Borrowers of Tobacco.

There are some smokers who do not
buy tobacco or cigars more than once a
year. There is probably no other article
which is SO often borrowed and not re-
paid as tobacco. A wit in this city oIse
said in a newspaper paragraph, 1.-The
American people last year used 50,000,-
600 pounds of chewing tobacco, half of
which they borrowed. There is almost
as much truth as fun in that assertion.

Demoerats. Can it bts True2


 It was yesterday and today cur rently rumored upon the streets that shameful frauds were perpe- trated upon the ballot of some of the country precincts in the pri- mary election of Saturday last. If this be true, it is a disgrace to the Democratic party and a blot upon the good name of the people of our county, and an awful wrong to the candidate who has been feloniousIy deprived of the vote which was given him.
 lfit be true that votes have been stolen, the perpetrators of the foul deed should be hunted down, ar rested and punished, and the eandi- date who knowingly claims a nomi- nation obtained by theft and fraud upon his opponent, should be promptly deprived of it, and all honest men should cast wither- ing glance of indignant scorn upon him and let him understand and know that among the honorable people of this county, where he lives, that, though living, he IS socially, because morally, dead, No mar can agord to stand for office as a fraudulent nominee. The temper of the people of the Demo- cratic party would be aroused to the extent of spewing him out and openly repudiating him as a dastard who seeks and is willing to take and hold office by theft.
 The eyes of the people will be fixed on our Central Committee, and to it they will look fer vindi- cation; and for the sake of the good name of our people, our party and county, it will be expected to ferret out all dark places.
 No good man will, knowingly, accept a nomination thai is stolen. An honest man will ask and court the fullest investigation where fraud is charged at any precinct in this election, and will not hurry his

The Democratic party of Jefferson county is in travail A false step at this time will be fraught with the most serious con sequences to the Democratic party. As chairman of the Democratic County Central Committee it is your duty to see that no fraud is perpetrated and that absolute justice is done As Democratic newspaper, having never been false to the party in any emergency, being largely responsible for the up rising which wrested the county from the Republicans aud placed he Democrats in power, and as a faithful and loyal Democrat under any and all circumstances, we claim the right to advise. We therefore desire to say that there are allega, tions of fraud in several of the country ballot boxes and that the circumstances in pumber of la- stances are suspicious. It is there. fore your duty, Chairman TripIett, to sift tte matter to the bottom in the interest of an honest ballot No man should want a nomination not honestly secured, and the people of Jefferson county will not support a nominee whose nomination has been obtained by fradulent methods. Therefore purge the ballot of fraud, and throw out every ballot box tainted with fraud. Honorable Democrats will not accept anything but an honorable result, The people demand an honest ballot and will not accept anything less. A fraud in this primary will result in a political revolution in this county, and every person responsible for it will be hurled from everlasting 2 power.

Surgeon General of the United States Hospital Service, declares that the danger from yellow fever in Cuba has been much exaggerated. He says that the country is natural ly us healthful as any in the tropics, and that the chief breeding place of the infection is the upper end of Havana Bay, with it's filthy, stag nant water, beside which the military hospital is located in def- ance of all hygienic teaching Dr. Hamilton suggests that by locating the camps of the United States
 orces in the hills back of Matanzas, and subjecting them to systematic inspection and sanitation, the peril from the fever could be largely ob- liberated.
 "These brief but sufficient hints come from a medical and sanitary authority of the first rank, whose experience on the subject of levers has covered many years, and has been distinctly practical Dr. Hamilton was in charge of the yellow fever camps in Texas and Florida in 1882 and 1883, and of the cholera camp at Sandy Hook in 1892; and his advice, if given the heed by the Washington authorities which it's importance claims, would not only save the lives of many of our men, but initiate the sanitation of the island, which work must be one of the first in the rehabilitation of its material welfare

friends upon the committee to ren- der quickly decision of nomina- tion in his favor.
 It must be understood that our people will not submit to fraud in this matter All candidates are Democrats and regarded as honest men. The offices of the county do not belong to aay particular man, set, click or clan. The people are determined that the candidate must receive and have every vote that was cast in his favor counted for him. This much is demanded; nothing more, nothing less. The truly and honestly elected candidate must be ascertained and so de- elared. No man, whether he be private citizen, candidate or com mitteeman, can afford to object to the most thorough and searching investigation.

SPEAKER REED AND HAWAII.

Speaker Reeds attitude on the Hawaiian
anne Ration question has been the subject
of much comment for several days past. 1t
has been known for some time that Mr..
Reed is personally opposed to the acqui-
sition of the islands and that he was using
his influence as speaker of the House to
prevent any action in that direction. AS a
member of Congress he has the same right
to his views on this question as any other
member but it is a serious question of
constitutional right and parliamentary pro-
priety whether he has a right to use his
influence as speaker to enforce his views
as a member The speaker of a parlia-
mentary body is its organ and mouthpiece,
and should not have any policy of his own
different from that of majority of the
body. Recent events have given new sig
nificance to Mr.. Reeds attitude on the ques-
ton. The war with Spain has made more
clear than ever the strategic Importance of
Hawaii to the United States, and many of
the ablest men in Congress believe their pos
session is absolutely essential to our hold
ing the Philippines. 1t is also feared that
failure to acquire them soon may lead to
serious international complications. The
President is in favor of annexation, as are
a majority in both branches of Congress,
but Mr.. Reed continues his opposition and
has refused to permit a vote on 1t in the
House. Thirty Republican representatives
have signed a call for a caucus to commit
the party to immediate action on the ques-
ton, and as that number is more than
enough, the caucus will have to be called.
General Grosvenor, chairman of the caucus,
asked the signers to wait until Tuesday or
Wednesday of this week. and they agreed
to do so. Meanwhile an authorized state
ment of Mr.. Reeds position says he re-
CARDS the present question as not so much
one of annexation as of sound party poll
tics In linking annexation with the revenue
bill, as has been done in the Senate. THE
main thing" says the statement defining
Mr. Reeds position. SIS for Congress to
pass the revenue bill, make the appropria-
lions, avoid long session, free Washing
ton from local politics and leave the Presi-
dent and his advisers time to prosecute the
war to a successful conclusion. Annexa-
tions will then take care of themselves"
TIE Journal thinks the main thing is for the
majority in the House to have their way
whether the speaker approves it or not.
The lacking of an annexation amendment
to the revenue bill may not be the best way,
but IL q majority think circumstances JUS
