A MEETING was held at Chicago
recently of the Association OF Man
ufacturers OF the United States.
The warmest approval was given
by that body to the Nicaragua
canal project, which it is believed
President Cleveland now tavors
most heartily. Warner Miller at
tended the Chicago meeting and
made the speech of the session. He
argued most forcefully that the
highway would benefit commerce
by lessening fully 10000 miles the
distance between the Atlantic ane
the Pacific and in conclusion de
clared his conviction that if thu
United States did not follow up thu
enterprise, it would be taken in hant
and pushed to contamination by
Great Britain.

Civilized Men Take to Tobacco as q Level
Above the Lower Animals.
In the opinion Of about four in every
five men the essential difference between
man and the inferior animals is that
man smokes tobacco. Occasionally pre-
cocious monkey has been taught to
drink beer and smoke pipe-Old Tom
in the London zoo, for instanoe-but
this only emphasizes the exclusive hu-
manness of smoking. The monkey is
nearest kin to man and is in full prog
ress toward the human state. AS the
ultra temperance lecturers affirm, "a
dog wouldn't smoke the vile weed +"
No other animal than superior man and
the anthropoid ape will smoke. Perhaps
In the civilized white world one man in
five Is the victim of some defect that
disqualifies him for smoking. The de-
feet may be tendency to a canoerous
growth, or it may be wife or mother
in-law. The remaining four are in the
full enjoyment Of all their faculties
and the right to pursue happiness
through cloud of tobacco smoke.
Lack of opportunity to smoke is with
out doubt the most affective evil under
which a majority Of men suffer. A
large proportion of men are employed
In offices, stores and shops where rules
against smoking are rigidly enforced.
This is entirely proper. No superior
smoker ever smokes while working. Tt
do that is to debase the luxury and to
take off the keen edge Of the pleasure
1t is intemperance and dissipation. Tht
