Mr. EDIToR:-I desire to express my
admiration of the pluck and perseverance
of those Democrats who worked for the
success of the Crothers ticket, on Satur-
day last, while the Writ men seemed to
have been completely demoralized. After
considerable effort five men good and
true were found who consented to have
their names placed on the Writ ticket,
only one of whom showed up; whether
the absentees got lost or tainted by the
wayside no one knows. Now it is the
duty of every voter, be he rich or poor, to
attend the primaries and vote, because
that is the political fountain head, and all
persons know that stream cannot rise
higher than its fountain, or a polluted
fountain send forth a pure stream. We
hear persons daily denounce boss rule,
yet through fear of mourning the dis
pleasure of the boss or his lieutenauts
they do Just what he wishes-stay away
from the primary meeting and let them
run the machine.

1897, passing ven the record OF cigars.
Then came the anti-cigarette sgita,
ton, and the tax was advanced from SO
cents a thousand to $1.50. The effect
is seen in the fact hat this year the
total production amounted to $780,
SOS, 9O6 only. That there is apparently
little increase in the worlds demand
for cigarettes as shown by the fact that
the exports Of American-made
cigarettes continue to increase despite
the numbers of European firms with
methods which have recently begun
business. For the eleven months
closing May 81 the total exports of
cigarettes was 1,064, SIT 900, as against
S99, 81, OO0.for 1S97-9S, or an increase
of los, 200. 900. The tax collected on

1897, SO, an increase of S141, 1888.
In manufactured tobacco (which in
cIudes chewing andssmoking varieties)
there is the greatest change. The
heavy decrease in the chewing districts
shows APPARENTLY that at last the habit
is we'll under way to extinction. The
stronghold of the chewing industry,

900 pounds last year, the Fifth Ken
lucky district shows a decrease of 4.5OO,ss
600 pounds, New Jersey shows q de-
crease of nearly 5000. 900 pounds, and
the New York distaict, making the
fne-cut chewing tobacco. has a de-
crease of 1000. 900 bounds. The de-
crease of 81 ,155, 231 pounds in manufsc.
tured tobacco from a gross product in
1897 -9s of 294, 287, 941 pounds would
seem to be in chewing tobaccos rather
in smoking tobacco, although
there appears little doubt that while
the production of the cheaper kinds of
smoking tobaccos has largely increas-
ed, the high-priced grades, selling at
81 a pound, and upward, have greatly
decreased in popularity. Once again

LESS CHEWING OF TOBACCO
-Four And d Half BlIlion:Clgars Man
nufaCtured in a Year

The government report just issuep
shows that during a fiscal year of 1905
SO this country manufactured for home
consumption 1929. S72, 304 cigars. This
is an apparent decrease of IL, IA ,265
from the year before. 1t should be
stated that in April and May, 1898,
when it was known that the tax was to
be increased, there was a rush to get
goods shipped out of the factories to
escape the new tax, and it Is estimated
that about l20, 600, 600 cigars where
thus made in excess of the normal pro-
duct. These cigars really belong to
the fiscal year just ended, and SO it
may be said that there was an actual
increase instead of a decrease in pro-
ductiop.
The tax amounted to SIG, 307, 108 for
1895, 80, against S13 500, 049 In 1928,
an increase of 81, 681.O58. 1t is also in
teresting to note that with the renewal
of prosperity the product of what are
generally regarded as the cheap cigar
districts no longer shows the great in
crease of q few years ago. The stogie

A MOTHER
With Four Imbeclle Children Bound
West.

A very sad sight was presented to
the passengers on the west S. p. train
on Saturday. On board was a mother
and her four children from San An
tonic on their way to California.
The children are all imbeciles and
have been q source of great uneasiness
to the train crew. One of the children,
a boy about fourteen years old tried to
jump out of the train window and had
to be chained down. The mother ap-
pears to be q hard working woman and
shows signs of the great trouble she
has undergone, and she says che prsys
every night that the children might
die for then they would be happy.
None of the asylumS in this state will
take the children and the poor woman
is taking them to California to zee If
she cannot place them in ONE institu-
ton there. The remarkable feature of
the case is hat the father and mother
are both sound mentally and physicians
who have inquired into the case are at
a loss to account for the condition of
the children.
