The Tobacco Tax.

As stated In our telegram yesterday the
Senate struck out all the provisions of the
tariff bill as passed by the House providing
for the reduction of internal revenue taxes
and the abolition Of the special taxes or
annual license on dealers in tobacco and
cigars. and peddlers Of tobacco and cigars.
The conference committee restored these
provisions and those reducing the tax on
manufactured tobacco and snuff TO cents
per pound instead Of cents. as provided
BY the House bill.
The paragraphs relating TO the sale of
tobacco grown by small farmers without
being required to pay special tar have
been restored.
By this restoration many persons are re-
lisved from the payment Of annoying
ppecial taxes.

Der OF votes to the Democratic nominee.
Such calamity Of course we oil wish to
avoid.
The repeal now goes to the Mayor for
his approval. No doubt he will thoroughly
inquire. and if necessary get the advice OF
the City Attorney, whether it will be safer
10 60 forward or backward.
Very distinctly IL is our duty to pursue
the safer course. We expect that Mr.. WISE
will be reelected to the House of Repre-
sentatives bya majority of several thou
sands: but should he have more formidable
opposition than now appears probable, all
of us here in Richmond would be very
much ashamed 10 find his title to his seat
clouded by municipal legislation.

If, however, our correspondent uses the
word loadstone in the sense of artificial

in New York and Philadelphia and can be

The Cadet Affair.

The Dispatch is informed that while the
custom has long prevailed at the Virginia
Military Institute for cadets to settle their
disputes by fst-fghts. it is not true that
these affairs are allowed by the authori-
ties. So far from this being tho case.
our informant assures us they are con-
Quoted with the utmost secrecy and the
officers cannot hear of them before or
after occurrence. In case of detection the
culprits would become liable to severe
punishment, il not instant dismissal, from
the institute.

The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1890-03-06

1t is an epoch-making event in the
history of the United States, which
places Hon. George NJ. Scott so promi-
nently before the public, and induces
US to publish in to-day's number a
portrait, and a sketch of his life. He
was born at Clinton county, New
York, aoout fifty-four years ago. In
1852 he went to California, and thence
TO Utah, in 1871. He established him
self in business at Salt Lake City, and
by industry and broad human sympa-
thies gained both fortune and a repu,
tation for high character.
The event referred TO above, was his
election as Mayor Of Salt Lake City.
For the first time in the history OF that
city, the opponents of Mormonism
carried municipal election. The en-
tire Gentile ticket was elected by deci-
sive majority, ranging from sos to 402,
in total vote Of 1854. Mr.. Scott re-
ceived the largest of the majorities.
This is indeed an event of great mo-
ment, being the severest blow which
has ever been dealt TO the Mormon
hierarchy, since it attained such large
dimensions. 1t means the introduce
ton Of non.sectional common
school system and the vindicstion of
American principles generally, and, Of
course, with all its far-reaching conse-
quences. The disabilities visited upon
stubborn polygamists, and the aboli-
ton of woman suffrage had perhaps
some effect in the reduction of the
Mormon majority but the main cause
was surely the general influence of
civilization, which seems to have at
last reached that forsaken district.
The beginning was marked by the
visitation of the Pacific railway.
Shortly after the opening Of the road,
the Liberal party sprung up cut OF the
meager material, and in 20 years it
had grown to its present strength.
The result of the late election was not
at all surprise, the introduction OF
civilization having been sure, but
rather slow one. The speedy admis.

Can Scirrhus Cancer be Curedl

This is hard question to answer.
Swiit's Specific has cured thousands
OF cases Of Skin Cancer, and there
have been many cases Of Scirrhus,
Cancer reported cured by it. We do
say that s. S. s. is worth a trial in any
case Of cancer We appeal state
ment from Miss Green, OF Tallapoosa,
Ga:
In 1884 ! had small lump in my
left breast, which proved to be cam
Ger. The first remedy tried was to
have it burned Of This did not cure
it, for shortly afterwards it broke out
again in a much worse form. | then
consulted our druggist, who advised
me to try Swifts Specific Is. S. S.,
and after taking about one dozen bot
ties, was completely cured, and my
general health was greatly improved,
This has been over six years ago, and
my cancer has never appeared since,
nor has it troubled me in any way. /
can cheerfully recommend Swift's
Specific rs. s. S. to any one suffering
with cancer.
