The strike is for an advance in wages, the

SENATOR EUsTIs, OF Louisiana, has. il seems
declared war on the administration. Louis.
lana politics became thoroughly corrupt
when the Republicans had possession of that
State. The corruption found full fruition
in the Presidential contest OF 1876, when
Tilden and Hendricks were swindlsd out of
their election. The Chicago Herald, in re-
ferring to Eustis and Louisiana, says: "Prss-
ident Cleveland is fortunate In many ways
in having the first declaration of war on his
administration come from Louisiana. The
politics Of that State has been as corrupt and
degrading as any that history has ever taken
note cf. and it has produced more liars. per-
jurers, selfish placehunters and disreputsbles

AN Eastern paper recently advised smol.
srs 10 use light celored cigars. Among other
reas. ns II gave were, first, that The light
cigar was milder than tho dark grades. and,
sec nd, that IL was not deleterious In It's
effects. This brought out IAN old cigar
manufacture" whose experience is per-
hsps valuable TO smokers. He asserts that
the color Of a cigar really gives no reliable
information concerning q cigar. The filler,
he says, constitutes fully four.ftths OF the
cigar, which may be largely, and often
wholly OF dark leaf consequently, the light
wrapper can not overcome the strong, dark
filler, however mild the wrapper may be.
And, vice verss, the dark Wrapper can not
overcome the light filler, which may con.
stitute, as in the former case, four-ifths of
the cigar. The "old cigar manufacturer"
contends that the only sure test of cigar is
to smoke it. All dark leaf isnot strong, nor
Is all light leaf mild. Some dark leaf is lees
strong than some light Leaf. The sweating
process through which the leaf is passed
previous to its manufacture into cigars dark.
ems at the same time that Ii mellows the
strong and offensive rsnkness that il found
in the nevly.cured leaf Consequently,
some darker leaf is found to be less strong
than some light leaf Hence, the color of
the cigar, in any and every case, Is not q
criterion by which a man can selec. a mild
from strong cigar.
