PURE TOBACCO.
Tho London Lancet Says 1t Is Not Injuri-
GUS to Smokers.

Referring to the agitation started in
France by society which acts on the
principle that tobacco is always use
less often harmful and sometimes homi-
cidal, " The Lancet says: 1--WE agree In
SO far that we allow tobacco to be some
times very harmful. 1t is, of course, a
poison, but so is tea, as also coffee
two vegetable products which are con-
sumed by nearly every inhabltant OF
either England or France. All three can
be and very often are abused, but this
does not do away with their reasonable
use. In these days of rush and hurry to-
bacco has often a most soothing and
restful effect. The tobacco sold in
France is, to put it mildly, not good,
and although i'll England it is possible
to buy fairly good tobacco it is next
door to impossible to get it pure.
"That is to say, it is nearly always
scented or treated in some way SO as to
give it an artificial flavor. Cigars are
beyond the purse of any but a rich man,
and as for cigarettes the filth sold as
such is beyond description. A pure to-
bacco society would be an admirable in
stitution, and, as for the traders saying
customers like scented tobacco, the
customer seldom gets the chance of
smoking anything else. The truth is
that, as in the case of highly scented
tea or soap, it is cheaper to fake infe-
rior qualities of stuff than to supply the
real thing. To be unsophisticated an
article must be of good quality, but the
craze for cheapness is running every
thing, and when people buy cigarettes
at SO cents a hundred it is not to be
wondered at that they get-well, an in
ferior article.
In view of these dicta it is interesting
to note that cigarettes are turned out 10
large quantities by firms of repute at a
retail price nearly third less than the
price entioned by The Lancet. Lon

Come listen to my story, men,
IT'S not so very stale;
Twas the first day of the season
When Rudolph killed the quail.
Twas not just one by any means
But just a score and one;
That Rudolph bagged the first day out
With Teddy and his gun.
Now quail were pretty scarce this year,
AS all good gunners know;
And people here began to think
That Rudolph was not slow.
But some are bound to have their doubts
And bout such stories rail;
In tact they would not swallow 1t
Unless they saw the quail.
Behold the man OF noble birth,
Whose deeds the world excite,
Who has TO tread this little earth,
And prove his words are right.
The man who tolls not, but does spin
Long tales of valor done;
Who, when he bets, does always win
And matchless Is with gun.
"'Tis nonsense, sir, for folks to think,
That men of my estate
Who would not even take drink,
Should thus prevaricate.
"Come forth, We doubters, one and all
And view them where they lay:
And will swear by great and small
shot them all this day.
Then up our worthy Brownie came,
Looks long before he speaks;
Then did in thunderous tones exclaim
"These have been dead two weeks"

In his Jackson day speech Mr.. Bryan
used the phrase independent bimetal-
lism." Ifthis means anything it is that
in his scheme silver will be independent
of gold. What Mr.. Bryan favors is silver
recommendation, independent of all other
nations and all other conditions, but he is
not candid enough to say so.

The late Professor Jowett had a curl

that was brought to him by students.
On one occasion he was shown set of
Greek verses. After looking them over
carefully he glanced up rather blankly

Bryan says Jackson was an enemy of
trusts. This is correct. Jackson was an
enemy of trusts, and this is one of the
many points in which Jackson differs from
Bryan. Bryan is spokesman of the most
persistent and most dangerous trusts the

the silver trust.-St Louis Gzo6e-Dem-

AN English statesman once said, or is
accused of saying, that he had known but
one woman in politics who would not ac-
cept money for her services, and she took
diamonds. Evidently that observation is
nothing more than an epigram, and may
be dismissed as too absurd for argument.
But it is certain that woman was in the
fray in Ohio. Representative Griffith, of
Uifion County, seems to be ore of those ir-
resolute mortals unable to stand still long
enough to be counted The Kurtz men
had been looking around for such material
for several months. They found that Mr.
Griffith could be depended on if his wife
said so in his presence, and they accord
ingly emil sted the lady in the anti-Hanna
deal. She sat by his side in the Legisla-
ture when he first voted for Mason, but he
finally cast his ballot for Hanna, and it
is but fair to presume that she was at the
last enlisted on the other side.

For at least seven years to come, or un-
til 1905, Ohio is sure of having a Senator
who will be an honest and pronounced
Republican at all times and under all cir
cumstances. who will stand up for the pol

and who has neither jealousies nor lean
ings toward disloyal practices to hamper
him in his devotion to his political faith
or to his partisan associates. Manly men
of all parties will rejoice at the election of

1t has been noticed that there have been
fewer celebrations of Jackson day this
year than usual. This is not strange. The
Bryanities who have had sense enough to
know what Jackson was on the money
question have no cause to love him. Jack

standard, would, if he were here now, be
called by Bryan tool of Wall street,
and an ''enemy of the human race"
