The broad, liberal minded states
men who compose the Board of Ed
ucation in the performance of the III
tricate and perplexing functions Of
their high office have seen fit to rise
to the great elevation of fighting and
finally defeating a poor one-armed
negro teacher because he votes the
Democratic tickct.-jStdtcSman.
Such political rot we have often
seen in the columns Of the Statesman
but this time it has little reflex &C.
tion on the Statesman and the Dem
0crats who put the "One-armed negro
teacher" in. First, you assert that
he votes the Democratic ticket, and
next, you expose the reason why he
was put there by Democratic
Board. We do not presume to re-
fleet upon whether the gentlemen of
the Board are broad and liberal
minded, but we do know that they
have more brains to the square inch
than the critic oftheir broadness and
their liberal mindedness. They have
given the position to Martinsburg
boy, who was reared in the colored
school, and who had heretofore
helped in bringing them up. They
have done no act that would reflect
upon them as does the above clip
ping upon the writer.

German Pythians Win.

CHICAGO, August 12.-Germar
Pythians won a signal victory il
the courts today in the fight over
the black-listing for refusal to adopt
the English ritual. Waldeck Lodge
No. 1876, sued the Supreme Lodge
of Illinois, asking the court to enjoin
it from taking away the lodge char
ter, and also to issue a writ of man.
damus, compelling it to give up GER
tain passwords. Judge Brentano to-
day rendered a decision in the plain
tiff's favor.
In September, 1894, the Grand
Chancellor of Illinois ordered the
surrender of the charter of Waldeck
Lodge and its German rituals, and
ordered that the lodge use only the
English ritual at its meetings. Wal
deck Lodge refused to comply with
the demand, and the chancellor pre-
sented charges to the grand tribunal,
charging the lodge with violating
alleged laws.

THE SALE OF CIGARETTES Those
cigar dealers who have accepted
the decision of Judge Nathan Golf,
of the United States Circuit Court,
on the cigarette tax law as final, are
likely to find themselves in serious
trouble. The last legislature passed
law taxing all cigarette dealers
$500 per year. The American To-
bacco Company, OF New York, ship
ped consignment of cigarettes to a
Martinsburg dealer, with the under
standing that he would be saved
harmless. The dealer sold the cigar
cites without license and was arrest
ed. The tobacco company appealed
to the United States Court for a
writ of babeas corpus, on the ground
that the tax was a hindrance to In
terstate commerce such as is contem-
plated by the United States Supreme
Courtinits original package decision.
Judge Golf held that the dealer, who
acting as a manufacturers agent,
sells cigarettes shipped into the state
in original packages ltich are not
broken before selling ut amenable
to the tax. On this, caiers all over
the State began sellin- at retail, not
breaking the packages in which the
goods are pack, d at the factory.
Governor MacCorkle and Attor.
ney General Riley have decided that
the law covers these eases, and will
bring befor the courts all who are
SO selling cigarettes. They hold
that under Judge Colts decision Gig
arettes may only be sold by a man
ufacturer's agent, the goods belong
ing to the manufacturer, and then
only in the style of packages in
which they cross the State line.
They hold that for even this agent
to sell cigarettes in packages of ten,
the cigarettes must be shipped into
the State in individual packages of
that sort, AMI these packages must
not be bound in any other s7rt OF
package.

THE CIGARETTE CAMPAIGN.

The campaign against the deadly
cigarette is, to all appearances, about
to prove failure. We do not mean
SO far as West Virginia is concerned
but all over the country. Those
who have for years fought the man
ufacture, sale or use of cigarettes
must certainly feel discouraged over
the late statistics regarding the
trade. The moralizing of self-re-
specting public, the doom-like warn
ing of physicians, and the enactment
Of severe laws by legislatures have
amounted to nought, and the little,
White, cylinder of the scull and cross
bones as yet vigorously asserts its
sway under the noses of subjects
that increase in number every day.
Nearly four millions more of cigar
cites were sold the past fiscal year
than the year before, an in
crease of twenty per cent. over the
past. The profits of the business
must be not only large but increas-
ing in temptation to investors. AT
plant is to be built that will manu-
facture 12,5OO,OOO a day. While it
is true that the use of cigarettes is
on the increase, it does not hold
good that cigars are less used.
More cigars by 53,0OO,OOO were sold
in this than in the last year, and the
cigarette deyotees are only reinforc-
ed from those who never knew the
joy of one Havana filler and Sumatra
wrapper or even ola Wheeling stoga.
Even the pipe is growing to be more
popular, yet the cigarette goes on
just the same. 1t is now a question
for some statistician to predict how
many cigarettes will be smoked an
nualIy If the opposition 10 them
ceases.

The nomination of Hon. Lloyd
Lowndes, of Allegheny county, as
Republican candidate for Governor
of Maryland, was made Thursday,
at Cambridge, Nd, by unanimous
vote. VIM. I. Master. who, it was
expected, would make fight for the
nomination, withdrew with the re-
quest that Lowndes be nominated
by reclamation, audit was done with
a mighty shout. The other nomina-
tions made were, Harry M.Clabaugh
for Attorney-General, and Robt. P.
Graham for Comptroller. The tick
ct is an unusually strong one, and by
many Democrats a Republican vic
tory in Maryland is predicted with a
large majority. Mr.. Lowndes is a
Western MaryIander, and not only
popular there, but throughout the
