il for a fact that ''of one hundred news
papers in Georgia all but four favor the
repeal or modification of the internal
revenue laws" The Hot Blast might
have added to the statement that the
sentiment of the press and people of
that state is largely in favor of the prin-
cipie of protection. Such points as
these are sof incalculable advantage to
the Republican party if it pursues line
of policy calculated to attract rather
than repel such advances.

From the Topesa Capital
When Senator Plumb rises in the
United States senate to discuss the mis-
erable mail service Of Kansas and the
west, profound silence reigns in that
chamber. The other day he gave Mr.
Villas such scoring as will not soon b.
forgotten. He showed that under the
present administration the postal service
was in depiHable condition, and urged
thai measures bs adopted looking TO the
immediate relief of the people.

Unless the tax on tobacco is removed

Unless the tax on tobacco is removed
in a short time Consumers of that neccs-
sary @ article. instead of realizing the
benefits of lower price therefor,
as suggested by Mr.. Blaine in
his eNegcsiS on the tariff. brought
out by the presidents message to con-
gress, will find the price materially in
creased. 1t has Just been made public
that the supply of the fillery grades, the
class that constitutes the bulk Of the
manufactured article, both in plug and
cigars, is practically exhausted in this
country, while unusually large orders
are coming in from abroad. In view OF
these conditions spectators in leaf tobac-
co are buying up all of the grades named
and material advance in prices of all
manufactured tobacco is inevitable un-
less the excise tax is removed, and it is
doubtful whether that will prevent a rise
above present prices.
