
1t amuses me to see some of our big men
come in for one cigarette. They ask for
an old Judge, Sweet Corporal, or
Vanity Fair light it, poke out their
stomachs, and throw down bill (often
a ten dollar bilD and talk about the
weather or the quality of the tobacco
in their cigarette. This is one of the
amusing features of cigarette smoking,
but one of the worst for dealers is troop
of boys coursing into his store to see
one of their number buy and light a
cigarette. I, for one am glad that the
law prohibits tobacconists from selling
the cigarette to boys. ."-Neuark Register

The great Republican party was Or
ganized to secure the triumph of certain
great principles, not to be used as the
machinery for the personal elevation of
any man. The disasters which have
befallen the party in this district, have
come from the sacrifice of principle to
the triumph of personality, and we fully
agree with the Independent that it is
more than time that this thing should
cease. Abuse of the great party leaders
is no way to secure the cohesion and CO.
herence of the party If we are to
triumph in the future, internal warfare
must cease, and a perfect union be estab-
lished to wage war against the common
foe.-MilIUille Republican

Tom Perry and Thoroughbreds.

1. j. Perry, Esq, seems to take UNI
bragg ut our remarks last week upon
his ''thOrOushbred' criticism. Now We
gave Mr.. Perry credit for knowing more
than all stock breeders of this county
and Europe combined, yet he does not
seem to think us sincere and goes 90 fan
rs To forget his position and turns to
abusing Us. In such IN ungentIemanly
freak rs this he loses his dignity and
wastes his powder. We would have the
gentleman understand also that it graft.
fics us to know he frankly admits that
he does '.not pretend to be scholar.
And yet his cOnceit leads him to as
sert that BLUE Earth county, with all
its educated men and stock breeders,
do not know the common English
language and cannot publish list cor
rectly." 1t must come with rather poor
grace for man who acknowledges his
own illiteracy to criticise other peoples
"boOk larnin'." Bat ignorance knows
no consistency. But here is where Tom
shows his weakness to an almost mex,
cusable degree. He says:
IL have one proposition to make to
the worthy editor: will bet him from
one thousand to twenty thousand dollars
that the word thoroughbred stands only
for horse or mare whose sire and dam
traces straight back to the Arabian or
Barb horse"
Now the Idea of man proposing to
bet an editor from nee to toenf. thousand
dollars! Why, it Is preposter'pis. News
paper men, rs a rule, are not extensive
holders in government bonds Or bank
stock, and when you talk bet, why of
course you catch EN- short.
Perry should get the word "thorOugh.
bred" copyrighted as applying only To
!'horses or mares whose sire and dam
traces back to the Arabian ar Bari
horse" with foot note that nil Others
are dam frauds, OF else Thoroughbred
will continue TO be applied to pure-brcd
cattle. He should lose nc tiWe in this
matter. as life is too short to speculate
