CIGARETTES And INSANITY.
There is an Extremely Close Connection
Between Them.
The Great Increase in Insanity is At
tributed to the "Pernicious Cigar
ette-Smoking Habit"

Cigarettes have fairly earned the
name of coffin tacks,' by virtue Of
their health destroying powers. 1t now
seems, according to the statement of a
wel1-known physician of the West, DIR.
Benjamin Blackford, that they may do
even worse things than cause death
After a careful examination of a great
number of patients at lunatic asylum,
and a thorough investigation into the
family history of each case, it was
found that the majority of the younger
patients had been addicted to the use of
cigarettes.
This in itself was strongly suggestive
of the effect of cigarette smoking on
the system-of the close connection be-
tween this habit and the condition of
the nerves-but DR.. Blackford did not
stop there. He performed a number Of
experiments, calculated to show just
what influence cigarette smoke inhala-
tion exercises on the throat and the del
icate tissues, blood vessels and nerves
OF the lungs and bronchial tubes. The
result of his Investigations was rather
alarming.
ITO greater or less extent" he says,
this increase OF insanity may be at
tributed to the pernicious cigarette
smoking habit, now so long prevalent
among and undermining the moral,
physical and mental health of the
youth of our country during the period
of youth and development, when the
brain is tender and plastic and easily
affected by the noxious inhalations is
suing through and around the nerve
centers."
Cigarette smoking and cigar smoking,
it is further pointed out, are two en-
tirely different things. One may smoke
cigars to excess, and though he would.
of course, suffer i'll consequences, there
would be very little chance of his be-

VIEW.

Biggs Argus: Looking at the propo-
sition to fund the railroad debt from a
business point of view, Notwithstanding
the senseless insinuations of certain pa
pers and personages that all who ex-
press the opinion that it would be to the
best interest of the Government to fund
the railroad debt are not sincere and
are in the pay of the railroad company,
we are still of the same opinion. We
do not believe that 1T is good business
sense for this Government to pay over
$150,000, 900 for something that it could
build for $50,000,000 Yet this is just
about what it will do if it forecloses on
the road.

PROTECTION.

Los Angeles Times: Senator Caffery
of Louisiana unconsciously advanced
good argument for protection in his re-
cent speech on the free coinage amend
ment to the bond bill. He quoted the
Senate report of the Fifty-second Cons
gress, showing that between 1860 and
1891 there had been decline in the cost
Of fuel and lighting of 8 per cent; in
house furnishing goods of 30 per cent;
in clothing of 10 per cent, and decline
in all manufactured goods where in
ventive methods have been applied,
while there was an advance of per
cent. in food products. He might have
added that there was material ad-
vance in the rates of wages during the
period named, in nearly all industries,
by which the purchasing power of
wage -earners was still further in
creaSpd.

DO WE WANT IT?


Chico Chronicle Record: Do we want
this State to be in the clutches of the
Goulds and Vanderbilts? Go ask the
people of New York; go inspect the
railroad condition of the regions long
under the control of this gigantic mo-
nopoly; go inquire of the people who
understand the situation-and then an
swer this question of such vital i'm
portance to us all.
We no longer need to group in the
darkness, for Judge Mcguire clearly
demonstrates the fact that the fore
closure of the Government lien is
prompted by a Gould Vanderbilt syndi-
cate 1t is the intention of the syndi-
cate to have the Government foreclose
it's mortgage and sell the road in order
that they might buy it at a low figure.
Then the road will be consolidated with
The Eastern system controlled by the
syndicate.
This means a dangerous Eastern man
agement and the subordination of the
commercial industries of California to
the interests of the railroad systems of
this grasping syndicate. How clearly
the issue is defined-it is the funding
bill, or Eastern monopoly Can we
0eSlldIe even IOT d ulOiHenl III our
choice?
The San Francisco Examiner has
proven a traitor to the best interests
of California. 1t does not take a
prophet to see that the Examiner has
been bought by the Goulds and Van
derbilts. This purchasable paper has
attempted to misrepresent the senti-
ments of the people of California
But now when it discovers that it is
floating on the wrong straw, it is wig
Cling about in every direction
Notwithstanding the false lights here
and there. in spite of pretending pro-
phets, in defiance Of the San Francisco
Examiner, the people of this locality,
at least, are thoroughly convinced that
as between the funding bill and the sub
servance to Eastern machinations,
there can be but one choice.
1T WAS A MARES NEST.
Stockton Mail: After printing col
umns of slush about the failure of
somebody or other to transmit to Con-
gress the BeIshaw, resolution, which put
the California Legislature on record as
being opposed to funding the Pacific
railroads debts, the San Francisco
EXAMINER finds itself in the very ri
diculous position Of having made much
ado about nothing. The facts are that
the resolution was wired to Washington
on the day of its passage, was presented
to the House by Representative Ma
guire and was referred to the Commit
tee on Pacific Railroads. All this can
be substantiated by referring to the
records at Sacramento. though the
word Of Governor Budd that the reso-
luton fulfilled its mission will be
deemed sufficient.
On Wednesday night the Examiner
received word from Congressman Ma
guire that he had received the resolu-
tion and introduced It. This statement

