is used, and the greatest care is taken in
selecting and working it. In cheaper cigar
cites cheaper tobacco is used, but in no case
is 1t drugged or adulterated with opium, as
the anti-cigaretteites claim. This absurd
charge has been disapproved time and again
Dy careful scientific investigation. Only q
lew weeks ago Prof. Babcock, state assayer
of Massachusetts and professor of chem
istry in the Massachusetts college of
pharmacy, testified before the investigat-
Ing committee that in nine samples Of cigar
cites which he had analysed not one con-
tanned other than pure tobacco, wrapped in
pure paper, and further, in his opinion, the
cigarette furnishes the least harmful mode
of using tobacco.
Curiously enough the most

The gentleman who surrounds himself
with the vile stencil of his scent ''Grabiola

cites, and his contempt for the men who

certainly surprising. We do not think the
advice of the Tribune will be sufficient to
foist this man upon the people of Idaho
for the place mentioned or any other posi-
ton. Consequently, the offer Of tbs
Tribune will, in my opinion, be declined
with thanks.
This same Delamar was nominated and
elected to the first legislature Of Idaho on q
certain pledge, which he never kept, and
we are convinced he never intended to
when he made it. On the contrary, hS
joined HANDS with some soreheads to defeas
the will Of the people and fritter away
about forty days of valuable time of the
people, defeating much needed legislation,
and thereby casting a stigma upon the fair
name Of the state we presume, all on acS
count of disappointed ambitions of his own
Not being satisfied with violating overy
pledge upon which he was elected, he as
pired to be Worlds fair commissioner for
Idaho, knowing, Of course, that the posi-
ton would give him considerable newspa-
per notoriety and cheap advertising, and
with great flourish OF trumpets, he an
nounced that he would duplicate any
amount appropriated by the Legislature for
that purpose out Of his own pocket He
succeeded in convincing the governor that
he was acting in good faith, received
| the appointment, went to Chicago,
/ did nothing but sulk, and about the time
/ for making his promise good, surprised
everybody by sending in his resignation,
without even offering to donate & dollar for
the scheme.
Now L am of the opinion the people OF
Idaho have had enough Of Delsmar and do
not want him to represent them at Mime
apoIis or any other place. There are
plenty of good and reliable men in the
state, who can represent the party with
credit, and the people will know that when
they make any promises they will be full
filed.
When the convention meets at Pocatello
for the purpose of nominating delegates
they will not be governed by the advice Of
the Tribune, and send men to Minneapolis
representing monopolies, but will select
men of brains and ability, and men upon
whom they can rely.
The day of the Tribune as factor in
Idaho politics is fast nearing a close.
Yours, REPUBLICAN.

ologist, expressed views similar to those
above. He points to the Turks as great
cigarette nation, and, as far as can be seen,
they are not seriously affected by the habit.
1t is, however, not contracted by the youth
among them. He finds the same pernioious
result where inhaling has become habit,
and Is. if anything, more emphatic in his
statement that the young people under
twenty-one should be prohibited from ac-
quiring the tobacco habit, and particularly
the cigarette smoking habit.
1t was then thought advisable to visit one
or two specialists in other lines, and visit
to DR.. Herman Knapp, the most celebrated
oculist in this country, convinced me that
smoking was, on the whole, more injurious
to the eyes than people had any conception
Of
81 will not say" he said, "that cigarette
smoking Injuries the eyes in any way, for l
have really had no case OF that kind on
record, aud don't believe any other oculist
has. Tobacco smoke, however, has en-
effect and particularly in this, the case
where
'sHAG' TOBACCO
is used. That, you know, is the heavy
Kentucky quality. l find in many cases
that it produces waste in the optic nerves
that came very near to total blindness.
The only way in which to recover is to
leave OF smoking entirely. 1t, however,
has no effect on the eyes until tobacco has
been used from fifteen to thirty years, then
it produces that peculiar Inflammation OF
the optic nerves which is noticeable in per
| sons addicted to alcohol. They see dark
b,otch in the centre of their visual field and
almost lose their color perception. These
cases are very freqGsnt.n
DR.. Mittendorf, another famous oculist,
expressed views similar. He knew of nc
bad effect to the eyes from cigarette smok-
ing, but had had many cases of almost total
blindness by reason of continued smoking
of heavy tobacco
Specialists cited two strange cases, in
which the names were, however, not men
toned. One of these was that of a United
/ States Senator who had contracted the
cigarette habit at school, had gone through
one siege of nervous prostration in conse-
quence, and had now placed himself under
the treatment of one of the oculists visited
for weakened eyesight, brought about from
smoking the heaviest kind of tobacco. An
other case was that OF state Senator OF
whom the tobacco and alcohol habit haC
produced similar effect and who is now
under treatment for both ners Gus prostra-
tion and almost total waste of the optic
nerves.

