THE wEYLER CIGAR.

We have . new grievance against Wey-
Ter. and IL y likely to bring him into great
q odium with Americans than even the
stories Of his methods OF campaigning. II
seems that his order against the exporta-
ton Of tobacco extends only to the inner
qualities. but he intends getting even with
Americans By permitting expectation Of
the Inferior grades. II IL not improbable
that weylers name viii have . new sig
nticancs and be ever held in adherence.
Every foul1melhng cigar viii be known

the bad cigars a. Henry Clay win always
be regarded ~ the sponsor Of good cigars.
The news that the best Havanas can no
longer be had comes In very handy at
time when other circumstances have con-
spired to check the trafiic In three for q
halr' cigars and to increase the popular
ity OF the nve-center. 1t will also afford
candidates convenient apology for sub
shutting Q cheaper quality of sociable
smoke for those highly favored, high
priced Habanas they have hitherto been
in the habit Of courteously thrusting upon
the genial elector.
All these mitigating circumstances ana
temporary advantages Of the Spanish gen.
erals diabolical policy viii soon be forgot
ten. however. and to the end of all time
the disagreeable designation "stinker" win
be superseded by the more euphonious but
equally condemnatory "wey.er."
