Eastern papers intimate that Voorhees,
and the vice president will try to bring
the repeal bill to vote by an arbitrary
scheme, in which the latter will refuse to
recognize any senator except one chosen
to move for q vote; also that the silver
senators will rosist such a high-handed
proceeding by physical forcc if necessary.
The report is hardly to be believed; but
if the sedate body does get into scrap,
all well-meaning people will hope that
John Sherman may be made to see stars
and to swallow some OF his own teeth.

The East is becoming aroused. The

ruin before them for themselves and for
their employees if free trade bill is pass-

No better practical illustration Of this
fact could be desired than the "object

Some very splendid work has been
done during the past few days by the
silver men. Up to date l think the chief
est honors are due to Senator Teller OF
Colorado. He is as tireless as wolf
hound, vigilant as watch dog, and is T o
magnificcntly equipped that he is always
ready for any possible emergency. Then
he has way OF downing his advergaries,
and at the same time retaining their full
friendship and respect. He is very
bulwark to the silver cause in the senate.

When Governor Waite expressed him
self against the endorsement of land
value currency by a bimetallic conven-
ton, hc acted in accordance with u rea
son so evident that even Populist ought
to see it at once. But it is strange that
tho Governor does not perceive the equal
absurdity OF the insertion of a free silver
plank in the platform Of a party which
is openly in favor of cheap paper money.

Cleveland contemptuously and without
excuse disrcgards the civil service laws,
the Chinese exclusion act, tho silver
purchase act and other laws of congress
that are not exactly TO his taste. If con-
gress will not repeal the laws he does not
like, he simply ignores them. He is the
first president who ever carried his cgot-
ism to such a dangerous extent.

household words in Colorado to, day, and

Warning to Cigarette Fiend.

Frank Blair of Clinton, a young
man about Is or 10 years of age,
who is employed at the water
works pump house, was taken with
violent spasms last Saturday night
about 8 o'clock, jumped through
the window and escaped. He was
captured about 100 yards away by
two men who were fortunately
present at the time. He was re-
moved to the Artesian hotel, where
he had several more violent spasms.
Two men were required to hold
him until DIR. Britts arrived aud af-
ter hard work the young man was
quieted.
Frank is nice young man and his
only fault seems to be that he had
become a slave to cigarette smokip g
to which the doctor attributes the
mental alteration. He is at his
fathers house in this city and in 6
fair way to recovery.
This incident should be warning
to cigarette 6ends. and parents
should be on their guard. In men
