The first care Of Job and myself, after

of our personal baggage had already been

buzzards. Washington has drawn
the plutocratic flocks for several de-

the scent. Necessity has pressed
them to follow it. Congress may
have difficulty in drawing a clear line
of principle between the demands of
the two classes of petitioners. The

Herman Enterprise: John I. Lin
dem of this county is in the race for
the nomination on the Republican
ticket as representative from this dis
trict. Mr.. Linden needs no intro
duction from US. He has been a resi-
dent of this county for years; has
been honored by the people to such
an extent that they elected him to the
office of sheriff for two terms. In the
last years he has turned his attention
to farming, and he owns one of the
best equipped and most fertile farms
in the state. His honesty nobody
can successfully dispute, and OF his
fitness for the Office for which he as
pires there can be no doubt. During
his long residence in the county he
has gained the respect and good will
of all with whom he has come in con-
tact, either in a business way or social
". Such a man is John T. Linden;
and the Enterprise sincerely believes
that should he receive the nomina-
ton, and be elected and there can be
little doubt of that, he will serve his
district in the house not as figure
head and a voting machine, but as
one who will work for the interest Of
his constituents above everything.
AS candidate for state senator
E. J. Jones of Morris will have the
entire support of his county, and the
Republican votes of Grant. With
Jones and Linden, and possibly
Dezotell or some other equally good
man from either Traverse or Big
Stone, the Republicans are sure to
win in the coming election.

He must however, keep clear of any
entangling alliances. In this vicin-
age at least, political sentiment seems
to be crystalizing in favor of Hon. A.
S. Crossfeld for the congressional
nomination. Heis widely known and
popular, and in survey of the field
it is apparent that Mr.. Crossfeld is a

EFFECT OF TOBACCO UPON THE
THE CHILDREN OF THOSE WHO
USE 1T.
BY ]. H. KELLOGG, NJ. D.

There Is no doubt but that a large
of the hysterical girls, and the boys who
have tendency to inebriety, owe their
condition to the tobacco habits of their
fathers. / have seen numerous dreadful
Illustrations of this. One gentleman
brought his boy to me whom he SAID
seemed to have been born with the
nerves all on the outside of his body"
When q child, he had the st. Vitus'
dance; as he grew older, and recovered
from this it was found impossible to
keep him in school, for he became ex-
hausted at the least exertion, could not
sleep nights, and his nervous system
seemed a complete wreck. looked in
to the case carefully, and could find nc
reason in the boy for his extreme ner-
vous condition. Finally asked the
father if he used tobacco. He replied,
Eyes, I've used it all my life; began
when a mere boy, and it hasn't hurt me
particle" / told him that his son
was suffering from its injurious effects,
and that the only time to cure him ex-
tended back of his birth.
A physician only forty years of age
came to me, and when | examined him
told him that he had tobacco heart,
and that he must stop smoking or die.
He said he did not see why tobacco
should hurt him at that age, when his
father and mother, who were each eighty
years old, had smoked all their lives,
and were hale and hearty. | replied
that his father and mother had smoked
his heart away. remember one young
man, only twenty, with bad tobacco
heart, who did not understand why he
could not smoke as his father and grand
father had done beforehim.
A great many nervous diseases. cases
of neuralgia, hysteria, ETC., as wc. rs
heart disease. are directly or indirectly
attributable sto tie use Of tobacco. |
am sure that the next generation will
be convinced of the cnormity of the
evil which is second only to that of alco-
hol, and perhaps in some respects
worse. The alcohol habit produces
more social distress, but the evils it en-
ails upon posterity are no worse than
those imposed by the tobacco habit, if
they are so bad
1t has been argued that tobacco does
not produce organic disease. This is
not true. 1t causes failure of the eye
sight which nothing can cure, and
brings on tobacco heart which nothing
can cure
