IS THE TRIBUNE UNFAIR?

Mr.. Babcock in the present cam
paign, Il proper regard for the truth
would obige us to name the MIN
ERAL POINT TRIBUNE.
AS reasons for this opinion, the
Linden editor asserts that, The
TRIBUNE has attacked Mr., Babcock
with too much heat Has assailed
him with great unfairness, not to
say untruthfulness; has not hest
tated to charge him with personal
corruption, and failed to produce
even IA shred Of evidence to support
such statement" Thus the TRI-
BuNE "has made clear to many of is
readers that it desires only that the
republicans Of this county shall lend
themselves to the support of the SEN
ior editor in defeating Mr. Ba5cocks
nomination" Etc, etc.
Whether or not there has been "too
much heat in our opposition to Mr.
Babcock, is "A question on which his
supporters are probably the best
Judges. II it makes them hot they
naturally infer that the temperature
Of the TRGBUNE's assaults is to high.
The TRIBUNE has given reasons
for its opposition to Mr.. Babcock,
based upon his votes and and acts as
Il congressman, i'm relation 20 mat

The FRAGRANT HAVANA
Cigars Made in the Cuban Capital
Hard to Obtain at Any Price.

Havana cigars, that is, the Smon-pure
kind, made in the Cnban capital from
the fragrant leaf grown on Cuban soil,
are difficult to obtain in this market.
The jobbers of this city have very linz
tied stock, and many retailers cannot
obtain them at any price.
This sad condition Of affairs is attrib-
uted to the fact that, owing to u strict
blockade of the Cuban ports by the
American fleets, no exports of cigars or
tobacco have been made to this country
of one Of the greatest products OF the
war-ridden island.
But that is not the only reason; IN the
words of the vernacuar, There are
others" the principal one Of which is
the failure of three successive crops of
tobacco. The crops did not fail owing to
natural causes. This effect was brought
about by the edcts OF the Spanish
authorities, who would not permit the
planters in some Of the provinces to grow
tobacco; and also by the insurgents de-
stroying the growing crops OF 5pain's
s. ympathizing friends in other parts of
the island.
This has been going on for almost
three seasons. and the end is not yet,
unless the American army of occupation
and humanity, with the nplifted, venge-
ful sword, speedily puts an end to the
! present existing state OF affairs.
/ \ prominent cigar dealer of Whining
mington snid Yesterday:
! while there was talk OF war with
Spain in the halls Of Congress, and indi-
cations all over the world pointed to a
conflict with that nation over Cuba's
cause and Cuba's condition. the i'm
porters endeavored to get all the leaf and
cigars they could send from Havana.
This has resulted in bringing ont the fact
that Cuba is not as we'll supplied
with tobacco as was generally believed.
'The supply was cut short by a series
OF crop failures which lasted through
three successive seasons. owing to the
strict commands OF the Spanish to the
/ planters forbidding them t" raise their
crops and by the devastations of the in
surgents in other parts OF the island
While the war has had a great deal to do
with cutting off the supply. one can see
that it did not have everything to do
with it.
"There is still fairly good supply OF
Havana tobacco in this country, but how
long it will last is only probIcmatica
and when it is exhausted all the smokers
will have to resort to the purely Amcri-
can product or quit sinOk ing, whcl.
think they will hardly care to do.