by the cigars which are made in this breed
ing ground of fever. Thousands Of cigars
are rolled every day in these squalid, YER
min infested, fever reeking tenements and
are sent out and sold, not only in New York,
but all over the country. 1t is the only in
dustry of hundreds of these poor Russian
families, aud while the tenement house pro
duct is bad enough at any time, from both
sanitary and smokers standpoint the
case becomes positively alarming when an
epidemic spreads through the cigarmaker' S
quarters like prairie fire.
The tenement house cigar evil, though
frequently attacked, has never been
stamped out. Owners of small factories
send out 'piece work" to the jewellers in
the reek1ng tenements, and the goods are
boxed and labeled as of the output of 6

the typhus epidemic in New York naturally
raises the question in the minds Of thought
full smokers as to whether they will be
obliged 70 give up their loved weed alto
gether, or, at best, seek solace from pipe.
We have few authentic records of men
who have been injured by not using tobacco,
and II is equally true that there are very
few instances when men have been hurt by
the moderate and reasonable use OF the
''divine herb" as the old English writers
delighted in calling it 1t is the abuse of
tobacco, not its use, which harms. IL men
were to consume ham sandwiches at the
rate that some smokers burn cigars and
cigarettes, outraged nature would protest
and the victim of the ham sandwich habit
would suffer. Yet no one thinks of start
ing a crusade against ham sandwiches on
that account; no congressman wants to tax
them, and no legislature investigates their
baneful properties. AS smoker l can but

At special meeting OF the City Coun-
Gil held June 2s, 1899, the mayor. Hon.
William c. Evans, submitted the follow
ing message, which, on motion of Mr..
Mcconnell, was ordered to be published:
The following is the record of the
police court from July /, 1891, to Feb.
ruary %, 1892, ut which time the office
was turned over to Police Justice

charter:
Number of arrests and summonses,

month Of June, Sl6,l7S 81.
'As this is tho last message I will
send to your body l take this oppor-
tunity to thank you for the uniform
kindness and courtesy you have shown
me during my term Of office. / entered
upon the duties of mayor without fully
realizing the duties, perplexities and
responsibilities tho Office involved, and
am conscious of my shortcomings and
failures, which makes your kindness
and cooperation all the more appre-
ciable.
81 congratulate you gentlemen upon
the work you have done. and feel no hest
fancy in saying that you have completed
and placed in process of erection moro
substantial improvements than any
Council that has preceded you. / also
congratulate you most heartily upon the
present financial standing of our city.
The policy of her Council has been such
as to make her securities first class, and
to-day her bonds are sought after and
readily sold at premium, and you turn
the city over to your successors in f.
nancial condition second to no city in
the South.
ct is matter of profound congratu-
lation that the sanitary condition of
our city is much better than usual at
this season of the year, and l conf
IDENTIFY believe that we have had less
sickness than we have ever had at a
corresponding period in the history of
our city. Our recent Decennial Cele-
bration so far exceeded our most san
guine expectations, that it has inspired
fresh confidence in our city at home
and abroad, and is destined to have a
wholesome and salutary effect on her
future development. With best wishes,
respectfully submitted,

The entire stock and building Of

merchandise dealers on Puget sound,
was destroyed by fire last night. The
Northern Hotel, next door, barely es.
capped destruction and was damaged
several thousand dollars worth
by heat and water, and other
minor damages done to the
contiguous structures. footing up a total
damage to about $4,000 At six
o'clock in the afternoon the basement
in which was stored several hun
dred cases of oil was discov-
cred to be on fire. The
department succeeded in combining the
fire to the basement for an hour, but
it finally communicated to the stoc X
wrapping paper and burst through the
roof and Quilted the building with
great rapiditv. The insurance will
probably cover the loss.
