Can They Afford It2

1t is understood that the republican
legislative caucus has determined to de-
feat reapportionment of the State in
to congressional and senatorial and rep
resentative districts at every hazard.
In secret conclaye in the stiffness of
the night, the representatives of the re-
publican party in the legislature have
resolved to defy the mandate of the
constitution and to ignore the right of
the people TO fair and just representa-
ton.
This midnight conspiracy not only
strikes at the constitutional right of the
people to .reapportionment, but in
wolves the defeat of important measures
of legislation now awaiting considera-
tion in either house of the legislature.
1t has been resolved by these secret
conspirators that no bin, hO'oeoer i0a-
portant, shall be taken up om Of is
order on the calendar. The purpose
of this is plain The consideration OF
apportionment bills is to be delayed as
long as possible or defeated entirely il
that can be done.
But this deep laid scheme will not
succeed. If its success were possible
could the republican party afford tC
take the responsibility 1t can ap
proach success only by blocking legis
lation and killing measures of vast i'm
portance to the state Can the repub
lican party afford to take the blame fol
such an obstruction of the public bus
mess ?-PatriOt.

Mistakes of Smokers.
CIGARS THAT PASS FOR HAVANA NOT
MADE OF TIE REAL ABAJo TOBACCO.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Under the name of Havana" a to-
bacco which grows only in the Vuelto
Abajo district, near the city of Havana,
they purchase all kinds of tobacco that
grow, in Cuba and Cubans will tell you
that some of it is the worst in the world.
Yara, which is fine grade of Cuba to-
bacco, if used when fresh, is worked up
as Havana, but not to so great an eX-
tent as the product of the Vuelo Arri-
ba. There is some of the last named
which has a really fine flavor and taste,
but the leaf is much coarser than the
Havana leaf and much of it is as coarse
in flavor as in appearance. Still, what
flavor it has is, as rule, far superior to
that of tobacco grown in the States and
gives tone to the Connecticut or State
seed, with which it is commonly mixed
to make the ordinary seed and Havana
cigar. Nowadays there is considerable
Sumatra, Jamaica and even Mexican
tobacco used here in the same way, but
probably the bulk of the so-called Ha-
vana mixture comes from the Vuelta
Arriba, as stated, The real Havana,
that from the Vuelto Abajo, is almost
entirely absorbed by the manufacturers
of Cuba itself, the product Of the best
plantations being in fact mortgaged for
years in advance, just as used to be the
case with many cotton plantations in
the South before the war, 1t is safe to
say that very, very little of it ever gets
| into this market.
A very common error among well-to,
do smokers is to suppose that because
they buy an imported cigar they must
get good one. Many of the brands
of imported goods which have had their
run here, such as the Figaro, Espanola,
the Partaga, never were fine grade OF
goods as compared with other Cuban
cigars and many of the limitations made
here and sold for the genuine by the
million were actually better than the
originals.
Some very fine brands of cigars are
imported here from Cuba, but in com
paratively small quantities, the bulk OF
the best goods going to satisfy the es
thetic demands of the royalty and ari
stocracy Of Europe. A familiar example
OF this can be seen in the Napoleones
a very large cigar, which was first
made by Cuban manufacturer for th,
Emperor Napoleon and which cost {
dollar apiece. Every particle of theil
contents was carefully selected anC
handled and an extraordinary price wa,
paid for the workmanship, no gum be
ing used to turn the end with and keeI
it in place.

Jan AND DEMOCRAT, BI IOOMSBURG COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA
wIGGINs' STORM.

