The Cigarette Befriended.

The proneness OF the Democratic party
to array itself against every species of re-
form had a fresh illustration on Monday,
when every Democrat in the Senate voted
against proposition looking to the sup
preston of the deadly cigarette in the
District of Columbia. 4 petition signed
by 267 physicians, setting forth the
terrible results of the cigarette habit and
the injury ii was doing to the youth of the
country, and PRAYING for the passage of
the bill prohibiting the sale of cigarettes
or tobacco to bows under l6 years of age.
was presented in the Senate by Mr.. Chace.
of Rhode Island. who endorsed the repre-
sensations made in the petition, and asked
that they be published in the Congression-
al Record senator Harris, of Tennessee.
AT once objected to having this indictment
of the cigarette published in the Record.
In this he was supported by his Demo-
cratic brethren, but the Republicans were
rs solid the other way, and though their
majority is small, it is sufficient. and this
arraignment of the cigarette by the testi-
mouy of physicians is published at the
Government expense in spite of Demo-
cratic opposition.
The alliance between the Democracy
and the liquor sellers is one of long stand
ing. 1t will be in the nature of news to
some that they have also taken tobacco in
its most pernicious. Notwithstanding,
lfe-sapping form under their fostering
care. In the opinion of many good people
whisky and tobacco are twin evils. but
the Democratic party stands sponsor for
them both. No law to prohibit or restrict
the sale of either will be passed in the
Northern states. at least so long as Demo
cratic votes eau hinder it. Even dis
parag:ng reflections on the weed when it Is
enclosed in a tiny paper cylinder may
not be published in the official journal of
so order ii in the one branch which they
still control
There has never been reform, moral
or material, inaugurated in the last fifty
years but what ii found, as soon as it got
into politics. that the Democratic party
was in hostile array against it. To-day
the lowest practices of the Mormons find
and defense only in Demo-
cratic quarters. The restriction and
restraint of the liquor traffic can be ac-
complished in the Northern states ouly
when the Democratic party is wholly out

where recognized evil of cigarette smok-

An examination of the facts, so far a.
they are known to the public, leads plainly
enough to the conclusion that in Boulanger
the French Republicans have a trouble
some friend ora dangerous enemy, at least
t. the extent of his ability and of his back
ing by no incon-iderable portion of the
French people. The future alone can de-
eide whether he will be able to prove him
self an inadequate copy of a Monk. "A Louis
Napoleon, or Il superficial demagogue
circumstances not of his making seem
to greatly favor him. But he cannot
drift much longer. soon he will
have to show of what stuff he is made.
and whether he is to count for little or
much in French politics. 1t cannot be
doubted that nearly all of Republican
France i consolidated against him. The
recent votes in the Chamber clearly show
that the Republicans see the danger and
are determined to forget their differences
and sustain the present Ministry against
the unreasoning mob a. well aS against
the reactionarv designs of the Orleanists
and the NapoleonistS, whose tool Boulan-
ger seems to be. The Floquct Cabinet is
sustained not only by the Oppor-
tunits, but by the Radicals under
the leadership of tlemcnceau, re-
puted to be the ablest Republican
politician of France. 1t is fortunate also
that the municipal council of Paris, which
has SO often played an important part in
modern French history, has taken ground
against Boulangcr, and this lessons the
dangers of the Paris mob. The restless
and INSCRIPTIONS, who care little for
principles and party names, the adven-
turers of all lands who have present
domcile in the French capital, rs we'll as
the monarch;ral and imperialstic parti-
zaus. mean the over throw of the present
Government 1t will be to the shame of
America if any OF hcrCitlzen or her money
are having any part in this Boulanger
craze AMI wicllcdneSs. 1t would be i'm
possible for Americans to be more false to
their own country than to give any kind
of sympathy or encouragement to con-
spiraces against the French Republic, or
in any way to strengthen the hand of him
who appears trying to initiate the conduct

