: The report of the committee on party
organization proposed q plan that in
effect relieved the State Chairman of
much of his arbitrary power of appoint

place in the I'd and Sd districts.

and to defer action till the next State

ton.
At the suggestion of Chairman Lamb the
State committee membership was reduced
from so TO 3Q-three from each district. The

bacco consisting of gentian root, prick ly ash bark, sassafras bark and extract of licorice.
 Another patent is for a method by which the smoker is enabled to acquire a mild jag with each cigar ne con sumes. The manufacturer prepares a mixture consisting of one gallon of rum, one gallon of alcohol. a quarter of a pound of oil of apple, half a pound Of Tonka bean, half a pound of vaierian root, and a quarter of a pint of lauda- mum. This Is to be put in a stone jug and kept tightly corked for a month. It will then be ready for use. While the cigars are being packed in boxes, the end to be lighted of eachone is dipped in the liquor. It is expected that nobody who gets used to cigars prepared in this will be satisfied with any other thereafter. Such a liquor is known in the trade as a sauce" All tobaccos are treated with sauces" be- fore being made up into their conner cial forms. By this means they are favored in various ways, so as to adapt them to the tastes of consumers.
 Mucilaginous substances in small quantities are added to cigarette to- bacco so that the particles may hold together and not fall out of the paper wrapper. Some pipe tobaccos are heavily charged with perfume by treating them with essential oils of verbena, citronelle, bergamot, casia musk and catechI. It is not true that cigarettes are commonly charged with opium and other injurious drugs. However, they are favored with es- sences of various plants, such as vanil- la, stramonium, coffee, valerian and tea. Occasionally a few tea leaves are mixed with the tobacco. Among the flavors most used are the lemon, the orange, geranium, sassafras, thyme, anise, mint and cinnamon. Honey and maple sugar are utilized for sweeten- ing. A decoction oS hay is sometimes applied 10 smoking tobacco.
 The basis of a sauce" is nearly al- ways some spirituous liquor. usually rum. Sometimes wine is used. Glyce- rine is a common ingredient More or less n1olasses enters into the compost ton of much plug tobacco. The rum preserves the tobacco and adds to the flavor of the plug. The plug trade for the United States navy is large and it is required by the government that the tobacco furnished in this shape for the use of it's sailors shall contain no for eign substance except a limited per l centage of licorice. Saltpetre is some times added to smoking tobacco to
 make it burn better. The tobacco | leaves are dipped into a sauce" or else sprinkled with 1t.

FOR FAIn INTERPRETATIONS.

As appears from the letter signed by Isaac M. Ullman which we publish on another page this morning an attempt is to be made to call serious attention to the inequality of Republican repre- sentation which exists in this State. There have been some previous at- tempts to do the same thing, but for various reasons they have not been very successful. This one will be sys- tematically and forcefully made, and 1t may therefore at least lead to general and thorough discussion even if it does not lead to speedy action. We call the special attention of our readers to the letter. The situation could hardly be more strongly and fairly stated than it is therein. The facts and figures are impressive and they make their own argument We shall look for the re- turns from this powerful letter with great interest

THE AFRICAN CATTLE PI


 The cattle plague which is now rav- aging central, eastern and southern Africa threatens to destroy not only all the cattle but all the ruminants, both wild and domestfcated. MT. George Fleming, formerly principal veterinary surgeon of the British army says there can be little doubt that it is the cattle plague which has caused havoc in western Europe at various times dur ing the last two thousand years-one of the most subtle and destructive of all animal disorders, the percentage of deaths from which, when it invades a region to which it is stranger, is enormously high-80 or 90, or even more. It must have been introduced into Africa, he thinks, as it is an exotic in that quarter of the globe. It is an Asiatic plague its home being in Gen. tral Asia, though it appears frequently in other parts of that continent, and is e1iiiAObt PlSDSiit III liOlliitlA India, whence it makes irruptions into various localities and even into Calcut- ta. It is not at all unlikely, he adds, that the invasion of Africa was origin ally due to infected animals from h. dia, as the plague first manifested it. self on the east coast in 1889, near Alden. If it has taken so long to reach South Africa, the delay, he thinks, has been due to the slender facilities for conveyance of the infection owing to the almost total absence of communi- cation between different regions and tribes, and probably wild infected ru- minants. such. as buffaloes and ante | lopes, have had a larger share in l spreading it than human agency. He foresees a terrible calamity in South Africa if the most heroic measures in the way of stamping out are not adopted instantly.
