AGAINST CIGARETTES.
The War is On and They Will
Go.

The anti-cigarette law in the State
of Tennessee has been declared con-
stitutional. The Supreme Court, sit
ting at Knoxville, Tenn, on last Sat-
urday, announced that the case of W.
B. Austin VS.. State had been affirmed.
Judge Caldwell gave out the opionion
in full as follows:
"Austin admitted selling cigarettes
but denied that it was unlawful, con-
tending that the anti-cigarette law of
1897, under which he was indicted,
was obnoxious to the commerce
clause OF the Federal Constitution,
and, therefore, null and void. The
Supreme Court holds that cigarettes
are not Legitimate articles of COM
meroe; they are wholly obnoxious
and deliterious to health, and that not
being Legitimate articles of commerce
they are not within the provision of
the Federal constitution relied upon
by Austin, and that the State, there
fore had the right to prohibit their
importation and sale in the exercise of
its police power, as was done in the
law of 1897. The Court holds also
that the sale made in this case was
not an original package in the true
commercial sense, for which addition
tional reason the Federal law has no
application to this case. The judg-
ment of the Court below is affirmed"
The sale Of the cigarettes was stop
ped in Knoxville. Dealers contem-
plate taking the case to the United
States Supreme Court.

SOME ISSUES
In the Political Campaign of
1900.

Ina recent interview at Chicago,
Richard Croker, The New York Tam.
many politician was asked:
"On what lines do you think the
Democrats should proceed toward vi, .
tory in the future and in the campaign
of 1902"
81 think the right idea is home rule
and anti-monopoly. On those two is
sues think the Democratic can cafe y
pin their faith with every hope OF
success. The people want to govern
themselves, that is proper move and
popular one. The people do not want
monopolies. They have had so many
of them and so much of them since
the Republicans got into power, they
are heartily sick of them. There is no
defense of monopolies; the Repubii-
cans cannot defend them. No party
can. Bring those two issues before
the people and they will support them
heartily"
The tobacco producers of the coun-
try are pow feeling the effects of a
monopoly which attempts to control
the market.

For three weeks the young man

could recommend man for cashier

young man was at once named as q
suitable person.
"But," said the banker, "you dis.

Help the Cause.

There has never been political
campaign that equalled in import
ance that OF the one to be fought this
fall. The Republican party, backed
by the money power OF this country
and Europe, is alert and aggressive.
Flushed with the victory of two years
ago, ii will seek by every means in its
power to maintain its supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing
They must wage an unoeasing war
upon their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of good, found
Democratic newspapers. The pub
Usher of the Chicago Dispatch, the
Great national Democratic weekly,
will send to every new subscriber for
three months copy of the Chicago

taking the great political weekly, send

Greatest Factor in a Nations
Strength.

Law, learning and charity are in.
sufficient to save our nation from ig-
norance, vice and infidelity All have
been tried and found wanting. But
add to them the practical morality OF
Christianity, and pure and honora-
BILE citizenship is assured beyond all
fear. 1t is hard to convince the peo-
pie of this tremendous fact, sustained
by all history, ancient and modern,
Jewish and pagan. l believe in
churches, colleges, and houses of
mercy, and support them all but my
faith is in a citizenship born of Chris
tian faith and practice, Give us
these and the republic will live for
ever. We are in danger of forget
ting the sad fact in history that the
fate of republics is empire. Can we
reverse the verdicts of history? be-
lieye we can, by the application of the
principles of Christianity to American
citizenship.--Bishop Newman.
The above thoughts deserve the
serious attention of all men. Along
this line is victory over evil, aud
peace, prosperity and happiness.

TRUST OR NO TRUST.

IT matters not whether the trust or
the antitrust wins. The fact remains
that tobacco growers do not receive a
fair living price for their crops. They
have heretofore had no say in fixing
the price except the costly method of
rejecting sales. Forty thousand hogs
heads of tobacco in Louisville alone
are annually rejected. This costs you
$4,000. Why notIsend three of your
number to attend the daily sales and
whenever the average price is below
cost OF production authorize them to
stop the sales, by refusing to put up
your tobacco until the demand will
justify an advance in price? Your
travelling expenses in attending your
individual sales would more than pay
the commissioners. viii you do this ?
Will you agree to pay them 8 cents
per hid. for refusing to put up your
tobacco instesd Of paying the ware
house men $3.50 for rejecting it2
Will you assemble yourselves at
your country seats aud appoint del
egates to State cohyentiop to select
men to attend TO his business for
your Will you sitn this agreement,
to-wit: II hereby Pgree to place the
selling of my tobacco in the hands of
the commissioners to be selected by
the State convention of tobacco grow
ers TO be held in Lexington December
9th, ana to allow them 5 cents for
each hogshead of tobacco cold above
the average cost of production to be
determined by the State convention ?"
Will you sign this and stick to 1t !?
There will be sold in Louisville alone
not less than 10000 hogshesds of the
1888 crop. The average cost of this is
not less than s cents per pound. I'm
less you do something to protect your
interests it will not average more
than cents. This means a. loss to
you of the enormous sum of S3,000,-
600 on one crop of tobacco. Can you
stand this? AT cents commission
on each hogshesd The cost would be
only $500. What is this compared
to $3,000,000? Your commissioners
could be on the breaks by the first of
December next. II you are compelled
to reslize on your crop you could use
your warehouse receipts as collateral
and borrow monev until your tobacco
is sold. This you could well afford 10
do rather than Fuffer loss of S3,000,-

Independence or n Protectornte.

We first of all desire absolute indepen-
dence If the United States is unwilling to
accord US that from the first then the next
thing which would meet with favor by our
people would be the establishment of a pro-
tectorate by the United States, and, third.
TO become colonial possession of this
country. One thing is certain, and that is
that the United States cannot Justly ask
Us to lay down our arms and accept any
terms of peace until we are absolutely as
sured by America that our island will
never be given back to the control Of SDain
and Will never more be 81 colonial possession
of that country, which has through long
ages oppressed and misruled us That
point guaranteed to US. we will willingly
lay down our arms and accept what the
American government believes in Justice
and right we should be accorded Should
all of these three propositions which have
named fail, We would prefer to become a
possession of Great Britain, if not of the
United States. We want to become asso-
ciated and connected. even IL we have our
independence. with nation of progress
and advancement. We have implicit conf
dence that we will be awarded our rights
and Just deserts at the hands of the Amer
lean people, and in fact. our fate is in
their hands; but should they finally decree
that we must revert to the rule of Spain
we VIII continue our struggle. as Cuba has
done. to the death. and until every Philip
pine has been exterminated by tie ravages
of war. Never will we return t. the rule
of Spain: We prefer annihilat!on first"

NOW. A new era in dentistry
has been inaugurated by us.
The barrier OF high prices has
been knocked away-and newer
and lower ones substituted. The
placing OF specialists in opera
tive and mechanical dentistry,
in crown work and in extract
ing at the head OF the particu-
lar branch of which he is mas
ter, assures a higher degree of
skill and quickness, and conse-
quently less pain. Our prices
are One-half OF what other good
dentists charge, because our
purchases OF supplies are extern
s1ve, and because each depart
ment is in charge OF an expert
specialist who attends to moth
ing else but his particular branch
OF dentistry. No one will give
YOU better work than You'll OBJ
tain from us; no one can give
You more painless dentistry.
And, remember, everything
done here is guaranteed. Con-
sultatiOn costs nothing. Well
