ineurs far less danger from the habit,
from indulging in the cigarette II he
chooses. 1t is well nigh impossible to
prevent the boy so disposed from smoking
the cigarette on the sly. But the appeal
to his manliness, the holding up before
him of the puny, insignificant stature OF
the cigarette fiend, made when young, ana
every possible aid to the cigarette league
will achieve wonders. And in this con-
nection why would it not be wise to ap-
peal to the American independence OF
these lads That opposition to the tyran-
nical tea tax which resulted in the de-
struction of the tea brought to the port
of Boston has been illustrated in history
for several generations and probably will
not be forgotten so long as history re-
mains. That deed is regarded as glori-
GUS one Now all boys have an itching
for glory, that is not altogether undesir-
able. The tea tax was not more tyranni-
cal than the exactions of the cigarette
trust are said to be. Hands off the cigar
ette boys, and down with the cigarette
trust.

more than half century past British men

country to reform our manners, morals,
politics and commercial ways.
Perhaps they could have spent their
time and cloquence to better advantage
in their own land whose government, land
laws, customs morals and poverty suffer

The pluck and dash of British chariot
GERS greatly impressed the Roman general.
They began by driving at full speed along
the enemy's line, hurting their weapons
and frequently throwing the ranks into
disorder by the fear which their horses
and the rattle of their wheels inspired, and
when they had edged their way in among
tho troops of cavalry they leaped down
from the chariots and fought on foot. The
drivers meanwhile fell back little to the
rear, and so posted their chariots that if
tho warriors were hard pressed by superior
numbers of the enemy they might have a
ready retreat to their own lines.
So in battle they combined the mobility
of cavalry with the stability of infantry
and became SO expert by daily practice and
exercise that when on declivity or steep
incline it was their habit to pull up their
horses at full gallop, bring them to q
standstill, turn them in an instant run
out along the pole, stand on the yoke
and then get back with all speed into the
chariot. Some of the British cars had
scythcs attached to the axletrees and were
called by the natives covini-that is, the
Celtic word c0wain, which means a cart
or wagon. The Romans may have pre-
yiously seen similar chariots used in the
Gallo armies, but the wild antics Of the
painted Britons must have disconnected
them not little.-Gentleman S Magazine.

The Tramp Problem in Maine.
Waterville Mail.)

The suggestion of the Lewiston Jour
nal that the tramps, now so numerous
in this State, be set to work on the ice
fields strikes us as a very poor one. There
is probably little danger, however, that
the managers of the ice companies will
offer work to tramps when the general
laziness and unreliability of the whole
tramp class is SO we'll known. 1t would
be a great injustice to honest, wcll-dis-
posel workingmcn to have the tramps en-
ployed as the Journal suggests. There is
just one way in which tramps can be
properly set to work and that is in break
ing stone during the winter and making
roads with the resulting material in the
summer. Tramp labor should never be
put in competition with that of willing
self re specting laborers and it would not
be We're such labor confined to road i'm
provement.
Better roads in Maine are greatly need
ed and nobody would object to having the
tramps help to make them better Pro
vide stone yard for every jail in the
State where the tramps shall be maze to
work or starve during the winter; in the
summer set them to work in gangs on
the roads, looked after by ovcrseers who
know their business and the troublesome
tramp problem in Maine is well Ugh

Swend Foyn, known as the founder of
whale catching on a large scale in Nor
way, and the inventor of the harpoon can
non, died in Tongsberg, Norway, the other
day, aged So. 1t was due to this inyen-
zion, in which peculiar kind of bali was
used, generating gas after It entered the
body of the animal, AID prevented it from
sinking, that whale fishing became so
great an industry in the north. Foyn was
4 wealthy and influential man, and one
of the most popular citizens of Norway.
1t was on one of his boats last year that the
German emperor went on whale hunt
His majesty was extremely fond of the

Speaks From knowledge.
Oath Tincs.)