Primitive MeansOf A Announcing Wares
Before the Day of the Newspaper.

|
! Before the Day of the Newspaper.
| The wise in the business would have for
many ages avaiied them selves OF the sci
ence OF advertising. One OF the most an
cicnt modes OF attracting public patronage
! was by means OF public criers, long before
| the ge OF printing. The mediaeyal crier
| used to carry horn with which to fix the
| attention OF the people when about to make
| a proclamation or publication. They
| formed, a well organized body in France
| as early as the twelfth century. Under
charter from Louis VII they were entitled
| to penny for every time they blew their
| horns; and could force themselves upon
tavern keepers, to buy their wares, under
general statute. They at a very early
period formed themselves intoa corporation,
and in / 25S obtained from Philip Angus
tus favorable statutes OF the most tyranni-
cal kind.
In England public criers appear to have
been a national institution at an early
period. They cried all kinds of goods and
were sworn TO tell truly and well to the
best of their ability and power" After
awhile the bellman or town crier was ap-
pointed for the benefit Of the community at
large. In most Of the country towns OF
Great Britain, and even in London, there
are still beilmen and parish criers, though
their offices are little more than sinecures.
The provincial crier's duties are of the
most varied description and relate to OBJ
jects lost or found, sales by public auction
or private contract, weddings, christen-
ings or funerals.
But the bellman as means of advertis-

surmounted by revolving turrets, on which
were painted flaming announcements OF

rode up and down the principal thorough

either side of them to attract public attcn-

The first regular newspaper, the Certain

AGAIN THE BOWLING GREEN.
The Old English Game IL Now n
Fashionable Pastime. =

Mgr York Sun. -
Go.f is bringing another old game into
fashionable fever. Thisis the sport OF 10 wis.,
essentially the same game played by our
ancestors in that little park on lower Broad
way still known as the Bowling Green.
At the Morris County Golf Club, near
Morristown, the ground first used for cro-7
quet has been converted into bowling
green, and the game is also fiourishiDg at
some of the other golf clubs. The golfers
find that game of bowls enlivens the other
wise idle hour passed waiting for the finish
of a match on the links, besides being, in
general, pleasant outdoor pastime, re-
quiring more than ordinary aptncss TO be-
come proficient.
Arthur Post introduced, or, rather, re-
vived bowls at Morristown. for there are
records intact showing that the game flour
ished there in early colonial times. Some
of the best players are A. b. Frost, Ransom
II. Thomas, Marmaduse Tilden. A. II. Tiers,
william Shipper and Henry P. Phipps. But
there is no Jack of aspirants at Morristown
for bowling fame. In fact, to stand well in
the estimation of the avsrage Morris county
golfer now it is only necessary to say that
his style at bowls recalls his grandfather.
Inpia wing each man ha two bowls, which
he projects across the lawn at the Jack"
The Jack is a yellow wooden ball, and
when set for the game one is at each end OF
the bowling green. Four usually play,
two on a side VIII o bowl in turn. The OBJ
ject Is to lay the bowl as close as possible
tothe Jack, and to knock away the of

are studded with brass on one side, SO
that when sent with the proper twist they
will roll around an intervening bowl and
take place near to the Jack. In the hands
OF an expert the bowls will do great
clearing OF the green, besides gaining the

modern bowling alley.
In the time of Queen Anne and the first
