There is no other Legislation

OF possibility by the present con
gress: This bankruptcy bill. is
lot supreme Importance to save
the victims Of. the gold standard
from lifelong persecution by re-
lentless creditors. Senator; Mel
son has stood by his guns with
bulldog tenacity, early and late,
in season and out of season.. to
force action on that bill, but so
far without result. Now where
are the free silver senators who
have made such >pretensious of
devotion to the cause of the poor
creditors?, Are they so partisan
that they will not help good
law through, because, forsooth,
it is championed by a republican
senator? We do not know, but
we do know that some of these
free silver senators are hypo-
critics or the bankruptcy law
would have been passed long
ago. An equitable bankruptcy
law is at present of more urgent
necessity than even free coinage
of silver. Millions of our best
business men are bankrupt, and
until by some practical and mex
pensive process they can be
freed of the debris of the old
wreck, they cannot begin bust
ness again. Better times and
more money will not help man
who is so far in debt that he
never can pay it, and who is
unable to engage in business to
make the wherewith to pay it,
because creditors stand ready to
fight over the first dollar he gets
ahead. TO neglect to pass this
bankruptcy bill is not simply a
mistake, but a crime against the
American people: G. J.

It may be thought BY some
that it is not wise for us to. say
all this; but we feel now, as we
did at the opening of the session,
"that be serves his party best
who serves his state best" We
are not of those who make a
fetish of a party. The end of
government is the happiness of
the people, and parties are but
instruments to that end. If the
principles of the Peoples Party
can win we care little who gets
the glory or the Offices.
We believe that this: couu try
is on the eve of great events; and
that a general breaking up of old
party lines is near at hand; and
that out of the turmoil and con-
fusion will be born an organiza-
ton of which the spirits of
Washington and Jefferson and
Jackson and Lincoln will be
members in the spiritual world:
and which all the good and true
men of America will sustain on
earth, by voice and act and vote.
In the meantime let the Peoples
Party hold it's ranks. intact, so
that it may strike with the CON-
pactness of a giants arm, when
the hour for action is marked on
the dial of time.-I. D. in Rep
reSentative.

From District No. 48.

EDITOR W1LLMAR TR1BUNE-If
you want to see justice done to
all classes. We, the undersigned
citizens and taxpayers of school
district No. 48. ask space for the
following statement in regard to
our school trouble:
Some of the boys drew an i'm
proper picture on a sheet of
paper. Several were guilty of
adding to it. The teacher then
selected one boy and gave him
a brutal thrashing with an oak
rule, so that the boy was badly
hurt, and black and blue for over
two weeks after. All efforts TO
get a reasonable explanation from
the teacher for making such
brutal vengeance on one and let
ting the others escape has been
unavai]ing. We have applied to
the authorities, bnt they refuse
to act. Some parents are now
afraid to send their children to
the school for fear that this
teacher may, in a fit of rage,
seriously injure them. Is there
no way that parents can be rea-
sonab]y sure that inhuman pun
ishment shall not be dealt out to
their children when in school?

CIGARETTE SMOKING.

Will c. J., of THE TRIBUNE, ex-
plain the effects of cigarettes on the
system? Some of the smart (?) young
men seem to think that without cigar
cites they are not men. For their
benefit please explain the effects
Green Lake correspondent in last issue
of TRIBUNE.
Tobacco is not, strictly speak
ing, a necessity to any body, yet,
properly and moderately used, it
is perhaps the least hurtful of
the artificial calmatives that the
over-strained nervous system of
nineteenth century man gener-
ally Graves in some form. When
the brain is tired and irritated
by incessant, and often vain,
efforts to solve the perplexities
of the modern struggle for ex-
istence, tobacco will and does
Fsoothe the troubled mind as
nothing else. This is the ply
Biological fact that underlies the
extensive use of tobacco, as well
as the world wide use of mar
cotics in some form or other, in
spite of all laws and edicts from
time to time against it. But
when the use of tobacco becomes
an inveterate habit, it becomes
an evil and nothing else. And
when it is used outside of it's
legitimate sphere it's effect is
detrimental to health. To the
youth its use is always injurious.
And cigarette smoking is the
worst form of using tobacco.
The reason is that the nearer
to the mouth and the hotter the
smoke, the more nicotine and
carbonic oxide it carries in solu-
ton into the mouth, throat and
bronchi, and deposits there to
irritate the mucous mem brane
and weaken the whole system.
To make clear what we mean,
just take an old ]ong-stemmed
pipe and see what an amount of
deposit of nicotine you find in
side the stem. The small amount
of tobacco smoked in the form of
cigarettes, as in the pipe in ques.
tion' would have been deposited
in the cavities of the mouth and
throat instead of in the pipe, for
cigarettes are generally smoked
quite to the end, and are very
porous, SO it. does not filter the
smoke. For the same reason it
is very bad practice to smoke
the last third Of a cigar, as in
that part is deposited. a large
part Of the nicotine of the rest
of the cigar: Cigarette smoking
is to be condemned in all, but it
IS especially detrime entail to the
young. It cannot be INDUCED in
to any degree without serious
consequences. All heavy cigar
cite smokers carry the mark in
their com lexions. II boys want
to be men they must quit cigar
|ette smoking. j.