Last September, +. Stone Virgins
of Canada, predicted that q terrible
tornado would visit this country in
March, between the 9th and 18th, and
advised all vessels to seek safe harbors
at that time. In accordance with this
advice, the fishing vessels along the
American coast refused to venture out,
and many thousands of dollars were
lost to the trade. Superstitious and
credulous people all over the country
awaited the coming of March 1lth, the
day fixed for the hurricane, with fear
and trembling. The day came, and
proved to be very much the kind of a
day that many March days are.
1t was windy, heavy falls of snow oc-
CURED in many places, there were
heavy floods on the Atlantic coast, sew
eral vessels were wrecked, but all this
is no more than has frequently happen
ed before, during this time of the year.
However, Wiggins is happy, and claims
that he is vindicated, and his prophecy
fulfilled. Other people look upon his
weather predictions as mere nonsense,
and though by mere coincidence, there
was n storm on March llth, there was
nothing remarkable about it. If he had
predicted snow storm in July, aud it
had come, then indeed might his pro-
phetic powers be worthy of notice. The
substance of the whole matter is Just
this, that this country has had about
enough of the weather prophet non
sense.

The Tariff Bill.

The iron manufacturers of Pittsburg
and other cities have been seriously
considering the constitutionality of the
new tariff bill 1t is said that not un-
likely the United States supreme court
will be asked TO pass upon the measure
The secretary of the western iron asso-
citation says he has no doubt of the un-
constitutionality of the bill, and many
able constitutional lawyers, among them
Senator Edmuuds and Representative
Tucker, agree with him. He also has
been informed that Senator Sherman
said he considers the constitutionaity
of the bill doubtful on account of its
practical origination in the senate in
stead Of the house.

Cleveland and New York were con
nected by telephone for several hours
Tuesday afternoon. Gentlemen in
the office of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany in New York spoke and sang
before an improved telephone of the
Baxter patent. A party in the Cleve-
land Office did the same, and their
voices were more distinctly heard in
New York than is usually the case be-
tween connected telephones in that
city. Prof Elisha Gray, inventor of
telephones and patentee of the har-
monte, and other devices in use in the
postal telegraph system, conducted the
experiments. He said their success
was due to the superior conductivity
of the compound wire in use, compos-
ed of steel core, surrounded by cop
per.
Mr.. James Il. Keene was one of the
party, and conversed with friends who
hAi been called into the Cleveland
Office to meet him. G. ii. Rudde, an
electrician in Cleveland, with round,
mellow voice, sang "The Sweet By
and By" and "Auld Lang Syne,' and
his listeners in the New York office
applauded him so heartily that he said
they were jarring down the plastering
In the Cleveland office. The musical
efforts of the New York party were
limited to feeble attempt at whistling,
which the Cleveland men said sound
ed like Wiggln's tempest Telephones
of other pattern were subsequently
tried over the rcuit with the same
success.

John Kelly is not an Irishman, as
many people suppose. On the contrary,
he was born in New York city. In
earlier days he was CRATE setter, from
which humble employment he gradua
ted into politics. He began at the
lowest round as alderman-surely moth
ing can be lower than an alderman
and worked his way up through the
several grades of Sheriff, Comptroller,
and candidate for Governor. Mr.. Kel-
ly is apparently about fiity-6ve or fifty
six years of age, nearly six feet high,
very stout and strong, with sufficient
ly Celtic countenance TO warrant the
excessive caricatures in HoJper's
Weekly and Puck. He wears griz
zly beard clipped very short, dresses
with scrupulous neatness, and is always
hail-felow well-met with crowd, an
assemblage, or group.

too. Men who commit murder should
be convicted, without regard to socia

Stephen w. Dorsey, now on trial at
Washington for the Star route conspir-
acy, made an assault on Judge Lilly
last week Tuesday. Mr. Lilly called
at Mr.. Dorsey's residence accompanied
by friend, Mr.. George f. Brodt, and
they were admitted at once by Mr.. Dor
sey, who invited them to his parlor.
They entered into an animated conver-
sation during which Dorsey had accus-
ed Lilly of obtaining Rerdell as a Gov
ernment witness. Mr.. Dorsey became
excited and dealt Mr.. Lilly blow in
the face. The latter throwing himself
back to avoid the blow, his chair was
upset, and he fell to the floor, when it
is alleged, Dorsey kicked him in the
lower part of the abdomen. Mr. Brodt
interfered and prevented Dorsey from
giving other blows or kicks. Mr.. Lilly
is now about seventy years of age and
is confined to his room by his injuries.
Lilly says he will prosecute Dorsey as
soon as he is able to leave his room,