Democratic machine in that State has be-
come so corrupt and intolerable that the
best OF the Democratic voters in New
Orleans were forced TO come out in open
rebellion and to Re ready to fight and die,
il need be, for an honest election. This
last result Of the Democratic tyranny
obtained by the suppression of the negro
vote has drawn the attention of the whole
country to the late contest and TO it, dis
closures.
What do the undisputed reports show
How il the Democratic sun. whose New
Orleans dispatches admit the obvious and
damning fact that the Democratic con-
spiracy was carried too far. In state

posterous Democratic majority Of any
where from 5000 to $4,000 Is claimed.
The Suns correspondent add
that 1.-THE najorities reported from
some Of the parishes in north
Louisiana are stupendous and in some
eases Incredible. From Rapides, where
the contest was regarded a close one until
a few days ago, majority Of 1000 is re-
ported. The population of the parish Is
only $4,000. Warmoth admits defeat, but
claims that 10000 votes were stuffed in the
boxes against him. and conservative
Democrats admit that in some of the
parishes Of North Louisiana the returns
are suspicious. In the southern portion
OF the State and in New Orleans the Re

polling places, and every one is satisfied
with the result
The dispatches to the Democratic World
are TO the same effect. They show Il sue

magnitude are calculated TO startle or stun

solid Democratic opposition.

Even the New York Post, Free Trade in
all its teachings and sympathies. cannot
endorse the sectional character of the
Mills bill. which leaves a heavy duty on
sugar and rice, while it sweeps away the
duty on wool, taking away all protection
Of the wool growers of the North and
West. 1t publishes in it columns with
out dissent the following communication ::
Rice aud the Tariff.
To the Editor Of the Ereniag Pest.
SIR In Mr. McMillin's speech in the tariff
debate he '.congratulates the country that
we have reached the point where there is y
fair chance for the consideration OF bill
looking TO the reduction of the taxes on the
necessaries OF life Does he call it fair
adjustment when rice is taxed nearly 100 per
cent. Is this relieving the burden of Co.
OO0, 900 consumers In 1850 we produced in
this country l20,060,0O0 pounds. and the
values realized by the planters were ample
and satisfactory At that time the tarin
which the Government collected from foreign
imports of rice was only 10 per cent
adj yalorum in the years 1885 and lss6, the
crop of rice in the United States, | under
stand reached $50, 600 900 pounds, and even
this was insufficient TO meet the requirements
of the people.
If the planter made satisfactory profits OF
a crop of l20 900 900 pounds and L tariff only
Is per cent al yalorem, is he not doing
equally well when his crop is increasing and
has reached $50 900 900 pounds: And hear
from Trustworthy sources that the present
year promises a larger yield than ever before
l. it fair. then, TO tax the food of the common
people 10 the extent proposed in the Mill,
bill!
The Government does not need the revenue.
and certainly the planter needs no support
from the Government. Then let rice be
reduced TO its position before the war, viz.
Is per cent. al valorem for cleaned rice. and
unclaimed rice and paddy, under ra O.,
materials, free.
This is but just to $1,000 900 consumers
who have to pay this burdensome tax to en-
rich couple of thousand planters.
Truly yours,

LIQUOR DESTROYED.
The State Police of Rhode Island En-
forcing Prohibition Laws Vigorously.

PROVIDENCE, April 2i.-There was the
greatest destruction of liquor here this after
noon that has ever been known in the pro-
hibitory history of RhoIe Island. Chief of
State Police Curtis had set his deputies at
work and gathered in 100 hogsheads of beer
and ale, enough kegs of beer to stock a
score of bar-rooms, and about 100 bottles of
brandy, whisky and rum, the whole having a
market value of about 5000. This after
noon the deputies poured the stuff into a
sewer.
Wholesale raids were made to-day on the
local dealers, and another lot of liquor and
beer was taken in to be destroyed. The first
case of prosecuting the landlords is near at
hand. Chief Curtis will begin with Dr.
Grosvenor's Palace" which covers a large
block. Two dealers in that block have been
raided twice each If in week from now
the nuisances are undated. one more raid
will be made on each man.
