l think the parents OF Augusta should
unite in thanking Mr.. Graves for his
timely and thoughtful warning on the
evils of the cigarette habit. ] regard it
as one of the most insidious and de-
structive evils of the age. One thought.
however. came home to me very forcbly
as read Mr. Graves article. It was
this: "Why should any boy be per-
mitted to smoke cigarettes in public in
Augusta or any other community in
Maine?" II is evident that our present
unenforced law is in itself defective.
Which. perhaps, is reason for it's
failure to achieve results. This law
aims solely at the man who sells cigar
cites to boys under l6 years of age;
but we all have had opportunities to
see how easy 1t is for dealers who We're
not disposed to observe the provisions
of this law to evade them by selling to
minors through some third party The
thing to be done is TO REACH THE
Soy HIMSELF. If ii is To be an
offence against the law for dealers to
sell cigarettes to minors. why should ii
not be an offence for minors to smoke

Mondays Boston Journal contains
the following:
Hon. Samuel ". Mathews of Au-
gusta. commissioner of the bureau OF
statistics of Maine. who has been cam
oaigning through North Carolina state.
passed through Boston on Sunday and
called upon the journal. Mr.. Matthews
was a resident of the old North state
be fore the war. and is enthusiastic over
the bright promise which it gives of
joining the Republican column at the
coming national election.
Hon. Thomas r. Purnell of North
Carolina with the Endorsement of
Judge Daniel L. Russell. the Republic
can candidate for Governor, a typical
North Carolina. and Solicitor Mott of
Charlotte, have given Mr.. Matthews
TIE figures upon which he bases his
estimate of majority of at least 10000
fer Mckinley and Russell. which he
said might be increased as the figures
were manipulated
They are for protection and sound
money in North Carolina more than in
any other state. Great reliance is
placed this year upon the new election
laws adopted last year by which it is
| believed that the vote this year will
be an honest one and honestly counted.
The Democrats and Populists will not
fuse. That is settled
The figures given show:
Democratic majority in 1892, includ-
ing fraudulent returns. $4,000. The cleo
ton frauds gave 10000 votes: the Re
publican gains equal 10000 votes: there
are $1,000 sound money Democrats this
year making q total of $4,000 from
hich. deducting the 14,o00 reputed
Democratic majority of 80, an excess
of A., 000 is shown on the other side.

IT LOOKS WELL.
Hon. S. W. Matthews Predicts Victory
for Mckinley and Sound Money.
Has Been on Stump in North Carolina
terview on The Result.

Hon. S. w. Matthews returned, Mon
day evening, from North Carolina.
where he has been doing very effective
work on the stump for the Republican
party. Mr. Matthews predicts the cleo
ton of Mckinley by tremendous ma
iori.y. and says that sound money will
surely defeat the foolishness of the free
silver cry. He has been away from home
about three weeks, speaking in North
Carolina two weeks.
At his Green street home, Monday
terview with Mr., Matthews. IN re-
Spouse to the reporters queries he said:
Il have been speaking in the factory
towns of North Carolina, reaching Ra-
leigh, Sunday morning. Oct. 4. l was
received by the Republican state COM
mittee and taken to it's headquarters.
There | found the members extremely
busy. and ali indications showed that a
number of sound money Democrats and
hundreds of Populists would cast their
ballots for Mckinley.
"A feeling of confidence seemed to
prevail all around. for Republican sue
cess In thriving villages l found
agents and owners of mills, many of
| them heretofore Democrats. Interested
| in our speeches and active in promot-
ing the success of the meetings and
thoroughly imbued with the princi-
Piles of sound money and protection.
THE advocacy of protection is a pop
ular doctrine in North Carolina among
men of all classes. the state being for
| merly a Wing state, and protection
seems to have been inherited by the
people.
While in North Carolina | met
Judge Russell the Republican candi-
date for Governor, and listened 10 q
speech delivered by him at Charlotte.
y. c. The judge is confident of his
election and is not afraid to tell the
people of it.
AT New York. on my return | saw
Mr.. Manley. evidently hard at work,
and evidently leading member of the
Executive committee, receiving many
callers. Among the members Of the
committee and the men whom | met /
found 4 feeling of confidence on the
result.
North Carolina VIII surely go for
Mckinley and sound money. One rea
son assigned by prominent Republicans
for "a belief in the success of the party
is that the Republicans have the ad-
rantage Of n Well organized party
really a good ma iorty fighting dis
organized enemy
The press of North Carolina contains
.,.any words of commendation of Mr..
Matthews work on the stump in that
state.
