Don't Stop Tobacco.
HOW TO CURE YOURSELF WHILE
USING IT.

The tobacco habit grows on man until
his nervous system is seriously affected,
impairing health, comfort and happiness.
To quit suddenly is too severe a shock to
the system as tobacco to an inveterate
user becomes a stimu1ant that his system

less. You can use all the tobacco you

WHO WILL THE BANNER BEAR.
Err BE.

Err BE.
1t is generally conceded that Gov.
William Mckinley, of Ohio, is the
Napoleon of the Republican Presi-
Dental possibilities.
AS regards instructions he is far in
the lead, and it will require a decided
revulsion in public sentiment to defeat
him in the st. Louis Convention. He
is the strong man, and the field is
against him. This is always the fate
and sometimes the misfortune of the
strongest and most available.
The enthusiastic followers of Ohio's
favorite son are confident that no com.
binations and alliances against him
can be successful. What happened
leading to the nominations of HAYES
and Garfield can occur again. There
is no sure thing in politics." Many a
political leader has had his grasp
almost upon the crown who has lived
to see another coroneted in his stead.
We believe Mckinley is overwhelm.
ingly the choice of the Republican
party and that he will be easily nomi-
mated. But at the same time we are
not oblivious to the fact that if he fails
of nomination on one of the first few
ballots that the opposition will be
greatly encouraged and emboldened
and will have fresh and fayoring op.
portunities to organize and solidify
their forces for his overturning. This,
in u opinion, is the only peril that
menaces Mckinley. Reed is the dan
gerous man, the other booms are mere
side diversions, yet their alignment
may prove formidable.
Whilst we could not regard the defeat
of Mckinley as an i~rreparable mis-
fortune nor as an occasion for serious
encouragement, yet we do believe that
his nomination would do more to dis
sipate the gloom, rekindle the hopes
and revive the courage and confidence
of the American people than anything
that could happen. He is a popular
idol. Conservative and cautious and
yet q nan of magnificent courage and
ability. He is especially the represen
tative and embodiment of the domi
nant ideas and measures of the Repub
lican party which have been illustrated
by the signal prosperity of the country
for the last thirty years. He stand,
for all that is pure, good, grand anG
progressive in American politics. Hi
is the white flower of a blameless life
When he bears its banner the Repub
lican party can say with him what ha.

gnished Republican orator, land whel
the time comes, as it will surely come

a great many other things she has not
got and which she has no excuse for
not having. A town whose capital is
wholly absorbed in banking and mer'
chandize-two indispensable necessi-
ties-can not prosper and grow. There
must be a diversity of interests and in

the marvellous and solid expansion of
the towns and cities of the West and
the East. Jonesboro can not depend

A CLEAN SWEEP.
The Presidents Civil Service Ideas
Bear Fruit.

WASHINGTON, May president
Cleveland today practically sounded
the death knell of the spoils system in
politics as applied to the smaller APP
pointive National Government offices,
He issued an order placing on the clas-
sified civil service list over twenty nine
thousand clerks and others, leaving
only a few positions outside of chiefs
OF departments. private clerks and the
Assistant Secretaries to be filed by in.
coming administrations. Democratic
office holders IN the departments are
in great glee over the order. They ex
pect to remain on Uncle Sans pay
roll for life.
An order had been expected by poll
ticians for several weeks, but none
supposed for an instant that it would
be SO sweeping when it did appear.
Coming as it does, just before the two
big conventions, it creates untold EN-
barrassment, as the leaders must de-
clare themselves either one way or the
other-against the President and civil
service and for the spoils system or re-
wards for political services, or for
civil service pure and simple.
The order is particularly e%ntangling
to the Democrats, because they have
to declare against civil service or pass
resolutions indorsing it. In the latter
case they will naturally have to en-
dorse Cleveland.
1t was stated at the Civil Service
Commission Office to-day that the order
would add o 1899 positions io'the elias,
sified list, increasing the number OF
classified positions from $3.50 to
So, 1856.
The number of classified places
which are excepted from examination
has been reduced from 2,099 to 775
being mainly positions as cashiers in
the customs, postal and internal reve
nue. services.
Indians employed in minor capacities
in the Indian service are necessarily
put in the excepted list.
Almost all the positions in Wash
ington which have heretofore been ex
cepted have been included in the com
p%etitive list. The only classified posi-
tons in Washington which will he ex
cepted from examination under tn,
new rules will be private secretaries o.
confidential clerks, not exceeding two
to the President and to the heads o
the eight executive departments.
No position will hereafter be subjec
to non competitive exa nination, ex
cept in the cases of Indians employed
in teaching capacity in the lndial
service.