The unanimous condemnation which
the Maine Legislature has passed upon
Fithian's free ship bill is a thing that
should lead this expiring Congress to
leave our navigation laws unchanged.
Maine is a shipbuilding State, she has
stood at the head in this line of work, her
yards were sending ships to all corners
of the world when Mr. Fithian's state
was practically unknown. His men have
q century of experience behind them, have
built everything from the bluff bowed
brig of years ago to the finest modern
steel yacht atloat
As result of this century of expert
encc, as result of the changes which
have come about during the present gen
Grafton and the thorough knowledge of
modern shipbuildng which has thus come
about, Names representatives know that
a free ship bill would ruin his great in
dustry, would quickly close our ship yards
and leave us dependent upon the foreign
er for our ships in time of need
Congress should heed Names protest,
for Maine speaks from knowledge of the
facts, while Fithian speaks from thcorcti-
cal suggestions.

EDITORS TABLE.

The Journal has delayed an undue time
in acknowledging the receipt OF beautl
full Christmas poem by Mrs. Josephine Z.
Woodbury. entitled The Wonder II
Heaven Not only is this poem in itself
a literary gem, bur it is published in al
artistic form entirely outside of conven
tional forms 1t is illustrated by Mr..
Eric Pape who is one of the artists on the
Century and whose skill in the pictures
of the new biography of Napoleon is not
able. In this instance his work is of
different character and one who studies
it carefully will find that it has marked
significance of its own. 1t is poem that
possesses permanent value and while en-
tirely unassuming is in fact one of the
notable verse contributions to the Ameri-
can literature of 1894.

The Lion and the Lamb in South Carolina.

1t has been said with truth that politics
makes strange bed fellows. No one how
ever has anticipated that it would cause
the lion and the lamb TO lie down together
in peace Most people had supposed that
achievement was to be reserved for the
millennium. And to think that it is like
" to occur in aristocracy ridden and Till
man threatened South Carolina passeth
the understanding. Indeed we are of the
opinion that if such performance takes
place the lamb will not get up unframed.
Therein the lion and the lamb siesta III
South Carolina is likely to differ very
materially from that prophesied for the
millennium. Nevertheless it is matter
of no small wondcrment that a lion sc
naughty as is the Bourbon species of the
Palmetto state should consent to humbly
lie beside the lamb although at the time
he be suffering from chronic dyspepsia.
In those states, which in the days of
Henry Clay had a majority in favor of
the policy of protection to American in
dustries, the union of Democrats and Re
publicans so soon as sectional differences
may be adjusted or that policy may be
threatened with extinction is not to be
unexpected. The results in Tennessee
and North Carolina last fall We're not al
together surprising But to suppose the
Bourbon fire eater of South Carolina so
humbed as to look to Republicans for
political salvation would have seemed very
presumptuous. And yet we are told that
this is just what is happening. After
writhing for months under the Tillman
regime the aristocratS and conservatives
have concluded that the Republicans of
that state are not at all bad by way of
comparison with the Tillmanitcs. This
contemplated fusion will have little in
nuence upon national politics. 1t will be
a deal on state issues and one from which
the Republicans are likely to gain but
little in the end.

man was only possible because of the
abuses to which a large mn jority of the
people of that state had been subjected by
the dominating and tyrannical aristocracy.
When the uprising came Tillman stood
ready to step into the leadership. I'm
doubtcdly a man of strong will, I'M
dauntcd physical courage, of fanatical
zeal and unbounded ambition his in
luencc has lent impetus to the movement
along radical lines and into extremes.
Many of the more conservative seeing the
dangerous trend tried to check the i'm
petus but were swept along until now
not only the moss grown aristocracy of
the state but the conservative elements
among the people are combining in the in
tcrcsts of what they believe to be the
safety of the commonwealth. There is no
doubt but what Tillmania has taught the
people of that state a needed lesson but
it is not desirable that the lesson should
become menace and if the Republicans
and conservative Democrats unite to re
strain it the common cause may excuse
the otherwise unseemly alliance.

Those who argue that government
should supersede the individual in many
lines of enterprise occasionally meet with
facts difficult to dispose of according to
their theories. One of these is the far
greater expense incurred in building the
Cincinnati and the Raleigh at navy yards
rather than at private yards. 1t was found
that it took the navy yard at Brooklyn
and the one Mt Norfolk five years to CON
struct two 5000 ton ships without armor
at cost 30 per cent greater than the
Cramps bid; also that during this time
the Cramps built three ships, one of $3.50
tons and the other two of 1880 tons each
and got them into service ahead of the
navy ward ships.
