CIGARETTE SMOKERS BATTLE.

CIGARETTE SMOKERS BATTLE.
Indianapolis News
"Sone dayI am going to write "The
Confessions of a Cigarette Smoker"
The speaker. young man, stood be-
fore the open fire at the Denison. He
was looking at 16-year-old boy who
was inhaling cigarette by the news
stand.
81 know all about it. 1 was regu-
lar slave to the habit, and the struggle
had with myself before l quit it was as
terrible as any drunkard ever went
through to quit drinking.
81 had smoked cigarettes continually
during my sophomore and junior years
at college, and my health was suffering
from it. 1t is the inhaling that is the
dangerous part of the habit. If smokers
wouldn't inhale the cigarette it would
be almost harmless, except for the dis
gusting odor, but ninety-nin out of ev-
cry hundred do inhale. l had inhaled
until it had brought on severe throat
and lung trouble. I knew 1 ought to
stop, but 1 couldn't. 1 would stop for
days at a time and then go back to the
old indulgence.
at was the simmer of 1890 that 1 made
my final resolve to quit, and succeeded.
l had been at Mackinac Island, and re-
turned via Petoskey and steamer to
Chicago. knew that the boat would
head right down the lake for Chicago,
without a single stop. 1 also knew
there was no place to buy a cigarette on
board, and that 1 would have a terrible
battle to fight out for thirty-six hours.
1 deliberately did not lay in the usual
supply of cigarettes.
"As the steamer backed out into the
bay 1 looked at my cigar case. There
lay three cigarettes. Iwent up on the
pilot house and smoked one slowly; then
I threw the other two into the lake, and
the struggle began. After dinner l
went up on the top of the pilot house
and tried read. But l could think of
nothing bnt my usual postprandial
smoke. My nerves got all unstrung.
My throat was dry. l longed for those
two cigarettes l had tossed into the
lake as starving man longs for food.
| started down to see if there was any
one from whom could borrow. But L
gave that up and sat down again on
my lofty post. had an idea that it
would be better to to keep in the brisk
sea breeze all could. l suffered fear
fully all the afternoon. L regretted a
hundred times my folly in not laying
in my usual supply. Toward evening L
felt better, but could eat no supper,
merely drinking great quantity of al
most undiluted coffee. That night 1
tossed in my berth till dawn. The Sec
ond day my sufferings were not so Sc
we're, but they were bad enough; slept
most of the afternoon, and we reached
Chicago at s.
81 was afraid to trust myself about
hotel office, so 1 went to a theater and
then to bed. The next day L felt much
better, and, except Immediately after
my dinner, had little desire to smoke.
81 have not touched cigarette since.
The odor of them now is unbearable to
me. When l look upon what l went
through 1 think it can truthfully be said
that no habit is more dangerous and
hard to leave off than the smoking of
cigarettes.

WHY chilli FIGHTS.

From the Review of Reviews.
M. de Varigny gives in the Reoue deS
de,tc Mondes clear, succinct account of
the events of the Chilian war, which the
conflicting reports of newspaper CORE
spondents have left vague in most minds.
While he blames the conduct of Balma-
ceda, he regards much of what has hap
pened as the almost inevitable outcome
of the opposition of English and Amer
lean ideas and influence, which, working
as they have worked together in the
evolution of the Chilian republic, has
created a condition of things under
which it was impossible for people so
naturally vigorous to continue. Chilian
parliamentary institutions are impreg-
mated, according to NJ. de Varigny, with
the monarchical spirit of England, from
which country they were copied. But
this monarchical system has for its
crown an autocratic President, whose
powers were granted to him under
American influence, and whose position
in the constitution was copied from that
of the President of the United States.
The two institutions can not work to
gether. Ralmaceda only followed in
his unconstitutional practices the "de-
plorable deviations" of all his prede-
cessors, and one of the results of the war
is likely to be revision of machinery of
government which may bring the powers
of the President and the Parliament into
a more logical relation to each other.
The Chilian war, in fact, has been, in
M. Varigny's reading of it, war be-
tween the forces which made for closer
1ion with the United States and those
which made for the supremacy of English
influence; the English forces have won,
and with their victory the dreams of the
three Americas united against the world
loses all chance of realization. The in
dignation of Chill, he continues, has
been stirred against the United states,
and too deeply for the breach to be
easily healed, and the ambition of the
republic will for the future be to main
tain its independence until it takes, in
the Southern continent, the position of
supremacy which the United States
holds in the North.

JERRY Is AFTER JERRY.

Cleveland Leader.
Whenever a reformer of any kind
works his way into a legislative body,
his first act, preparatory to turning the
rascals OUT and assuming entire control
himself, is to institute an investigation.
The Democrats who went into power
with Grover Cleveland were all pene-
trated by spirit of reform and they
investigated. They found that Repub-
lican administrations, composed entirely
of unconvicted "rascals," had handled
billions of dollars, leaving discrepancy
of only three cents. Peffer's first act on
taking Senator ingalls, toga was to
move to investigate and ascertain the
expenses that money-lenders, brokers,
and their class were under, with view
to finding out VII 1t interest they ought
to charge, and whether high rates were
due to scarcity of money, to incidental
expenses, or to the selfishness of men
who were influenced by feeling so
general among human beings of charg
ing and taking what they could get for
what they had to sell. Jerry Simpson,
of Medicine Lodge, has sat idly in Con-
gress for month, and now yields te the
inevitable fate of the reformer. He will
investigate the Department of Agricult-
ure. He charges that the department is
made ''the harbor of Political employees" T"
and that crop reports are furnished to
boards of trade, market wreckers. and
operators first, and then to the farmers.
The Leader earnestly beseeches the
Democrats of the House to pass this
resolution. Jerry Simpson should be
chairman of the committee and should
conduct the examination. Jerry Rusk
will be happy to meet him, and we
venture the assertion that the first Jerry
will get more than he bargained for be-
fore he gets through with Jerry No. 2.
By all means, let Jerry investigate Jerry.
