Grover Cleveland once said the "otBce-
holders arc the agents Of the people"
He also warned them that as such agents
they must not use their official positions
to forward political purposes. 1t seems
that he did not mean it, but was merely
perpetrating one OF his harmless civil
service reform jokes. Atleast the Office
holders are going along in the old way
regardless of orders and warnings. SEN
ator Kenna has sent out his circulars to
the postmasters of this State asking for
political information, and now comes
this nice morsel OF reform from Wiscon-
sin. 1t is delightful reading. The cir
cular which has been sent out says:

The Pittsburgh Dispatch, in speaking
of the settlement Of the glass lockout,
says:
The long flint glass strike has been
settled at last and the locked-out work
ers in Pittsburgh, to the number of ], 200
will all go to work on Tuesday morning
1t was victory for the workers, although
they have lost over half million dollars
in wages since the trouble commenced.
The settlement, it is believed, will con.
tinue for fully ten years, as no further
trouble is expected

THE present rise in securities of all
kinds in the New York market is attrib-
utcd to unusually large investments OF
European capital, owing to the refund
ing of the British debt at lower rate Of
interest, and to a distracted feeling on
the continent as regards European in
vestments, and lastly, to the bond-buy-
ing policy Of our own Government.
These three elements are putting up
stocks in the face of rather poor crop re-
ports.

That cigarette smoking is injurious to
the youth OF the land hardly needs the
testimony OF physicians to make the as
sertion more convincing, but this expert
evidence is important in showing in
what particular the practice is injurious.
Last week petition, signed by 267 emf
nent physicians, urging the passage OF n
bill making it unlawful to supply cigar
cites to boys under IS, was introduced
in the United States Senate. The Pc
tition set forth that cigarette smoking
was working great injury to the growing
youth OF the land, and to society itself.
A Cincinnati paper has been investi-
eating the matter, and has interviewed
several physicians on the practice. One
says: "Thcir use is very deleterious.
Often they contained so.called tobacco
us fine almost as dust, much OF which is
drawn into the lungs. They discolor
the teeth, and OF course have the same
effect on the stomach. l am fond of u
fine cigar occasionally, but the mere
smell of cigarette makes me sick. The
practice is very injurious, and something
ought to be done to suppress it, The
things themselves are bad enough, but
the selling OF the fancy pictures with
them isa crime against society"
Another says that the lewd pictures
sold with the cigarettes are calculated to
do do as much injury as the cigarettes
themselves, both physically and moral
". Still another doctor puts it more
forcibly: "Not from prejudice" said he,
"arising from the fact that am a total
abstainer from the use OF all forms OF to-
bacco, but purely from medical stand
point. 1t is the abuse OF tobacco that
causes the trouble, and then it is con-
coded that the tobacco used in cigarettes
is not of tho best quality. In fact, it is
said to be the very worst. Another OBJ
lection is that the paper wrapper is
smoked with the cigarette, and the
chemicals used in paper making are very
injurious to any one, but especially SO
to growing child"
Even the tobacco dealers are in favor
of tho law. One prominent dealer says
he would be satisfied if the law was en-
forced. He said "thc cigarette manu-
iacturers will tell you that they use
nothing but the best of material, but l
give you my word as IN experienced
tobacconist that the materials of.theYery
