It has transpired in the mastering Of
troops into the United States service
that quite a good many men have been
rejected for physical reasons A
glance into these reasons has revealed,
says an investigator Of the subject,
the fact that about ninety per cent. Of
the cigarette smokers among the vol
unteers have been rejected and sent
hone. Much has been said about the
physical degeneration which invari.
ably follows the 9 Of cigarettes. but
this is perhaps q demonstration Of this
on O scale never before made. So fatal
is the cigarette to thoroughly devel-
oped constitutional manhood that it's
use ought to be prevented by law, if
there is any way Of reaching the prac
ticabIe enactment of a statute covering

DAVID WARD WooDs.-The silent.
bushwhacking traitors OF this country
are the newspapers that would mort
gage the American people, soul heart
and body, to the grasping capitalists
ofthe world. Wall street has always
beena traitor to the republic. It would
tread the flag in the mud and murder
liberty for gain. It would starve wild
ows and orphans for its kind Of pros
perity. Itrobbed the government and
threatened il when the government
was gasping for breath in 1861. It
forced it to sell its bonds for fifty cents
on the dollar, paid for them in green
backs and finally forced it to pay the
bonds in gold. It is in q conspiracy
to day with the R0thschilds TO rob the
honest, toiling millions OF this country;
and if the Spanish navy ever sends a
shell into New York it should fall right
into the center Of Wall street. Not
one of the gamblers in this nest OF mi
guilty would shoulder q gun. The army
must come from a plain people, from
the workshops and factories and farms
and Unjust fight TO protect the miser
able business in Wall street, while it
is fighting to preserve the honor of the
country and for universal freedom.

The rich man has no more right to
repose than the poor. He is as much
bound to labor as the poor; not to la
Dor in the same way, but to labor as
really, as efficiency, as intensely. I
am tempted to say more intensely, be-
cause he has q sphere so much wider
and nobler opened to him. No man
has q right to seek property in order
that he may enjoy, may lead a life OF
incidence, may throw all toll on anoth-
er class of society. This world was
not made for ease. It's great Law lie &C.
ton for the good Of others still moro
than for our own. This is its law, and
we violate it only to our own misery
and guilt.-William Ellery Charming.

e Z. JEFFERY. The unemployed
should have the first opportunity to
enlist in the army and men with fami
lies and with a competence should not
crowd forward to hll places which

army should be men of ability and will
probably come. in many instances,
from the ranks Of those having EN-

without regard for special ability of

in charge Of incompetents. IL we get

Have a Right to Know.

The country asks no more than
it has right to know; the truth
full reason why soldiers were stsrv-
ed in the field; with provisions
tsi iiied up, and why the sick and
wounded were not better cared for.
No restriction whatever was placed
by Congress upon the administra-
ton in spending money to buy
and distribute anything that was
needed by our soldiers. The
things were bought, and certainly
enough men were employed to see
that they were distributed, yet it is
known that they were not distribu-
ted. Why ? That is the question
to be answered.

A vigorous campaign is to be
made by our next Congressman,
George L. Neal. The much talked
of oratory and the pleasing but
shallow rhetorical phrases we hear
about issuing from the lips of
Romeo III. Freer can be met by
Geo. 1. Neal and hurled back with
force that will astound His Honor.
Mr.. Neal, though young in years,
is old in experience, and he has a
head and tongue that will be used
to such advantage in this campaign
that the enthusiasm of the Grand
Old Democracy will be aroused to
the highest pitch, and a cor
responding damper will settle over
the Republican party as to chill
them to the very marrow of their

Four Things Worth Knowing.
A women who ought to know
says that egg shells burned to a
dark brown in the oven and crush
ed quite fine will keep all kinds of
bugs away when sprinkled on
pantry shelves.
Cut flowers will keep much
longer if small quantity of alum
is added to the water in which
they are placed A solution
should be made by dissolving the
alum in hot water, allowing it to
cool, and then adding to fresh
water in about the proportion of a
tablespoonful to a pint.
Lemon juice will remove rough
ness and vegetable stains from the
hands. After having the hands in
hot soap suds rub them with a
piece of lemon. This will prevent
chapping and make the hands soft
and white.
Silverware can be cleansed
brighter and will keep brighter
longer when cleaned with lemon
than with any other preparation.
